Indeed ( in-deed !), the true Awakening of our True Self comes upon us every time we willfully sacrifice our own desires to satisfy the yearnings of another ; every time we set aside our own fears to soothe the angst of another ; every time we are exhausted or ill or injured , and yet choose to reach out and carry another ’ s burden anyway .
For it is these actions and those like them that allow us to realize that , while Heaven might very well wait for us “ on the other side ” after we die ; and while we might very well “ become enlightened ” someday , the Heaven of the Soul IS ALREADY UNDER OUR FEET !
Indeed , we -- each & every one of us -- are all already fully Enlightened “ angels ” already walking its Ways … And to fully awaken to this Truth – and to feel the unbridled Bliss that accompanies such an awakening -- all we have to do is act accordingly .
“ Peace is not something you wish for ; It ’ s something you make , something you do , something you are , and something you give away .” ~ Robert Fulghum .
