With so much information about the spiritual path available because of the Internet, things can be overwhelming.
How does one choose from everything?
For many people, they feel lost just in getting started.
For others, they got into lots of spiritual stuff. Plant medicines. Breathwork. Five kinds of yoga. Nine hours a day of meditation. Endless retreats. They got into too much.
Doing lots of things doesn’t necessarily help you heal and grow on the spiritual path much less to realize spiritual freedom. If you don’t know the right recipe, putting lots of ingredients into a bowl and blending them together doesn’t get you a great meal.
There’s a lot of other ways that people get lost on the spiritual path.
Seeking, But Not Knowing What You’re Seeking
“Spiritual seeker” is a common term. It can mean a lot of things, but mostly, it’s driven by suffering.
Something is upset.
Unsettled.
You know things aren’t right.
But you don’t fully know what.
It reminds me of the line from the original Matrix movie when Morpheus talks about a sliver in the mind.
Maybe it’s better to say, “a sliver in the soul.”
The problem is that spiritual seekers are guessing what the solution may be.
God?
A soulmate?
Having a purpose?
And people who don’t consider themselves spiritual are seeking medications, travel, new jobs, new partners, children, drugs, toys, and more to fill this hole inside them.
But what is really needed?
Turning Within to Unlearn Your Ego
I can tell you very easily what you’re seeking.
But you won’t really believe me until you’ve deconstructed your ego enough to hear what I have to say.
I’m speaking the truth.
The truth is not what I want to believe in.
The truth is not something I’m trying to make you believe in.
The truth has existed and will still continue to exist whether you or I believe in it or not.
Do you want the truth?
If you do, you will find it.
To do so, it starts with learning to become aware of your ego and all the experiences it is creating inside you.
