Welcome to the "Real" World

Walking on a spiritual path is a way to a new reality. Have you ever wondered why there are so many conflicts and struggles in our life?  If we observe carefully what is going on, we can find that we all live in an artificial, mind-made world - a fantasy world really. We accept "reality" as is, yet we never question whether our believe system has caused it. Instead we think there must be something wrong about us when we are not able to meet the expectation society has set up for us.

 We never question our role in society. Like robots we go and do our job day in, day out, apparently not questioning whether we are happy or not. One day we may have "made it", actually fulfilling the expectation society has for us. However, we can never get the peace, happiness, love, joy and abundance we are dreaming of. Until that blessed day when a new soul connection opens up. That's when the spiritual path starts in actuality.

The "real" world is wild and full of energy!  It doesn’t care much about the rules and regulation of our society. It invites us to thrive in it. As a spiritual traveler, we are most excited when we get a glimpse of this new world! A new, authentic life is waiting. We eagerly experience everything life brings our way, regardless whether it is up or down, happy or sad. We live intensely in success or failure, health or sickness. Drop all your expectations and discover the magic that is waiting for you.
