Student: I have been on many paths and I don’t feel that I almost know my true destination.
Master: It is the source that is most important. Find the right source … don’t let ego get in the way. As long as the source is right, you will eventually discover the right path.
Life doesn’t happen to you
We often look at life from the perspective that things happen to us and to us. This makes sense. After all, we are the center of our own universe. But when we look at life from the bigger perspective, we see that life does not happen ours Not at all. Things in life do not happen because you have done something right – or wrong. Instead, they happen because this is your story. In life we must trust that we are where we are meant to be, even if the road seems rocky or unknown. We must trust that we are on this path for a reason, and that this path – how unkempt it cannot be – will lead to a much greater promise. Throughout life you move from one path to another. And while you do this, you start building layers of knowing – lowers of hidden consciousness – that help you see, even if you don’t know where to look. As people we have developed this invisible wall around us that protects us against the fears and realities of daily life. However, this wall also prevents us from seeing our true potential. We are part of the sun, the moon and the stars. Every fiber from our beings is filled with energy. It is correct and moves, just as the wind blows and the rain becomes down. Nature is energy. Song is energy. Dance is energy. We are energy.
Our connection with the universal
When we start to see and understand our connection with universal energy and knowledge, we learn to break down that wall, brick by brick. We learn to let go of negative energy. And we learn to record everything that is good. In addition, we start to see our path much clearer. We sometimes still come across confusion, worries, fear and pain, but we start to see these circumstances differently. They are all part of the bigger image. And we are starting to trust that life happens as it should happen, to teach us something that we have to teach to achieve our own personal destination. So stop and rate your life. Who is in your life? What is happening right now? Can you start looking at these people and events from a different perspective? Everyone we meet is there to teach us something. Every relationship serves a goal. Have you ever wondered why the universe feels so small if you know it is so huge? For example, why did you come across an old high school friend if you no longer live near your birth city? Was it a casual encounter, or was there a reason why you connected again? Look at the bigger picture. What can that person teach you and what can you teach her? Sometimes the answers are crystal clear, and other times we have to look a little harder and look a bit deeper. Sometimes we are not meant to know the answer until the timing is correct. We are on a journey of trust and faith. The best way to find your path is to trust and trust that you are exactly where you should be.
