My Path to Re-Developing Spiritual Connection
Inspiration and Story
I am both an analytical person, and an intuitive person. At some point in my life, I chose to put the intuitive aside, and to go with a straight analytical approach.
That was for the most part, because at some point I was dissatisfied and uncomfortable, within, and a friend guided me back to using tools to develop my spiritual understanding and intuition.
A Desire to Pursue the Rise to Consciousness
At night, before going to bed, I would take a quiet moment to read and study spiritual texts, and to practice gaining wisdom from the intuitive side of myself.
It wasn’t a formal practice, I didn’t even realize that this process would lead to years of attempts to gain understanding. I was simply pursuing what made me feel better, what gave me hope and inspiration, and understanding.
Over and over, certain pages of text or certain images or stories would come up again and again, and I would read and reason, and try to understand.
Some of these images and stories dropped away, some took me years to comprehend, some I am still exploring in their layers of meaning.
In accessing the meaning, having it come into my understanding, it was often as if the spiritual was stored in a vault of my own unconscious, one that would require repeated and consistent effort to reveal.
Even then, even open, even deeper, the mists of my subconscious moved the target, testing me, waiting for the perfect moment.
Some stories and explanations were beyond my comprehension. I could just look at the pages, and wonder: What is the meaning, here? Why is it important? It was as if comprehension was just beyond my grasp.
Periodically something would happen in my daily work life that would bring to mind a phrase I was studying.
Noticing the Spiritual in the Everyday, Calling, Tugging at the Heart Strings
When I was working doing financial analysis, it was striking to me to note how much 'people’s energy’ effected movements of markets, activities of companies, and the very direction people choose to take in their lives.
It was stunning to me that efforts I might observe at a distance, that would later prove to be false, or even fraudulent, whether advocated by people who were truly trying, or worse, by people so shallow they did not care, would meaningfully effect the lives of those around them.
I wondered, about my own life and how I was effecting people, one day, when I got an indirect call from someone directly effected by my work.
I wondered, about my own life and how I was being effected by how I lived, when I had a call with a key person and I felt like I could not begin to describe what I was observing and experiencing.
Although I didn’t want to admit it, I found that I would have a sense of something long before I could prove it with ‘analytics’.
At some point, my inner unhappiness became loud and prominent, and it was obvious that I required to change. A significant part of life was in need of attention.
The End of Suffering
While I might laugh at this now, and in doing so let off any remaining charge, I am grateful for the depths of discomfort I experienced, as the discomfort gave me a reason to change.
One day, I was suddenly struck with the understanding that I could not feel any emotion that was positive, and that I was in a rut of fear, and if I shifted myself, it was only to a rut of anger.
Try as I might, at that time, I realized that I was uncomfortable because I could not experience love tangibly in my heart. Somehow, the situation felt dire.
You Have to Call in Spiritual Connection
So I took up a prayer, and called up a constant presence from childhood, Jesus Christ, and asked for assistance. Clearly and passionately, I laid out the problem and the issues, and asked for assistance.
To my happy surprise, He offered assistance and guidance by instructing me to work with another spiritual presence I had experienced almost all of my life, also.
I began to discuss everything about my world, through communing spiritually, and following the spiritual guidance that came forth.
Make the Request for Assistance
Now looking back over the years, I realize that making the request to the Divine, to our own Soul, and in my case, to Jesus Christ, for assistance was the initiating factor that brought great and significant change into my life.
It was not all unicorns and fairies, bells and whistles. There were a lot of challenging times; but there were also moments filled with miraculous coincidence, and with awe.
I am grateful, for the journey.
