Divinity Rising: Greatest Show in the World

All Part of the Show:

The Descent after Ascent

Last week, I spoke of settling back into me after floating around the last couple years. Remember, as you encounter new things and seek to process them: it's all part of the journey: all part of the show.

A spiritual journey through life is like being in a theater. You sit in the audience watching the players on the stage. You enjoy the show, watching it time and time again. Every time you watch it, something new speaks to you or stands out. You start to hear things that call to you.  However, eventually you become bored with the same old show. You start to dream of being one of the players on the stage and what it would be like. You get bored with dreaming and become restless. Some things in the show start to give you the idea that there might be more. Your eyes begin to wander around the room, and you see a curtain you never noticed before. You walk over and pull it to the side, revealing a staircase. You look around the theater, which is all you've ever known. You look at the players on the stage going on with their show. You take a deep breath and leave, following the staircase upward.

You arrive on another level of the theater. On this enclosed balcony, the show looks quite different. You find new people who are having lots of drinks and discussion. The show goes on below, but the people in the box seats are having their own conversations, talking about the show, forming their own opinions, telling stories, giving their impersonations of characters in the show. You find this intriguing! You no longer sit quietly in an audience. You get to discuss your ideas about the show, and all the thoughts you've had as you've watched the show so many times come pouring out. You find that you are not alone! Others have thought or felt the same things!
