Welcome to Steemit Lindsay, there are so many diverse and wonderful people on here that I think you will definitely work towards finding the answer to your questions. We are here to create ourselves, to allow our higher self to guide us. I believe so much of what we yearn to know, we hold inside, it is finding the peace and stillness to listen. I look forward to hearing your wisdom and truth, there is so much of that being shared on here, it is a treasure to behold xxx
Your insight about holding inside that which we yearn to know reminded me of the Buddha's assertion that "The world, the origination of the world, and the path leading to the cessation of the world, all lie within this fathom-long body," meaning that we need only to study the body to find everything we need to know for liberation. As someone who has been largely disconnected from her body for most of her youth, and who tends to live in her head, I find this to be a powerful (if surprising) piece of wisdom.
I'm certainly getting the impression so far that Steemians seem to be a thoughtful and articulate bunch. So happy to have found this space! I'm looking forward to reading and hearing others' truths here too, including yours.
