…No one can convince you to walk the spiritual path, if you feel the longing for truth, to grow and evolve, you need to walk it, and there is no other choice. No one can ever survive on the real path if they are not rooted in the absolute understanding that there is simply nothing else for us to do here and nothing more important for us to dedicate our lives to.

It’s as simple as that.

Facing boredom, lethargy and dullness

The boredom of everyday life, the emptiness that human life sometimes seems to reflect, cannot be overcome or eliminated by any quick fix. If we know our life is headed in the right direction, that our energy and efforts are put into that which is truly valuable and which nurtures us, if P1060484-2we prioritize feeding our soul and focus on filling our heart with beauty, then we have the patience to endure times of creative dryness, moments of dullness, as well as challenges of pain and loneliness.

But if our bucket of life has a hole in it and if we neglect our most precious inner calling for spiritual nourishment, then no good reasoning and no cool ideas and quotes can help us. These can only give us an illusion that we are still on the path,…a deceiving illusion, while we are numbly drifting away from our goal, swayed by circumstances and lack of commitment.

 

Strengthening Truth not illusions

We love to hear that it is all part of the big plan, that there are no mistakes, no wrong turns on the paths, that its all the path, its just one path, to long to be reassured that everything is ok and we are all taken care of. This is the ultimate excuse for laziness, and perfect justification for insincerity.

We must make sure not to make use of our so-called spiritual beliefs against our greater good.
