Source's Challenge - Going Beyond Spirituality: Life Is but a Reflection, of You

By Nickki Lee-Leong

Source's ChallengeGoing Beyond Spirituality is not about the life I have had. My past is my past; it does not define who I am. Instead, my past defines the people who have been in my life and the influences they have had on me. There is nothing wrong with this. Actually, I thank them for being there for me. Who I am personality-wise is a consequence of my pasta 'conditioning', one might say.

As an individual, my challenge as an adult has been to un-condition myselfto find what I am made of, to be a consequence of myself, and to be at peace with this.

Yes, others have had worse lives than me, but are they (and if you have picked up this book, are you), willing to move past your past and be un-conditioned? To move past the pain and hurt, the agony of being eaten away by the emotions brought about by family and life history? To face the new challenge of finding the real self? To let go of who you think you are and to find who you truly are?

Source's ChallengeGoing Beyond Spirituality is meant to be used as a guide to question what one thinks, how one acts, why something happened, when it will change, and where one is going. The first step is to realise that everyone may not see from the same perspective, but no one is not alone in endeavours of searching for the Truth. And that Truth is who you really are.

Source's Challenge—Going Beyond Spirituality depicts the personal journey of Nickki Lee-Leong, which she hopes will inspire readers to delve into the depths of their own hearts to find what is true for each one of them. Nickki’s journey began the moment s was conceived. This is her perspective and her perspective only. She cannot speak for anyone else, but writes based on just what she knows, sees and feels. It doesn't mean she or anyone else is 'wrong' or 'right'. It doesn't mean she agrees or condones what others do or say either. Nickki believes everyone is entitled to speak and do what they like, but the lesson to be learned is for those who receive it, and those who observe it being given to others—which covers just about everyone! Different situations, same bottom-line lesson. So, here are the lessons Nickki would like to give with one big punch line toward the end!

About the Author

HOW TO FOLLOW YOUR HEART AND KNOW WHAT IS TRUE FOR YOU…AND BE EMPOWERED!

This is my journey which I hope will inspire you to delve into the depths of your own heart to find what is true for you.

Hi! My journey began the moment I was conceived! You have to know, this is my perspective and my perspective only. I cannot speak for anyone else. I just know what I see and feel. It doesn’t mean I or anyone else in ‘wrong’ or ‘right’. It doesn’t mean I agree or condone what others do or say either. Everyone is entitled to ‘speak and do’ - the lesson is for those who it is spoken and done to, and those who observe it being done to others. Which covers just about everyone! Different situations, same bottom line lesson.

So - here is my lesson - wait - lessons! With one big punch-line toward the end!

I was born into this world with a strong belief in re-incarnation, the Lord God, Angels and that my ‘mission/goal’ in life was to know what unconditional love truly was, and to practice that unconditional love toward my fellow human beings.

Now before you close the book and think this is a religious thing - it’s not! - well sort of. Sure I was born into the Catholic church (mum’s side, Atheist dad’s side). AND I was baptised into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints when I was 18 (then became an ‘inactive’ member the very next day! lol)…BUT I have never been religious! Still doesn’t convince you? How about…. I’m a lesbian, been sexually assaulted, failed at school, have jumped from one job to another, had my own small business (me!) which didn’t take off, and barely enough money in the bank to cover the cost of living! SOO totally blamed my life on everyone else but myself…and that included God and the Angels, all the way down to family, friends and even (eventually) me.

I don’t have a reason to be religious, to love God OR be grateful for the life I have had. BUT - I am! I am very spiritual. I don’t know why I believe in what I believe in, I just ‘know’ it’s there - It’s inside of me. It’s like a door was left open when I was born and the knowledge was easily accessible. And when I look back at the life I have had with all it’s trials and tribulations, and I see others who have had much worse, - I do give thanks; I am grateful; I do believe in God - whom I am made the image of - and so are you!

I am here to share my story with you in the hope I may inspire you to ‘see’ YOU and know that you too, have the ability to ‘see’ beyond what you have experienced and will continue to experience in your life. That these experiences have all been lessons for you personally…For you to rise and believe in yourself - and TRUST who YOU are - and LIVE YOUR TRUTH!

