The Path: "Every step has led me to this point."

It's just that we don't necessarily think of there being significance in those moments, so we don't even mention it. And while there's some funniness there, there's also if you think about it, you can frame it as a perspective of beauty that even in the mundane, every step I've made, or every step that was guided by fate or God or the universe or what have you, has led me here

You. I just listened to your swell about the path and I was thinking that it has a lot to do with, I believe, perspective and possibly maturity. And and I mean that by saying this, that a person, depending on their religious beliefs, whether they believe in God or not, depending on their pain, their hurt or whatever, they're going to take a particular path and they're going to see their process on that path based upon their perspective

And there's significance to that, where I'm looking at twisting my perspective around from forward to backward to down at the toes to up and far out and then how the language affects our thinking and the implications of these thoughts which is going to then differ from someone who does find it's for someone who has framed it in a way that has offers meaning and value

And for someone who say is maybe in their early 20s they might be way mature than someone who is in their vice versa. So what I meant by that is that basically there's something about maturity that will give you perspective or clarity in perspective about a path or about the path that you might be on or that someone might be on. And again, this is all about perspective because everybody gets to decide about the steps they take and what choice they make in terms of a path

Because just doing what you've always done gets you to a point where you look back and you're like, why do these things keep happening? So, again, I think maturity comes into that, the desire to want to know better and do better and have a better outcome. But it is very interesting because it is true whether you're brushing your teeth or whether you're at the bank, of course, every step took you to that place

Pause, pause, pause, pause, pause, pause, pause, pause before you make this into a thing, something positive, into something that's not positive or a significant thing in a non positive way. When it is positive in a significant way. You see how that just kind of became like a mind f*** in a sense? And I said, JL, today is day one of your cycle. You are all over the place emotionally

But from a spiritual perspective we're exactly where we intended to be, where we wanted to be, where we were meant to be. We chose the path and walked exactly the way we were supposed to be. We're here because a soul commanded us to have these experiences and we've attracted and manifested these experiences from what exists out there as a quantum world of possibilities. We've handpicked and chosen and we've exactly been taken where we were meant to go

For what it's worth, from your perspective, if each step is important to you and is worthy of celebrating, then celebrate them. Celebrate each step, no matter how small, how big. I think you're so right. It's important if others see it or don't see it as we do. That's not really what it's all about, right?

Ender. I am so sorry. I have tried multiple ways to consume what you've offered here, and it seems like you've done it with great thought and consideration, intentionality and expressed creativity. But unfortunately, I can't process it the way that my brain is wired. The sounds compete and instead of understanding your words, it's like I'm hearing a distortion. And yeah, that in addition to the way that my brain processes. Anyway, it's simply too much

It's a whole thing. And I've always found peace there. Right now, what am I doing right now? Not to mention I had to make sure I was there because I was having panic attacks after the explosion, and I had to name things around me to get me back where I was at. I don't see the path being any different. I'll be walking down the path, and I guess I've named things around me

Because then there's this additional meaning of a right turn versus a wrong turn and what does that mean and how do I fix that? And because it becomes about fixing and how do I meet some unknown greater meaning or purpose, then it eliminates to me the freedom and beauty found in being present in that moment. And that could just be for me, right? Because obviously that's not how everybody else works or sees it
