TURNING YOUR WAGON
Whether you’re hitched to a star, stuck in a ditch, plodding along behind mules, or being pulled by matched stallions, when you find that your Wagon is headed the wrong direction, what actions are required to Turn?
We will assume that you have seen, felt and confirmed, with all clarity, that the path you’re currently following is ready to be exchanged for another—and will not remind you of those tools. We will remind you that no path is wasted if you will take the time to understand its journey and see yourself for who you are and what you do and achieve while on the path. In addition to Self, however, you might have tethered to your Life, assets, and interests, a Wagon containing the Life, assets, and interests of others.
This Wagon is of what we speak. When you have seen clearly that a Turning should be done—that you should change your current path and begin another—you must also negotiate that Turning for those who are in your Wagon. Let us say that you are a steward, a head of household, a business leader, or leader in your community: your Wagon is peopled by those whom are influenced and affected by you and your choices.
Have you said to yourself: “I would like to work at a more fulfilling job, but my family (the persons in my Wagon) depend on me for the steady income and benefits of the job I currently hold—and my Beliefs tell me that switching paths is without guarantee, and may negatively impact those whom depend on me.”? What if your High Self is guiding you to move onward to something different, to take a leap of faith? How does one do that, in the face of these external, mortal responsibilities?
Karma is a tricky thing, as tricky as the human mind. How do you believe in Karma? How do you believe that Karma believes in you? We assure you, that however you believe in Karma, believe that the people in your Wagon are part of your Karma, and that you are part of their own. Believe that you are here with your karmic group to work together. That said, any time the Wagon needs Turning, communication is key.
Shadows occur where light is cast around obstruction. What is the obstruction? The obstruction is something that is currently so dense, light does not move through it. If you see shadow monsters before you, sometimes it is merely a condition of density—that requires the condition of light and lightening in order to be erased. Simply said: unspoken, some problems become large shadow monsters, while in communication and with light and lightening, some problems become very clear, erasing all shadows.
Therefore, Turning Your Wagon, is a matter of communication: first, with your High Self. Next, where appropriate, communicate in ways that help you to clearly see what Turning Your Wagon from this path to the next path requires. Once that is determined, speak with those—as appropriate—in your Wagon. Of course, as a parent, caretaker, overseer, or steward, you may not speak to those in your Wagon, but instead, consider them and their interests with the greatest responsibility and from the perspective of benevolence and grace.
We sometimes believe that our Wagon can’t be Turned or shouldn’t be Turned; that the ruts made are too deep, especially when the same line has been traveled many times before us. We often believe in Tradition in such ways, when it is sometimes no more than ruts, repetition, and stagnant thinking. Sometimes, High Self is telling us not only to abandon the path, but to abandon the Wagon altogether, to give that over to another, even temporarily . . .
Some paths grow very narrow, requiring singular travel. What then occurs with our Wagon?
Imagine a long thread leaving a tapestry, looping away from a point where its fiber is pulled out from the whole. It exits and re-enters very close to the same place. It is so with this singular travel. If your path narrows and you must walk it alone for a while, the point at which you re-renter and join again with your Wagon will seem long for you and brief for those others, provided there is no abandonment, but responsible re-assignment.
For these singular journeys are interior and complex.
Illness and disability are such times and conditions.
If there was proper communication, you might find someone new at the head of the Wagon. You might find that the persons in the Wagon have moved around. You might find, through proper communication, and by leading through doing and being, that you have inspired others, and that several more have taken a singular path. If you are a leader, teacher, guide, or caretaker, this will always be true . . .
You might come back to the same path, and be changed, and lead that Wagon differently. Your Wagon may contain a body of others that will be ever-changing in this lifetime; part of your karma in a distinct way. Some Wagons are more complex than others, some heavier.
Let us say that you are at a crossroads. Will you Turn Your Wagon left or right? Will you Turn and go back to the road you just passed, that was calling out as you went by? At the very least, look at your travel. If you travel in a Wagon, take its inventory—see if its wheels go forward in the ruts of past travelers.
Turning Your Wagon is not only Turning Your Life. Whether singular or group-inspired, what you do, now, today, every day, affects others and their Turning. Your Turning. Our Turning. The Turning Eternal of Great All.
Blessed Be This Day
