My world is changing rather quickly bit by bit recently, and it sometimes feels a bit dizzying, like I’m on a ride.
Last night I had a dream. It was extremely clear, and I was talking to someone who was a teacher or a spiritual guide or something similar. He was pointing forcefully to something he’d written on a large white paper tablet sitting on an easel, saying, “You don’t NEED anyone else to give you ordination! Ordination never was, and never will be, a matter that a church or religion can bestow on someone. True ordination is between a priest and her or his God. It’s up to you to decide whether to live your life needing approval, or to be Who You Are.”
I snapped awake and grabbed the notepad and pen by my bed to write this stuff down. While I was writing, another thought came to me about ordination — the Constitution (I believe) decrees a separation of church and state, so there really is NO SUCH THING as a “legally ordained” priest. The law of a state or community may decide under what conditions a priest may preform civic duties like marriages, funerals, or baptisms, but no governmental agency can determine whether one is a priest or not. And a church, religion, or denomination may say they determine who can act on behalf of their organization, but even they do not determine who is a priest and who isn't. "True ordination is between a priest and her or his God."
I went back to sleep, and immediately dreamed of shooting an arrow into the dead center of a bullseye. I woke up again and knew immediately that this meant that my line of thinking on this was right on target.
I’m in a state of floaty, giddy, smiley, contentedness today. I am a mystic; that is Who I Am. I’ve reached a connection with my Higher Self that I didn’t have before, and I'm beginning to care less and less about ego-related matters. I’m not saying I’m enlightened by any means. I’m just really glad this is happening. It feels good. :-)
