How many Great Ones have counseled us to stay steady with our inner practices, knowing the time would come when they would provide us with our truest stability amidst an ever-shifting landscape of change?
Like everything else that comes along in our journeys, the coronavirus holds out the possibility of facing it head-on and opening to receive the gifts hidden in the emotional turmoil and trauma it initially brings up.
Just as all great evolutionary catalysts do, coronavirus is holding up a clear, sometimes stark mirror: Where are we with it all — really?
As we self-isolate in our homes, we may notice that they now resemble ashrams, places in which we can go within to reconnect with all that is real and eternal.
We can also take stock of our human selves and how they are meeting this crisis.
What haven’t we yet faced?
What don’t we feel ready for?
Who among us doesn’t have some remaining fear, doubt, and lack of trust in the Divine?
These and all other troubling emotions and thoughts are the overcoats hiding the eternal Light of our innermost true Self.
A couple of winters ago, I received a book in daily meditation. It’s called Taking Off Overcoats. It came in segments that I wrote down and later transcribed into my laptop. I didn’t “write” the book — it was a gift from the Divine for all of us to use during these times on Earth.
The message of this book is: We are here to face and ultimately embrace EVERYTHING as part of our journey Home to who we truly are. As we do this, we realize we can give it ALL into the larger Beingness that holds us all within its endless love and light.
There has never been a better time to let this book be your loving companion in your journey into greater freedom and peace. Together, you can gently move toward whatever has felt too scary to face.
The book is a step-by-step guide to how to be with this disturbing mental and emotional content, and how to let it move through. When we breathe, feel, and turn it over to God, we release the overcoats of suffering. The more overcoats of painful thoughts and feelings we shed, the lighter and happier we become.
DIFFICULT OVERCOATS
But as much as we would like our overcoats to fall off easily and quickly, that doesn't always happen.
Thi is an intense time, a potent moment that is stimulating a lot of feelings, thoughts, and fears to arise in just about everyone.
As you use the guided inner experiences in Taking Off Overcoats to get to the bottom of what is present, some inner material may seem resistant to moving through.
You breathe, feel, and surrender it to God over and over, yet it is still arising.
Something big wants your attention.
It may be bigger than you feel able to meet on your own.
This is an excellent time for a soul-awakening session with one or both of us.
The wider, stronger vessel that is created when we join with another in a sacred space allows us to receive far more powerful divine assistance and guidance.
To set up a session, simply email us with a couple of possible days and times. We’ll respond quickly.
WHERE AM I RIGHT NOW?
Coronavirus is one of the biggest evolutionary catalysts to come along so far.
How are we responding?
We can fear it, resist it, bemoan it, mourn it, feel angry about it — or greet it as yet another opportunity to get free.
The choice is ours, in every moment.
How do you know if there is some spiritual work to be done?
How can you tell whether a book like Taking Off Overcoats might support you in your awakening?
Check yourself out.
If there is anything present other than peace, love, and a deep joy, you’re probably not finished taking off overcoats yet.
But that’s not a tragedy.
You’re in good company.
We’ll ALL be taking off overcoats until we are completely reabsorbed into the limitless One, whenever that happens.
These are the times foretold by countless prophecies and predictions.
Now, more than ever, we can slough off the overcoats of pain and suffering and experience more of the love, light, and life that are our true, divine nature.
We can shed what we are not and stand tall and strong in who we really are.
This may be the culmination of all our earthly lives — the moment of fruition we have evolved toward for millennia.
Is this what you want more than anything else?
Then affirm a central message in A Course in Miracles:
I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.
THAT IS MY ONLY FUNCTION.
THAT IS WHY I AM HERE.
This book offers step-by-step support in how to do that.
Awakening happens as we release who and what we never were, so we can live as the Luminous Self that was always our true, eternal nature.
