Walking Our Path

There are no hands to be held on the path to enlightenment, the journey to achieving inner peace can not be accomplished with external attachments because this only draws us further away from ourselves.

People come into our life for a reason teaching us valuable lessons that we must learn so that we can become a better living being. Unfortunately most often fail to recognise this, they choose to get drawn into external chaos, often with a self cherishing mind taking everything personal, with a endless need for cravings and desire.

We are not here to accommodate and live a life of performance, we are here to learn and grow. We take nothing with us other than our knowledge and experiences, everything else must and will be left behind. The idea that we are here to have a good time and enjoy worldly pleasures is just our deluded state of mind, these things are only sensory experiences and do not fulfil the true depths of our internal self.

Many choose to be distracted by external entertainment for the sake of wanting life to be easy, but occupying our mind with distraction is removing us away from the real reality of who we really are. Facing ourselves in the depth of silence and stillness can be very uncomfortable and overwhelming because we start to hear and see things that are not always pretty, but we cannot grow in a state of being comfortable. Growth isn’t obtained throw sitting back and being relaxed. You cannot get to the top of a mountain without going through intense physical and mental training or you will never make it to the top, this is the same with our spiritual development. The path to enlightenment is not designed to be easy, and the further we run away from looking internally, the more suffering we will experience.

When we learn how to live in mindfulness, this is when we become unshakable. We then become able to live in the present moment with the simplest of things, having nothing but gratitude and appreciation for what we have.

When we master the ability to detach, then we can start to truly master ourselves.

Sending love, light, and positivity.
