You are that
which you are seeking.
Saint Francis
To define myself, I have frequently used the word 'seeker'. I have been an avid reader from an early age, always having a thirst for knowledge. Even if I disbelieved in something, I would explore the subject so I would know exactly why the information was not congruent with my thinking.
THE BOOK OF AWAKENING by Mark Nepo states: "Seeking in the world has always been a way to mirror to us where we need to work inwardly." This certainly gives one pause.
The need to pay attention to where we place our awareness once again becomes important. To recognize where our attention gathers, we are given reflections as to what is really needing healing or recognition within ourselves.
Where do we use our energy, how do we use our energy, and in what way do we restore our energy also become important questions. It is important for us to align our energies for freedom to explore our issues.
Many times I have heard friends say, "I don't know what is bothering me. Something is just eating away at me." If this is the case, friends need to prioritize how they are using their energies. Are they spending enough time on personal quests or is all of their time being allotted to work projects or family responsibilities.
The longing for healing and wholeness resides within all of us, but these yearnings are often disguised as challenges. Awareness will give us clues as to how to identify and address the necessary issues in our personal and spiritual lives.
Seek and ye shall find ...
Matthew 7:7
