Many spiritual traditions remind us that difficult circumstances actually represent some of our biggest opportunities for growth. Here is what the Guides have to say about keeping a healthy perspective in times of challenge:
“When you feel that your attempts have been derailed, when you wrongly perceive that you have lost your way, I simply want to submit to you that all that has likely happened is you have paused to work through a particularly challenging bit of your lesson.”
Of course, we have to be honest with ourselves as to whether or not we are actually doing our practice at such times. Are we genuinely bringing our deepest committment to Truth and feeding our love affair with the Divine? If the answer is “yes,” we can know that likely we have simply shifted into a slower pace to allow for the absorption of important educational scenery. We can cleave to the encouraging words of the Higher Realms and remember that we are still on the right track and making our way toward freedom!
