Life Finds A Way - Cynthia Ambriz
Introduction
You came here to share your gifts.
The first time I heard Rev. Michael Bernard Beckwith, founder of Agape International Spiritual Center in Los Angeles, say those words, I thought he was talking to everyone else in the sanctuary except me. It is not always easy to accept that we have a purpose, and that part of our purpose involves sharing our gifts. In my case, there were numerous things that prevented me from accepting his statement as my reality. To start, I wasn’t brought up in an environment that affirmed this. In fact, the person I was when I first heard those words had been molded by my surroundings. I had believed that I needed to behave a certain way to be loved. This meant to do what others said, but not as they did. This meant not rocking the boat. This meant taking the abuse and then saying, Yes
and Thank you
after it all.
This meant that hearing about my innate gifts, and the subsequent spiritual development classes I took as a result, was all new for me.
The beautiful thing about Life is that it invites us – on a regular basis, through various experiences – to question the things we believe to be the truth about who we are and to challenge them. For example, I was a very outgoing child who conversed easily with people of all ages and backgrounds. By the time I was in my late thirties, I felt like a feral cat. I wanted to be invisible; I didn’t want to be seen as I moved through life, let alone spoken to. It wasn’t until I was in my mid-forties during my Practitioner Studies Program (more about this later) that I stood up to the belief that I was shy and terrified of public speaking. Life showed up with the perfect set of circumstances that enabled me to transcend that belief and the resulting behavior.
What if one of my innate gifts was my ability to share, connect, and interact with people unapologetically as demonstrated when I was a young child?
Although life circumstances had caused me to become shy, fearful, and apprehensive, this same life was beckoning me to my true self. The statement Life is for me
– something that Rev. Michael says often – was beginning to make itself a permanent resident in my awareness.
How I viewed myself began to shift even more when I attended an Energy Codes workshop with Dr. Sue Morter, international speaker, Master of Bio-Energetic Medicine, and Quantum Field Visionary. During the workshop, Dr. Morter asked the audience, How many of you had absent parents or deal with feelings of abandonment?
I slowly turned to scan the room and about 80 percent of the individuals had raised their hands. I felt safe to slowly lift mine. The next thing Dr. Sue said really grabbed and held my attention. Big souls come in for big lessons and they usually get started right away. If you didn’t have a father or a mother or both, it’s because you are a very big soul who didn’t need them,
she said. After hearing her speak those words, I immediately thought, Is it possible that all the suffering I have experienced in this life was not some unfortunate random set of events but something that was deliberate and purposeful? Am I one of the big souls she is referring to?
Instantly, my entire life flashed before my eyes. Although my biological mother and father were not around much, I had always been blessed with the presence of incredibly wise people in my life. Spirit always brought people into my life who loved and encouraged me.
Dr. Sue also teaches a concept she calls The Bus Stop Conversation.
She describes it as the cosmic bus stop where we stand in line and wait for the bus that will bring us to Earth. While at the bus stop, souls strike up conversations and ask each other, What are you going to Earth for?
A soul might say they are going to Earth for a level 10 experience in forgiveness, which would require someone to do something ‘terrible’ that that soul would need to forgive. This lifetime would require an entire cast of characters to play out the various roles, all with the assignment of helping that individual soul learn forgiveness. As the conversation continues, individual souls begin to sign up for the different roles that will help the soul accomplish its mission. Someone gets cast as the father who might be an abusive alcoholic. Another soul volunteers to play the role of the unloving mother, and so on, and so on. This book is a story about my level 10 bus stop conversation and how it has and continues to play out here on Earth.
Part of my bus stop involved experiencing Multi-Focal Motor Neuropathy – a medical condition where the immune system attacks the motor nerves. I would feel extreme weakness in my body and there were times when I’d lose mobility in my hands, arms, and legs. This condition has been part of the catalyst for my journey and quest to healing physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
I’ve been exploring the full spectrum of this human journey. I was the individual in our family who everyone turned to in his or her time of need, a pattern that repeated throughout much of my life. In and of itself, there was nothing wrong with being the person my family relied on; however, it became an issue when I began to neglect myself to serve
