Light That Spark

It has been too long a period in which I felt a bit alien in my surroundings.   I walked along with the nagging knowing that we are living fragmented lives, and desperately wanted to put my two hands in to aid in somehow integrating our current lifestyle.   It is a world that moves much faster than the ages before us, and I can understand that trying to keep up can leave you feeling like you've just been swept up by a whirl wind, dizzy and confused.   I've had a curious upbrinding and early adulthood.  Unique in my earnest endeavor to find the truth of existance, all while still facing the normal emotions and psychological changes that come up as a teenager, and as a young woman stepping out on her own into the real world.   I had basic principles I lived by, and still do, such as, 'Just because it hasn't been done, does not mean it can't be done,'  or 'If you want to know me, you must love my father, first and foremost, and others as you do yourself.'   Truth and Love.  Such essential forces of our existance, and yet the current understanding, or underestimation of these, left me quizzical.    How could understanding our very Life Source not be the priority of every human being?   How could we walk along unfilled, on empty, and yet without the intent to find a solution?   My soul was thristy for Spirit.   It became my driving force to ask these questions, and find the root, the answer.   

That in itself, began a journey of spiritual unraveling that left nothing to spare, and completly transformed my existance.   And such story will have to be left for another day, for the point of this blog is not to tell my personal story, but to express deep gratitude.   For since I picked up a copy of 'Integral Spirituality,'  I am no longer an alien to my surroundings.   You can hear Ken Wilber's enthusiasm through out each page, and I am just as estatic.   I am reinspired, reading his words, is like a big understanding hug.    To see that an integral society is being formed,  here as I am still living, is a source of incredible excitement.   It revives my own internal revolution.   

I cannot say it enough.   Thank You!
