I am 2

Yesterday I wrote "On a much deeper level I am a child of God/love and I conduct my daily life in partnership with that power. This latter is viewing myself as the eternal 'I am' and gives me abilities and awarenesses I did not know I had." I have learned a great deal about my increased "abilities and awarenesses" through my disability and interactions with various experts, therapists and doctors. Typically they tell me what I cannot do, I then go way beyond that and they then tell me that what I am doing is impossible given my diagnosis or physical limitations. They then look for explanations from within the confines of their training and find none. I move on in my own life while watching this scene play out and trying to not hold myself back based on their understanding. I always keep in mind the words of Williamson when she wrote "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
