Navigating the spiritual path
A shift in consciousness coupled with an altered awareness is what is happening to you. Why you? Do not seek a logical reason, there are none. In fact a major lesson on that journey would be to free yourself from bondage of logical understanding, but not before having learned to navigate the waters where you presently are.
The cause may be great pain or simply boredom, but whatever the reason, once you experience a shift in consciousness and altered awareness, the things that will help you are:
- Be happy and content with your current environment and situation to the best you can (always try to find the good in a situation), whatever it may be, Concentrate with getting your basic needs satisfied, and do not feel regret over losses.
- Be resilient towards things that are out of your control, specially negative things.
- Being satisfied and thus positive just recite this affirmation when you wake up and before you go to bed:
“Nothing stays the same forever – EVERYTHING CHANGES – my life is changing in positive ways because I am probing my true self – Dear [THE HIGHER BEINGS YOU BELIEVE IN] help me see it, feel it and help me manifest all my needs and wants on this plane”.
“My Ego is most powerful, I respect thy power, thy power lies in my hands, now I take it back and I thank you for everything”
- Start a healthy lifestyle to the best you can depending on the society you live in.
- Try to be independent for your income.
- Eliminate the need of third parties to be happy, I am not suggesting you to be a recluse, but rather to be happy and contended with your own self. If your happiness is not dependable on others, you will no longer experience sadness in any given situation, but rather you will start developing the muscles of empathy and compassion.
- Find time to meditate at least 30 minutes every day.
Getting through this phase, you would slowly feel lighter and lighter about life and it will now be easier for you to let go of your past and detach from it. Detachment does not necessarily mean severing the old altogether, but rather changing the perspective of seeing things. Although it is true that a complete change in scenery helps, it is really a subjective matter, best dealt individually.
Aiming to detach from your old self in that way will empower you with compassion and empathy.
And during this transformation, the question you will be asking yourself is: when to act and when not to act, remembering that an omission is a form of action. Believe me, it’s not as clear cut as it seems. Remember, if you truly are embarking on a spiritual path, you are aiming to understand the Spiritual Law. You will not find it in books or with Gurus etc, in fact after 23 years probing i am quite certain that in our current form (i.e. human) we can only grasp a blurred image of it. But that is what most of us can take and it will suffice to bring us up to the next level of our natural evolution.
My salutation to you all.
