TRAUMATIC EVENTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO AWAKEN

Traumatic events experienced in life provides an opportunity to awaken spiritually. Usually, the shock of an event creates fear and panic because of the unknown as to how your life will be affected. Serious events, such as a major accident or illness suddenly turns your life into a turmoil that breeds anxiety, fear and depression. The attitude that you develop after an event is critical as to what will manifest further into your life.

My Current Experience

Throughout our daily routine we go about our day business as usual. We become set in our routine unsuspecting that something dramatic will occur altering the course of our lives. Other than my regular disability issues, I had no concern for any other major issues. I went about my life as usual. On August 23rd, 2026, while getting out of the car I discovered I could not walk and d my muscles would not move. At the hospital I learned that I suffered a stroke.

Panic and fear quickly overcame me. Thoughts running wild in my head, such as, will I be an invalid, or a burden to my wife? After initial fear and panic passed, I began to think about all that I have learned from the positive and negative experiences in my life and how my life and attitude changed for the better. Initially I said to myself what is this experience trying to teach me? We often fail to see that every life event has a purpose or a lesson as set forth within your Soul life plan that was determined before your incarnation into this life.

There are specific goals, mission and experiences that are written into your soul plan that must occur in this lifetime. However, how you respond to the situation as a co-creator determines how the event will play out. If you embellish thought and emotions that generate fear, anger and a doom and gloom attitude, you will create a catastrophic outcome, and your life will be very miserable.

For me I saw this as a challenge interrupting the flow of my life compared to what my Spirit Guide led me to believe was forthcoming for me. It was a huge bump in the road that threw me into a state of doubt. However, I realized that this was a test and a lesson as well.

At the hospital I learned some positive information. One, there were no cerebral blood clots, no artery blockages just some narrowing of two. I saw the positive in this. Within two days I was able to move my left arm upwards as muscle movement returned on its own. These first positive steps gave hope leading to my determination to heal and get back to life. In few days the doctor was surprised that the motion in my legs became stronger. This boosted my resolve to work hard at therapy to be healed.

Lessons learned

Lessons learned were many and varied. I learn to trust that these events serve a purpose. That major traumatic events are part of your Soul life plan, and part of its purpose is to awaken one further on the spiritual path of growth. So, often we have the ability to do things automatically and without any thought or consideration as to its value. Being able to walk to the bathroom without depending on the help of another is something to appreciate and be grateful. The appreciation and gratitude for the ability to feed yourself without depending on another. Bathing, grooming and the list goes on. Little things we never have shown or felt appreciation for.

While I am in physical rehabilitation, I am aware of those whose difficulties are far worse than mine. This event has expanded my sense of grateful appreciation for others as well as for the tiny things in life we take for granted. My sense of empathy for others has expanded as well. However, my biggest bonus learned is the comfort of love that expands with family and friends. This event has shown a deepening of the love felt between my wife and I.

The bottom line is that it is easy to fall into the dark pit of negativity during a crisis. With determination look for the positive in the event. There is always a positive as I mentioned early with the no clotting. I know that my grateful and positive mindset is the result of rapid muscles improvement. Two days ago, I could not type with my left hand. It’s a miracle in my book. My hope that this experience can be an example to never give up and to continue appreciating all things big and small as you move forward in overcoming all challenges

FEAR AND DOUBT

Fear and doubt are two big troublemakers that interfere with living our lives as we were meant to be. Often, we go through life paying little to no attention to the consequences of expressing fear and doubt. For many, doubting thoughts and feeling fearful are second nature. For various reasons, it becomes a habit and part of their daily routine, resulting in creating their reality by default.

The causes can be varied and complex. The environment that you were raised in is a contributor. Often, a child is conditioned by a transference of a parent’s negative emotions or thoughts. You asked your parents if you could sign up to play baseball. They say, “Sorry.” Sorry, no, you know that money is always tight, and we cannot afford the registration. You are left not only disappointed, but references to money being tight create a false belief that you are destined to remain poor.

Becoming fearful develops from exposure to events that appear frightening and leave an impression that carries into adulthood. Some fears may seem baseless to others, but being afraid is being afraid. However, the toll taken on your life is not what God intended. Negative emotions are allowed to exist, but we must strive to overcome all obstacles that come our way. The first step is to understand where and how these emotions came into your life. Second is to replace negative thoughts with those that are positive, Affirmations such as I am abundant and prosperous, or I am confident in every way are good replacements/

Doubt

Doubt, much like fear, comes at all stages within your life. Doubtful thoughts that consume your life are detrimental to your quality of life. Perhaps from childhood or time as an adult, you were discouraged by others who implied you were not good enough for a specific sport, task, or lacked certain abilities. Over time, repetition reinforces negative beliefs within your mind. So an opportunity comes around for you to learn to dance, but you like the idea of learning, but oops, you doubt that you are capable, and you said forget it. You missed something that interested you because of past conditioning. You dismissed it without even trying; you allowed the opinions of others to influence you. Words or comments prove nothing; you have to try, go do it, then you will know if it is right for you.

Please understand that you are allowed to fail at some activities; no one is good at everything. Some folks are excellent singers, others like me cannot hold a note, and it’s okay. You are a manifested expression of God, Source, All That Is; you are here to experience life to the fullest. To create your dream life by following your passion. You need no one’s approval to do or be what you desire. You have the gift to co-create your reality. Use it by maintaining loving thoughts about yourself and your life. Create your desire, intend to have with your thoughts and visualize a mental movie in your mind of it playing out in your life.

Who You Are

To succeed, you must accept the truth as to who you are. You are an aspect of God, manifested in physical form to evolve spiritually by experiencing life events in duality. Duality means a life of contrast, opposites, positive and negative, good and evil, and every nuance in between. It is about experiencing lack and limitations, abundance and prosperity. It can also mean experiencing mediocrity. The choice is up to you, as you have the gifts to create as you deem necessary.

Rocks In The Road

You are who you are, you have the gifts, but you will face rocks in the road of life. You were veiled to the truth of who you are upon entering life. You were given an Ego identity that feeds on fear and doubt. You are conditioned in beliefs from birth, and you have been fed false information since those who took power and control over the masses. All these rocks and boulders are in your way. But, awakening, accepting your divinity is your key to liberation. There is nothing to fear, as fear is simply false beliefs instilled in humanity for eons. By virtue of accepting who you are, nothing can hurt or control you. You are in charge.

To change your life, to eliminate fear and doubt, requires a desire for your life to be different, to be all that it can be. Develop a passion and work it, never give up, and remember who you are and where you come from.
