There’s a duality evidenced within our spiritual awakening. At first, a fateful glimpse – a moment in which all bias is suspended. We feel ourselves coming alive. And, thinking bliss our only destination – we pause, wishing it never to be lost again.

But, that clinging offers a shadowed betrayal. We feel trapped by the very object of our will – our breath quickening as we struggle for release. How can a joy share anything but peace?

Author, Andrew Holecek writes,  our spiritual experience can likewise be “the sweetest honey covering the sharpest hooks.” And we must remain mindful as we distinguish the two;

Don’t get me wrong, finding joy is a wonderful thing.  Though, we must be willing to recognize  complacency, as the true spiritual path is never-ending. It is expansive and always unfolding. When we become complacent, we lose our ability to remain open to newer joy.

A little something to consider, my sweet friends…

In peace…

Namaste ❣
