Lesson 6 - The Natural Process Of Renewal.

Over 400 years ago William Shakespeare recognized and shared
many great secrets to living a rich and happy life. These same
secrets ring as true today as they did when Queen Elizabeth reigned
over the American Colonies.

At a recent production of "Romeo and Juliet" we were treated
to an extra measure of Universal Truths through the character
of the Friar in conversation with Romeo.

Romeo was dwelling on his misfortunes, focusing on his loss
rather than his gain. As punishment for killing a man, Romeo, was
banished from Verona. The Friar forcefully reminded him that he
could easily have been sentenced to death. The Friar reminded
Romeo to be patient and soon Juliet would be by his side. Romeo
had ever so much to be thankful for. His banishment was really
a blessing.

We all reach points in our lives when we feel all is lost. Nothing
seems to go right. Even our greatest successes will sometimes
vanish into thin air. This is especially difficult after we
believe we have attained a healthy degree of enlightenment and
spirituality, but of course, there's always more growing to do.

What we're really experiencing is the Natural Process of Renewal.

Many refer to this phenomenon as chemicalization. It feels like
endless storms, forest fires, floods, the heavy darkness just
before dawn - all natural occurrences that signal dramatic change.
It serves to clear out the old deadwood and revive the new and
fresh. It provides the preparation time for the great things to
come, like rainbows and new plants.

Major change requires major revision. A reordering of habits,
ideas, priorities, maybe even a major shift in values. In order
for a seed to grow, it needs sunshine and food but also rain.
Rain often comes to our world in a storm.

These times of chemicalization need to be welcomed. They will pass
in time and you can be assured that eventually the clouds will
part and the sun will shine again.

The most important thing you can do when the storms come is to
remember to be grateful for what you do have. Just as the Friar
reminded Romeo of all his blessings, you need to remember all you
have that is good. Especially during a storm. Thank the Universe
for being allowed to grow and change and welcome the shifts that
come.


For in time the Lord of Wealth will visit you. It's a sure thing.
