11:11 Angels Message Board

Preparing for the extraordinary is one of the essential practices of collective wisdom. It requires clear intention and mindful preparation for achieving a greater felt sense of connection with others and spiritual forces.
Illustrating this idea with a story may be useful. The great sage, Reb Zalman Schachter Shalomi, told me once of an experience he had with his friend and colleague, Howard Thurman a distinguished African American philosopher, theologian and mentor to Martin Luther King.

Hah! You'll have to read this whole little essay to find yourself arriving at this (beginning of the) conclusion...

Preparing for the extraordinary is that effort we make, the rituals we create, the inner psychological work we do, that sharpens our intention and paves the way for something wonderful to happen.
