thanks seth, for the golden nuggets

been reading seth (and jane and rob) for many years, most of my adult life. have all the books, have read and re-read the same passages over and over again thru-out the years.  as i’m getting older (well i should say... now that i’m Old),  i’m finally getting it, Really getting it, how huge and deep our experience is.  and how much of it we’ve been leaving on the table.  lifetime after lifetime of limited beliefs and ignorance of our true heritage.   its mind boggling, truly mind boggling how ignorant we are of who we are, why we are here, our origins, history, and future.  our unexplored capabilities, our multi-dimensionality, and our worth.  perhaps what blows me away the most is how willing people are to accept rhetoric that doesn’t make sense instead of real answers.  how so very many people live small lives and seem content to trade their personal power for safety and the habitual known.   how many of us seemed locked into these menial existences of just trying to get along.  

my perspective on my own life has expanded tremendously.  i no longer see myself just living a linear life, moving forward in a straight line and nearing its end.  i see more and more of the whole of me... other probable versions of me (thank god!  i’d hate to think that this is All of me).  past lives, future lives;  and sensing the part that This me plays in the overall adventure.  i’m seeing thru layers, in between the officially accepted, and beyond the daily same old.

as i’m coming to more practically understand what seth is saying, it feels like (thru the years) he has laid a truckload of gold nuggets at my feet, and i’m only just now realizing their true value.  with only a relative few seconds left to pick up as many as i can, i feel them full in the palms of my hands and slipping through my fingers as my human-oriented mind can grasp only so many at once.   part of me feels like a barefoot child running around in awe, while another part of me watches with smiles as i connect with more and more of my whole self. 

thank you seth.  and jane and rob.  without you, my world would be a very different place.