WHEN YOU KNOW YOU’RE CONNECTING WITH SOURCE

What is it that makes it seem easy/’real’ for me? Connection - when I can ‘reach in’ and connect with that ‘sweet spot’ in the middle of my brain - that’s when it all comes together. Words flow. It’s like I am no longer a ‘thinker’ but a gateway to the flow. Allowing whatever enters and just writing it down. It’s like I can have a conversation with the words. But only if my questions are short sweet and to the point. Not allowing my brain to ‘think’ about the answers, but just allowing the words to come. Once I ‘break’ that connection or ‘close the gate/door’, do the words stop flowing and I have to ‘think’. It’s like I become ‘submissive’ to that ‘sweet spot’. A receiver. An ‘allower’. How can I tell when I’m not in that ‘sweet spot’, and when I do go into ‘thinker’? It’s like the words are harder to find. The brain ‘stops and starts’, ‘stops and starts. It’s like the energy is no longer ‘flowing’, but trying to be ‘pushed’ to obtain a word or a solution / answer. And I tire easily. Free flow is effortless and it JUST flows.

Maybe that’s what is meant by ‘going with the flow’ in everyday life - not just writing. Being in the moment is allowing you to be receptive enough to receive a thought or just words, then act on them. It’s like I can get one word pop up in my head, and when I go to write, a whole sentence comes out! Eventually making a paragraph. And when the ‘message’ has been received for the moment, the words stop. I no longer am ‘connected’. It’s like - well the door doesn’t close - it remains open, but the energy ‘walks away’ - leaving me to ‘ponder’ what has been ‘said’. Having the ability to be aware that door is always open and I can call on it at any time of need - then connect once I’m at the ‘entrance’, allows me to ‘operate’ and live in the now - the present moment.

What makes me so special? Nothing. Anyone can do it. I will say, it takes practice in recognising when it’s your brain talking as to when it’s the energy (or God, as I say) is ‘connecting’.

Notice the difference - a brain talks/thinks - God connects. It’s easier for me to ‘connect’ when I am in my own space and it’s quiet or one on one. My practice for me now, is to be able to ‘connect’ and ‘hear’ the words in noisy areas with a lot more people around me. Not to be distracted by them or by my thoughts/thinking.

Thinking you ‘think’ something and ‘knowing’, is quite different.

I ask the question - Then are we really ‘puppets’? Because if we ‘act’ on the ‘knowing’ and not on our thoughts, then how is that ‘free will’? Because ‘we’ and God are one. How can you be a puppet if you are a part of me! To recognise ‘you and me’ - or in this case, ‘thoughts’ to ‘knowing’, is a separate mind. It’s the duality, it’s creating your mind verses our connection. It then becomes ‘separateness’. The whole idea is to understand the ‘I am’ concept. You no longer are ‘separate from me’ but one of the same. You are God energy. Therefore - ‘I am’.

ABOUT ME

Like everyone, I procrastinate when I know in my heart of heart, deep down - I should be working on something else - like writing. I know I’ve been told by several beings - both human and spirit - when are your books due out? My response has always been - when I write them! lol. I’m not being smart - it’s just the honest truth. I know in my heart I have a lot of writing in me, and it seems a surmountable hill, so I find other things to occupy my time - like playing Mahjong! (stop laughing! It’s simple, and I don’t have to think too much!) lol. Actually, it’s good because it’s a game I can freely allow my thoughts to pass by on some marquee style billboard in my minds eye, and I don’t have to analyse it on a conscious basis. I picture myself waving to each thought as it passes by, turn and walk away. I often thought that would help calm or slow the brain - but it doesn’t. I often think back to it and analyse it anyways. What can I say - I’m a born thinker!

I am also someone who gets sidetracked very easily! So, to ease the procrastination and the build up of energy, I try to write daily. And I say ‘try’. My internal voice begins to ‘speak’, and I am like - ‘do I have to? Not today!’ Pick up the tablet and start playing games! Sometimes the inner voice nags me til I pick up a pen and paper - like now! Other times, I manage to squash it down far enough, I no longer feel the urge. I call it - delayed gratification! To others - bone laziness! lol. But in the wise words of spiritualists - ‘when it’s meant to be, it will be’, and everything happens for a reason!

So here I am now - so it must be ready to be! Happy reading everyone! And I sincerely hope you get some message out of this, as much as I did!

Every piece of writing has a lead up story to it. The daily diary is the culmination of either the issue at hand, or the integrated question / answer I have been seeking at the time.

Like everyone, I have my up and down moments. My answers are ‘heard’ more clearly on my down moments. And I figure, that’s the true reason why we have so many down moments - so we can hear the answers. Now my practice is to hear more clearly on my up moments!

My journey has been one of seeking the Truth.
