Reality Check for Snooze180
Healthy, wealthy and wise, you are, more than you realize, certainly more than shows on the surface. It is as if all that has gone underground, waiting to be manifest. Learning didn’t stop when you got out of school. So, you put out more effort than you get immediate returns, but that could turn around the other way at any time, especially if you speak up and ask for more. As soon as you figure out what it is you need, make your needs known. Not speaking up works against you. A lot of your limitations now, in the material/financial/physical sense, are self-imposed. Think things through, do research if necessary, get facts, communicate, and then watch what develops.
You have an ideal intimate relationship. I mean you have a vision of the ideal partnership, one of equality, shared goals, shared responsibilities, shared growth. You just haven’t quite got the knack yet of manifesting it, and your spiritual seeking or the spiritual or religious concepts you currently are questioning get in the way of manifesting the relationship you want. That kind of manifestation requires decisiveness, making choices, committing yourself to one course or another. The question isn’t how bad you want it, but which one you want.
You have taken an intellectual approach to spirituality. You have studied it, given it a lot of thought. You understand it as fully and can discuss it as well as anyone can on the intellectual level. Inner peace and emotional harmony, clarity of mind, understanding, are not conducive to further progress and spiritual experience. The thing that will impel your spiritual progress is emotional turmoil, a good shaking up in the heart department.
There is a feedback situation between your spirit and emotions, one that can’t help but bring you interesting developments. The spiritual situation results in unhappy feelings and the unhappiness spurs spiritual growth. Your spirit, knowing what it needs, will keep your emotions in turmoil for a while, until you make your choice and turn it around. My telling you this won’t make it happen. You need to experience some more of that cycle before you really get it.

When I think of the things I was thinking, and the insecurity I was feeling when I read your message before the one that lead me here today
I maybe should be a tad embaressed, and on some level I’m sure I am, but I really can’t help but laugh at myself!!
I had NO idea what you meant when you said you were ” going to give me a Reality Check”! Where I come from, that is spoken in a tone that says, “snap the F out of it!” ….. this is NOT what I’ve read here …
… AT ALL!!
I’m grateful to you for taking the time, and putting out the effort for me …. you are truly an amazing woman.
I’m going to read over again what you’ ve written so as to be sure and see and absorb it all. For now I’ve only read it the once before this writing, but I must say … you certainly seem to have my present chapter on this journey pretty clearly …. amazing
. There was even some wording that you used that may as well have come directly from my own …. heart … ? … mind … ? … soul ……… wow …..
Like I say ….. I’ m gonna do a re-read or two. I’ll be in touch.

@Snooze180 - Hey, thanks for the feedback. I had no idea that “reality check” had such negative connotations for you. Back when you were reading and commenting so much, I figured you had gotten to the reality check page and knew what I meant by that phrase.
Oh, well, it came out okay in the end, didn’t it? Now, do you have any questions?
Sue’s reality check reading is a good one and, knowing her personally, is also bang on.
Something that struck me about her reading is something that I need to heed myself I think. I’d been wondering why I feel so spiritually disconnected and stunted for such a long time. Maybe it’s just that life has been dull and I have become complacent. I’m not sure what to do to shake it up though. Hmmm….
…and don’t ask me why I had to re-sub to you when I’ve been subbed for years!
@soul_survivor - Okay, I won’t ask, but the curiosity might kill me.
