Walk Through Those Doorways

March 6, 2005

Greeting from the Hill of Light,

What a beautiful day this has been! We are enjoying unseasonably warm
weather under clear, deep blue skies with no hint of additional spring snow
for at least another week or more. The snow on the ground is melting
rapidly giving way to a blanket of mud on the roads. Mud is always the
challenge as we get into spring but we never complain as the moisture
received this year will provide great benefit to the forest and meadow.
This should be a banner year for wildflowers! On the north side of our
home, there is still about three feet of snow so it will be a few months
before any wildflowers will be able to stick their heads out of the forest
floor.

We are reminded of how we are always in a transition as we pass through life
’s experiences much as the surrounding land is always in transition as well.
Often we discover interesting field rocks that are certainly not native to
this area but were brought to the Hill of Light in ancient times by glaciers
that once covered the surrounding mountains. The land is indeed in
transition although we, as humans, have a tremendous capacity to foreshorten
the time scale to fit into our few decades of embodied life. There was much
in transition in preparation for our short sojourn on Mother Earth. We,
too, will transit this experience in a cosmic blink of the eye. What is the
legacy we will leave with those that continue on in earthly experiences?
What are we doing now to enhance the expansion of Love and Light? Questions
to ponder……..



Blessings of Love and Light,

John and Cheryl

WALK THROUGH THOSE DOORWAYS

There is a symbol that is frequently used in describing the spiritual

journey. As you move along the pathway of your spiritual path, which is
truly just a pathway of remembering what you already know, remembering who
you already are, as you move across and along this pathway, you come to
certain junctures, or certain points of expansive understanding or
accelerated illumination. You come to certain points where you simply need
to move forward and let go of false beliefs and other attachments that would
otherwise hold you back.

These moments are often referred to as doorways, doorways to greater
understanding, doorways to greater levels of illumination, doorways to
experience in order to graduate from the lessons chosen for the lifetime you
are in. So these doorways that are available, as they are metaphorically
referred to, are those points of decision-making. For when you come to a
doorway, you do have a choice, do you not – to walk through the doorway or
to simply avoid the doorway and continue down an alternative pathway.

We would recommend that you ponder these doorways of momentary experience
rather carefully for these are aspects of the emerging consciousness that
trigger a response to a potential opportunity. Often when you recognize a
doorway, by walking through the doorway you may not know what is on the
other side, but does it make any difference? For as you feel the inner urge
to take a certain pathway, to walk through a certain doorway of experience,
a doorway of understanding, a doorway of opening to the greater reality of
your existence, as you come to these doorways, you recognize them. You know
what they are. They are moments of opportunity to move beyond the level of
awakening or the level of understanding where you presently find yourself.

So recognize these doorways of opportunity and allow the inner impulse to
guide you through the doorway as it appears. Again, not knowing what’s on
the other side, not knowing the experience that awaits, not knowing the
accelerated awakening that will most likely occur, not knowing the details
of the pathway that lies beyond the doorway, you still need to follow that
inner impulse, that inner urge to move forward, to move beyond where you
consciously are, to walk the pathway of expanding awareness, to walk the
pathway of continuous illumination, to walk the pathway of enlightenment.

Recognize these doorways of experience and accept them willingly. Walk
through them enthusiastically, observe then what it is that is occurring as
you have made the decision to move along the pathway through the doorway
offered, and allow the experience that you gain to add to the total sum of
experiences for this lifetime as you awaken to the truth of who you are, as
you remember the real you, and as you move forward in the consciousness of
the creative impulse, always expressing, always loving, always radiating
light, always sharing in the truth that you know by simply being the truth
that you are.

That is the pathway you have chosen, so why not walk through the doorways
that are offered and embrace life enthusiastically for it will in turn
embrace you as you awaken to the truth of the real you.

You are I AM, the Love, Light, and Life of creation.
