impulse that has been breathed into every human at birth. The exercise of this creative
impulse delivers vibrant life and purpose.
Throughout our lives, we were all, at one time or another, guided, or misguided, into
something that "was for our own good." But, the information usually comes from another
human who, at one time or another, was guided to do something "for their own good."
All of these "goods" add up to the collapse and frustration of the soul.
I remember that throughout my time in high school and college, I was chastised for
daydreaming and goofing off. I never did anything to hurt anyone, I just didn't pay
attention. I already knew the answers, for some strange reason, and was bored. I tested
well and graduated with high scores in mathematics, computer science, and electronics
technology. As soon as I graduated, I began writing books for various publishers. But,
my elders told me that I needed to "earn a livelihood before I can play."
Years went by and I was utterly miserable. I didn't know why, because I had it all and
was doing well. Heck, everyone else was miserable, so I figured that working in a closet
as a manager in a corporation for the rest of my life was the way it was to be. I wanted to
daydream and goof off again, but make money doing it. But, I felt guilty breaking away
from the established lines to become a writer. So many "buts" and "what ifs." In the
meantime, I was becoming frustrated and lost and just did things to do them as was
expected.
The universe heard my calling one day! In the peak of my successes and the grandeur of
my career, my company was purchased and moved out of state. I was stuck because my
wife, her career, and her family were in Colorado. So, we took a chance and stayed. I
was scared to death. So, I started writing again. Years later, I realized that this was
Universe's way of saying ... "what're you waiting for dummy?"
--- Clearing the Decks ---
It's no wonder so many people live their lives in spiritual destitution. The creativity that
ought to fuel every thing in life is stifled through information and experiences garnered
from others who are stifled. Don't starve your spirit. Listen to what it is telling you.
Learn what creative gift the Universe has given you. Love it and care for it. It's as
important as the food you eat every day.
To begin your journey, you have to clear the years of gunk away just far enough for your
soul to poke its hand out. Once you grab that hand, pull hard until your soul can stand on
its own. Nurture it, play with it, and see what it can do. You will be amazed at the
possibilities once you allow your soul the opportunity to see the light of day.
One thing to remember is that you must always remain grounded. I have had times where
I have taken off to other worlds in my writing brain. However, I had to do something like
vacuum the house to remember that I still had earthbound responsibilities. But, I learned
that these responsibilities are only a very small part of life. What I have seen through my
"souler eyes" made life and its responsibilities much easier and much more fulfilling.

Whether your objective in life is to be a writer or not, the idea behind the writing
examples in this article is simply to touch your soul. Bring it out into the daylight and
have fun with it. There is nothing in all of eternity that you cannot do and that you don't
already know---all you have to do is harness it, and ask. It's all there for you, but, without
a healthy soul, it will be difficult to find.
