With so many groups telling us which way to go or how to live a peaceful life, it is easy to get confused or second guess our own belief systems. One group preaches theirs is the way, while another wages war on the next because theirs is the way. Anyone that preaches anything other than Love is surely not The Way.

Filling this void with Love, all other teachings fall short to what matters most…Love one another as you want to be Loved. With that we visit our good friend Ani Po, who learns first hand that there are many pathways to paradise. While many have valuable lessons along the way, it is not the easiest path to choose. The easiest to choose is often thought unrealistic.

Ani Po Is visited by another messenger while driving to work…

Ani Po notes a black cat on the opposite side of the median. As it scampers across the road it stops at the boulevard and disappears briefly. Cautiously slowing down, watching other cars drive by the place where the cat was last seen.

Thinking she is in the clear Ani Po accelerates, but the cat appears. Making a dash for the other side of the road, the cat stops just in front of Her vehicle. When the eyes locked, Ani Po found herself Shifting into another realm…Ani Po shifts to her past.

She lands on the Pilgrims path. The path taken before entering the Warrior’s path. Very familiar to her, she knows this path leads to paradise through various trials and tribulations. Learning that a positive mind leads to positive thoughts, which leads to positive words and actions…ultimately leading to a positive being in paradise. This path, while a happy ending, leads our pilgrim down a bumpy, windy road.

She is then shifted ahead in time to the path of Warrior. While the pilgrim’s path leads to that of the Warrior, it is a bumpy transition. The Warrior’s path is not followed like that of the pilgrim, but merely accepted. The lesson brought forth: The Warrior’s path can be attained merely by accepting a path of Love.

Two paths, same outcome. One is long and windy, while the other is short and narrow. The short and narrow path is the thin line between both worlds: flesh and spirit.

Ani Po returns to her truck and immediately looked for the Black Cat…only to have vanished. Where did this messenger go?

While the messenger briefly appeared in her life, the message became apparent: we needn’t do anything to enter paradise. While one path leads down a bumpy and windy road, the other promises a short and narrow path. While there is a heavenly paradise beyond this realm, we can live in paradise on earth. Hell is not a destination, but a state of mind. Same is for Heaven. What if Earth is our own living hell? Would you want to change it? Change your ideas about this place you call Earth…and see Paradise.

Stepping into the Canvas, walking a Narrow path between flesh and Spirit. While the path Narrow, the road is vast. In vastness we find our Way…we are balanced. The Way carries Love in our Hearts and we instinctively find ourselves walking in Spirit. To be In Spirit is to be inspired, to be inspired is to be inspiring. This is The Way…Be The Way.
