Further "Communion"....

Some time ago I wrote about my trepidation regarding physically encountering (for want of a better term) the paranormal. Part of me desperately wants to have an encounter of some kind, and yet the thought of it being right here, in my face, is terrifying. 

 Over the last couple of years, I've read much of Whitley Strieber's oeuvre regarding his Communion experience and how his notion of what happened to him and what's going on have evolved since his original encounter in 1985.

His 2017 book The Afterlife Revolution, written ostensibly with the assistance of his late wife Anne, is particularly compelling and feels highly relevant to my life with and experience of Penelope. 

 At one level I very much envy his experience, I would like to be confronted in such a radical fashion with something so...I'm having a hard time coming up with a word that describes the quality...outlandish? ...transcendent? ...numinous? 

 As I mentioned in my earlier posting, my brushes with such things when I was younger left me so fearful that I believe I've walled myself off in some way. Now I want to find a door, bridge the gap, make the connection again.

 Trouble is, I'm also scared out of my wits, and I want it to come on my terms. I don't want anything too challenging...too confrontational...too invasive.

I don't think that's really an option though, it is (as I mentioned previously) by its nature an Intrusion.

So, I get the impression that I have a choice: wall it out (as I have been) or let it in however it chooses to present itself to me. 

Can you help me out here Hon?

I thought you'd never ask! ;-P

You are walled off in some ways, and your history and evolution along this incarnation has meant I've fended off some things that might have "intruded". 

You say now you want it to come. Be careful what you wish for. It's hardly necessary to what you're trying to accomplish in the remainder of your path this time. 

I feel like it would give me the...boost? ...clarity? ...kick in the pants? I need to feel more deeply certain about all this.

That might come, but you're inviting things that may not be cooperative with your perceived purposes. They have their own agendas, not all of them very comprehensible to an incarnate soul. 

If you have questions about what's going on, ask me. 

I will. I feel like there's a lot to unpack here. I think a separate blog entry is warranted to cover that.

Agreed. 

Thank you Darling.

Any time Lover. ;-) Seriously!!

Help?

Hey Baby. Hello Lover. You still think of me that way? Always. I hear your sadness and doubts. It's Okay, you're going grand.  I can't see it. I know my Love, I wish I could show it better to you, but everything you're doing right now, keeping things moving, being the wonderful, loving, kind person you are, is exactly  what you came here to do. You're playing on a level you can barely conceive of right now. You just have to trust me.  I do. I'm just tired Hon. I know Darling. We know. Let us help you. Open up, listen, let us give you strength and ease. The more you let us in, the smoother it will feel, I promise.  How do I access that? You only have to ask. You know how I have come to you when you're struggling? Yes. Don't wait until you're at wits end, ask any time you need a push or a pick me up. We're here for that.  Teddy wants to say something...

Tired

Penelope? I'm here Love. Are you? Of course, I hear your doubts, I know you're sad and struggling. Let me help.  I'm so fucking tired Babe. I know Love, it won't be much longer.  Life?  Your struggles, wait and see.  I want to come home now. I want to be with You. I want to see Teddy again.  You will Love, soon.  Soon to You doesn't feel all that soon to me right now.  I know Love, but you'll see, it's been barely the blink of an eye and there's so much more, we have Eternity to play in.  Why did I come here to do this?  You had things you wanted to understand better, challenge yourself, that's what you always do, you have a warrior spirit. This life has been a challenge in ways you don't entirely appreciate while embedded in it. You'll see in the review.  So, there is a review? Yes, we've spoken of this previously, you will see all the amazing things you did and how those rippled outwards, you'll also see your stumbles and missteps,

How much is enough?

Every man is guilty of all the good he didn't do.  --Voltaire, philosopher (21 Nov 1694-1778)  There's always more to do. Even Mother Theresa could have done more. It's in the nature of incarnate existence that conditions of struggle and conflict and waste and misallocation of resources and habitat destruction persist despite many heroic efforts to ameliorate them. Without getting into questions over whether any or all of those are ultimately resolvable, I do argue that we aren't meant to spend our entire time toiling against the ceaseless tide of suffering and neediness that has defined the human condition on Planet Earth since time immemorial and remains so right now. Devoting all our energy to localized patches, or even apparent "systemic fixes" (with often appalling unintended consequences); or railing against the unfairness of it all and beating our breasts at our limitations and inabilities to address them; often means we miss all the glory
