Re:
And I think that's what I have to do...give myself permission to just BE. You're so right! When I do do this, I feel like I get more accomplished than intended, but when I make a list almost always something gets left out because the list alone is just a daunting experience. Thanks for your input!

Re: The Truth shall Set You Free
I appreciate this so much. It's such a blessing to be able to gain insight and wisdom from the perspective of others. As I invite others into my world, I hear doors creeking, as they allow me entry into theirs and it's so liberating to know that I'm not alone in my thoughts...in my world. Be blessed and keeping in touch should hopefully keep me IN TOUCH :)

The Truth shall Set You Free
"Can I be someone who writes everyday, cleans on weekends, reads my Bible at 6am every morning, falls asleep at 10pm every night? Or is it okay that I follow my spirit wherever it leads me...allowing myself to be motivated by the suttle thrust of inspiration? I believe that that's what many of us lack in this hour...inspiration. The sheer drive that comes from the stream of creativity and uniqueness that we've been endowed with by our Creator. "
I am in exactly the same place. And since I have 'let go' of any routine, I have been much happier and creative.
We are free spirits: confinement of ANY kind turns me off.
Having said that, I have found in my case that there are a certain number of things which I recognize as necessary and which I try to adhere to...but in a relaxed way...going with the flow. In short I do the things I need to do but in my own time (which is changeable).
The most important thing for myself is Meditation, and Prayer (which is a different thing).
That I meditate each day is vital for it is from here that I go deeper and deeper into my reality and most times reach a place where I am truly free - that is detached from anxiety etc. - then I can come back to my heavier Earthbound reality and live it dancing and at peace.
While Prayer is different to Meditation, I almost always find as I go deeper, the inspirational place from where prayer and poetry springs. With flexibility I now find that I start with breathing, then the Lord's Prayer, the private prayer, then Meditation practice and then....at times...reach a point where Meditation spontaneously invites me to prayers of praise and joy. But nothing is fixed.
Sometimes I sit down. I start meditating. After a while i get to the quiet place and then switch to prayer (although in meditation you are supposed to come back to your mantra for the time set, no matter what).
Again - I am very free and adapt. I am also fortunate to be retired and have enough free time not to be so strictly regulated.
I am also practicing the Spiritual Law of Least Effort. This is very interesting, and from what you said in your musings, it occurs to me this particular exercise would be of great import for you.
I recommend you get the audio-CD or book called The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra MD.
it would be nice to keep in touch with you as we seem to be so much on the same page in the inner life.
Most of my writing is in Poetry. My Blog is Spiritual Poetry, my pen name is Raphael, and my real name is Jonathan.

I find that if I take it easy on myself, and allow a day to do whatever i want, suddenly i find inspiration everywhere...
