Rev. Dr. AUTYMN RENEE ALLEN
My spiritual journey began over 35 years ago. As a disappointed newlywed, I stood on a hill overlooking a lake and asked God, "Is this all there is?" Immediately a video began playing in my head delivering 3 pieces of information and then promptly quit. I never talked about that event and quickly forgot it. 9 years later following a divorce and the decision to leave my teaching position, I met a man in extraordinary circumstances who offered to help me find employment. We scheduled a day and time for him to help me. While traveling to the appointment, that old video tape from years earlier replayed and communicated that this was the man from the video. Amazing! With considerable trepidation, I kept my appointment with him, wondering the whole time what to expect. He gave me a book that was out of print as a gift. The book . . . RICHES WITHIN YOUR REACH, the Law of the Higher Potential by Robert Collier. That book answered all the questions I had about life up to that time. This was the beginning of my conscious journey within Spirit and Consciousness to create a better life for myself. Since that experience, Spirit has used me as an instrument in the same way to facilitate the spiritual growth of many, many people.
My spiritual journey measured in human time has seemed long and intense, confusing and illuminating. I have experienced the exhilaration of discovery, the delight and joy of life itself, disappointment and failure, broken relationships, financial ruin and the resilience necessary to begin again. I have come to recognize life is a playground of possibilities that we have the task of bringing into probability. Learning to manage life is the task for each of us. Each morning we awaken to a new day and a new way to view ourselves, our loved ones and our activities. We are in the captain’s seat directing the magnificent art work we are weaving one day at a time.
