A World of the Spirit

 When I came into the rooms, I just wanted to humble myself enough to learn how to control my drinking. Little did I know at the time how much of a spiritual overhaul I would experience. I’d had enough of God, thank you very much. My relationship with the Divine was based on rejecting the pat answers of the past, and relegating my understanding to the top drawer of limiting thoughts.

I now think of my link to Spirit as vibrational. The link is always there, but what do I choose to hear? The lower tones are plodding and heavy. That’s where my focus is on myself - self-pity, regret, anger, envy, lack, little to no impulse control. The higher vibrations are where I am willing to be happy to be of service, to thrum to the music of joy, to ‘rise to the occasion’; this is where I feel my connection to Spirit. It’s where I find serenity and peace.

Beautiful music is created by employing the lower tones juxtaposed with higher tones in order to tell a story, to affect the listener, to create unique beauty. My life is my song, low notes and high notes combined in various ways. From discordant to soaring, from random to orderly, from only low vibrations to the full spectrum of sound.
