Discovering Truth within Perceived Failure
Spiritual Awakening – Food for the Soul
In our journey towards the spiritual awakening of who we are and why we are here on planet earth, there can be moments of feeling a complete and utter failure. In any given situation, when you feel that the only steps you are taking are giant steps backward, it is certainly not the time to beat up on yourself. This is the moment when you stop and take a step sideways.
Stepping sideways allows you to overcome any appearance of failure. How? By giving yourself a little breathing space to find the point of Truth within the situation.Ask yourself, ‘What is the reality or truth in all of this?’ You may like to begin with the physical truth – who is involved, what are the circumstances, what seems to be the physical outcomes – but do not sit in this for long! Time to then move into the mental truth of the situation – what are my thoughts, how am I judging the situation – and if necessary, write these down so as to be able to get them out of your head. Once again, do not sit in this for long! And now comes the big step of finding your way into the Spiritual Truth.
Focusing on Spiritual Truth, you are no longer stepping sideways but taking a giant leap forward in your spiritual awakening. This is true food for the soul. So, what is this spiritual truth? The truth is that Spirit is always there with you no matter what situation you may find yourself in. No matter how big the chasm feels, no matter how high the mountain rises before you.
Regardless of appearances, you look for the Truth – that point of Truth, that point of light which is the Spirit within. To do this, you simply become still, close your eyes, quiet your mind, and allow Spirit to flow within you and through you. There is nothing for you to do – no words to say, no thoughts to think, no action to take! As you rest in this space, the clouds of failure will clear, and the light of Spirit will appear. No matter how dim the light may be in the beginning, through continuous focus throughout your day, it will grow brighter, and the next steps to be taken will be revealed.
