I had a reoccuring dream, I would find myself in a clearing with a small hill in front of me and a large stone covering the entrance to a cave. I would tirelessly push, pull and pound on the stone door only to be defeated in my efforts. After weeks of this I collapsed defeated in both body and spirit. Suddenly a man appeared riding on a simple mule, garbed in simple a white cotton tunic. the man asked may I help, are you in need of assistance? I replied It's no use I have tried tirelessly to move this stone and have failed every time.
The man asked why are you trying to remove the stone? I was told that all the answers to my questions, the healing and wisdom I seek are behind this door. The man smiled and said what you seek is not within this cave what you seek is within you.
Puzzled by the statement I asked what do you mean? The man dismounted his mule and sat down beside me and asked do you seek these things because you believe yourself to be weak? Yes, I replied, I search for strength and understanding. The man smiled and said the answers you seek do not elude you because you are weak, they elude you because you are strong. I know this for that is how I created you, your strength and pride keep you from the answers you seek. It is only when you lay them down and accept my gifts, my wisdom and my Love that you will truly understand and be at peace.
With that the stranger stood up and mounted his mule, as he began to turn and ride away he said to me, I made you perfect, the only thing in your way is you.
I awoke from the dream and pondered; was this a dream or was this my answer?
