And now to come back to our original question: What is the so-called Spiritual path all about? Why is there such a thing and what does it have to do with you and me?
Ultimately, the Spiritual path involves both the process of descension and ascension. However, luckily, the process of descension is already behind us – at least from a linear perspective even though from a higher perspective there is no such thing as linear past and future and all the rest. So anyway, today, in the 21st century, when we talk about the Spiritual path, we are talking about evolution. We are talking about the path of return to Source.
The process of evolution is a process of identification. At first, we identify with the physical body, then with our emotions, then with our mind, then with our personality, then with our Soul, then with our Monad or Divine Self, and ultimately we re-identify with Source and oneness. So essentially, that’s what evolution is about. And that’s what the so-called Spiritual path is all about.
In a sense, it is a process of identification and dis-identification. We dis-identify from our lower self and identify with our higher self. We dis-identify from our higher self and identify with our divine self. So, we are unrolling or evolving, and in the end, what remains, is a spark of divinity – our true identity – enriched with infinite wisdom gained from the experience of getting involved with matter, matter again just being densified Spirit.
Now what does that have to do with you and me and our daily lives?
Well, it has everything to do with it. We all have a life, right? But what is life? Why do we all have a life? And what are we supposed to do with it?
The purpose of life is to allow the divine life, to allow Divine Essence to express itself in form. And the Soul or Higher Self – or whatever you want to call it – within us lovingly pushes us on to express this essence in our daily life, whether we realize it or not. That’s the goal of evolution.
Now, sooner or later, in this life or another, there will come a moment in the life of every single person in the world where the truth of a higher plan or higher reality will start to dawn upon them. And the moment we start getting it, this is when we consciously step onto the Spiritual path.
This is when we consciously strive to express the essence of divine life in our daily life and consciousness – and so this is when the real growth happens! The moment we consciously step onto our Spiritual path, the moment we get it and start working towards it, we attain more growth in one lifetime than we did in the last, I don’t know, 100 incarnations together. So every single person in the world is on a Spiritual path, whether they realize or not, or whatever name they may want to give it. And so it concerns all of us.
Now, quite frankly, there is a lot more to all of this. Like, for example, the interplay between spirit and matter creates a magnetic field to which we give the name consciousness, and that seems pretty important too, right? But we can’t get into that today too as this is just supposed to be a quick blog, right?
