Preparation Question: In what way have I gained a deeper understanding of my life and of the forces working in the world?

By knowing myself more deeply. Identifying and understanding feelings related to old wounds, how they affect my behaviors still. Working on these, healing them and letting them go.  Freeing myself from them in my present situation. Exercising vigilance on my feelings and reactions in order to adopt the just behavior. Also connecting with nature and its wisdom  I sometimes get glimpse of its mystery and of some higher forces at play. I called it enchantment

With my growing awareness of the energy of people and nature around me I am learning to accept that God is within me and others

The idea that we are all interconnected energy, emanating from a singular divine source . This awareness influences how I perceive myself, others, and the events unfolding around me. Instead of seeing separation, I  now recognize deeper connections—how thoughts, emotions, and actions ripple through the fabric of existence.

That there truly is a concealed spiritual purpose that is ultimately love, to all that I experience in this world. Trying to remember this when ‘things’ are happening especially ‘unpleasant’ experiences, is the tricky part!

It is funny that we are supposed to get to the conclusión that life is supposed to be navigated with pleasure in a weightless way, to reach the point of the “non suffering” but only by suffering can we get to that conclusion.

I have found a degree of inner peace as a result of having a more open mind.  I’m not so critical of others and try to look at life from their perspective rather than being so judgemental.  Maybe we have more in common than would initially appear?
