What you see is what you get

"Creating miracles in your life is no more complicated than understanding the metaphysics of the Universal Law. And because that law is indestructible and therefore infinite, we know that the power used by miracle-makers in the past is still available today. Yet, in our modern society we are brought up to believe only in those things we can logically understand. We are not taught either that the Universal Law has limitless potential or that this power is at out disposal and can be used to work miracles in our own lives.”

The above quote comes from a book titled ‘Miracles’ by the author Stuart Wilde. It was a gift from Shera at the time Tamie entered our lives. I know I read it back then, because he became one of my favorite authors. Interesting that I picked up this book and re-read this quote before the Dateline show. Now, in the present, I realize that today I know the truth in this statement, but back then? It was just another seed planted in my brain until further notice. Reminds me of a movie I watched recently called The Secret Life Of Words! Who knew these words I read so long ago led me to a secret that was hidden from my view? And …….I wonder as I wander if these words of mine will unlock the door to the hidden wisdom hidden inside you! The written word is silent and silence is golden and is one of the Universal Laws.

Although Stuart Wilde is a lecturer and author of many books on the subject of Universal Laws (and I quote from the book) – “he does not preach, or solicit donations, or manipulate the individual into a ‘group’ reality”.

I do not know why this group thing has entered my head at this particular time, but I feel it’s important. Maybe it is because after watching Dateline, I said to Caprice – “there, but for the grace of God, go I”. Group reality? Somehow it is connected to the next page in this story of ours. If I have given the impression in my preceding blog that it is not a good thing to seek help from others of like mind, this is not the case.

Groups give us a safe place to begin to listen, to learn and to gather the necessary ‘tools’ to go it alone, because, ultimately, this is how it must be done - or not. Once felt in the body, this spiritual rush cannot be denied. The problem arises when the only way to feel the ‘rush’ is to be surrounded by it, hence the need to keep looking for outside help to ‘go within’ as it is termed. Sounds a lot like an addict must feel does it not? Imagine how difficult it is to beat an addiction once it gets a grip on you and you get the picture. So? Know that the initial ‘rush’ will come and go and this is a good thing. Just because it can’t be felt doesn’t mean it’s not there. However! Feeling up in the air all the time does not lend itself to functioning too well in the tick-tock (Stuart Wilde’s term for the human condition).

In the beginning we all need help and who better to reach out to than our fellow human beings? Hah! There it is. The answer I’ve been looking for. Our fellow human beings!

Well! I didn’t have to go looking. My ‘outside’ help walked through my front door! All I wanted to do was help my daughter, but now a third person had entered the picture - Tamie. I was so happy to see Caprice smiling again. It had been such a difficult year for Caprice. She had been feeling so isolated and alone because all her schoolmates were off having fun doing what teenagers do and she could no longer participate and one by one they had fallen away. Up until then she had no concept of being different, she was just like them. Now? Everything had changed and this emotional pain was worse than her physical pain. Tamie changed this. She too was feeling the pain that comes from no longer being able to work and having to move back in with her parents.

As for me? Now I had two people who needed whatever it was I had to give. Slowly, without my even knowing it, I began to distance myself from people, places and things in order to find more time to devote to my newfound passion. Fortunately for me, I had to come down to earth to handle my responsibilities at the stores, which meant my intellectual brain had to kick into gear. I loved my job! When I was there, I was there, if you know what I mean. I didn’t mention anything to anybody away from home what I was up to as far as the healing work was concerned. Hah! One of the most valuable pieces of wisdom there is and I didn’t even have to be told – “don’t speak, don’t say a word”. This jumping back and forth from the spiritual realm to the physical kept my feet on the ground while my head was in the sky.
