Coaches

I don't have anything as formal as a personal life coach, but I am clear that I need to seek advice and inspiration from sources outside myself. I read somewhere that coaches can come in various forms. They could be people I meet along the path... or they could be people I never meet... books I read, inspirational quotes that cross my path at opportune times. I am finding that coaches come in a variety of guises and it is exciting to see how they all start to point in the same direction. Many of the books I read are beginning to say the same things but in a slightly different way. And it is eye-opening and excitiing and scarey at the same time. It all makes sense at a very deep level and yet some of the stuff challenges widely held cultural beliefs that we have held for many years. Are we on the edge of a new humanity? Are we shifting to something else? Is our world being called to radically alter itself in order to avoid catastrophe? And who has the power to create that transformation? Ultimately we do... and yet if we stay stuck in our smallness... we will achieve nothing. So, it is for us to let go of the smallness, of all that separates us from God, from self, from others and from creation. Anything that serves to divide us is clearly not creating the future... just keeping the past stuck and perpetuating more of the same. For anything new to occur, we must be open to having our minds, our hearts, our spirits openned to possibilities that we would never have considered before...
