Spiritual Evolution: Life is always inviting us to embrace our journey

Hi there!

Are you fighting your growth stages? Are you stuck in the circumstances and only see what you are experiencing with your human senses?

Life is always calling us forward along our spiritual journey. Our spiritual evolution is the alignment of our human genetic composition with our spiritual one. Instead of fighting our growth stages, including the pruning of traditional beliefs and personalities, we embrace them. We are to go beyond what we see to become and express who we are.

We can choose to learn from our life lessons. We can cultivate compassion, honesty, kindness, gentleness, patience, and other virtues we may be called to bring forth. We learn not to force growth, but to honor the growth process.

Honesty with oneself is one of the best virtues we can nourish within. This is a multifaceted tool we can use to guard our garden from the weeds of insecurity, judgment, and superiority. We realize that we do not have to honor the world’s expectations. Instead, we allow the Indwelling Spirit to work through us. We listen to its matter-of-fact Voice. We begin to trust it and to access it.

When we embrace, embody, and nourish honesty, we do not fool ourselves. If it looks like a weed—negative patterns of emotions, then it probably is. We uproot it without hesitation. We are wiser and know that it can appear to be a fruitful flower.

We aren’t afraid to address anything that can dull our honest intentions. We face ourselves daily and guide our thoughts toward peace, knowing that honesty nourishes health, harmony, and inner peace.

When we are honest with ourselves:

1. We observe storms instead of getting caught up in them. Emotions are fleeting, and we refuse to let them be our guides through life.
2. We limit our expectations of others and keep it where it belongs—on the Divine within. We understand the power of unhealed wounds and the individual revelation all of us have to experience in our own way, space, andtime.
3. We admit our errors and seek to correct them. Apologies become more than saying, “I’m sorry.” They become the light that we need to dig deeper for weeds–persistent negative emotions.
4. We realize that no guardian is ever free of weeds, including our own.

Spiritual evolution will not look pretty. It does not seek awards or recognition in any form. It is a process for all of us and how you experience it has a lot to do with what you are willing to accept and reject. Honesty is one of the best tools to help us along the way. It nourishes us from the inside out, guards against pests and weeds, and stabilizes our foundation.

How do you guard against negative emotions? How has being honest with yourself and others helped you along your spiritual journey?

Make this lifetime great, for the power to do so exists within you.
