An Epiphany of Enlightenment

A moment of being. An epiphany. My mother calls it an "Ah ha!" moment. Whatever term you use or make up, those moments have helped me see the world, or myself, in a different view. Many of which happened in my more recent years. Such as a moment at one of my great uncles' funeral, where I learned the connection of death between us all and how it is only just the last great journey in our short lives. With such a short time to fill that indiscriminate void in our hearts and souls, a women came to me about Jesus, giving me another epiphany. She said that Jesus was inside her. I remember thinking that I had found "Jesus," though I use a different term. Gaia. Earth. Be it God, Allah, Jesus, Mother Earth or even the "Force," to me those terms were all synonyms to each other. But the one moment of being that pops most in my head was when I was much younger.

During my earlier years in elementary school, I was ignorant when it came to other spiritual ideas, beliefs and religions. The only thing I "knew" was that God created us and all nature around us. Basically everything you learn in bible school. But during that time, I stood by my bedroom window and pointed out to the sun. "The Sun is God," came a thought in my head. Then I lowered my finger to the ground below me and another thought came to head, "The Earth is His wife, our Mother." It did not occur to me until later on that this was a basic belief in the ancient Celtic religions, such as Druidism. I only learned this through research into finding my true spiritual path.

That moment of being, that "Ah ha!" moment, has opened my eyes to my own intuition. It allowed that intuition to guide me spiritually and help me better myself. May future moments of being bring me further down my spiritual path and give me more insight to my higher being.
