The Tipping Point In Life – My Spiritual Adventure

Have you reached the Tipping Point in your life? I sure have and now I’m on a spiritual adventure. I’m a little nervous, so will you join me? What Is the Tipping Point? You might wonder what the Tipping Point is. I’m not talking about Malcolm Gladwell’s book The Tipping Point which talks about reaching a critical mass, a threshold or boiling point. Also, how little things can make a big difference. That’s not what I’m talking about. The Tipping Point I’m talking about has to do with reaching a certain age where instead of looking forward, you start looking back to examine your life. As I was growing up, I always wondered what I’d be like when I was older and all grown up. I’m not sure I’m really grown up, not that I’m Peter Pan, but I might be Tinkerbell. But when you are young, you spend time thinking about how your future will unfold. Who will you be? What will you achieve? Where will you live? At this point, I’m not looking at my life that way any more and I’m not wondering what I will become. This is it – I’ve already become whatever I’m going to be. I’ve already arrived. I’m here, so now what? This is the Tipping Point and it’s been gong on for several years and right now I don’t know where I’m going. Forging My Own Path I’ve forged my own path in life, especially in my career, so even if I didn’t have a mapped out route, I did have a destination though. I was headed somewhere and I created my own path which does have some adventure. This is different. Now I have no destination and no path. Take the podcast for example. Two years ago I didn’t know where I was going with it, but I had a focus of creating content. I’m letting you in on what’s happening right now in my life and asking you to join me. Please consider this your invitation to go along for the ride. Maybe this is about becoming a human being vs. a human doing. Instead of running around doing a million things which is masculine energy, I’m learning how to just be which is more divine feminine. To enjoy what is such as going outside in the sunshine. Or being in nature and listening to the birds chirp. It’s like that phrase “Be here now.” It would be an accomplishment I guess, so that’s one way to look at it. Yet, it’s still a bit disquieting to not have a goal. Merlin Suggests a Spiritual Adventure Currently I’m taking a Celtic Shamanism course with Jane Burns and her journeys have been really good. This morning I did one imagining getting into a round boat and allowing the sea and wind to take you to land that has a message for you. This is about trust because you cannot direct the boat in any way. You have to go with whatever happens. I followed the instructions, found land, walked into the island past the tall grasses and into a forest. There in a grove of trees, I saw Merlin who is one of my guides. He said one word to me, “Adventure.” My first reaction was, “Oh no!” I’m not big on adventure. But there was more. He also said, “The point of adventure is that it is unknown. There’s no plan, no map, no guidelines, and no destination. You will see what happens as you go…just go.” Surrender Dorothy
