Progressing the Soul Journey

As a spiritual teacher I am asked sometimes the best way to accelerate the soul journey. The answer is simple, but not always what the student wishes to hear.

To focus on spiritual advancement is missing the point. To do so is a subjective distraction and driven by ego; the key is to achieve peace of mind and heart through being and not doing, living simply and compassionately and doing our best. Less is more.

Certain meditative practices can help to achieve this state of calm beingness, as will time spent in nature, time without sound, observation, and detachment from thoughts and emotional response. It sounds easy, but it is not, indeed, liberation from the tyranny of the lower mind is very hard to achieve.  T

here are many gifted teachers and healers who can help point the way to the place of bliss but in the end only we can take ourselves there. If we seek it for glory or money or to feel or look good, we will be seekers forever. If we follow our heart without expectation of outcome, content just to be in the moment, truly ourselves, then we are one with the divine, and what more can we ask than that?
