“I still get upset, still compare and judge. But this all happens less frequently now and when it does, I’m able to manage it all more effectively and get over it faster. Progress!”
It sounds like you and I are on very similar paths, Amanda. I’m going to look for this film, thank you!
I’ve always been in the sceptical camp regarding anything spiritual or religious but, in a world that seems to move forward as fast as it is, I think we’re forgetting what it is to be human. That’s my interpretation of spirituality - remembering who and what we are and propagating meaningful connections to people, places and things. I’m now becoming increasingly wary of scientific advancement and the rate at which these connections are being lost.
My most visual, tangible example is the way things are so heavily simplified. Phone boxes, trains, bollards, state-owned buildings, logos - used to be works of art and are now stripped of every aesthetic in favour of affordability and convenience. Even in this, I sense a rising spirituality, a craving for something deeper, something with a story to tell or an insight into an exceptional mind. A bit left-field I know but that’s my view on things.
I like your mindful approach. I've been on such a journey for the last 55 years. Big on Beginner's Mind. This year I finally read The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer and found it quite helpful in some of the things I'm working on.. Bless you for jumping off the cliff, Amanda. You are doing a good thing.
The whole ‘who am I’ thing can go on for a long time, and I suppose it really gets down to this essence of this journey. Michael Singer does an amazing job of going into this, if you’re familiar with his work? I’d highly recommend The Untethered Soul.
I love this so so much! I apologize if you’ve already recommended these elsewhere as I’ve just found you. I love David Hawkins’ work — Power vs Force and Letting Go are both interesting. I finally read Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now which is of course a timeless classic :) Anatomy of the Spirit by Caroline Myss was one of the first books I read on my journey that felt like it transformed the way I thought, so also love that one. There are just so many great ones out there! 🥰
Thanks for this great film recommendation and for sharing this understanding. I am becoming more and more drawn towards these spiritual messages. Grateful for your insights.
Such a great discussion here Amanda with some wonderful recommendations. I feel like every comment I leave for you goes something like, “yes! my experience is so similar!” And that’s absolutely the truth here as well. I hadn’t heard of the movie and will look it up. So wonderful to have as a companion on this path (whatever it is and wherever we’re going😆😊).
I love how more great teachers are saying evolution, growth or awakening is not a place we have to ‘get to.’ We’re already here… if only my Monkeys of Fear 🙊🙉🙈 would trust and remember that! My Heart and Soul know what’s up… 🙏🏽 Thanks for the recommendation

I use my upsets as pointers to where I need to soften and open

Good read. Thanks. I like how you introduced a film you liked and expounded on it. Sounds like we share a spiritual life.

It’s a great film. Their new series Divine Science is fascinating as well
Love this, Amanda. It’s wild - all this. Just wild.
