I open Beyond Intellect to page 105 and what I read about is my "bank of personal energy we can call upon in the pursuit of what we want...". There are four types of "accounts" that you can access throughout different parts of your day and for different interactions. Susan suggests that "to establish a substantial, full, rich, and abundant inner core you must learn to redeem your inner calmness and peace by seeking time to muse and dream, to contemplate, to learn, and to uncover and discover the forgotten, the disowned, and the disused aspects of yourself."
I close my eyes and imagine meeting my "best future self" in the safety deposit vault of my bank. We each use our key in the locks and slide the metal box out onto the table. We sit down. Future self is looking calm and self assured. Current self is looking more apprehensive, hesitant and scared of being wrong.
I open the box and the symbol I see is "a glowing, illuminating light. It is yellow and white and emanates from a strong core. There is no sound, but it is so bright that it feels present. It also feels warm but is only light, so it doesn't burn".
What this symbol means to me is that I need to just be me and not worry about it (easier said than done). That old hymn "This Little Light of Mine"comes to mind straight away.
This little light of mine,
I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine,
I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine,
I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine,
Let it shine,
Let it shine.
Hide it under a bushel? No!
I'm gonna let it shine
Hide it under a bushel? No!
I'm gonna let it shine
Hide it under a bushel? No!
I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine,
Let it shine,
Let it shine.
Shine all over
I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine,
I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine,
I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine,
Let it shine,
Let it shine.
Hide it under a bushel? No!
I'm gonna let it shine
Hide it under a bushel? No!
I'm gonna let it shine
Hide it under a bushel? No!
I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine,
Let it shine,
Let it shine.
Shine all over
[name of town]
I'm gonna let it shine
Shine all over
Shine all over
[name of town]
I'm gonna let it shine
Shine all over
Shine all over
[name of town]
I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine,
Let it shine,
Let it shine.
Let it shine,
Let it shine,
Let it shine.
