Finding Meaning Along the Way

We all have a mission. We have our notion of what it takes to be truly happy, so go after your dreams tiger. Trust that the Tao will find you a way to get what is meaningful to you, just as She will patiently explain to you why perhaps something is not in your best interest after all. For the spiritual path traveler there is no coincidence - there is also no luck either -  everything just happens the way it is meant to in order to help you find your Self.

There are authentic and there are artificial needs. There are also appropriate ways of getting your dreams fulfilled just as there are inappropriate means of reaching your goals. So in the worst of all worlds you try fulfilling your artificial needs with inappropriate means, just as in the best of all worlds you will fulfill your authentic needs with appropriate means. You don't have to read spiritual books in order to find out which is which, let life - the Tao - teach you that. You will also find that for your authentic needs you don't really need to do anything. Just let the Tao open your eyes and see that everything you possibly wish for you already have.

Never question the needs and desires of others. You simply don't know what someone else's mission is. You go after what is important to you. If things happen to you that seem meaningless or random know that you are still not entirely synchronized with the Way. It is ok, just wait. One thing you can be sure of, if you want to know why something is meant to happen the way it is, just ask. She will always let you know. For a Tao master everything, down to the movement of the eye lid of the soul sister sitting opposite to you, will make sense. But it takes a while to get to that stage. And even a master isn't always perfectly connected. But the master knows that if she needs to, she can always connect with the Tao, moment by moment.

The life mission of a spiritual trveler is to find the Way. In a multi-year apprenticeship, conscious and subconscious belief-sets are being synchronized and put in harmony. The Tao is the most patient and most benevolent Teacher in the world. You cannot help spotting the red trail on the ground unless, of course, you have your eyes set on the horizon. You may ask why some people are "agnostic" when the divine message is so obvious for everyone. Well, let others fulfill their life mission just as you fulfill yours. Some people have to run after the perceived gold that shines on the horizon. It's ok. Just let them run past you while you follow the freedom trail. Desires disappear naturally as you experience bliss and while being connected to the Tao you know that in your world everyone prospers.
