The Chamber of Beginnings

If we choose to seek, we shall find that though it is simple, it is not always easy. The key is willingness, but that goes against our nature. Naturally, we want to appear to be in control, and until we understand the principle of submission, we will always see it as someone else controlling us. Submitting does not mean giving up our will; it means that we willingly change or align our will to conform to the outcome we desire.

The Chambers of Integration: An invitation to becoming

 

I was once told my life would be an open book. The thought terrified me. Not because I had something to hide from others, but because I had been hiding from myself.

I wandered into a dark place in my mind—a place built not on grand deceptions, but on small lies. Lies that whispered I was fine when I wasn’t. Lies that kept me from being truly useful in my attempts to be good.

Now, I am ready to share my journey. Not as a finished tale, but as an allegory—an open book that will never be complete. Because life itself is never complete.

Perhaps this story only belongs to me. Yet I suspect there are others who have circled the same door, hesitated at its threshold, and turned away out of fear of the unknown. My hope is that by opening my book, others may find courage to step through their own.

An open book never ends—it only finds new ways to be reread.

The Secret to Change

Something you must know, in order for you to open the door to the Chambers of Integration you must be prepared. It is not a walk in the park. You must be willing or the door will remain sealed. The Chamber itself may bring you some relief, because effort is rewarded, but once you have entered that is when the work truly begins. At that point it is only as hard as you resist. Open your mind, open your heart and when you do, you will find out what it means to feel whole.

Some people think that when you are integrated, it will make you a different person. And it will—if you understand what it means to be a different person. Sometimes we expect to feel massively different when we change, but that is not always the case. After his night of integration Ebenezer Scrooge was the same person he had always been, but when he entered his Chamber of Integration, his eyes were opened. It was only a small shift of remembrance that changed him. His transformation was dramatic, and we can all point to similar experiences—whether with people we know personally or with others we have simply observed. The secret is not hidden at all; it has been programmed into us from the beginning of our existence. The secret is… remember.

The Chambers of Integration: A Guide Between Knowing and Doing Coming Soon

 This is a project I am working on. This one I am both excited to share. It was one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life, but also one that I felt completely vulnerable in the process. It is not just a story. It is my story a cross between a memoir, an allegory, and guided tour through the journey form living a fragmented life to a life of wholeness. There are many secrets that we all hold that we don't let anyone know...Fears that we hide from the world and experiences that we didn't even know had such a profound effect on us as that we would create our own trappings. Traumas that shaped our life in ways that we couldn't have know what it would do to the rest of our lives. To me it reminded me that God can turn all things to our good if we are willing... Please comment if this sounds like something you might be interested in. This is going to take some time to smooth out the rough edges, but when it is done, if no one reads it, it won't matter, because it has changed everything about how I believe in me.
