Dear Avalonians
I have recently joined and I'm so glad I have as you are such a lovely collection of people and the thing that jumps out at me is how honest and caring you all are.
I would like to ask your advice, and this may come across as self indulgent, shallow, ungrateful. I hope not, that is not who I am truthfully. I'm having a struggle with this one. Here goes...........
Firstly I want to say that all my life I have been gifted with some form of 'knowing', the only way to describe it was that "I knew I had to know something specific, but I didn't know what it was that I had to know"...... if that makes sence. Anyway, things happened (continue to happen) of a psychic, telepathic nature which I won't go into now but just to say some of it was/is beautiful, some of it was scary particularly when I was young. Now I'm getting it I hope, but I still need to 'develop' things further........ I'm doing that with greater effort and enthusiasm now!!
This year I suffered a great loss of someone who was very very very very dear to me. In that person leaving me (in the human form anyway) I had a STRONG message that said "NOW is YOUR time to give that love that you gave to that person to yourself and to Earth/humanity etc". It was (and continues to be) a LOTTA LOVE!!! So I have put things in motion to do just that. It is a change of direction in a lot of things and I'm working really hard towards it. Part of this advancement/change is to do with carreer and here's the rub..............
I have for the most part worked in the Corporate World at mid managment levels and although I started in life wanting to do something creative, which I did for a short time, this was NOT my choice in life (although clearly it was as I agreed this life before I came here) I have carved a good living out of being in the corporate world/blue chip orgs and most importantly it has givien me the opportunity and funding for me to travel the World to some wonderful and unusual places (not on a touristy type level I might add).
Now and contentedly I have a small home and a beautiful garden that I have worked hard at nuturing. It is my sancutury and the place where I can meditate, read, relax and contemplate. It is not grand by any means but it suits me. I am not and have never been a materialistic person, but I do like to have a place where I can call home and relax and enjoy. My independence is and has always been very important to me as is financial security in so much that I don't want to burden anyone with having to 'look after me'. I don't believe in having money to hoard away, but its good to have some for a rainy and a sunny day!
I just wondered if anyone had any tips and/or experiences that can assist me in moving away from the Corporate world now and forever more WITHOUT having to lose my sanctuary or my independence - right or wrong both are important to me and more so than ever now if I am going to be able to follow my 'new' path which invloves helping others more in the future.
I am lucky in that I have always seen how the corporate world and some people in it operate and have never been sucked into that part of corporate life, in fact I have always tried to guide those that were in that environment away from greed and the need for status approval. Most of the time they were so transfixed on reaching the 'top of the tree' that nothing else mattered but I tried.
I just wondered if anyone else has/had been in the same situation and how they managed to ESCAPE!!
Thanks to all
Peace and LOVE always.
