The Mystic Path calls for heroes. To perform deeds of valor on the battlefield is not necessarily heroic. Authentic heroism is inner action, unseen and unapplauded by men. It consists in a willingness to wade, if necessary, through a thousand personal blunders in order to reach the next elevation. The basic heroism is an agreement to higher truth.
Vernon Howard
You can be the hero in your own story without having all the answers and never making a misstep. I love the idea of ‘a willingness to wade, if necessary, through a thousand personal blunders in order to reach the next elevation’! That’s what writing our story every day entails. A clean slate. We learned from yesterday. We move higher today. We participate in ‘an agreement to higher truth.’ Get writing!
BOOK LIGHTS: from Wild Heart Dancing: A Personal, One-Day Quest to Liberate the Artist and Lover Within by Elliot Sobel
October 18, 2012 — RosemaryThe number one single most powerful archenemy of full Self-expression, the arrow that can painfully pierce the Wild Heart Dancing and render it lifeless, is fear. An instinctive response to living in a world laced with fear is wanting to crawl away and disappear. We think that if we aren’t seen, perhaps we will be safe. And yet our soul cries out to be seen, and heard, and danced, and sung, before ourselves and Life. And it isn’t safe. But to opt for mere safety is to risk letting our spirit collapse in despair. As Helen Keller said, “Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.”
Elliot Sobel
Your Soul ‘cries out to be seen’! You have a role to play in the unfolding plan of the Universe. Be who you came here to be. Holding onto the fear that paralyzes you takes more energy than stepping out to clear the blocks and the fear that are holding you back from your growth. Dance!!!
