Believe, Listen, Love, Trust

Sometimes I feel I have nothing to say or nothing to write about it.  And then I take one step forward.  I write one word.  And then I wait for the next word.  I write one sentence.  And then I write the next sentence.

Step by step, I work at my writing.  My screenplay and my blog are not cut from whole cloth but woven together thread by thread.  Word by word.  Sentence by sentence.

The Spiritual path is also walked step by step.  Most of us do not arrive in this world fully actualized, fully knowing what it is we are suppose to be doing here in this crazy wonderful world.  We have to dig for the answer.  We have to dig deep within, sifting through the dust and rubble of our past to find the gold nuggets that are within us.

Believe, Listen, Love and Trust are good companions to take on a Spiritual journey.  Believe is the magic spark that starts the journey.  I started on my path because I believed there was more waiting for me.  I believed that I had a part to play in this drama we call Life.  Believe is the spark and fuel that feeds the fire within.

But to continue on our Spiritual path we need to have more inside than just believing in ourselves.  We need guidance.  And to find that guidance you have to look within and Listen.  Be very still and Listen.  What do you hear?  Do you hear anything or are you unable to hear because your mind is chattering away?

If you are unable to hear your guiding voice embrace this information for this is what you need to know.  This is where you are right now.   You can’t change and grow unless you know what needs to be changed.  Love your shortcomings.  Love your flaws.  For within them you will find your greatest strength.

Love is the key to unlocking the door to your True Self and Trust is the Divine Answer.   In order to grow on our Spiritual Path we must embrace our Shadow.  Those traits that you cannot stand in others will be found within yourself.  Love and Forgive yourself for not being Perfect so that you can Love and Forgive others.  This is the path we all must walk.

In my opinion the hardest lesson to learn is to Trust.  We cannot know the Divine Spirit intellectually.  God(dess) is not found in our heads but in our hearts.  We must learn to Trust our experiences with the Divine.  We must learn to Trust that everything is connected, that the wings of a butterfly in a rainforest can effect change on the other side of the world.  We must learn to Trust that small voice that speaks within our heart.  We must be able to trust that voice when the world tells us we are mad, for when the world is insane, sane people will appear to be mad.

Believe, Listen, Love, and Trust, for you are a Child of the Divine Source.  The Answers and the Way are within you.

Namaste,
Swan
