Princess Sassy Pants & Co.™

I thought about losing the few pounds of pandemic weight that snaccidently found its way to my bootie, but I haven’t felt motivated. So, for now, I’m shopping for bigger pants. Oopsie.

Yesterday I shared a few words about these little commentaries I feel nudged to post lately. I’m actually not a private person regarding my experiences and what I’ve learned. I’ve given large seminars and share profound ideas at times with some who are led to me, but some ideas go really deep, and we have to be prepared for that.

I listen within when I share and notice that here, the words are chosen carefully as words can get very tricky when it comes to spirituality. We tend to hear a word and assume we know what it means based on what we’ve read or have been taught.

Words are little letters or symbols with an agreed-upon meaning strung together to point to something. They are never the thing they are pointing to. The word “chair” isn’t actually a chair. I could write the word chair, and someone might immediately envision a recliner, dining chair, or folding chair. One might see it as a comforting idea, while another as something that restricts them to a desk. And if someone has only read about chairs and has never actually sat in one or has only experienced one type of chair, their interpretation would be even more limited.

It gets even trickier with words related to spirituality and religion. We tend to fiercely defend our spiritual and religious beliefs and the words we associate with those beliefs. Many wars have been waged in attempts to do this.

When I first started having profound spiritual experiences, I saw that I had no idea what most of these words really pointed to and, like a two-year-old, would sit and ask within what they meant one after another. I was always surprised and delighted at what was revealed.

I also saw that I understood nothing apart from direct experience. My mind was open at this point because I no longer believed I already knew. I was teachable. I still question everything I think I know all the time. If I believe I already know something, my mind is closed because I believe I already have the answer; nothing new can enter. Every time I sit in quiet listening, I try to let go of even what I learned yesterday and let the light of this moment enter my awareness.
