I’ve been sharing just a bit of my spiritual experiences lately and some of what’s behind these posts. So much of what I’ve experienced is either difficult to put into words or wouldn’t be understood unless it’s been experienced. It’s rather like trying to describe what popcorn tastes like if someone has only had oatmeal their whole life. I know because there was a time when I knew nothing but oatmeal too. I simply had no reference point for anything else…until I did. The problem is that we believe we can understand these things by reading them in a book or because someone told us they are true. That they can be understood apart from actual experience.

That’s why I often say to go within because it was by doing this that I started having these inexplicable experiences and realized that this is what I had been searching for my entire life…in everything. I just didn’t know where to look. I didn’t know that it wasn’t “out there” anywhere; I carried it within me all along. After this, I began to see what it really means to understand.

A deep spiritual path isn’t all tip-toeing through the tulips. There are a lot of very profound challenges and deep shifts along the way. The difference is that when you have these challenges, you are given all you need to meet them. Sometimes this is a relatively quick process, and other times, it can seem to take a long time. When these shifts take place, you see things very differently, which can be a bit disorienting at first. It can feel strange in the beginning, but as you keep going, at some point, you realize that this new way now feels more natural than breathing.

For those experiencing profound challenges right now: I can tell you that I experienced some very, very difficult things for some time before I began looking within. I now see that these were a blessing as they were the catalyst that began this inner search.

There IS a place of perfect peace within, and there’s nothing more important than finding it.
