The Spiritual Process is an organic unfolding of revelation, realization, and transformation guided by the very power and intelligence that is awakening to itself. It is not something you "do", and it does not ask you to be something other than what you are, or some place other than where you are. Right now, and in every moment. You don't need to be "spiritual" or to "get it." You already ARE IT. And as misunderstanding is replaced by the clarity of direct experience, and as what has been feared or rejected is quietly and warmly welcomed, the obscurations to the Truth fall away or are no longer perceived as obscurations. Our mind and body become more open and transparent to the light and presence that shines through it. Our eternal and perfect spiritual nature is not in question. Yet, we can ask: "What seems to be in the way of realizing it? Our basic dignity as a human being is not in question. Yet, we can ask: "Am I relating to myself as I would with someone I deeply love and respect?" Our shared future on this planet IS in question. It seems more than a little possible that catastrophic change is in store for generations to come. Yet, we can ask: "How do I wish to live in the face of this likelihood?” Our responses determine our experience. If we want to realize more of who we are both as unlimited awareness and possibility, and as the full spectrum of our unique human expression, we can - and must - learn to look in the right place and to exercise our capacity to respond wisely and skillfully to what we find there.
