A New Way Forward


CHANGING MY RELIGION
A New Way Forward
By Jacqui Ray

There were times in life that I had no idea where it would lead me. Who would know that after years of drudgery, resentment, lies, and fabrications; my life would lead me to where it is now. A spiritual quest for survival, a spiritual quest for embarking to know what life really holds.

Religion never played a major part in my life. If I knew that my life would end up this way would I have taken the chance to step into a zone of uncertainty? I was an Atheist, to begin with, and I was also a married woman with a child in my thirties. Was life meant to change completely and still hold sanity in all aspects of life? I found a calling of sorts and that was faith, belief and a sound knowledge from another plane.

Where did this mid-life crisis come from? How would I explain to my husband that there was life out there that we did not know about? Could I explain to an Atheist I was married to, that my whole way of thinking and believing was changing? I had no way of going back to the old life we had lived.

Would my family, friends, and acquaintances really understand a woman who was searching for an answer and wanting to be heard? Reiki came into my life and with a new way of thinking. New friendships were forming, and life was being a force to be reckoned with. How was it possible to cut cords, live a life of being me and finding solace in salvation? Fear and panic attacks set in as the life I knew was vanishing into thin air. Would my marriage survive and how would I go about being the real me? Only time would tell.

I went from being a mum with hardly any opinions of being a woman on a mission. I was here to spread the word about healing, about life that we don’t know and about finding a voice in society that can be heard, Faith can be your own faith, it can have a religious tone, or it can be a time of learning whom you really are!

There is a certain aspect to someone’s life that can change in an instant. Would you walk out on them or would you try to live a life that compliments both ways of living? That is how my husband and I have learned to live. Time is an important factor when judging one’s self. Holding onto your own facts and ways of life has to have some impact on what civilisation brings to the table.

I am part of this new way forward with life, love and the ever-changing society of being. Don’t judge someone else until you have been in their shoes, for each person has their own quest to live. I was about to find this quest and I wanted to bring my family on a journey of discovery and salvation.

Years mark the day

YEARS MARK THE DAY By Jacqui Ray We were celebrating another milestone with our marriage, another year passed with unrelinquished misery as my husband would say. I know he was joking but deep down were we still compatible? Most years we would forget our wedding anniversary or anything else that resembled a major point in our lives. People make out dates to be so important, I am not sure if this was a sticking point in our relationship. Did it really matter if we did not celebrate our wedding anniversary? Did it really matter if we did not wear our wedding rings? People get so caught up in the expectations of what others think. It is not what he does for me but how he does it. My husband may not jump for joy on certain days when I am wanting him too but that is how he is. Don’t change a person just because you want them changed, there has to be a need for change and direction to wonder how these factors affect a relationship. We bot...

Forgiving and forgetting.

Many times in your life there are people that hold a very special place in your heart. Cutting cords is something I have never thought about until I started my spiritual journey. Do you have a friend you have known all your life? Do you keep the friendship going because you have known them forever? You might grow apart and distance yourself, but that nagging feeling keeps you in that friendship circle.   Cutting cords is hard with blood relatives and friendships, but are they serving you? Is it time to relinquish the guilt and subservience of their friendship and know that the time has come to think about yourself first? Do you need them in your life? Start with that, think about what happiness they bring to you. Think about if they are there for you when you need someone to call on or are they just a fair-weather friend? Spiritualism has no bounds with the way we are when someone is hurting you. You may just be a shoulder for somebody to use and abuse yo...

Worldly possibilities

How many people wonder what life has in store for them? Are there certain destinies to behold or how do I put it, explanations in life that cannot be told? For I am one of those people that judged and belittled what was not my belief. Somehow that made sense to me and spiritual reclusiveness was part of the package for me. My life consisted of having a wonderful upbringing, living in the suburbs of Melbourne with my family and enjoying the simple things in life. I was not a religious person nor was my family. Pretty much Atheism was what we all believed in. I did attend an Anglican school for my education but was not aware of how religion would play a part in the school curriculum. During Religious Education, I remember being perplexed and bored. I would not listen and hardly remember anything that my teacher taught me.      If I had been brought up in a different family with religious beliefs, then maybe there would be a different outcome.
