I think often we can have this idea that our spirituality and spiritual practices are there to stop negative things from happening to us, rather than them being tools to help us navigate our human experience in a way that is an expression of our soul.Ā
The Buddha stated, ālife is sufferingā. In my early walk of turning to God/Source/Creator, I hated this statement. Why did Life have to be an experience of suffering? Why couldnāt it be peace? Why was there pain?Ā
It was only in looking back that I realized that my first conscious connections with God/Source/Creator occurred in middle schoolāa time when I had seen enough of the world around me to understand āpoorā, āBlackā, ā1st generationā, and āgirlā meant in the American South. A time in my life where I was initiated into feeling all the frustration, exasperation, anger, sadness, joy, and fear materially in order to question why spiritually.Ā
So I kept coming back to God. I kept coming back to ask why. To challenge. To cry. To be afraid. To share my anxiety. To be curious. To explore. I knew that the answers I was seeking were not going to be found in other people. I needed That Which Does Not Change. The Unmoving. The Undifferentiated. The Undivided. I needed That Which Has No Name.
And I am not unique in this long spiral of ever-ascending awareness of Self and All. I see this in everyone around me. Truly. And because I know the root of our inner drive is the same, I can only point to the place we must goāback to the beginningāif weāre going to experience the development we seek.Ā
We need our Selves.
That is the work of the Lightworker Incubator and my assignment of āculture change through consciousness changeā.
