The seed of freedom must be planted in the innermost being, and we must make the discovery for ourselves that it is there. Spiritual growth, similar to the choice to increase knowledge of any sort, occurs to the degree that we want to grow. The depth of our desire, our passion that we feel for wanting to know more of God, Spirit, and the nature of the Life Force that is within us, is always met with the corresponding response that supports and organizes and cultivates Itself through countless and sometimes very extraordinary capabilities within us. It is to the degree that we each honour our inner commitments that allows us to overcome resistance and obstacles. The degree to which we connect to this living Inner Force is the extent to which we change and grow spiritually.
The nature of the Thing is universal Energy, Mind, Intelligence, and Spirit. It is the Cause of everything. It finds conscious and individualized centres of expression through us. There is no difference between It and us.
Start in close. Take the step you don't want to take. Start with your own questions. Follow your own voice. Be humble.
