Navigating the Spiritual Journey: Embracing Self-Realisation

Dear Soul Family,


Today, I would like to share a profound realisation that unfolded during the early days of my spiritual journey. It was a moment of clarity that made me recognise how I had veered off my true spiritual path. The creeping influences of spiritual ego and expectations had taken root in my life, and I was either simply unaware or in denial.


The ego, with thoughts like "I know better because I've been on this spiritual journey for a few years now", had subtly made its way into my sub-conscious. I started to think of myself as a "senior member" of the spiritual community because I had successfully used spiritual tools and techniques in my life. This led me to hold back, fearing that if I shared my failures, others might question their own path and feel discouraged.


The weight of expectations was another burden I had unknowingly carried. I believed that having learned and practised spirituality, my perspective was somehow elevated compared to those who weren't on a similar journey. I expected people to respect my views simply because of my spiritual background.


However, yesterday, during my morning journaling, I confronted myself with some tough questions.

Was this really the life I wanted to lead?

The flood of emotions was overwhelming, and I couldn't help but cry. I felt unworthy and ineffective on the path of light. It was as if I needed to hide myself away.


But as the next day morning unfolded, there was a significant shift in my perspective. I decided to own up to my imperfections and flaws. It made me realise the importance of periodically checking our progress on the spiritual journey. Are we really heading in the right direction? Is our inner compass still pointing toward the light? It struck me that a true guru, a spiritual guide, is often the one who can provide much-needed guidance during these moments of self-realisation.


I bow down to my spiritual guides, and I extend my gratitude to you, my soul family, for being part of this transformative journey with me. 🙇‍♀️


In the ever-evolving voyage of spirituality, may we find the strength to embrace our true selves and continue walking the path of light, humbly and honestly.


With love and light,

Rima
