Meeting Mother Teresa was a moment that stands out in my life and not only because she was an iconic figure. I worked with HIV positive patients in Romania in the early 90’s. My husband worked as the charity administrator and often gave extra help to an orphanage that was run by the Sisters of [...]

Living like Deepak

Submitted by on January 4, 2010 – 6:16 pmNo Comment

Welcome to my journey!

Well strictly speaking journey may be implying too much in so far as most journeys have a destination, an end point and more than usually a reason to travel. For me in this case it is not so clear-cut I fear. Maybe ramblings would be more appropriate?

By way of background I am middle-aged (which is something of an unknown as I don’t really know when the end of my days will arrive and so assume, with no small degree of hope, that I am about in the middle!), live in what is rather un-flatteringly called “middle England” and am probably middle-of-the-road from a political perspective (I have strong “green” tendencies but I am uncertain as to where, in the traditional political spectrum, that this would place me!).

I have, like far too many of my disposition and age, had my share of success and, for the sake of definition at this present moment, failure. A very successful career in the ego-bursting world of corporate commerce and a subsequent separation from the same. A wonderful marriage and an extremely expensive divorce. Thrilling world-wide experiences and periods of chronic isolation. I tell you these things not by way of badges or awards but simply to tell you that I “know”. I know the pleasures and the pains. I have been there. Simple as that.

I started to investigate personal development and spiritual expansion at the early stages of my aforementioned separations. From the ‘woo-hoo, yes you can‘ world of Robbins and the American heroes to the Vedic scriptures. I have read Deepak Chopra’s work on many occasions; sometimes I got it, sometimes not. Sometimes I re-visited and then ‘got it!‘

I decided recently that if I was to truly benefit from the succinct and profound writings of this amazing man then I had to commit to it; commit completely. So, here I am.

I intend to follow The 7 Spiritual Laws of Success as completely and consistently as I can manage. I am sure that I will learn and grow but have no fixed idea of my eventual destination. I will update my thoughts, feelings, emotions, progress and frustrations daily – or that is my current intention.

I would be extremely pleased to share this with you – warts and all as they say. I hope with all my heart that you gain some benefit from my experiences and musings. And of course, I am hoping for something too – as yet, at the start of the journey, I have no fixed ideas as to what.

Love and hope.
Pablo Funky
