Don't Look for a Zebra

When I initially began learning to perceive Spirit, I searched for something clear and unmistakable—like the proverbial zebra in the landscape. During meditations, I concentrated on finding an obvious sign of Spirit (a zebra), but all I ever encountered were beautiful orbs of light. Consequently, I would finish each meditation questioning why I couldn't connect with Spirit.

Eventually, I enrolled in a class titled Learning to Connect, where my instructor clarified that rather than searching for a zebra, my messages and connections would be ethereal, and I should concentrate on the scenery behind the zebra.

I quickly realized that the connection with Spirit had always been present—I simply hadn't noticed it because I was searching for a zebra among antelope. It turns out that the orbs of light I repeatedly saw during meditation were Spirit, and they had been with me all along!
