I experienced a moment last weekend when I had a specific sense.
I felt that my accumulated bag of experiences was talking, directly, to my current life. Do I sound like a poet? I hope so.
I noticed a conversation between excruciating lessons learned from my professional history talking to my life now. The pain lessons I learned at work, all the learning from my previous relationships, all of the sessions talking to a counselor, all of it plays a part in the current moment. Sometimes, I literally watch it happen. Like you learned this
at
that time.
And this at this time, and NOW you see how these learnings come together. It has its own specific form of gratification, onward where you feel what you have learned coming out drip by drip in the present moment. It is intensely gratifying and something I know comes as a gift of time and experience. You earned that painful thing a while ago because you slogged through it. Now you get to experience it as that emotion is passing you by. You didn´t even try to do that. This time, you don´t enter the emotion as you have already crawled inside that hole before.
