My Pilgramige

I just figured out, this is my Pilgramige! Some people go to Jerusaleum, others to the Pyrenes, me - I get cancer and go to the Cleveland Clinic! This is the way I need to experience it, for whatever reason, so that's good. This experience is bringing me closer to God and after all that's the entire purpose for any of us to exist - to merge back into the Divine within us, thereby becoming one with God. There's no higher purpose to aspire to than that, so once again I'm shown what a precious gift this is. I am so grateful for all of you helping me to recognize this. It's ironic, when I was first diagnosed with breast cancer in May of 2009, I believed without a doubt that I would be dead in June of 2010 because both of my parents died 11 months after their diagnosis. I had absolutely no doubt about this, which is why I went to stay at the Sivananda Yoga Center in San Francisco with Swami Padma last fall. The spiritual discipline I received there pulled me out of that belief and Swami Padma is the one who introduced me to Theta Healing which has continued my journey away from the old beliefs. Here comes the ironic part - now when the situation is much graver and the doctors at home were ready to give up on me, I had transcended those beliefs enough to say, I'm not going to just sit back and accept your prognosis - I'm going for it! Let's face it, not one of us knows how long we have, all we really have is this very minute, so savor it for all it's worth and don't give a thought to a minute, an hour, a week or whatever from now because none of that exists at this point in time! I'm amazed I've been able to stay pretty focused in the moment, which is incredible, because I feel good, things are going great, in this moment I have no problems so there's no reason for me to be upset or feel anything negative under those conditions! Pretty awesome isn't it! I can't tell you how hard I've tried to experience this over the years by what would seem to be easier means, but I couldn't get there, I neded this experience to take me there. Once again we're back to the precious gift - you just never know what the most significant events in our lives will be. Well, on that note I'm going to sign off and zip back to my apartment building before it starts raining again!
