Good afternoon readers,
Today, I would like to discuss the Hue. In the book, the Hue was a symbol of my experience and reflections after the accident. It was a reminder of all that I had gone through including viewing the accident from above. The Hue showed me my past and the lessons that were always in front of me even though I had ignored them for most of my life. When I reflected back through my past, I was able to see these lessons or “wake up calls” that I had been given in my life. Eventually, you have to pay the piper so to speak. I was surrounded by blessings in my life and I had taken most those for granted. The Hue showed me those blessings and distinguished them between a clear ego free view and a life shrouded by the darkness of the mist. Even as I was writing the book, I could see how the competitive life I live allows the mist to still change my perspective from time to time. The difference was my growth in self-awareness. God stepped in and gave me a unique view of life and it included literally feeling energy. The energy in words, actions, nature, ego and spirit.
It is difficult at times to understand the “whys” in life, but God taught me that even the negative things have a means to an end.
Taking accountability for yourself and your actions is a massive step to gaining freedom from the mist or ego. It takes daily practice to become self-aware and I pray for it everyday. If I leave ideologies out of it for the purpose of this discussion, God in his purest form of all energy is communicating with us in every moment. The ego or humanity is the only thing blocking us from connecting and seeing his efforts. The Hue showed me a better life, a life that I was meant to live. Today I focus on keeping myself centered. Believe me, my ego still gets in the way. There are times that I say things that are driven from the ego trying to maintain its dominance. After I say or do something stupid, I have to center myself. Practice, practice, practice, it is never easy taking on the ego. Folks, if I could teach you anything about the Hue, it would be that we are always surrounded by God’s energy. It is difficult at times to understand the “whys” in life, but God taught me that even the negative things have a means to an end. If there is negative energy in your life, identify it and how it makes you feel. Don’t allow the negative to control your ego or life. Use the negative to give you a different perspective and then change your world to use it as a positive. Let me give you an example. Right now we have a friend that is going through some difficult times. She has a best friend with young children that is dying of cancer. She fights this battle side by side with her. Our friend has a daily choice of her own to make. She can allow herself to feel God is unfair and unjust as she watches her friend die or she could see how precious life is and remember this lesson as she raises her own family. I have simplified the scenario but I have watched her take on the pain of her friend and it certainly has taken energy from her own family. Use the lessons to give yourself a new perspective. As I recapped the accident in the final chapter of my book, I made it very clear that I could not have grown and become who I am today without those challenges. The same challenges that had me believing my life was in complete turmoil and had little value. I can’t express it enough that if my ego would have taken control, I would have gone back to my old ways including a loss of accountability, loss of awareness, lack of perspective and no faith. Believe and have faith while becoming self-aware and you will see life in totally different light.
I will see you next week!
Thank you for reading, God Bless
