The principles to keep me strong, the guidelines to keep me safe, and the awareness to keep me connected to both the world and the Divine grow complicated and challenging.   There are so many resources available, one can be pulled in many directions.  It can be overwhelming when trying to decipher personal  truth.

 

It really doesn't matter how much knowledge we have to be a faithful earth student sent by the Divine.  The basic call to 'love' is so simple; but even when we seek deliberately, the Master is difficult to find.

 

We build our foundation through trial and error and it is not until it all comes undone that we begin to discover roads leading to where we are called to be.  This is not the case for every student, but  it does seem as though living on this earth creates challenge.

 

It is when we process our struggles, we get a glimpse of what is meant to be blessings as residents on this earth.  The veils pull back and we are embraced by all there is waiting for us.  Unfortunately, the curtain swings back into place and we wander in darkness traveling the spiral over again.

 

When we have the presence of mind to cast aside the search, to just let it all go and remain still, progress can be made.   In the stillness we come to realiz our search outside of ourselves never does work.  It is when we turn inward, and find the heart of Divine we bring the Master to the earth student, together in balance.
