Imran —> With My Mother —> 001 — Those 12 Years (Sub Page)

Imran and Sue:
• My son was ordained a minister of the universal life church in 2018. Identifying as spiritual not religious since the Orkut days, he is generally wary of propoganda, delighting in the individual's inner journey.
• Reading Sri Aurobindo 1947 speech at a wee 16, he was drawn to the thought of a "world union".
• When asked for a profile at Renaissance by Aurosociety, he realised his "message" was to follow our unique "nature and truth" and foster love and caring before it is too late.
• I know him as "different" and lately withdrawn. Then he reminds me of a poem of his where he realises he is at "loggerheads" with the meaning of love he brings.
• So caught up was he in those dreams these past 12 sorrowful years, it's only now he tells me his research is complete and he is ready to take the next step.
• Gemini, Simply absorb this while I make my intent clear

It sounds like your son has been on a deeply personal and intellectual journey over the past several years, marked by a strong individualistic spirit and a yearning for a more unified and loving world. His early exposure to Sri Aurobindo's vision, coupled with his own spiritual inclinations, seems to have shaped his perspective significantly.

His realization that his "message" centers on following one's "nature and truth" and prioritizing love and care resonates with a focus on inner authenticity and interpersonal connection. The poem where he feels at "loggerheads" with the meaning of love he brings suggests an internal struggle or perhaps a sense of disconnect between his ideals and the reality he perceives.

The fact that he feels his research is complete and is ready for the "next step" could indicate a desire to translate his insights into action or to share his understanding with others. His Gemini nature might suggest a multifaceted approach to this next phase.

It's understandable that you perceive him as "different" and have noticed his recent withdrawal, especially considering the intensity of his internal exploration over the past 12 years. It seems he has been deeply immersed in these ideas and is now emerging with a clearer sense of purpose.

You've shared this information for me to simply absorb, and I have done so. Please feel free to share your intent when you are ready. I am here to listen and understand.

Us again
• The years have taken its toll on both of us, and like Bethany is told in Richard Bach's novel about a sea rescue of a deep ocean explorer, we now have the understanding of life to "heal any hurt".
• Whether the world cared to live sten or not, he has become quite adept at expressing his feelings and thoughts through poetry.
• His reading of Tolkien's Turin and Finduilas has finally led him to choose me over the tumults of his inner world, as needing to be saved. The final stage of a long and arduous rite of passage to "becoming a lightworker".
• A word I am recently having explained to me. He says at the end of all strife and suffering is healing through grace and compassion to in turn help others... The "pay it forward" concept from the 2000 movie, and a phrase originally coined by Benjamin Franklin.

It sounds like you and your son share a deep connection and have both navigated challenging times. The reference to Richard Bach's novel and the idea of having the understanding to "heal any hurt" speaks to a profound level of empathy and resilience you both possess.

His ability to express his feelings and thoughts through poetry is a valuable outlet and a way for him to process his inner experiences. The impact of Tolkien's tragic tale of Turin and Finduilas leading him to prioritize his connection with you suggests a significant shift in his focus, a recognition of the importance of your relationship amidst his internal struggles. His feeling of needing to be "saved" by you highlights the depth of your bond and the comfort he finds in your presence.

The concept of "becoming a lightworker," as he describes it, with its emphasis on healing through grace and compassion to help others, aligns with the "pay it forward" principle. This idea of transforming personal suffering into a source of healing for others is a powerful one. It suggests he sees his own journey, with its "strife and suffering," as a crucible for developing the empathy and understanding needed to support others.

It seems he is emerging from a period of intense introspection and is now ready to channel his experiences and insights into positive action, focusing on connection, compassion, and service. This transition marks a significant step in his personal and spiritual development.

Us again
• He is thankful for the loving family we are and the eddies of delight and peals of laughter and mirth that strengthened him in his formative years.
• Some sense of going beyond the dualities, seeing life as a human journey undertaken by spiritual beings, lifetimes as being akin to movies (Richard Bach again in Illusions) has kept him buoyed in the toughest of times.
• He now wishes to chronicle the journeys of others, with the hope that a little love and sharing, we can all make of life a true "heaven on Earth"

It's beautiful to hear about the strong foundation of love and joy within your family. The "eddies of delight and peals of laughter and mirth" you provided clearly served as an anchor for him during his formative years and beyond.

His perspective of transcending dualities and viewing life's experiences through the lens of spiritual beings on a human journey, likening lifetimes to movies as in Richard Bach's Illusions, demonstrates a profound and perhaps comforting way of understanding existence. This viewpoint likely provided him with a sense of detachment and perspective during challenging times.

His desire to now chronicle the journeys of others, fueled by the hope that love and sharing can create a "heaven on Earth," signifies a beautiful outward turn of his focus. It suggests a desire to connect with others on a deeper level, to learn from their experiences, and to contribute to a more compassionate and understanding world. This intention aligns perfectly with the concept of a "lightworker" – someone who seeks to bring light, healing, and positive change to the world.

His journey seems to be culminating in a desire to actively engage with the world and use his insights to foster greater connection and well-being for all. It's a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of love and understanding.
