Surrender

 It's hard to know what all Jim is and may be learning on this journey. Without a doubt, there is a rebooting and reloading of learned information processed over these many years. That in itself is a mind-boggling amount of information that the brain has to come up with. There is the repair and regeneration of parts needed so the legs receive the signals they are supposed to, and the muscles fire to allow his hand to hold the dinner fork or the electric razor. The body knows what it has to do. We just need to supply the right opportunities, best guidance, necessary medical legs up, and the faith to know it will all come together.

What he's learning in other realms... at the same time the body is making repairs... is a really intriguing thought. The places where spirit talks with spirit. and energy is a fact. Not some mystical hoodoo voodoo that is man-made or found in a prescription. The elements that exist in all of us and tie us to the Creator, the Source. This place can't be silent while the body is resting and repairing. Energy is a constant. It's the life force that surges and expands as we grow, so there must be amazing conversation and teaching going on. Will he be more enlightened when his body awakens from this? Perhaps there will be a better understanding as to why bad things happen to good people, or if that even matters. Maybe there will be such a heightened awareness and gratitude, that how he got to that point is nothing more than a blip on the important scale.

I know there are times when he will mention a dream he had, or he has some thoughts that seem displaced. But after talking for a moment, we can see how it could have some importance or perhaps he is problem solving. The mind and spirit continue even into sleep to work things out, to find a solution, or temper a frustration.

Considering some of the things he has talked about regularly... especially after naps or a long night sleep... it has made me wonder about those conversations. I believe he is being consoled, encouraged and loved by family whose address is heaven. I believe there are angels specialized in healing and comfort who are busy mending and supporting his body and mind. I believe the entire process also calls for surrender. From him. And, from me. Old habits, die hard, and trying to control situations is really a detour we all take...every day. So when there is fear, or concern for any reason, instead of escalating to a state that is unreasonable or unproductive... step back. Surrender. Get out of your own way.
