Audreys Pathway.

I have been involved in the Spiritualist Movement for a number of years now but my Spiritual Pathway has only become apparent to myself this past year. This evolved through syncronicity, vivid dreams and relentless subliminal messages from friends and family. I have learned many lessons in life some have involved trauma on many levels. I often asked why these life lessons were thrust upon me. I now believe that these lessons had to be experienced in order for me to help others who have experienced similar life traumas, in the form of councelling. In February this year (2006) after speaking to friends and family, I decided that my life purpose was to be a councellor. Once I had made this decision, I telephoned the Adam Smith College in Glenrothes, Fife, and made inquiries as to whether they run councelling courses.

Imagine my surprise when I was informed that not only did they run the courses but it was due to start the next day. I went up to the college and within 2 hours was enrolled in "Introduction to Councelling". This was the start, I then quite by chance discovered that the NHS Fife also run short courses on various topics which would help me on my path. These courses are designed for professionals working within the healthcare sector and it is almost impossible for an independant volunteer to get on the waiting list. I telephoned the lady who organised and run the courses and was accepted. I have since completed many courses including one which was close to my heart which was The Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training. I trust Spirit will help me with the many lessons i still have to learn. Im sure i will always follow my pathway and help others in any way that I can.

Not long after I started visiting a Spiritualist Church and becoming a member, I became a different person in many ways, and for the better I hasten to add. This 'awakening' made me see myself, and others, in a different light. In this life we all have faults and failings, although most of us don’t see them, more to the point we don’t want to, after all we are only human. Judgement of another person has been one of my biggest failings and i now recognise this and 'pull myself up' for it, i think its one of the worst things we can do to eachother. I must say that in 39yrs of living your life one way, then turning it upside down to live another, isnt easy, the stress and doubts hit me daily but in the last few years I have learned from them...sometimes ;-) By becoming involved and being part of an awareness group and also sitting in a development circle, I began to see spirit energies, feel their sensations and sometimes 'hear' their voices. It comes in stages at times, with long lulls of nothing in between, and 'paitence' is a word that keeps popping up ....this drives me crazy !

Spiritual growth & develpoment is no easy feat and at times I have often wanted to turn away and go back to my old self, but spirit have a strange way of getting you back on track again ( synchronicities ) and when they do, it always makes me laugh. But, i hang my head in shame for doubting them sometimes. I now feel that my pathway in life is to try my best to prove that we do survive death, communication between spirit and us is possible, to help others in any way i can...without reward, and to grow in a spiritual way the best i can. The people you meet, the experiences you go through, the things you see & the lessons you learn fill me with wonder, even if its not what you expect. Usually, they all tie together further down the path and you feel another lesson is learned....or not ! Well, i know someone was listening to me when i asked for development & spiritual growth and the lessons keep coming that will take me further on my pathway of learning with alot more to follow. You should try it sometime :0)
