Have faith in your inner guidance system. No one can teach us what we already know. We are born with the seed of spiritual wisdom planted within each of us. Our divinity is woven into the fabric of our souls. Yet at times we need a pathfinder to shed light on what lies in the darkness of our temporarily un-awakened selves. But know without a doubt that we are wise, loving and peaceful by design and let that actuality serve as our most firmly rooted truth as we progress in our spiritual learning.
Those, like me, who attempt to share spiritual wisdom are merely heralding philosophy we found that moved our hearts and felt true to our souls, and we want others to join in that rhapsody. We’ve run our lessons through the filter of our experiences, upheld what rang true for us and abandoned what did not, just as everyone needs to do for themselves.
I am not implying that time spent with a spiritual teacher, religious leader or guru is wasted. True guides awaken us to and remind us of the truth, but do not take on the responsibility of our progress. A real teacher illuminates the darkened pathway so that we may find our way along it. It is up to each of us to find for ourselves what is authentic and advance along the passageway.
We search outside of ourselves at times for guidance to set us on our course. Different teachers may show many routes, but it is ultimately up to each of us to choose the right one. Though we may look outward for direction, it is our inward gaze through meditation and heart and soul searching where we will find true wisdom. Our hearts and intuition tell us what is true.
We know more than we may have thought and we will discover that fact when we listen to our “gut reactions”. Spend time with the wise, ask questions and listen, but always check in with yourself to find if what is being shared with you is your truth.
Namaste.
