Message from the Mountain - Chuck Gallagher - Bog

At times in life, there are chance happenings that, when reflected upon, are revealed to be turning points - times when life changes and what we know, or what we think we know, is substantially altered. The words that follow are the simple expression of one of those times for me - a time that lasted for two years - a time of substantial spiritual growth. Message from the Mountain is inspired writing that seemingly came from nowhere and yet was the foundation for a profound Spiritual awakening - opening my eyes and others to our Life's Purpose. All is not as it seems! "Who are you?" The old woman from the mountain asked this simple question with a forceful kindness, as if summoning something that would come from deep within. Before I could answer audibly, I felt the answer that I did not wish to speak: "I do not know." I dare not say that, I thought as I tried to formulate my answer in my head. Surely I could define myself with... "That's correct. You do not know. Very good." "It's time to wake up from your mind sleep." As I heard the words ring clear from the old woman from the mountain, I felt refreshed as if I had been resting for hours. Yet, as I observed all that was around me, I came to understand that my time on the rock had been only minutes - perhaps thirty at most. The sun was moving west into mid-afternoon, and the breeze that had caressed my cheeks so gently just hours earlier began to increase in intensity as if to signal something new was blowing into my life. My 'mind sleep....' Her last words replayed again in my head. I wanted to shake my head, as her words seemed to create a sense of imbalance within me. Their meaning may not be as clear as I first hear them, I thought. "You are right," she uttered. "My words have a deeper meaning for you." Her voice came from nowhere. Not once had I spoken a word of my thoughts. "You will learn. Thoughts do not have to be spoken to have power. Your thoughts, whether spoken or not, have tremendous power. I will guide you based upon the truth of your thoughts." Message from the Mountain carries all who read on a journey of inner discovery into Awakening to Your Life's Purpose. Join me and let's take this magical journey together!
