When ever we have a goal that is important to accomplish, we have to go beyond ourselves to find the inner resources we need to do it. Our greatest obstacle becomes what we have to go beyond.
In that beyond state of being we find the Wisdom of the Body and powerful inner resources we need to accomplish that goal. Our greatest challenge is going beyond who we were taught to be.
But to accomplish anything of value; that is our greatest challenge and that is the hardest lesson to learn.
Working with people with life threatening illnesses taught me that there is nothing more important than your life, not even who you think you are. Their struggle forced them to go beyond their superficial self and tap an inner wisdom that helped them in their struggle.
If they were not able to transcend to that depth, their illness defeated them. If life was more important than their conditioned self, they went deep and tapped an inner wisdom that helped them defeat their illness.
I think that inner wisdom is needed to accomplish any goal we face and the same issues apply. If we are unable to go beyond ourselves, our struggle will most probably defeat us. I work with the Junior Blind; helping teenagers go beyond the idea of being Blind so they can go to school and find work.
The easiest tendency of any person when they face a struggle is to be blocked by their own mind. A Blind Person can easily fall into that trap and the Wisdom of their Body is there for them also. But like most people their conditioned habits keep them on the surface and they are unable to tap that deeper inner wisdom.
Think of a deep sea-diver wearing a life preserver as he tried to dive for pearls on the bottom of the ocean. That life preserver is like those old habits that keep you from diving deep. Going beyond your conditioned self is like taking the life preserver off and connecting to your inner wisdom.
It doesn’t matter if you are fighting a life threatening illness or you are preparing for school; the Wisdom of your Body is an amazing tool for you to accomplish your goal.
