I think a lot of us can feel that we aren’t doing things “right” on our spiritual journeys. We listen to what some guru says and then apply it to our lives. But all too soon, our humanness makes itself obvious. We feel as though we’ve failed our pious instructions.
But there is no “right” way to go about your perfect journey. Your life is an original unfolding of magic that cannot be defined. For your life is revealing the infinite magic that is already in you.
Nothing can take this magic away, and nothing can make your finding it less special. You see, enlightenment is rediscovering who you have always been. And how you find yourself is completely up to you.
No one can tell you how to do it. Yes, a spiritual teacher can point out the ways that you are limiting yourself. They can help you to expand your awareness. But such expansion has nothing to do with judgment. It isn’t about analyzing what is “wrong” with you. It is only about increasing love.
You are here to open your heart to more love than you ever have before. And the way that you do so is unique. There is no other path like yours. There is only how much you want to grow.
Just by living during these accelerating times, you are being offered countless opportunities to grow with love. You are being given experiences that are both painful and glorious, and they will change your soul forever. And the only thing this growth requires is trust in your spectacular self.
You are already, naturally trusting. Just think about the trust it took for you to come here and live your human life. So allow yourself to trust, and watch it bless your life a thousand fold! Watch it give you perspective in your relationships and allow you to see the love in every human being. Let trust empower you and enable you to truly learn. Let it illuminate your experiences with gratitude because your heart is opening again.
Trust your spiritual curiosity, and you will see life for the sacred classroom it is. Find your growth reflected in the walls around you and the people you share this room with. Grow, sublime being, and let your unfolding unfold, however that happens to be. Unveil your own magic like clouds recede to blue, and then open that sky to the entire cosmos! There, you will find yourself and the answer to every question you have asked. Such is your perfect awakening and your sublime spiritual path.
Oh Suzy, how we NEED your empowering message. In some ways I wish I heard this much time ago and saved myself much soul-searching but hey, that’s not how my perfection unfolded is it? Your a total inspiration Suzy!
BIG LOVE
Aw, thanks Spence. I hope everyone reads your exquisite work. My favorite poem:

Thanks for the referring link Suzy, what a joy to think on a soul hearing my words…
What a beautiful message Suzanne. The most poignant sentence for me is “There is only how much you want to grow.” And I find that at times on our spiritual path we want others to grow with us, and when they don’t respond, then we wish and impose some conditions on them – consciously or not, but certainly energetically we do. This is a reminder to me that I choose to honor everyone on their path, the same way I choose to honor my own path. Thank you for the reminder that there is no path like mine and no path like yours. And to allow myself to trust! Truly, this comes at a perfect time! Of course, why wouldn’t the Universe bring me this message exactly when I can best hear it? Much love and gratitude!
I love how you describe putting conditions on others because they’re not doing what we’re doing/growing how we’re growing. Exactly. I think it’s funny how we expect our loved ones to remain the same as well. We want them to be safe and predictable. No, thanks! Let’s support each other to grow in our unique ways. I know we do that for each other!
I always learn something invaluable from your comments. Thank you F! Love you
My perfect journey is me rediscovering who I really am. This is amazing Suzy! All the trails and all the pain that I have experience was me running from me, but running to me at the same time. The awareness you bring is magic! It’s my spirit transforming me into my own guru because no one can tell my story like me. I pray that when we share our experience, and not opinion or theory, we help ease the pain of someone’s personal journey. All they need to do is trust the process. The journey continues..
Thanks so much for being here Vernon. This is an amazing image you paint – running from ourselves and yet running towards ourselves all the while. Extraordinary. I too deeply believe that sharing our journeys helps to ease each other’s pain. We are always paving the way for one another. And this precious journey continues, just as you say.
Vernon: I truly believe that is what all of us here in these human skins do. Yes we run from ourselves because we do not see that we are already that being that was meant to be. Having said that I also know that we are here to grow so that we do not become stagnant. As each of us grows we have more space in our lives to take on more joy, happiness, love, friendship and knowledge. It is the knowledge that opens up the next door for us to travel through on our never ending quest for knowledge, joy, happiness, love and friendship. I am reminded every day of the words written by Harry Chapin ” All my life’s a circle from sun rise to sun set.”
Each step that we take on this journey makes it our very own PERFECT JOURNEY. Set your magic free for all the world to take in and enjoy….it is all special and beautiful.
Love the circle metaphor and how you teach us to make it wider and wider. Thanks James.
I agree with you James, that we are here to grow and to overcome our destuctive behaviors so we can experience more joy, love and happiness. Self-acceptance is the first step of our perfect journey because like you said, we are already that being that we was meant to be. Thanks for the insight!
I agree so much. Self-acceptance is everything. It is behind everything we experience and what life is always asking from us. Thank you.
I may sound like thunder echoing inthe canyons…..LOVE is the answer to all of our quests. When we love we are on our perfect journey.
