The Ability to Hear
“I think an essential step [in this progression is developing sensitivity to the subtle promptings of one’s soul,” says Dubitsky. “Sometimes, the promptings can be felt viscerally in the form of illnesses of one kind or another. Everything from tension headaches to backaches to stomachaches, to stress and colds or accidents can be signals that something is saying stop! Getting sick allows for rest—and rest allows for reflection.”
The quest, says Andrews, is really no more that a search to re-establish our own connection with spirit—a return to the spiritual presence out of which we are born and to which we eventually return. This connection, he adds, is one that may feel extremely distant within the context of daily life and the intricacies of responsibilities and relationships. Approaching this search by setting an intention, suggest Rann and Arrott, can aid in the process.
“Intention is the first harbinger of our acceptance of a change in our lives or the expression of a new dream,” explain Rann and Arrott. “It is the wisp of the idea that we say ‘yes’ to. The wisdom and power of the universe is always prepared to fully support and provide everything necessary for the unfoldment of the dream, and intention is the key that calls forth this universal wisdom and power. Next, we make the decision to accept this dream or goal in our lives, and this decision sets the action. Our commitment to the dream while it is unfolding—whether we see it happening or not—releases the full wisdom and power of spirit into action to bring this manifestation into existence for the greatest and highest good for all concerned. And, so often, this manifestation will turn out to be so much better than we ever could have thought.”
In the beginning of any spiritual search, I think it’s important to have a support group or a guide or teacher. Embracing spiritual truth in a way is like traveling to a new country. Old coping mechanism will no longer work, so being with people who’ve traveled the same road is very helpful, as is reading books or listening to CDs that are both inspirational and instructional.
