Share with us your own aha moment

[Andrew, Jr.]

Oprah said "What I know for sure - When you know who you are and what you stand for, you stand in wisdom."

I believe that when you are on a journey, no matter what it is (spiritual-intellectual-physical-and so on) you find your inner most soul.

So, share with us your aha moment.

Namaste,
Andrew

Let me go first. Mine was at NIH in Bethesda. I'm 46 yo. My sister, Jo, was there participating in a clinical trial. She was taken for a Pet Scan, so I thought I would go get a cup of coffee and maybe an apple or something to eat. Well, let's just be honest, I am directionally challenged. I can't read a map to save my soul. I also have no clue as to what is north, south, east, or west. So, I make it to get the coffee and an apple. I head back upstairs. But somehow I manage to get myself lost. I roam the halls of building 10. The nurses at their stations at various points finally try to help me. It took one nurse to literally walk with me back to Jo's room. Thank God. Then a nurse comes in to take Jo's temperature. And looks strangely at me. She asks me if I have a twin? And how old I am? I smiled, and said my age. She told me she thought I was maybe 18 or 19 yo. I was in my mojo moment. I am young. Really. Even with my few grey hairs.

Living Wide Open:
Landscapes of the Mind

I will not die an unlived life

I will not live in fear

of falling or catching fire.

I choose to inhabit my days,

to allow my living to open me,

to make me less afraid,

more accessible,

to loosen my heart

until it becomes a wing,

a torch, a promise.

I choose to risk my significance,

to live so that which came to me as seed

goes to the next as blossom,

and that which came to me as blossom,

goes on as fruit.

Dawna Markova

When I read this poem by Markova it was my aha moment.
Her book "I will not die an unlived live Reclaiming Purpose
and Passion", an incredible journey.

Interesting thread. I have had several aha moments in my life, as more of me was revealed to my earthly self. The timing of this new thread is oddly coincidental for I just recently have been having a series of dreams where my higher self has been working with my earthly self, and allowing me to remember it during the day so I can process it consciously. Which frankly has been a bitch,especially when dealing with one particular day of such intense grief that I wanted to rip the whole thing out of me like a inner shadow being pulled out. An Inner Skinning. Anyway, everytime I process it and walk thru the cerebral fires, damn if something wasnt revealed about myself.

its been a week of evolution for me..

Softness,

I want to say to you that there is an incredible strength of Self, when
one becomes Aware as it seems you have experienced. It is not easy,
and it is as Real as it gets don't you know.

Softness,

That, in fact was my point, and what seems to me your strength.

My quote from Jung is simply a stunning reality for many people. It
had been for me, which is why I like it front and center.

I might be evolving spiritually but here on this earth, I dense..lol....points I do not always get and am always tripping , wondering if people get me. I am rather that not complicated if you read my sense of humour as a sign of intelligence and my intelligence as humerous..and I mean that very respectfully to my self...
