The Journey

“The only journey is the one within.”
~Rainer Maria Rilke~
We are on a journey of awakening. Life, in all its various expressions, provides the opportunity to evolve through experience and introspection. Our interactions provide endless opportunities for us to delve deeper into the Self, the I Am within.
There is a very human-based tendency to get lost in the drama and miss the lessons. Some can remain mired in the intensity of the story for years or even lifetimes, and yet, awakening will ultimately happen. The journey inward takes us to an expansive place of awareness, and our task is to bring that awareness into the world of form.
Love connects us to one another. As awakening masters, our role is simply to remove anything that blocks the flow of love. Our judgments, and the fear out of which they arise, are distractions. The only thing that truly matters is the energy we share with one another. See if you can purposely leave every interaction with a lingering spark of your beautiful light.
Bless the moments that bring you greater insight. Honor each path as sacred. Do your best, act with integrity and accept what is. You are loved.

I Honor Your Path

“How would your life be different if…You stopped making negative judgmental assumptions about people you encounter? Let today be the day…You look for the good in everyone you meet and respect their journey.”
~Steve Maraboli~

Many today feel the loss of changing relationships. Polarities are becoming more extreme and excessive stories of the ego are causing people’s pain-bodies to take over in reactivity, anger or fear. Rather than focusing on perceived differences or the loss of closeness, consider that each soul is on a sacred journey.

To honor the path of another is the greatest act of love that you can give. Acceptance does not require agreement, nor is it apathy. The awakening soul understands that each of us must walk the journey of awakening in our own way.

The only thing over which you have any control is your state of consciousness. Do your best, act with integrity and accept what is. As life unfolds you may get more clarity, or not. Understanding that everything works for the collective highest good of all is a foundational belief that counsels patience and understanding.

There is far more to life than meets the eye. Be kind. Every situation provides countless opportunities to learn and evolve and, in the words of Ram Dass, we’re just walking one another home.
