From 2007 until 2013, I taught classes on spirituality called “StarTalker Classes”. The classes were popular and each class usually was a chapter in the class book that I put together. In my classes, I sometimes had guest speakers that were specialists in certain parts of spirituality. This blog comes from my notes on one of the classes.
Our entire life has been training. The question is: training in what? This question means: training in which direction?... Are we training in numbing ourselves in the face of fear, or training in waking up? Training in opening the heart, or training in shutting down? - from "Fruitless Labor," by Gaylon Ferguson
Last night, in my StarTalker class (I teach several ladies a program called StarTalker), our guest speaker talked about all the things that we do in our life, and how they all prepare us for working towards understanding ourselves. It was interesting to me that it is not about understanding others which is what we learn in school, in psychology or sociology, it is about understanding ourselves.
We are on a journey of self discovery. We are learning how unique and how exciting our journey is – even if sometimes it feels quite painful. I am still working through all the ideas that were presented last night. However, I am once again amazed that the Universe sent the above quote which ties in 6 the session from last night.
We/I have lots to think about.
Blessings,
Judy

Thanks for reading this blog post. Sharing is good if it is kind and either has questions or tells about an experience. (Rudeness and profanity are excluded.)
