Synopsis
Imagine, if you will, standing on a dark, desolate road lost and feeling quite alone. Picture yourself contemplating two ways to travel in order to get home. You are at a crossroad in your life and you must decide which way to go. One way looks dark, scary and menacing. The other way looks familiar, well lit, with the promise of reaching your intended destination. You decide to take the familiar road, and you realize this decision will lead you home. Relieved you did not have to enter the wrong road, or the dark way, you ride through the many hills and valleys before reaching your intended destination. There will be obstacles to face, even on this road, yet you are safe knowing you are headed home. Now, what if you mistakenly took the dark road? You would be lost, confused, and frightened. You would become miserable and probably panic at the idea of being lost. You would seek out someone to help you find your way home. Your journey would be a lonely, arduous struggle, and you know that if you don’t find the right person to get directions from you could be lost for a long time. Some people, unfortunately, do take the difficult road, and the ones that opt for the easy road also find themselves in difficult situations in life. We cannot escape what life dishes out to us no matter what road we choose to travel on. There will be challenges we all must face in life; some are easy and some are very difficult. Unfortunately there is human suffering in the form of tragedies, abuse, neglect, war, health problems, addictions, poverty, drugs, a sudden death in the family, and a slew of other adverse, social issues. These problems, or as I call them challenges, are inescapable, but how we deal with each challenge is within our own control. Once you realize that you have the power to control how you perceive a given circumstance in your life, you will be on your way to emotional freedom from guilt, despair, discomfort, pain, suffering, addictions, sorrow, humiliation, and the worse part, regrets from past failings, abuses or misgivings. Now imagine you are standing at the crossroad having to decide a better way to navigate on your journey and your guide introduces you to a secret, mysterious third choice. What if I told you there is another choice, a secret road that was not evident when you had to decide which way to go? I will reveal to you another choice of roads you can take that I call, The Third Road. This is the choice that was hidden when you decided which road to choose. I will show you this secret, mystical road that is the one least traveled, because of its secret nature. This road is very vague and invisible to the naked eye, yet it is strongly felt, and is waiting for you to discover the true way to go home. This road is your ticket to freedom from pain, despair, suffering, hopelessness, vices and anxiety. Albert Einstein put it so succinctly when he said, “In order to believe in the impossible, you must believe in the invisible.” The Third Road is a secret road that leads one to their inner home. It is a road where one finally steps outside the world of societal demands and steps into the world where one is directed by their inner instincts, or the spirit of God. It is a road where peace, joy and happiness awaits one, irrespective of outer circumstances. It is a road that reconnects us to our spirit within, bringing us to new awareness, perspective, and a greater appreciation for life. It is the road of truth that leads us to our home. It is the metaphoric road that leads one to a home that God had intended us to be in, where the most important thing is to love God with all your heart and soul, and to love your neighbor as we love ourselves. It is a place where truth, integrity, values, freedom, peace and love abide and words like war, hatred, judgment and prejudice do not exist. It is a place of contentment, happiness, beauty and joy abound and where fear has lost its power over you. Join me on an incredible journey.
