The Uncertainty of the Spiritual Path

 

Life gives us only & exactly what we need to know, to learn the next lesson.⁠ ⁠

This can include leading us to believe (𝘸π˜ͺ𝘡𝘩 𝘰𝘢𝘳 π˜₯𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘴𝘡 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸π˜ͺ𝘯𝘨!) that we have found β€œthe one,” that we have finally found our β€œlife purpose,” or other forms of certainty that lead us to COMMIT to something…⁠ ⁠

So that we can learn from it.⁠ ⁠

This can be especially difficult to comprehend, when life has given us all the signs that we are on the β€œright track” - but that track ends up leading somewhere unexpected or painful.⁠ ⁠

In these moments it can feel like God is cruel.⁠ ⁠

We may question the higher intelligence and whether she truly has our best interests in mind.⁠ ⁠

We return to the innocent question of, WHY?!⁠ ⁠

Why me?⁠

Why this?⁠

Why now?⁠ ⁠

And yet these moments are undeniably, always the most transformative.⁠ ⁠

Amidst the pain & confusion, we are forced to meet ourselves.⁠ ⁠

We are brought to our knees to experience the true meaning of surrender,⁠ ⁠

And upon rising from the ashes once again, we are given an opportunity to recognize what it’s all been for ✨β
