WHAT DO I MEAN BY SPIRIT?
To start with, I'm not referring to spooks, ghosts, or other-worldly entities. I am referring to a benign presence that is available to us all to tap into. Some call it the Tao, others call it Prana, Chi, or the Holy Spirit, the Voice of God, or just the Godforce.
Scared off religion in the past?
If you are one of those people who has been scared off religion, then you may have an issue with any of the above names. I'm happy for you to make light of it and call it 'The Big G', or simply use that rather amorphous term, the Universe, as I have above. And I reckon the Big G is happy too.
Aspies are smart enough to spot the flaws in mainstream religious rhetoric
One of the reasons I’ve created my educational materials for other Aspies is because many of us seek a spiritual path, and are looking for closeness to Spirit (by whatever name we use). Yet we are dissatisfied with what regular religions offer, are smart enough to spot the flaws in mainstream religious rhetoric, and would be beautifully served by finding our own inner path — one that's good for the neurodiverse brain.
Create your own adventure
I've explored so many paths over the years – and in my courses I share tools that I've learned, and which suit my AuDHD brain. They may suit your brain too. The thing is that you're free to pick and choose and basically create your own adventure.
In the story of Ugly Duckling, when did the Ugly Duckling stop feeling Ugly?
When he realized that he was a swan. Each of us has something special, a swan of some sort, hidden inside somewhere. But until we recognize that it's there, what can we do but splash around, treading water? The wise are who they are. They work with what they've got and do what they can do.
