Setbacks

For the past few months I have gotten every thing I have asked for. It has been an amazing ride full of high stress, amazement, awe and seemingly never-ending lists of things to do. Now that I have made it to the other side and gotten to my destination - a house sold, a house bought, a job lost, a job found - I find myself running into a road block. My last goal, to reach the state of Clear, has been slowed.

The road block would be considered a "bump" by some, but for me it is more than that. I was told I needed to complete more actions than I anticipated. One in particular needs to be completed before I leave and it is a particularly long one that requires a minimum of 20 days. The main issue I have with this one is the time it takes because I have committed to starting my new job on September 1st. I did this in order to have more time just in case a set-back occurred. However, I did not anticipate a setback like this or I would have said my start date needed to be October 1st! The other thing is I do not feel I need it at this time.

What is this additional step I need to complete? It is called the Purif and it is a program intended to clear the body of toxins left by medications, radiation, diet, drugs, alcohol, etc. The Purif consists of a daily regimen of vitamins and minerals, exercise and time spent in the sauna. It takes a minimum of 20 days to complete because the individual slowly increases vitamins and time in the sauna until they reach a specified amount.

I completed the Purif in 2007. However, they believe I need it again. I am not surprised. I had three children since then and one, the most recent, was major surgery where I was pumped with some potent medications. I know it is for my own good to complete this program but I just really wasn't anticipating it and really don't want to do it right now. It is slow, time consuming and boring. Every day you go in to the church, take your vitamins, jump on the treadmill for 30 minutes and then sit in the sauna for ever increasing amounts of time. The program is very successful and is used in the Narconon drug rehab program to help individuals kick drug addiction. I just really don't want to do it right now. :(

In addition to the Purif, I will have to complete another action later on. I have also already completed it and don't really feel I need it. It is also boring to me because like with the Purif, there is no digging into past lives, which is the part I love the most.

Options

I have a couple of options. One, I can call my new place of employment and tell them I will not be able to start when I anticipated and let them decide if they want to rescind their offer. The second is that I can wait until next summer when I will have more time.

The thing is, I don't want to wait that long. I feel I can't afford to wait that long. Another thing is that I have been second guessing taking the job I was offered. I still don't know if counseling in an educational environment is what I want to do and feel I may have put myself into another position which I may later regret. However, because of unforeseen financial obligations, I need to be working at least part-time.

Writing this, the choice seems obvious but I hesitate because I hate to throw away such a perfect employment opportunity, one that allows me to set my own hours and is in the perfect location. But I do not feel 100% about it and there is a nagging feeling that goes with putting aside my spiritual goals and hanging onto something for purely monetary reasons. There is also this feeling that I am meant to be somewhere else and that the opportunity has just not presented itself; that my path will be revealed in time. It all comes down to Trust, and I have always struggled with that.

If I am going to change my mind about my new job, I need to do it today. I do not want to put the man who hired me in a position where he is scrambling to try and find someone at the last minute. That would not be fair to him and I have already strung him along for a week.

Update

While writing this post, I realized that my heart is just not into working part-time yet. So, I called my husband about my considerations and he informed me that he would be making bonuses enough to handle our bills for the next nine months. So, my understanding is now that I do not need a part-time job. This frees me up to do whatever I wish in terms of work and spiritual pursuits.

I hate to call and tell them I changed my mind because it cannot be undone. Once I say no, that is it. It puts me in a bad position with them and may burn a bridge. However, sitting around and doing nothing will only makes things worse. I plan to call them and explain today before it is too late. I am trusting myself and my intuition on this one. No more settling for that which is not part of my Truth.

Memory of Between Lives

I keep being amazed by the things I am remembering. Today I remembered the moments before I entered into this body. I had always remembered seeing Earth and feeling drawn to come down into a body, but I could not remember anything more. Well, I did today. I remembered walking along a path with a woman who I instantly recognized as "Mom" but not from this life but maybe another one but I cannot place the life at this time. She had shoulder length brown hair that was very smooth and pulled back from around her face. She was smiling and very happy. Can still see her clearly. She was excited and encouraging. The place where we were was very bright and looked like Earth with green grass, trees and blue sky. I could see benches along the path that were bright white and the walkway we were walking on was lined with a similar white stone edging. The woman walked with me to a domed shaped building. It was not very large and seemed almost out of place as it was just sitting at th

The Only Way Out, Is Through

In my years of conversations with Steven and in my often frustrated state, I would ask Steven, "Why are we here?" And he always answers, "To learn". And in deeper conversations he would explain that we as spiritual beings are here on Earth to experience life in a body. This information always set well with me except I didn't understand why we as spiritual beings would be so interested in living in a human body. Surely we have many more exciting prospects in the universe than a human body? So I was often left still wondering, "Why?" Last night, while having an in-depth, spiritual conversation with my husband, I suddenly got the answer to my question. It was one of those times when I feel that I somehow connected with my higher self and channeled information from that part of myself without really knowing I was doing it. It just flowed out of me in response to a conversation my husband and I were having about a calmness I had been feeling for qu

Answers in Dreams

Prior to bed I again asked for clarification, this time shifting my question to, "Give me more specifics on what you mean by "face". Face what exactly?" Dream: Suitor  I was invited to a man's home where we had dinner and a nice chat. He was a nerdy (something has been overlooked) sort of guy with a pronounced nose, thin face and light hair. He was tall and thin, wore glasses and appeared to be somewhat young. We got along well, though, and I enjoyed his company. We spoke about his plans, his education and other things. He invited me to be more than friends. I declined. I remember being attracted to the attention he was giving me but understanding the implications allowing myself to overly indulge in his attention. I did not want to encourage him knowing I was unable to reciprocate. I had thoughts about my husband and family at this time. I remember him telling me he had bought the house (soul, self) we were in. His believed if he owned a house and was
