"Making Sense of What is Happening!
Very possibly there is something going on in your life right now that you are having trouble accepting or where you are having trouble committing to some sort of action. Committing to an action means making a decision. This means listening to your inner self and utilizing that inner wisdom. Opening your heart to whatever is happening is the way to clarity and making the decisions necessary for taking action. If you cannot accept what is going on and you can't open your heart to embrace the sensations and the emotions of awakening, then Life will keep pushing you towards taking a step forward in your personal growth and evolution. The process begins with a gentle push. Sometimes it can seem like your way of seeing life has become antiquated, narrow or inadequate for dealing with the situation that you are facing. This way of seeing life, which we could also call your old belief system or previous way of seeing things, is often in need of an adjustment for dealing with the present situation. Making the adjustment will in turn move you towards a solution and become an opportunity for personal growth. Although it would appear to us that we move ourselves towards the things that we want, it is much more probable that we are not going anywhere and that we are creating everything right in front of us. It is more like curtains that open up and reveal a scenario that we have created or that we are creating. Whatever the situation you are going through, it is an opportunity for taking a transformational step forward. We just need to identify the purpose of each event. Whatever occurs in your life scenario is an invitation from the soul to advance in your personal evolution. The key is to make deeper sense out of what is occurring. Some of the questions that we may ask ourselves are:
- Why am I going through this? (as opposed to why is this happening to me?) - What part of me is being reflected in this external scenario? - What part of me is antiquated and in need of renovation? - Where do I go next with my personal growth and transformation? - What is the next step that I need to take in my life? How do I do it? - What part of my inner self has created this? - What is the message or gift hidden inside this situation?
After exploring and answering these questions in a relaxed and silent space, it is very possible that you will have a different perception of the situation that is occurring in your life. When you identify the purpose behind a situation or circumstance in your life, it becomes possible to align yourself with what is going on.
If no obvious answers appear for you at this time, not to worry; as you continue reading this book, we will be learning how to find answers through various practices and examples. When everything starts to make sense, the question disappears. That is part of what happens in the process of learning and personal evolution.
Adventure of the Soul is in large part dedicated to understanding the language of the soul. Life is always sending us messages and pointing to gifts in our scenarios; gifts that are there, waiting to be collected. The gift is what has the power to liberate us from any situation. It has the ability of helping us see the complete beings that we are. Once we recognize this fact we can better align ourselves with the next step that we need to take on our path of life".
