For those who are following this "path with a heart" .....How did you get here? What made you seek something other than to graduate from school, find a "good job" or fame or fortune, marry, reproduce, work work work, retire, and die surrounded by grandchildren? Not saying there's anything wrong with any one of these activities or that you can't have both ...some say you can, some say you can't, but that's not the point. The question is about what made you seek something OTHER than these activities.
Some say they were content, or not content but living ordinary lives, when something stopped their world/happened to them which completely shifted them onto a different path.
As far as I know, nothing like that ever happened to me ....I think I have been on this path pretty much since birth ....Not that I had any real clue where I was going or how I would get there, but I have memories from when I was an infant of being visited and taught by others who were clearly not from this 3d realm. I don't remember what they taught me. I remember they would show me pictures in a book. Sometimes they would appear as little flames along the place where my bedroom walls met the ceiling -- friendly little flames that never burned anything. I would wait for them to appear each night after I was sent to bed. But it seems that from the very beginning I wanted nothing whatsoever to do with the path everyone else around me was taking.
What about you?
