We all know someone, might even be
someone we see in the mirror daily, who has a shelf full of self-help and
spiritually themed books. Now, they probably have all been read, at least once,
after which they took a place of pride on the shelf with all the others. Now
being a spiritual guru, enlightened being, Zen master, world class pistol shot
and just a peach of a guy, I will now impart to you one of the great grand
secrets of the universe. Ready: (drum roll).....Gremlins. Here, I can prove it,
pick up any spiritual or self-help book that touched you in the past, open it
at random and start reading. Read a page or two. Go ahead, I’ll
wait………………Pretty amazing huh. How could you have missed that the first time?
Yup, gremlins. When we are not looking they add new insights that reflect our ever-growing
level of spiritual understanding. The lesson then is simple, we need to stop
looking for answers, for we already have them.
We progress by studying what has
already touched us for it touched us for a reason. Returning to that which has
sung to us in the past we are amazed that no matter how many times we may have
read it, those darn gremlins have got in there and a deeper meaning has
surfaced. This isn’t to say that nothing new can come along, but first we must
set our foundation deep by focusing on basic truths, revisiting the roots of
our beliefs regularly, observing how the gremlins have brought new luster to
that which we thought we knew and understood. Aren’t secrets cool. Gremlins,
who knew?
