Out On A Limb

I just read Shirley MacLaine's book Out On A Limb. She is a person who truly expresses her belief in that which is consciousness-based without holding back. Her open-mindedness to new ideas, her desire to question and learn, and her reflections about herself and how she relates to others, makes this a book worth reading even twenty-five years after it was first published. One of her moments of affirmation in something spiritual, beyond herself, came from repeatedly hearing the phrase along the lines of to get the fruit you have to go out on a limb from mediums during channeling sessions, friends, and the connections she made. Synchronistic? Yes, and that is the stuff we should be paying attention to.

Google this phrase and lots of new-age, self-development, and spirituality based websites come up. Maybe a bit trite, maybe even over-used now, but it is true. You do have to go out on a limb if you want to get the fruit. Sure, some trees just drop the fruit down to the ground, but then it gets wormy and bruised and maybe it is over-ripened. Much better to go out and pick your own bounty - fresh, new, and at peak.

So, do you have any plans to go out on a limb?

By the way, she has a website that is filled with lots of consciousness based services, products, and information. Shirley MacLaine website.
