st<\/sup> (Editor\u2019s Note:\u00a0 Ron Beimel passed into Spirit at the end of May 2019 in an avalanche on Nanda Devi in India).\u00a0 For me at this time, I am more involved with his life as it continues to evolve.\u00a0 I really can\u2019t bring myself to focus too much on the past.<\/p>\nMy journey since the end of May has been intense, but it has been an amazing time of growth and upliftment.\u00a0 The energy and support from our Travelers and community has been palpable.\u00a0 I actually experienced what is described in the song, \u201cThe Wind Beneath My Wings.\u201d\u00a0 Inwardly, I heard a voice telling me to “use that support!\u00a0 Take in that energy. Don’t waste it by spacing out. Recognize and use this extraordinary gift that you are being given!”\u00a0 I am very thankful for that support, and am thankful to myself for truly\u00a0letting it in and truly allowing myself to be supported. Consequently, I feel completion, joy and a\u00a0warm sense of gratitude at this time. Ronnie led a very full and fulfilling life.\u00a0 He followed his passions\u00a0and explored many fields.\u00a0 More importantly, he was able to share his love with others in a very real and beautiful way.\u00a0 Many were blessed by knowing him.<\/p>\n
As much as I have missed seeing J-R in the physical since his passing several years ago, my awareness of his presence has actually increased since that time.\u00a0 Rather than experiencing his passing as loss, I have felt an increase. \u00a0I have watched as the awareness naturally unfolded before me.\u00a0 Yes, I actively watched for it, I looked for it and, time and again, I brought my wandering mind back to the present so I could avail myself of the opportunity to receive. I didn\u2019t make it happen, but I cultivated a place inside that seemed to make room for him to show up.\u00a0 This was not a new or revolutionary awareness.\u00a0 I had been hearing about this in Discourses and Seminars for many years.<\/p>\n
So since Ron left the physical, I have been approaching his transition in the same way I approached J-R\u2019s transition. My experience with J-R helped paved the way for me to do it again by simply watching, bringing my mind back to the here and now, and back from the insidious forgetfulness that seems to be part of life on the\u00a0 physical level. So, I look for Ronnie in my S.E.\u2019s. I like to think that he is J-R\u2019s staff member on the other side. I look for him while riding my bicycle through the forests outside Kyoto, via that place inside that bridges imagination and reality, where the sweetest energy seems to kick in. He was an adventurer and mountain climber during his physical life, and I sense that the mountains and territories he is currently exploring are majestic beyond my current comprehension.<\/p>\n
I choose not to write about Ron\u2019s very exceptional life on earth in this piece, because my current magnificent obsession is to both know him right now and to deepen my connection to J-R. We are all so blessed to have J-R\u2019s living legacy with us, guiding us\u00a0inwardly and upwardly in awareness of the 90%. Let us rise to the opportunities that are so abundantly present.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
