I transcribed the Affirmative Thought below-titled
Confusion Into Clarity late last week. which reminds
us all that confusion is a natural part of the solution
process - and from this confusion comes clarity.
Honestly, my confusion started with how to best
approach writing Chapter 12 of Finding God
On The Train Story which manifested itself
in four different approaches. The confusion
evolved into what I would call "turmoil" about
the whole project - with me questioning
whether I have lost the direction, or
passion needed to go on.
These bouts are not new for me, and begin,
usually, when I find the "still small whispered
voice" very silent for a period of time - periods
of draught, as I call them. After a long period
of prayer and meditation last week, I received
the Meditation Guidance below titled Storm
Of The Soul.
As a result, I am back on track, listening, and
working through my malaise. Of course, I would
like to pretend that I am above this sort of thing,
but it would not be true or realistic.
I have paired these two messages because
they are related, seeming to address
a similar root solution - listening to our own
inner, guidance for direction. They also
underscore the importance of confusion
and turmoil in our evolving and growing.
CONFUSION INTO CLARITY
Often we must enter into confusion
in order to find clarity – experiencing
the conflicting thoughts and emotions –
sifting through the endless fears
and doubts – wishing for light as
we knock about in the darkness.
Often in the confusion, we must make
our home for a while, knowing within
the cyclone - all potential approaches
can be considered – all alternatives
presented – all futures tried on
for size and evaluation – all emotions
aired and given attention.
Often in the confusion we are
strengthened – we awake again
to what is of value to our existence,
wipe our tears, find our clarity,
then forge on toward our renewal.

STORM OF THE SOUL
Listen to the turmoil – hear what it has to say
to you – understand its messages – decipher its
intent for it is a living thing waiting to be heard,
waiting for its turn, waiting for its ascension –
its anointing with the oil of your focus.
Listen to the turmoil – go within the mental
confusion, feel the cyclone of emotions and
desires swirl around and into your awareness.
This is a storm of the soul and it must be
experienced; assimilated, fully lived in order
to proceed on. Let it rage – accept its commotion
as a sign of deliverance, as a new beginning
forming in chaos.
Listen to the turmoil within – let it have its way
with you – let the ground of your consciousness
shake until it cracks, severs, and lets go of its
creation within – bursting forth a new vision –
a new thought – a new way of living and proceeding.
Listen to the turmoil within and it will make you
whole - complete – evolving your consciousness
to a clarity of being – a return to wholeness,
oneness, and tranquility.
