Bringing Heart and Mind Along

We are all just walking each other HOME.

(Ram Dass)

Everyone evolves somehow in response to life’s challenges and opportunities. The things that make us tick; the stuff that we are willing to put up with to help our loved ones. The work we do for our material comforts and security, or the mission in life we decide to embark on. Facing life’s complex choices gets us to the understanding of who we truly are. Life always encourages us to let go of stuff, but then, some things are so important to us that we willingly accumulate new karma in order to see our mission through. Accordingly, our moral compass evolves, as does the understanding of who exactly we are.

A spiritual path is a guided tour of sorts. A higher POWER encourages us to walk a PATH that brings understanding and allows us to let go of stuff. A previously unknown communication channel opens up and introduces us to a new moral compass and helps us understand who we truly are. How fast we advance hinges entirely on the emotional baggage we still carry around with us. No worries though, the WAY takes that all into consideration. No one is dragged along kicking and screaming. 

Don’t fall for the stoic hunt for the SELF. When you take on your self in the name of spirituality, your feelings will mind. There is no need for the battle of good and evil at all. Life is perfect in allowing us to bring our feelings along for the ride. GOD will bring us HOME on the fastest route possible, but the mind will only partially understand the tour, the heart has to come along too. That’s the reason why life is sometimes so convoluted. Mind and heart both have to come along.
