In the service of others Pt. 1

 Dear one,

One of the hardest lessens on the spiritual path was and still is how to truly be in the service of others.  

I promised I won't bore you with clichés and that we will keep it sincere so there it goes.

At first, after years of reading the good books, thinking the good thoughts and saying the right words, I thought I was and always have been good, kind and generous -  an angel walking the Earth. In a way, that was true. Was it coming from a good place? Not really. Were my intentions as pure as I thought? Not so much.

You see, from the very beginning (and I mean early childhood), I set a very important rule for the journey I was going to embark on: I must always search for the truth, no matter how hard it is to see it.

Of course, one cannot find the absolute truth, but one is responsible for his own little world and in that little world, there are lies, there are shadows and there are truths. 

                                                                                                                                                                     



 


 Light must touch them all.

I asked Divinity (whatever its form) to always guide me towards the truth, no matter how painful it might be. A North Star... a Lighthouse...

... and the Divinity delivered.  

In order to evolve, once must look inside, really look. And I tell you, if what you see does not scare you, does not break your heart and shatter your world, then you are not looking hard enough. One will eventually see the lies, the half truths ... all the mists of the soul.

Then step by step one will destroy and rebuild himself, and with time, one will be ready to learn. Eventually we see that good itself is a complex force, one that we ourselves cannot comprehend, we can only set it as a true intention ... another lighthouse on the sea. 

And when there is enough light inside, we see that it's good. We see the light trying to reach other souls and we somehow know we can help this process and that we can play a part. Not by being in charge but by stepping in when we are needed and...

... because it is beautiful.

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

Image
 Dear neighbor, When everything is going well, the sun is shining above us and we are surrounded by light in our lives, things are not always as clear as they should be. We sometimes attribute the light to the circumstances, to our surroundings, to other things and others. We rarely think where does the light come from. It is only when there's darkness in our lives that we think about the light and its source.  The dark night of the soul has a clear message. It is like  our soul has closed its eyes for a short time in order to truly connect with God, for it is only now that the source of the light can be correctly identified.  Photo by Nadiya Ploschenko on Unsplash Even   though   I walk   through the valley   of the shadow of death,   I will fear   no   evil,   for   You   are with me;   Your rod   and Your staff,   they   comfort me.   In our darkest times we need to search for the light.

The initiation

Image
 Dear, Today we should talk about initiations.  Some, in the path of mastering the spiritual arts, have searched for and obtained those so called initiations, or spiritual potions as I would call them. They just help you open up a new world within yourself, discover a bit more about yourself and even put you a bit to the test; some, might even give you an extra boost of energy and inspiration to be more dedicated to your path. But remember, no initiation is going to give you what you don't already have.- It is a process where you accept (!)  unlocking a new territory on your inner map  - it is more about letting your wall down and welcoming a new energy. What you should know is the fact that there is one initiation that really matters - the one with the divine forces. After you've done the work and put yourself together, found and finally understood yourself, after you can truly be in the present without the past holding you back, after all that you are ready to let ...

We are the gardeners of our Tree of Life

Image
Dear Gardener,      What a sad view of our beginning is to think we were thrown out of the Garden of Eden...       I dare say, we were not banished from Eden - we merely forgot the password.  Michael Dziedzic on Unsplash We did search for it since then. We discovered new continents, new species, new horizons and we even got into space but we are nowhere close to finding IT. We uncovered our history and we put the pieces together and yet... the Garden of Eden is still merely a long forgotten dream of a home.     I dare you to forget for a second what you were thought and think of yourself as being in the Garden of Eden at last... your home... The place where you are complete, nothing is missing and the love, the life, the forces of being are are more alive then ever inside you. All the terrible noise of our civilization silenced by the power of bliss... a nurturing, fulfilling infinite bliss. Everything is available, yet nothing is neede...
