I was in the middle of taking an online course the other day and the program froze. I sat there and watched the little wheel spin round and round, expecting that at any minute it would advance to the next slide as it had been doing. No luck. I walked away in exasperation and got sidetracked doing something else. The next morning, the wheel was still spinning. I began wondering if it was mirroring how I might be “spinning my wheels” in other ways in life.
For a while now, I have been feeling myself drawn to ever deepening levels of spirituality. (Actually, there are no “levels” in Oneness, which is what we are, but for the sake of conversation, I will use that word.) It’s all I want to talk and write about, but I find myself holding back for two reasons. Because I am still learning, I am concerned that I won’t be able to adequately answer the questions that will invariably arise in response to what I write. And, if I cannot answer those questions, will I leave people feeling upset and confused.
If I look at those fearful thoughts in light of the truth that we are all One, then who could I possibly upset (or help!) but myself? And, if we each have the answers within ourselves (which we do because we are all connected to the One Mind – the Higher Self that knows the truth), then the writing need only be a catalyst for people to look more deeply within themselves.
These truths that I am remembering are helping me reconnect with and experience the love, peace, and joy that is my (our) true nature. Why wouldn’t I want to share?!!! I owe it to my One self to extend the loving truth to the best of my ability in every moment. Anything less, and I am just “spinning my wheels”.

I understand exactly what you mean, Paula. I had an idea for a workshop on Spirituality throughout world history, from the beginning. I was fearful of how I could do such a thing, and yes answer questions from the participants. Well, while it is not yet up and running, I have done the syllabus and given it to a couple of people for review. I have also put together the first part of the workshop and so far everyone is pleased with what I have to offer and consider it a worthy effort. So I’m clearing the FEAR blocks and moving forward.
Until I started clearing the FEAR blocks, I didn’t realize that all through life I have stopped myself achieving through Fear. Something that I continue to work on. Always evolving, always working on being a better, more loving human.
Hi Cherune, Thank you for sharing your experience with me. Each time we clear away another FEAR block, we do it for all of humanity. All the best with your workshop. 🙂
