Greetings, spiritual seeker!
Let’s look at the word ‘seeker’ for a minute. What does it really mean to be a spiritual seeker?
It’s extremely personal and individual, but one way to define being a seeker is that we are looking to fulfill our spiritual purpose.
Someone else might say they are seeking to live on a spiritual path.
But what do those two things mean – and why does it matter?
Your spiritual purpose, which is the same as everyone else’s purpose, is to awaken to yourself as a spirit. What this means is that you are aware of who you are – and in doing so, you manifest your truth in the world. By becoming aware of yourself, you naturally start to make choices in alignment with yourself.
Here’s the critical difference between purpose and path: path is the means to the purpose!
Think of it as a literal path. If your spiritual purpose is the destination, the path gets you there.
The purpose is the ‘what’ and ‘why’. The path is the ‘how’.
Specifically, the path tells you how to access your spiritual information. Being on your path involves using spiritual tools to be centered and present, and choosing in each and every moment to be love. It means being quiet so that you can hear the still, small voice inside.
When you are on your path, you are not reactive to the circumstances of the world. Instead, you choose for yourself what your energy and intent will be, and you gracefully allow it to express around you. You become sensitive to the feelings of fear/tightening/contraction/isolation and love/expansion/relief/inclusion. You make choices because they are in alignment with your highest good.
When you are off your path, you are seeking answers from everyone and everything except for yourself. You do things because you think they will get you in alignment with yourself – when in fact, nothing can do that except for you. There is not enough doing and having that you can create that will ever be able to make up for being out of alignment with yourself. Conversely, there is no beauty or grandness that can ever compare with the light that you already contain within you.
Now – back to the reason why this is important!
You realize your purpose by being on your path.
By getting quiet, choosing love, aligning with your higher, subtler, finer states, you start to become aware of your deepest soul desires. You then are in a position to manifest those desires, because you have cleaned up your vibration to the point that you are not blocking the manifestation. You’re ready to receive your highest good.
By choosing every single day to love yourself, to hold kindness and mercy, and to keep your heart open, you allow the creative energies of the universe to run through you. As you are more and more aware of this dynamic energy flow, you become more and more able to create based upon that divine energy.
By turning within, even when everyone around you says differently, you tap into a source that is rich beyond measure, beautiful beyond measure, and abundant beyond measure.
You.
May you know yourself.
Blessings,
