I was responding to a post this morning on Facebook about expanding and advancing oneself spiritually when it became apparent to me that maybe some have the wrong concept on what the outcome is.
I got the impression that some people believe that if they cross all their T’s and they dot all their I’s and they genuflect in the morning upon rising or read their Torah faithfully every evening that they will advance to a point in their lives where they will never have troubles, obstacles, challenges or pain.
I totally understand where that idea comes from cause it wasn’t too long ago I thought and believed that way myself. However, experience has taught me wisdom. It slowly began to dawn on me that as I learn & grow, walk my talk and be a living example of my truth that it wasn’t the outside experiences that began to change. It’s what was transforming within me that was different.
The world would always have its obstacles & challenges & pains & traumas & dramas but what would be different is our perception of what was happening. The reaction we had to what was going on around us. I find that I now laugh at so much of the drama I see where as I use to cry me a river that seemingly never ended. I saw for myself that if I didn’t add my negative energy to what was happening, it didn’t have nearly the impact it use to. I can see the illusion for what it is AND I know that it’s not always going to be this way. Situations change. Life is always changing. Nothing stays the same.
The best example I have of this little post of mine is to remind you of one of the greatest Masters ever… Jesus Christ. If ever a human/spiritual being had all the answers, it was this man. Inspired? No doubt. Wise? Beyond words. More spiritual than I could ever hope to be. And yet he was horrifically crucified. He did not escape the pain of this world and the human part of His Trinity asked…Father, why hast thou forsaken me? Yet the spiritual part said… Father, forgive them… they know not what they do.
