Destinations © Darryl Williams It is my hope that the destinations that you have all had to visit on your spiritual journey have allowed you to gain more wisdom. I also hope that you were able to see aspects of your humanity that will no longer be barriers in your life. I want to speak to you today about the never-ending lessons that life brings that will mark all of our lives. These life lessons are a topic that I have become very familiar with over the last several years. I also commonly refer to these life lessons as destinations. Now, those of us that have started on our spiritual journey and road to self discovery know what I am talking about. I was not always at a place in my life were I was able to recognize, absorb and implement the life lessons or destinations that I have encountered on my spiritual journey. There were crucial stages that I had to master on my spiritual journey over the years. The culmination of all of these different stages has allowed me to get to a place where I am able to get everything that I needed from all of my destinations. The most important and first stage for me was making the decision that my spiritual health was just as important to me as my physical health. Once I did this, I began to face lots of challenges and adversities in my life. In other words, in this early part of my spiritual journey I had many destinations. In time I was able to realize that my destinations were not about the circumstances that I encountered. It was about the wisdom and knowledge that I was able to gain from those destinations. This is very important because the life lessons contained in my destinations was Gods way of preparing me for all the important things that he had for me to do and that would define my life. I know now that my early destinations were Gods way of grooming and preparing me for my life’s work and blessings. Prior to this I was not remotely prepared for the things that God had in store for me. It is a process that continues today and I am very thankful to be in this constant state of learning. The adverse situations, circumstances, and people that I have encountered on my destinations have allowed me to build my integrity, character, and morals. Mastering all of these aspects of my humanity was crucial as I began to fulfill the things that God had in store for me. These aspects of our humanity are monumental to those of us who are committed to and grounded in our spiritual health. If we do not productively deal with integrity, character, and morals then the things that God has in store for all of us to do may not get done because we have not laid down a sturdy foundation. Another important stage in my life at that time was the realization that God was responsible for every destination that I had ever or will ever be at. It was this foundation knowledge that allowed me to recognize my destinations. This led to me being able to absorb the life lesson in all my destinations. The next stage and the one that today still proves to be quite a challenging for me is being able to consistently implement my destinations/life lessons into my everyday life. I can tell you all however that with practice and time the difficulty does diminish. I am very thankful for many blessings in my life. One of the never-ending blessings that I am most thankful for is the blessing of destinations. I wish you all many destinations until next time. Peace and Soul Darryl Williams

Welcome to Earth.

Choose your addiction, your affliction, because perfection…is fiction
delusional wishing,
to be free of our grasping and tender humanity.
The intensity of anxiety that can accompany uncertainty
may lure us endlessly into perceived solutions for the lack of ground.
Something to get, to attain, to consume.
Something to crave, grasp for.
But there’s never going to be ground. There’s never going to be a destination to relax at.

Relaxation comes when we cease to chase the experience that will obliterate this one. 

Our addictions, whether debilitating substances, social media, spinning thoughts or endless bickering.
Shopping or sex or work or exhilaration or drama.
They all begin with a sensation.
As that sensation rises in our bodies, maybe as a flutter or an ache, maybe like a shutter or a sickness.
Maybe so subtle we don’t even know it’s there before we’re reaching for our vice.

But it’s not the vice that we crave. It’s the relief from the arising sensation.

It’s the escape from the direct experience.
As that sensation rises, so does the impulse to move from here to there.
From this place to that one.
From a painful state to another state.
A state of freedom, bliss, relaxation, wonder, excitement, familiarity, release.
Our addictions keep us all wrapped up, entangled in the illusion of release.
Where we may truly find release is right here, face to face with what’s happening…
The discomfort of the pain or boredom or anxiety.
If we can catch those moments, become so deeply intimate with and compassionate towards our own inner experience
before that sensation propels us into motion towards self-soothing,
we may truly be soothed by staying.
Because the experience will arise and it will pass.
Freedom is found in staying.
Freedom is found in being intimately loving and compassionate with what’s arising within our experience.

Love,
Chela
