This morning I asked my guides for a messages, and they told me to listen to Believe by Journey. Then, after listening & smiling & dancing, I come across your post. Another message to not stop believing, to ride the train of consciousness towards the great unknown. Thank you 🙏🏽
Oh wow, amazing - I couldn’t hope for a better response! Synchronicities and signs are always indications that we’re in flow with the divine, I think… and I didn’t even fully realize the Journey implications of the title until after posting this, but I love it. Here’s to the midnight train going beyond the edge of the illusion of separateness ☺️
Ahhh Eden, this is such a beautiful piece. I want to read it again and again. I love the waves of realizations and flickers of inner knowing. Slowly and then all at once finding the presence of God everywhere <3 I resonate. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for these kind words! They are like flickers, right? May we all find them each day and may they grow into light that magnifies everything around it. <3
When I said I was interested in hearing about this experience, I had no idea I would be reading something quite so rich! The paradoxical realization you had feels like it could be turned over in one’s heart-mind for lifetimes and continue unfolding more luminous petals of ever-deeper insight. Beautifully written, and I loved the humor in the piece as well.
I wish you could see the smile that I have across my face. This was such a joyful read. It recalled elements from the Artist's Way, Power of Now, and Ram Dass's teachings, which have guided my entire spiritual journey thus far. I cannot wait to check out more of your writing <3
I loved this piece Eden, how you wove past and present together, bringing us along with you on the train. I’ve spent a lot of time on trains in India, and what you say about it being an ecstatic experience is so true. I often felt like I was reborn after getting off a three day ride.
I used to struggle so much with the suffering of the world. Especially as I delved deeper into Buddhist practice when I was in my early twenties, spending a lot of time in South Asia. I remember flying home from Nepal one time sobbing almost the whole time about the suffering of the world (not an isolated experience either). In recent years, a lot of that has changed for me as I have tapped into a view that feels wider and more refreshing, where yes suffering is happening and I want everyone to be free from that, but also, everyone is already inherently connected to the unified field of source energy, and so in the larger scope, no one is excluded from returning back into that original bliss, knowing, joy - even if they don’t attain that in this lifetime. And after all, as you pointed out, I am the one actually perceiving the suffering in my perception of the universe. And in that sense, a cocreator of it. It’s up to me to look deeply and see what I really believe to be true - we see what we look for, and it feels more aligned for me to see everyone as inherently empowered, even if they are not able to fully access it. At least for me, that makes it easier for me to look beyond what is unfolding, and see the deeper, pure indestructible soul essence that we all share, to honor everyone in that original freedom, and feel a compassion that does not infantilize anyone in a ‘let me do this for you because you can’t’ way, but in a ‘I see you, I am holding space for you’ way that allows for aligned and inspired action to take place if that’s what I am called to. It has never resonated with me that if we don’t “get it” in this one lifetime, then it is a gamble where the winds of karma will take us - which is a part of why I used to struggle so much with other’s suffering. My whole body relaxes at the thought of death being a clearing house, where all resistance is released and the slate is cleared. And how if we can find our own centered space that is tapped into a deeper soul knowing, that in and of itself is a powerful way to serve the whole.
