Remembering Dreams
12:06 AM | 
Posted by

I just finished starting a site for my comic company and had the vision of remembering a dream. It was kind of bizarre and difficult to explain, but I don't have deja vu or anything like that, I actually remember my dreams. I know when I'm on the right path when this happens. It's like I have seen it before, and in all reality I have seen it before. I'm just remembering what I had forgotten. It's happened to me all day even when I was work. It makes me feel like this is where I should be and what I should be doing. I'm trying not to stretch myself too thin, but I've gotta remain busy and keep following my path.When I have nothing to do is the moment that I stray from my path.
Tonight I won't write much because I have set a deadline for my new comic website. I need to get started and honestly, I'm already tired and I have to work tomorrow. I may just throw on my headphones and rest up because I've got 2 full pages to finish by 11pm on Sunday, which is just under 2 days and I still need to draw, ink, scan and color the pages before I can post them to my site. So good night and wish me luck :)
In Love and Respect,

The Ego and the Divine
When I was little you had the traditional options for careers. The options were teacher, firefighter, police man, super hero (one of my favorites), and writer and so on. No one ever told me that I could be a spiritual teacher or life coach. It had never occurred to me that these were even options. These types of careers don't even get mentioned when I became an adult. I suppose it's because they may seem kind of foofoo or ridiculous. Now I know that this is not the case because this is what I believe that I have been called to do. Very recently I had decided to attend the University of Sedona/University of Metaphysics. I gave it up to the Divine. They are offering a scholarship type thing to help students pay for the programs. I emailed the school and told them my situation with money, mainly telling them of my interest in the program, but I wouldn't have the money to enroll before the deadline. I told the Divine that if I am meant to do this work then they would email me back saying that they would extend the deadline for me. Needless to say, I received an email from the school this morning, before noon, that they would extend the deadline for me to enroll. I was so thrilled when I received the news. I honestly thought that they wouldn't when I sent the email the previous evening. I'm pleased to say that I was wrong.
I did the same with a job that I got recently. I was trying to find a job that was close to my home because of the lack of transportation. I had several options and I received an offer that was very close to my home just in time because my transportation to my other job was no longer available. I had given the decision up to the Divine and received the answer. I just asked what would be best for me.
I believe what happened was that I let go of my ego long enough for the opportunity to come to me. I accepted what would happen while at the same time remaining positive that the Divine would provide the best for me.
Here I am again giving it up to the Divine in helping me decide what my life's purpose is. I honestly don't know, but I'm not going to get in my own way. I'm just going to work hard and enjoy life. I suppose the expression would be "Going with the flow." I have never been very good at going with the flow, but I'm getting better because I believe that if I just let things flow and accept what is and what I am, than I am much better off. I'm not fighting whatever my life's purpose is, I'm accepting it whatever it may be and moving forward.
I urge anyone who reads this to try and incorporate this mentality because it really works. Trying to figure out where the ego will take you will only leave you even more confused. I know this from personal experience. I do not regret my experiences because I believe that I will have some use for them in the future. Giving it up to the Divine, be it God, Goddess, or whoever you believe the Divine to be, will lead you in the right direction. Being open to the possibilities will help you recognize the opportunities that are presented to you.

Uncertain Life Purpose
For the majority of my adult life I have been trying to figure out my purpose in life. My interests are many and span dozens of different fields. It has been more than difficult to decide what career path I should choose. I have a great love of art and technology, but I also have a love of philosophy and spirituality. I keep wondering how I can combine all my interests into a field that would be rewarding not only financially, but fulfilling to my soul. I need to make a living at what I love and I need to love how I'm making a living. I believe the divine has given me the talents that I possess. I don't believe that these talents will or should be wasted.
I hear from many people that they fell into something that they love, but I also hear from many people that they can't making anything work. I ask them one question, "If you could do anything, what would it be?" I get a variety of responses, but each response tells me so much about the person. Each person was put on this Earth for a purpose, and that purpose is unique to the individual.
I do remember my mother telling me that when I was very young even before I started school, telling her that I wanted to be a teacher. I had always assumed that meant an academic teacher, but I'm not sure that is the case anymore. I believe that I am supposed to be a life teacher. I believe that I am supposed to help people find their way and discover their talents. I have always had a way to inspire and motivate people in finding their talents and using their talents.
I remember one ex of mine telling me that I had changed his life. It was an awesome feeling knowing that a 17 year helped him find another way and find hope that he could be better than he was telling himself. I had never realized that I could have such a profound impact on someone's life.
I think I have been afraid of my own power and my own abilities. I belittled myself on a regular basis, because that was all I knew. It was only when I began to accept who I was and who I would be that my life began to change. I had given all those people who put me down and told me I was worthless, all the power. My ego had all the power, even though I thought of myself worthless. Recently, I began to accept myself and like me, that's when I pushed my ego aside and let the divine in me take over. My ego still creeps up, but it is much easier to deal with than before.
Now that I have a better grip on ego and am beginning to put mine in check, I can begin to fulfill my life's purpose, which is learning, teaching and creating. I want to learn all I can to help people. I want to teach people what I have learned so that others can benefit. I want to create a world of peace, understanding and mutual respect. I believe that is possible because anything is possible.
In Love and Respect,

University of Sedona/ University of Metaphysics
My first step in my journey. I will be attending, through distance ed, the University of Sedona/University of Metaphysics.
I had a revelation last night and decided to contact them. I gave it up to the divine. If this was something I was supposed to do then they would contact me, if not then I wasn't supposed to go down this path.
Well, needless to say, I was contacted this morning. My heart sung when I received the message.
I'm excited about this new direction in my life. I just need to get the small amount of money together to get started. Which in reality isn't any more than sending off an application to another university. It's something that I can afford.
I honestly was surprised by this new direction because I have always thought of myself as an artist. But many doors have been closed to me until now. Being an artist is important to me, but giving hope and guiding others is just as important. I gave it up to the divine and received my answer.
