There comes a point in every adult's life where he knows he's at a crossroads. He can continue on the same path, but that will only yield the same results. Or he can take the path he knows is a better one, and enjoy new and different results. I came to that crossroad last night and this morning. I know absolutely the path I want and need to be on. Turning away from the other is so much easier when one is self-aware enough to have perspective.
I woke up around 3 this morning. Lying in bed I had a nice thought occur to me, “The more you know yourself the less you need.” Specifically I was thinking of this in terms of "stuff," but it can apply to almost anything, emotional neediness, fear of being by one’s self, etc.
Telling this to my friend Dan his reply was perfect. "True. The path winds inward." Indeed.
Last night I cracked open a beer and this was on the inside of the bottle cap. I've never even paid attention to a beer bottle cap before! It’s so funny for that to pop up right now. I've found myself being at another fork in life’s road so this seemingly innocent little beer cap fortune had a far greater significance for me. It seems The Universe is always finding clever ways to get the message through. Some people would say this is like a Rorschach test or horoscope, reading into it what you want, making the message fit the situation. The difference for me is that I'm finding the more mindful and self-aware I'm becoming the more these kinds of cosmic communications seem to happen. A friend says this is tapping into the power of unconscious. Perhaps he's right. Perhaps tapping into the power of that unconscious is tapping into The Universe as well?
