For me, cancer has become a transformational journey!
I came to this realization before I read Caroline Myss’s definition on the Wounded Healer Archetype in her book, Sacred Contracts. Here is the phrase that is most pertinent to my above statement:
The Wounded Healer archetype emerges in your psyche with the demand that you push yourself to a level of inner effort that becomes more a process of transformation than an attempt to heal an illness. If you have successfully completed the initiation, you inevitably experience an exceptional healing, and a path of service seems to be divinely provided shortly after the initiation is complete.
That’s what I was going to write about in Cancer – Crisis and Opportunity, Part 2. Amazingly and unbeknownst to him, my dear friend, Samo, actually encapsulated this about me in his blog, entitled GRRRR! I would like to share his words with you.
First and foremost, Sam is one of my dearest friends,whom I met when I lived in Hawaii. We’ve been friends for over a decade. He was also one of my major lifelines back home while I was in Bali and Singapore last year.
In conjunction with being an invaluable support to me, he is a spiritual healer/reader who, I might add, has been very accurate in his readings for me, even when others have erred. I trust him implicitly.
I do plan, at some point, to fill in background information on some of the statements I made to Samo. As always, I am simultaneously honored and humbled to know that my personal realizations can be thought-provoking as well as helpful to others.
Please click below to read about cancer as a spiritual journey and, contact Samo if you have need or desire for a spiritual healing, counseling, and/or reading. His information is on his blog, “Samo Says”.
Thank you, Samo, I love you.
My good friend, Chairani, sent me this link. Finally, someone is talking about how to combine spiritual mysticism with social/political activism.
Sounds like a match made in heaven.
Click the link below to see what Andrew Harvey has to say about how this is the critical time for us to take back our country our POWER and how we can do it.
I for one am grateful that someone is giving us a plan to combine the spiritual with action, that it’s not enough for us to simply meditate, that we must also do something. And, that we must do it together, for that is where the power comes from – ALL OF US!
Now, that is a very interesting question. I find that particularly so after reading what the Dalai Lama says about humanity.
We are taught to survive, but is that living?
Don’t think we can answer that question until we look at the concept from which our society is built – SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST – Herbert Spencer coined this phrase following Charles Darwin’s work on “natural selection” of the species, stating “let the strongest live and the weakest die”. Although Darwin was referring to those w ho could adapt best to the local environment, “survival of the fittest” came to mean “survival of the most physically fit”.
Now that we are more advanced, it doesn’t seem to mean the most physically fit, but to mean the ones who excel in competition, who supposedly start out with a “silver spoon” in their mouth – family money and connections which means the best education, health care, transportation, etc. With this wealth and these connections, they learn from an early age that they are entitled, that money buys status and power, even the power to sidestep laws that bind the masses.
Inadvertently, this concept has produced a culture of competitiveness carried to extremes – a society based on exclusivity (if one is not seen as one of the fittest), a society built on the belief that we must fight for our survival, so when one is not part of the “fittest”, one is seen as “the other” or those who are the dredges of society and, therefore, not fit to receive the benefits of those who are fit.
It sets us up to fight – something that violence and wars have shown throughout history.
We, in short, don’t know what living means, let alone know how to live. Read the rest of this entry »

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life,” Jobs said. “Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs
When we know who we are and have the courage to be ourselves, regardless of anyone else says or thinks, we are transformed! Read the rest of this entry »
