I just don&#8217;t know how to reach beyond what I now know and know I should be able to reach another level of awareness and knowingness, for it is there, waiting for me to be able to understand, and I just cannot reach it. So I wrote this. There really is a wall, self-imposed or other imposed back in time, to limit our limitless abilities. I want to go back home and make some music there again.<\/p>\n<p>There is a Wall<br \/>\nThere is a wall<br \/>\nThat I am nearly tall enough to see over<br \/>\nI can faintly hear the music<br \/>\nBeing played on the other side<br \/>\nLike no music I have ever heard before on this side of the wall<br \/>\nAnd others here cannot seem to hear those melodies and harmonies so some think I am crazy but I don&#8217; care<br \/>\nI somehow know I played it<br \/>\nMyself over there<br \/>\nBut I cannot find a way back over or around the wall<br \/>\nHow did I lose my way? Or why?<br \/>\nI spent my life searching to find the way back<br \/>\nI am so weary of this tuneless plane and make the most of<br \/>\nmy days searching and knowing one day I will cross back over<br \/>\nWhen I have proven my worth if that is the ticket<br \/>\nTo cross over and join the band beyond the wall.<\/p>\n<p>I replied:<\/p>\n<p>When is your best time and place to fully connect with your &#8220;higher self&#8221;. I sometimes get the impression I am operating on two planes, this one here on Earth: a Spirit, Mind and Body combination we know as a person, the other is &#8220;up there&#8221; without my body.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes I feel like I &#8220;connect&#8221; with my higher self and see things with new clarity or have a realization.<\/p>\n<p>For me the best time is very first thing after I awake. If I lie there and just let my thoughts take me where they will or put my attention on an area and get into communication with it, sometimes magic happens.<\/p>\n<p>Spot your &#8220;best time&#8221; and invest some time there.<\/p>\n<p>My higher self wishes you a better connection with your higher self!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Music Past The Wall A friend posted: This morning before daybreak sitting on my patio, I tried again to see beyond and hit the same barrier.
