Anyone truly embarking along the spiritual path must quickly give up the idea that it’s easy, or especially, that it will somehow build you up into something. And it’s definitely not all ‘love and light‘ — not the true path anyway. In my experience, both of my own journey and in working with countless others, Spiritual Mastery is a shattering, breaking down process, that causes you to reconfront past-life trauma and source pain. It’s also reflective of the current state of our reality right now.
Why is that? What might you expect? How might you deal effectively with what comes up?
I’ve encountered many people who’ll tell you they’ve been “walking a particular spiritual approach for so and so years”. Yet really, when you dig below the surface, it’s clear they’re not truly Walking the Spiritual Path. Why not? What does Walking the Spiritual Pathreally mean?
It’s an all-in, total commitment, in the moment, moment-by-moment surrender. It’s definitely not about trying to get something physical. It’s certainly not intentional manifesting – who’s trying to do that? It’s mostly an ego. There comes this moment on the journey, where there’s a breaking-down sobbing commitment to the divine. A recognition that this is what you’re really here for – to be of selfless service. In this place, you’d practically starve, have everything taken from you, all relationships broken, and yet still see the beauty of it, still celebrate your inviolable connection to the divine. It’s a moment by moment commitment, to only, and always, come from your highest truth, as felt deep within your soul.
It’s like saying: I’m not going to do another dammed thing, no more wishy-washy half truths, I will do nothing unless I can feel it coming from my soul, even if I die in this place right now. In my experience, the incredible paradox is, there’s great joy in this feeling!
Why else is the spiritual path a shattering process?
