There is one question which almost everyone who has any desire for the spiritual has probably asked at least once, and I asked it many times. You hear about someone else's spiritual experience and, unless you are already having equal experiences, the natural tendency is to ask that question: "What about me?" It's only natural to want such experience, and it's to be expected that you might wonder why it can happen for someone else but not you. But why can't it happen for you? There's a story that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart sat down at a harpsichord at age six and immediately began playing what became known as the Minuet In G. Well, if that story is true, that was Mozart, not Aidan Odinson and not you, either. If either of us were to sit at such a keyboard and begin to attempt music, most folks would probably suggest that we take music lessons. Music lessons are simply mentored practice sessions which occur in between series of our own practice sessions where we make music which gradually sounds more musical. While we might not need mentored practice sessions in spirituality, there are things we can do to help ourselves, beginning with our visualizations. And from there, much can happen. Blessed Be!
