Whether we realize it or not high energy drives us.  When we are passionate about something we are drawn into action.  When we notice this or feel this it is an indication of something.  Now I can be compelled or feel the urge to share love with someone or to tell them exactly what I think about them–it goes both ways. The important thing for me is to notice how it wakes me up. That when I experience something at such a high energy level it is like my body’s ways of saying–wake up sweetheart, this is something for you to learn from.  It is when I judge it as being right or wrong that I lose touch with the purpose of that emotion or high intensity.  When I “should” on myself and push it down I lose the lesson as well.  I believe that when we are compelled by a person or a situation, when we are reacting to it, it is important to stop and take notice.  It indicates that we are alive and are experiencing something.  During the darkest times of my life I was deadened. I had little reaction to anything, even now I sometimes have a delayed reaction to things.  That is okay, as long as I pay attention when I experience the reaction.  How I am reacting is an indication of where my thought process is.  It is not because of what is happening.  It is my thinking about the situation.  Whatever is going on is neither good nor bad, I attach a specific meaning to it.  And because my ego may be heavily involved, I attach meaning about me to the situation.  Again, neither good nor bad, just something to notice. The beauty of our thoughts is that they just keep coming, one right after another.  It is the ones that I attach to that will further my growth because they provide an opportunity to go deeper–to connect with myself and with God.  I am passionate about growing closer and closer to God–it sounds lovely doesn’t it?  But it is not some angelic or sainthood application, it is a desire to release all those things I am carrying mentally, physically, and emotionally that keep me separate from my true nature–who I am in God.  It is work, sometimes, but I have found it to be the most freeing.  I think that is what we are all here to do.  I think our souls/spirits-whatever you choose to call them are compelled to walk this journey.  I think that when we arrive here, out of our mother’s womb, there is a part of our spirit/soul that long to connect with the divine because it is who we are.  St. Augustine said it best when he said that “Lord, our hearts are restless until they rest in You.”  So why is it work?  Well, because in our human experience we take on meaning based on events and circumstances. This creates our programming, an  overlying blueprint, and we then go forward and react to life based on that overlying blueprint that was set in the first 6-7 years of our life (scientists have studied our brains and shown us this).  When we get to the age of reason (7), we are able to begin to question and then the game begins.  My prayer for you today is that you allow the part of you that is compelled to connect with God run free (even if for just five minutes), seek and you shall find and maybe you’ll have some fun in this game of life.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
