[What did I learn today? Lessons on the Journey to Unconditional Self Love] Trusting the Light

To trust the light you need to be honest with yourself and with others, and
you need to let others be honest with you. That's what the spiritual path
is really about--it's the interior devotion to self-knowledge. " You commit
to becoming fully honest; to doing what's right for the people you live
with and for your community; and to doing what's right for your body. So
when your body says, "Don't eat this," you stop. If you tell your body
you're going take it out for a walk, you do it. Because if you can't be
honest with your body, you're not going to be honest with anybody else.

A woman at the mall yesterday asked me if I was religious and believed in
God! I took a few seconds to respond because it is not the first time I
have been asked that question! So after we got to talking and I mentioned
to her how I feel about the entire thing, I remembered that someone even
told me earlier this month that they realized that I have now chosen the
Spiritual Path so it seems that I am confusing the living daylights out of
people, they cannot figure out what I am doing, which makes me chuckle
really.

Caroline Myss's work to me is seminal, I absolutely love how she breaks
down the journey and one of my favorite descriptions of the spiritual path
is " it's the interior devotion to self-knowledge" and trust me when you
are devoted to self-knowledge you have no time nor desire to run after,
fret or worry about arbitrary matters that do not relate to you and being
your absolute happy highest self, whatever they are, this journey requires
constant learning and unlearning, it requires reflection, honesty,
authenticity, discipline and release of ego, it confuses people ( as you
can tell) and you have to be OK with that.

For me, one of the most disappointing things is not honoring myself, and
letting myself down. As a function of the constant journey within, people
do not have the power anymore to offend nor disappoint me as much as before
as you are focused on creating the life that you desire. It is a
fascinating journey some times one has to go alone!

So, here it is people, I admit, the journey to unconditional self love is
an interior one, and that is all!

Peace
