I wake up every day more aware of what my heart knows.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s one of those days where I want to go invisible, retreat to my inner universe. My eyes are empty but soft. I am solid inside, but tender. My heart is present and there is no place to hide here. I think this is because of my participation in the Peace Awareness Training 3, at Lake Arrowhead, where I often get a glimpse of God, a moment where I remember, God is expressing through me too.<\/p>\n<p>These days, I am easily moved to tears of gratitude, sadness, or something in between. There is a longing for what I know as God, inside of me. I struggle to enjoy this vulnerability, this incredibly exquisite intimacy. I observe myself as I am sharing myself. I shift back and forth between resisting who I am and being utterly and unequivocally in love.<\/p>\n<p>I live at Prana and am surrounded by beautiful people most of the time. And even though that is true, I sometimes want to be the only one on my planet somewhere where all I hear is silence.<\/p>\n<p>It is dinner time and I am hungry, so I put the Light around me, put on my invisible cloak and sneak into the dining room, just before it is filled with people. I fix my plate and retreat to our lush Japanese gardens. I almost make it to solitary heaven when I see a friend coming up behind me. He is one of those friends I can\u2019t hide from. He somehow sees what is inside of me, invisible cloak or not. I lower my eyes, but he is still there.<\/p>\n<p>As I turn to open the door, to go inside of the dining room, I glance over my shoulder, our eyes meet and before I can shut down, I say everything I am experiencing and my eyes fill with tears. I am naked here in this place I\u2019ve designed. My inner universe has expanded to include everything, even what I may perceive as outside turns out to be inside too. I take a deep breath in and let him see me. I relax and see the amazing freedom bubbling as I am vulnerable and safe in God\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n<p>I am grateful for this Traveler\u2019s Mystery school and the Peace Awareness Trainings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>VIEW THE PHOTOS FROM THE PATS AT LAKE ARROWHEAD 2015<\/strong><br \/>\n<div style=\"max-width: 640px; height: 400px\" class=\"fshow-wrapper\">\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/newdayherald\/fshow_orbit_568f69558d682?photosetid=72157656847983125&user_id=71628367%40N07&gallery_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2F71628367%40N07%2Fsets%2F72157656847983125%2F\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 400px\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"true\" mozallowfullscreen=\"true\" border=\"0\">\n<\/iframe>\n<noscript>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/s\/aHskhFnoJ2\" target=\"_blank\">Click to View<\/a><\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year at the Peace Awareness trainings (PATs) at Lake Arrowhead, I realized that my life is a Peace Awareness training and I have so many opportunities here to sacrifice what is no longer serving me so I go free and enter the place God has prepared for me.
