Conversations with Avant-garde Sages
studied The Course in Miracles for many years. But poetry I had
not even thought about in my wildest dreams.
It was quite a surprise, and it was sometimes that I would
meditate on one single word, like I would sit in nature under the
cherry blossom tree, or I would communicate with a squirrel on
the inner plains. And all of a sudden a poem would start to form
around that, and then it came as a whole, it wasn't that I was
completely out of the way, or something, it's like I was the
facilitator, and this was something that I needed to do. It came at
most uncomfortable times at times, like at 6.00 am or so I would
wake up and a poem would want to come. I would be like, not now
please [Laughs]. But there was no choice involved really in it, so I
can't take any personal credit whatsoever, I really can't. It's very
different from your vow, which is lovely.
WIZARD: So you were just going with what wanted to happen.
MAREN SPRINGSTEEN: Absolutely, absolutely. I was just going
with the flow, and I just trusted. I had this innate trust that there
is a higher purpose to everything and that if something happens
then it can't be any other way, it has to be this way no matter how
unpleasant it might seem appearance wise. But then we've got to
deal with it, and then there's something in it, like there's always a
hidden blessing in it. And it's up to us to look for that blessing,
and just offer acceptance rather than resistance, and we can turn it
around and use it as a beautiful opportunity to become more fully
what we're meant to be in this role that we are all playing here in
this dimension, while we're here. We all are here, we are speaking
right now, there's a phone, there's bodies, voices. So while we all
know what's happening on the deeper level, but there is a purpose
certainly for us being here on this planet at this time.
WIZARD: So did you see that same paradigm with your physical
breakdown, and your physical challenges?
MAREN SPRINGSTEEN: Would you elaborate on that?
