I have been on a spiritual journey for the past ten years, finding what I believe, and discovering how to express and articulate my spirituality in a meaningful way. This has involved navigating the beliefs I have inherited from my family, ancestors and community, as well as negotiating my thoughts and feelings around questions like "why am I here," and "does God really exist."
For some reason, I have thought that the answers to life's questions are somewhere "out there." I have searched for answers from people I consider to be spiritual masters, psychics, trainings and seminars, friends, strangers, books, movies . . . the list goes on. And, while I have received insights from many of these explorations, my biggest aha moments have come when I have been guided within.
I am grateful to be learning that I have the answers I am looking for. I am following my intuition as to where to look for insight and information. And what I am finding is far more than simply an inventory of beliefs and morals. I am finding my place in this world. I am finding who I really am. I am discovering that I am, as I have always concluded, not perfect - BUT, I am finding that I can be whole. I am learning to embrace my light and dark, my gifts and shortcomings, my strengths and weaknesses.
When I really spend time in introspective contemplation, I get in touch with my essence, my core, which is love. I am love. I am gratitude. Knowing that, I will go forward on this journey looking for inspiration, knowledge and guidance "out there," but going within to find my answers, truths and principles. I am merely finding my way back to me.
