Rastus

[Rastus]

Hi, my name is Bryan.

I have been around on a number of forums, almost always as ‘Rastus’. I am mostly a teacher, although I have been many things. I learned a long time ago (or was it last month, so hard to tell!) that the best way to learn is to teach. I teach something to someone, and they teach me something. There is a certain innate balance to that. It has always held true for me. Even when I’ve been totally clueless at the time, hindsight shows me where the lesson, or at least the opportunity for a lesson, occurred.

I’m 42 years old. I was very spiritually aware and active in my teens. Coincidences occurred that lead me down a particular path. The early lessons have stuck with me all this life, even if I no longer follow that path. Then around age 17 I went into a spiritual hibernation. Hindsight tells me that the next 20 years of my life was just how I planned it. Mostly. There was a Quantum shift around 1985-86, and yes I know why. I stayed mostly in hibernation, only waking up enough to do this or that as needed. Then about 4 years ago events started to help me remember who I really am.

I can’t begin to describe the synchronicities and coincidences that helped me along the way. I always had a choice in the matter. I was totally free to pursue the path I’m currently on, or stay on the one I was forging back then. I read quite a bit, and scoured the web. I meet a teacher/mentor/friend that sheparded me through the tough parts. I’ve helped her balance who she is. And yes, we have done this before, even been brother/sister.

I actually read the Celestine books around December of 2006. For me they were a marvelous validation. There were in tune with what I held as my ‘truth’. They fit in with the other works that resonated incredibly strongly with me. I needed some validation in my life…great coincidence. The biggest “Oh WOW’s” are the ones that have been right in front of you the longest!

So here I am on yet another forum, curious if this one will be different from most of the others. What I mean by that is; can people speak and have their words listened to. Seems pretty simple, can their point of view be accepted for what it is? Not who is right or wrong, but how is their perspective of the Universe different from mine, and what do they see from there? Should I stop by and take a look from their perspective? Would they like to see from my perspective? Can we find a new perspective neither of us has seen individually? Are we missing the forest for all the trees? How many analogies can I use in one paragraph???

Hi Bryan,

And thank you, your post made me feel very lighthearted - don't know why, it just did... perhaps it was the mood you were in when you wrote it?

I think that like you, we can only truly learn by truly wanting to learn. I believe that we're all in this thing together, albeit in different places due to our individual personalities, experiences and circumstance of the moment. So please, feel free to be your true self in that moment. I'm sure you'll be amazed at the responses.

Enjoy your unique and special journey.

Hey Bryan,
YA..........................you're here! So teach, kiddo! It's alright....how many times have we heard that? And...now it makes sense, all of it is 'right.' I'm thrilled you have made the undeniable recovery/discovery. I've been identified by others, but still doubt on a personal level...where, why and when we meet. From the few posts I have read this week, there is a tremendous amount of energy here, and those posting are at a truly brilliant place. Hope you'll take my hand as you find 'it.'
And..........a marvelous day from Kentucky to you
Lyndell

Hello --
I have not stopped here for many months. Why today?
I have gotten lost and I have been praying for the glimmers to light the way back to my energy, purpose, knowing, clarity of self. Funny, lately I have been saying with heart, mind, and soul to anyone who will listen to me that I have always needed to mentor and be mentored; that is my connection, my lifeforce, my way to my soul.
Bryan, you spoke my words and sent me a glimmer. Thank you.

My faith is that many on this forum do accept this open, childlike knowing of exploration and sharing ~~ Energy ~~ Thought ~~ Questions ~~ Acceptance~ Winds of Change and Wisdoms.

Thank you,
Ce

Ce,
It has been my feeling that as we post and share, and learn and accept each other as part of each other, the feeling of alone surely leaves, and we know the 'one.' You're here, perhaps for the same reason that I joined....looking for like-minded souls. I know it is just a matter of 'time' until those we know, those with whom we associate, will connect to the coincidences and come 'back' 'to' us. As I have studied the Insights, I'm remembering clearly the trips to the fridge looking for 'some' thing to satisfy the craving. Even Ben and Jerry's left a void...can you imagine such a thing? Ha!! Daily, I sup, here and in the experiences of James Redfield, as well as into my scriptures given through Christianity and into my own 'innermost' thinking. I find that "I am" relieved, and regenerated. It is my desire to share that with you...intending that you find some relief, some assurance that you are part of a very wonderful living thing...ME...ha!!!! The surface has barely been touched....the depths here are without end...and that sends me into a spirial...literally. I would dance the Sufi round dance, if I had an instructor!! This is a most excellent thing.

Have a wonderful day, dearie...and 'remember'....we're all just a breath/thought away.
Your sister and pal.
Lyndell
