The natural tidal flows of our spiritual unfolding can be disconcerting. Typically it happens when our life is
going well, we feel connected, in Source, not a cloud on the horizon
and then seemingly out of nowhere a sense of being disconnected, out of
sorts, edgy, stuck with clouds of discontent seemingly obscuring our vision.
Consider: Most buildings today rest on a concrete foundation. It
would be a foolish builder indeed who attempts to build on wet cement.
They wait for the concrete to “cure”, to become strong enough to support
the construction to come. Just as a builder cannot begin
construction on the next floor until the underlying construction is
sufficiently sound, the same holds for our spiritual growth. Our
consciousness is a mufti-story construct and just as in the
modern skyscraper, it is built one floor at a time. If we succumb to the
adversary fear and morbid reflection becomes dominate the underpinnings
of our new and expanding
consciousness will be weakened before they have had sufficient time to
“cure”, to be fully
digested and integrated. The result could lead to a complete collapse of
our peace and serenity, a crisis of faith realized. Remember this
truth, often a cloudy day is just a cloudy day, but the sun is always
shining above the clouds.
The construction of our spiritual awakening is a never-ending process, a
structure of infinite wonder and truly unlimited size and scope. In those inevitable times of seeming no
growth, perceived lack of progress or discontent, take heart. Stay
consistent in action and soon the current level
of work will become fixed, the lessons learned in truth, written on our
hearts, ready to be built on anew. Be consistent in that which has
brought you to this point but do not rush for rushing spiritually leads
only to setbacks at best and collapse at
worst.Work steadily and consistently but avoid struggle, allow the process to happen
naturally and never forget the chief architect and building inspector
are one in the same.
