Forward - Part Two
The cycles in my adult life up to that point in time began with deep study, prayer and spiritual learning. That would immediately be followed by a request and opportunity to spend the next few years teaching what I had learned in solitude.
These cycles became predictable. So somehow I knew that the period of pain and struggle would also be a time of intense learning and insight followed by an equally intense period of teaching.
I didn't know to whom I would be teaching the lessons I would learn. At the time I didn't comprehend the purpose of what was about to occur and I had now clue how drastically my life would change and evolve.
Maybe when our ordinary lives start to disintegrate, without knowing it, we begin a hero's journey.
I didn't have a clue about how long, deep and intensely painful the period would be. The first few years I remember thinking this was the time I had been forewarned about; it would end and everything would be right in my world again.
But it went on for so long, one year I somehow lost the vision of the entire picture. Then I just wanted out; I pleaded to get out.
