"Go as far as you can see; when you get there, you’ll be able to see farther." ⁠

- J. P. Morgan⁠

Your spirituality, is that old trauma and that old hurt. They are what needs your attention and your love. There isn’t a spiritual magic spell that can make all of that go away. Make those your primary focus and they will lead you to things that all spiritual practices only gleam.

These things that come up and pull you, are simply what need your attention. To distract yourself from them is to deny them and to deny the very fact that they are god in action. They are divinity living.

There is no way out of that hurt. Facing it and loving it the way it needs to be loved is the way to expand and to grow. Call that spiritual or whatever you like. The key to all of this is loving and surrendering to these things that life brings you and has brought you.

Feel, breathe and let what is in you have, space patience and your soft attention. Be with what you feel and simply feel it. Relax everything and let it all have you. Breathe softly and hold your attention in all of these things. Feeling these thing let’s them go through their life-cycle and releases them. They’ll get what they need and so they’ll begin to unburden you.

Simply turn your attention to these feelings and emotions and see that they aren’t something you need to pull out of you or cast off as evil, they are what will lead you to your highest growth. Get to know these things. Get to know that hurt older you that was traumatized and still lives within you. Let all of this have that your have the patience and the love it never got. Give it what it craves and truly needs.

It’s understandable to want to run from all of this hurt and pain. That running is what most people will tell you to do, but it isn’t in the direction of healing and of releasing these old things. Now, you can go in slowly and touch these things slowly. They may be scary and so doing so slowly maybe what is best. This does take bravery, but only at the start. Going into these things you’ll see that they are only scaring you to get your attention and to get you to love them. Try to see or sense this and change your relationship to them. They are your feelings, love them as no one else can and begin to allow those things to shift, allow the Love and the support of the Universe to finally find you. Allow it all to being to work for you and not against you, this is all done by changing your relationship to these things you encounter within.

Much Love and I hope this helps,

"The natural world is a spiritual house ... Man walks there through forests of physical things that are also spiritual things, that watch him with affectionate looks." Charles Baudelaire

The book of psalms is a wealth of wisdom. For my regular readers you know I am not a Christian, I am a pagan heathen. That doesn’t mean that religious texts and doctrine are without merit.
