Why your struggles are important

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐈𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐲 𝐈𝐬 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐖𝐚𝐲!

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐎𝐟 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫-𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲

My friend, do you run away from your fear, your scare, your pain, your secret rage, your trauma or your private grief?

My friend, do emotions of restlessness, worthlessness, loneliness, dissatisfaction, despair, meaninglessness or guilt visit you in the dark, when you seem to be alone?

My friend, do you shove all your unwanted feelings under your belly, building crusts of psychological and emotional defensive fortresses?

My friend, does it haunt you when your inner conflicts convince you that you are still not enough and you try to silence and cover that up with the many things to do, things to accumulate, things to achieve, things to improve or simply being busy?

My friend, do you try to suture your broken heart, shut your restless mind & band-aid your emotional wounds to prevent the mess of humanness from oozing out to your external world, where you have only portrayed your perfection?

My friend, do you turn away from the past disappointment, failure, rejection and regret, trying to fix them and prove yourself through appreciation, validation, recognition, approval from yourself & your fellow mates?

And Oh My friend, do you finally look to the path of spirituality as a salve for everything you think is wrong with you & that holding on to the transcendence or higher vibrations will somehow land you in a place of unending ecstasy?

𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝,

Listen closely to that deepest knowing within you, a knowing that arises out of emptiness and goes back into emptiness

Welcome openheartedly your unwanted visitors that are knocking your heart from the inside, opening yourself to being naked & vulnerable to the fear & pain they carry

Experience viscerally every broken feeling that arises, with unconditional curiosity, willingness, trust for all they want is to be seen, accepted, and loved

Reject and cling on to nothing, on either sides of polarity - neither good nor bad, neither high nor low, neither positive nor negative

Surrender courageously to the deepest abyss and falling within, through the deep void pit of your belly

𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞..

These unwanted feelings, emotions, sensations - these moments of brokenness are doorways to your freedom within,

For, your shattered and wounded heart is an entrance to the place of your unconditional presence within,

For, your falling down to your knees is not a punishment but a grace from within,

For, your suffering is an invitation to connect to your Source within,

For, your darkness is the pathway of annihilation of everything you are not within,

For, it is in this moment, moment by moment, you are reborn onto yourself, creating, expressing, experiencing yourself, from within,

𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲..

You will realize, that 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐲, 𝐒𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝 & 𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐞

It was in fact, a pure act of 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐄 waking you up!

Because..

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 "𝐈𝐧" 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐲 "𝐈𝐬" 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐖𝐚𝐲!
