Is that my path, the one for me? Are they mile markers ahead to see? Will the mist lift? Will the sky clear? Are there storms to fear?
Will I make it through? Will I be strong? Talk to me spirit, guide me with your song.
Finding your way in life (finding your purpose in it, knowing what to do, making it meaningful) is your most fundamental quest.
Your constant companion in this journey is a silent voice inside – your spirit.
It becomes quieter the louder you speak and the louder you get vested in our external circumstances. It comes to the forefront again when you make room for silence and contemplation.
A strange companion – one that maybe entirely fabricated by the chemical and neurological reactions in your brain, or based on your memories and cumulated past experience … On the other hand, it maybe an insight into a wiser version of yourself.
Experience and intuition urge us to adopt the latter explanation.
That inner voice invariably guides you towards the right thing to do. It makes you feel uncomfortable when you are out of synch with your true self. It connects you to a vaster, deeper energy, one you recognize intuitively as truth and peace and balance. It helps you connect to a better version of yourself.
Yet attuning to it is something you fight with on an every day basis either consciously or unconsciously. You resist being drawn into that temple of silence because you are unable to sit still. You are restless from all the nervous energy you have absorbed from your frenetic life.
You think sitting still and listening to your inner spirit will cause you to morph uncomfortably, to grow in ways that may be painful to you. You dare not bare yourself to the things you need to outgrow. At a fundamental level you are afraid of losing the self you know and afraid of what you might become
The only way you can change your circumstance is if you dare change. Take the plunge.
Sit quietly for five or ten minutes a day and meditated on goodness, on god, on spirit, on scripture, on a positive or inspiring thought, on the issues you want to advance, on the peace you want to experience, on the strength you want to possess, on the fearlessness you seek.
What you meditate on is your prerogative.
Five to ten minutes..twice a day..for a week..to reacquaint yourself with your spirit.
