JOURNEY INTO THE LIGHT

Tim Carter

Description

Journey Into The Light will help you to awaken to, and re-connect with your spiritual consciousness. It is this consciousness that provides your inner guidance and gives you both purpose and meaning in your life.

Beyond your mind and body, lies your consciousness, which is aware of, but not a part of your thoughts. This book describes the journey of awakening to, and re-connecting with that consciousness, your essential nature. This awakening has been variously described as achieving “Enlightenment”, “Spiritual Awakening” or “Awakening from the Dream”. Labels aside, this awakening is available to us all.

Having begun this journey, you will find purpose and meaning in your life as you gradually remember your true nature and access your own inner guidance.

If you sense that there is something beyond your physical life story, then you are ready to begin that inner rite of passage.

In describing his own life journey as a young man seeking answers to life’s big questions to an awakening in consciousness in middle age, the author respectfully encourages you, also, to take that wonderful and magical journey, back home.

To my wife, Ann, for her loving support always and for the light she shines for me and all who meet her.
 
 
 
 
 
 
For those looking for answers to the great mysteries and big issues of life - like “Who are we, actually?”; and “Does life have a purpose?” - this book provides answers which make sense, as well as being inspirational. Tim describes the path he followed and the doors which opened for him as he himself sought answers to such questions.
As he shares the insights and the practices which led him to inner peace and joy, he offers us a pathway to our own higher consciousness. He distils some complex issues into a very readable book - a book filled with truths, tips and guidance generously, respectfully and lovingly shared. You, the reader, can use it to find your own inner peace, and tap into your own wisdom, just waiting to be accessed. I, personally, have found it invaluable on my own ever-continuing journey to the light.

Introduction
We are each on a journey.
Every person on this planet is on his or her own unique and wonderful life journey.
But what are our life journeys all about?
Is there some purpose to them, or are our lives merely brief flashes of consciousness within the darkness of a never-ending universe?
From a young age, these and related questions assumed a great importance for me, and I became profoundly restless as I sought their answers. Following a spiritual experience in my twenties, I set out to discover these answers if it were possible to do so. After a lifetime searching, I have discovered my answers. They may not be correct, and they may not be the answers for others, but my answers and the journey I have taken in finding them may provide help for others who also ask such questions.
I believe that now is the time to look more closely at our own life journeys and to ask these questions:
1. Do our lives have a purpose, and if so, what is it?
2. Where are we going?
3. Why are we going there?
4. What will we find when we get there?
This story is in part about my own life journey and in part about some of the things I have discovered along the way as I sought to answer such questions. Finding the answers, I realised, was just part of the journey. Awakening in consciousness and finding myself were the really important parts and the parts for which I am truly thankful.
If you are reading this book and your life journey is similar to mine—and it may well be—then it is my hope that some of what I have learnt will assist you on your own rite of passage.
May God’s light bless you and sustain you on this magical journey.

The Spark
Man cannot discover new oceans until he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.
—Unknown
M y journey first came to my conscious awareness when I was twenty-eight years old.
Up until then, life had just seemed to happen to me. Good and bad events appeared to spring into my life at random. I guess I hoped for more good than bad, and I sought to be happy whenever possible. However, I could not see a purpose to life, nor did I understand my life journey at that time. I had questions about that journey, yes, but no answers. It was like being in a rudderless ship blown this way and that by the fickle winds of chance.
All that changed when my wife, Ann, and I decided to travel from Australia to England via South America on board a small passenger ship. Thankfully, this ship had a rudder, and it seemed to know where it was headed.
The Voyage
I remember the ship rolling more heavily as we navigated the Southern Ocean swells bound for Cape Horn and the Atlantic. The stabilisers had been retracted with a view to gaining more speed, which was great if you were in a hurry to get somewhere but not nearly so good if the added motion meant that you might have to skip the next meal or maybe the next several meals.
The weather was cold, the sky leaden, and the sea shades of grey and green with spindrift blown by the howling wind creating wild patterns across its surface.
We were ten days out from New Zealand and had still not sighted the South American coastline. Cape Horn, near the bottom of the South American continent, is the area where the Pacific and Atlantic oceans meet. The waters around the Horn are particularly hazardous, owing to strong winds, large waves, strong currents, and icebergs.
In addition to feeling somewhat queasy from the motion of the ship, I was also more than a bit glum, having just received bad news from one of the doctors on the ship that I might have to have a kidney removed when we landed in England. This was definitely not good news, and it would be fair to say that my thoughts matched the weather in all its depressing greyness.
However, at about this time, we met an older Australian couple, and after a while, my health issue came up. With great enthusiasm, they said, “Have you ever looked at diet and natural health principles as a way to healing?” I replied that I hadn’t heard of them, and they suggested that I look into taking control of my own health by watching my diet, improving my exercise, and generally looking into some natural health principles. They gave me magazines to read that were very positive in their outlook and that seemed to indicate that you could really take charge of your own health without being so dependent upon the medical profession providing you with your next script.
Spiritual Connection
Whilst this was an exciting prospect for me, I did go through times of deep depression when I wondered what life would be like minus one kidney and with possibly failing health. At the time when I was perhaps feeling most sorry for myself and generally railing against life’s inequities, I sensed what I can only describe as a most marvellous and wonderful message, which seemed to spring from within but was clearly not part of my conscious thought processes.
It came to me in the form of an inner knowing or speaking or perhaps thought transference—not from anyone around me but somehow from within me.
The message was simply that my access to the couple who had provided me with the natural health information had been arranged and was for my benefit. The quality of this message was such that I could not doubt its veracity. In fact, it seemed that everything I had learnt in my life up to that point was by no means certain when compared to this message, which was somehow absolutely truthful and real.
I had never experienced anything like this before, and when I started to think the message
