Seek Find Be Light

Questions about good and evil, the desire to control or cooperate, and the choice to make a difference, or not, are as old as humanity. Where do the urges to choose one path over another come from? Can we be better people? Can we make a difference for each other and for our world? We can do anything we want to do. This book, a compilation of writings from the author's blog, Notes Along the Path, is about choosing a lighter way of living. In Seek Find Be Light, Pam Bickell explores the questions of who we are, where we come from and why we are here on Earth. She writes with a light, yet frank, tone while revealing what she has learned from her experiences with her dark self, and from the compassion of her higher self. Posts from her blog, Notes Along the Path, written from 2009-2013, are grouped in categories such as: So Long, Guilt; Finding Forgiveness; Our Powerful Thoughts; Destiny; the Gifts of Nature and others.

When I turned 57 in May, 2009, the realization of how much our Creator loves all of us really hit home, right in my heart. Replacing my guilt and doubts was a profound inner awareness that God (AKA Love, Christ, Higher Self, Universe, Grandfather, Goddess, Great Mystery, etc.) loves us so completely and so passionately that what is dark, and our memories of the darkness, are literally burned away by the light. The dark beings chasing us in our dreams are not monsters from stories—they are us, our shadow selves or dark sides. Fear keeps us from turning around, but fear is a liar, in truth, no more than a hologram. Eventually, we will all turn around and see that we are so much more than the darkness that fear would have us believe. We are children of a Great Being of Love who awaits our outstretched arms and our call, "Papa! Mama!"
My life journey is weaved throughout the 700+ posts at this blog, Notes Along the Path, many of them written about what I have gleaned from my learning experiences. Within me, too, were stirrings regarding the nature of Higher Love; and a drive to serve something greater than myself, even before I became chronically ill. Maybe these matters of the higher heart, some effective hard-knocks lessons, and a healing by a Divine hand combined to create an opening for me to listen for my Higher self and write. My first post at this blog, Notes Along the Path, was in June, 2009; I published the book-of-posts, Seek Find Be Light, electronically in April of 2013.
Though I believe the messages herein are a gift of a loving Creator, I know that just because I have written, "God is Love," doesn't make it so. I continue on my quest and regularly discover more layers of yucky stuff within, yet the only words I hear are about how much I am loved by our Creator—of how much you, we, are all loved. The Great Being of Love knows exactly who we are, both the light and the dark of us, before we are born on Earth. God longs for us to move closer to Him/Her, but loves us without measuring the distance. Earth is our school; God made us and our school.
Over time, my spiritual ideals have become inclusive and nonjudgmental, for what could be a more significant and personal decision than what we believe about our Creator? At Notes Along the Path, as a great East/West guru lovingly refers to them, God is our Heavenly Father, our Divine Mother and Jesus Christ, our dear friend. Friend! I often think of God simply as Love, w...
