Eddie Albert: Be the Boat

Noise. Outward intrusions. Nuisances. There will always be a steady flow of these.

 

These offenders have their own current, their own steady stream. You can swim in this current if you choose to. Be submerged too, that’s up to you. I myself might recommend the rise above approach. Sure, you can float. You can also board the boat, give yourself a little more room, a more elevated perspective.

 

It really is quite simple. There is a force outside of yourself, a give and take, an ebb and flow. This is relative to your human, spiritual growth. What is this showing me? What is coming to the surface to be acknowledged and released? This might be a hard task if you are busy treading water…

 

Be the boat. Find your cruising speed and set the throttle.

 

 

 

 

Channeled message from Eddie Albert. Edward Albert Heimberger was born on April 22, 1906 in Rock Island, Illinois. He had an amazing career in theater, movies and television, Green Acres was always a favorite of my grandparents! What stands out most to me though is his military service. Eddie was a spy for U.S. Army Intelligence in Mexico in the late 1930’s disguised as a clown and a high-wire trapeze artist with the circus! Eddie took photographs of the German U-boats hidden in Mexican harbors and surveyed the enemy’s naval activity before the U.S. military joined the war. The Battle of Tarawa in November 1943 made Eddie a hero. While in the U.S. Navy Reserves Albert was a landing craft pilot. During the battle, Eddie ignored orders and steered his boat into heavy enemy machine-gun fire. He personally pulled 47 stranded Marines out of the water and organized the rescue of 30 more. There is so much more to Eddie’s story, he was a true humanitarian in every sense of the word. Eddie, thank you for your service.
