One of my favorite questions I get asked is, "why when I start my spiritual journey it feels like my life is falling apart?"
All of our lives we find ways to survive and to live. Some of us learn to live in drama, some of us become cold and hard, some of us have multiple masks we wear around different people, some of us have a hard time even getting through the day with out medication or drugs.
We all learn a way to survive in this ego driven world and as we try to reach a higher spiritual self the illusion of what we have become is transparent and begins to fall apart. We then can choose to move forward or try to build up who we were/are.
Suddenly we begin to view people differently, we see people in a more transparent way. It sometimes makes it harder to maintain relationships and stay in old relationships that hold us back. When we begin our spiritual journey it is often because we want to become better people. As the journey moves forward and the falling apart slows down you start to notice a better reflection of who you are becoming by those that are around you. The negative begins to vanish and become less frequent.
Sometimes deaths, disease and upsets all happen at once when you start this journey. It's like we say, "hey we want to grow spiritually throw everything you got at me." Though this is not a conscious thing the faster you push to get to this point the more things will happen to show you how strong you are. Always ask for growth with a mind prepared to do battle and heal. That is it you know, the healing part is part of the growth.
We are always going to be human and have good days, bad days. We will have days when we royally screw shit up and I have to say that we need to breathe through that and remember it's okay. But when you feel like your world is falling apart, it's just so you can build something stronger and more beautiful.
Trust in your journey.
How is your garden growing?
