When we know, who walks beside us, on this path we have chosen, our fears fall from us.

Planting Our Spiritual Garden




When we first begin our spiritual journey in earnest embracing definite and consistent spiritual practices is an important fundamental. These set times and forms provide a foundation and the necessary discipline on which we build. In good time, as we become more adept, many of the simple guidelines and structure we began with will naturally fall away. This happens with no thought or conscious effort on our part, so if you are asking yourself if it’s time to change your process, it is not. When it is time for change it will happen naturally, if we are asking the question, then we are attempting to hasten the process, which is not possible. Think of it this way: when we plant a garden would we expect the plants to grow and mature to our time table? Of course not, nor would we foolishly attempt to harvest our crop before it was ready. The application of water, sunlight, nutrients, coupled with our diligence in the quick removal of pests all affect the health and stability of our garden and size of its bounty.

Our spiritual growth is just like all other natural growth in that it is affected by numerous factors. So, we tend our spiritual garden diligently but refuse to concern ourselves with timing, focusing instead on the work before us this day. In time the fruits will present themselves at exactly the perfect moment of awakening.

What sets our Spiritual garden apart from others is it is eternal and will continue to give forth nourishment unabated as long as we keep our eyes on the Miraculous, the true source, avoiding the temptation to pull our crop up prematurely to check the roots for signs of progress. Remaining diligent, but patient, soon we will find that our understanding and demonstration has reached new heights, our Spiritual garden blossoming as we cultivate still greater faith and service, becoming closer, day by day in thought and deed to Divine Love toward all, the true demonstration of our coming of age spiritually.
