Spiritual Awakening: 9-11-13 Moving Forward!!!!
Alan Jackson ask us where we were on 9-11-2001 when the earth stopped turning as we watched in horror and disbelief as The United States of America was attacked. I was preparing to go to work at The Vista School as I was one of their substitute teachers. I remember getting to school to find parents, kids, and the staff in a state of anguish. School was cancelled for the day. I told the principal I could stay and be a set of ears and she said okay. I took a deep breath and made a decision to help people move forward. That day I didn’t have the answers as to why this happened and 12 years later I still don’t. On that day 12 years ago I shared with all those who I knew that perhaps this was GOD’S way of alerting us and waking us up that we as people have an obligation to come together and make the world a better place. It was a wake up call to move forward and get in touch with our spirituality and to embrace the spiritual awakening. Here we are 12 years after the attack and we still have many issues that are in need of being addressed so we can realize that we as people are more alike than we are different. It is a time to move forward. It is a time tom honor those who stepped up on that day and continue to step up to help us to move forward in our quest to make a positive difference in the lives of others while enhancing our personal and professional life. We will not change the events that happened 12 years ago, however in moving forward we can change the way we conduct ourselves and how we treat each other. In moving forward and putting judgment aside we begin to better understand that spiritual awakenings and messages are occurring around us all the time.
In remembering 9-11-2001 we also begin to understand that the message of this day that created a spiritual awakening in many is to roll forward. Neil Young’s song Let’s Roll gives us all a clear cut message to take action. Is there something that you have been putting off because of fear of what may happen. For the passengers on United Flight 93 they knew they had to do something, they paid the ultimate price, Those brave action takers saved many lives as they sacrificed their own. Their actions moved many to move forward and take action to make a difference in their communities. Today as the names were read I visualized the people watching the remembrance service having a spiritual awakening and making a commitment to move forward.
As a proud American I encourage all those reading this entry to show pride in America as we move forward and put our differences aside and leave judgment behind as we continue to have a spiritual awakening and make our world a better place person to person.
A 9-11 article would not be complete with out this song. As we reflect let us also commit to move forward by embracing all those who we come in contact with as each person has something to offer to make our world a better place. It is time to communicate and dialogue with people and show respect for one another as we are all diving children of GOD with a purpose to be of service and value. Ask yourself how am I being of value and service and how can my actions positively affect the lives of others and thus enhance my life and move me closer to making a mind, body, soul connection.
