TRUST THE PROCESS!

TRUST THE PROCESS!

When I began my study of spirituality, I noticed commonalities in the teachings. Each discipline encouraged pursuing an illusive state of inner mastery called higher consciousness. Although I barely understood what that meant, there was one consistent guideline: Let go of worldly concerns.


It was frustrating trying to forge ahead with this quest since there were no step-by-step instruction manuals. Teachers would give knowing half-smiles, encouraging that I continue meditating and just trust the process.


I was pretty much on my own.


Prior to being on a spiritual path, I was a devoted social activist. Weekends consisted of attending anti-war protests, environmental demonstrations and save the whales rallies whenever possible.


Judging that my impassioned convictions fit into the ‘worldly concerns’ category, it seemed an obstacle in the way of the promised higher consciousness bliss.


No matter what my overloaded spiritual bookshelf espoused, I could not get past my deep concern about the planetary condition. I felt the weight of the world on my shoulders. Renouncing my attachment to this beautiful home humanity shares would not happen.


With trial and error, I discovered a place of balance: Continue caring and taking action, but with no attachment to results. I learned to just trust the process.


With each inner awakening to more love, I felt my energy expand. My social actions morphed into more being rather than doing. As I cultivated more self-love, open heartedness replaced closed mindedness.


I committed to send unconditional healing energy around the planet every time I meditated. While teaching my spiritual development classes, I led others to do the same.


My activism continued, but I shifted where I came from to align with my spiritual values. I became pro-peace rather than anti-war. I committed to live an eco-conscious life, showing up as an example of walking my talk. I embraced other views and spoke with compassion rather than hate.


I look inward when I notice I am not coming from love, admitting whatever denial is being reflected to me.


My passion to transform the world is still very much alive. It now takes forms that are less dramatic than carrying protest signs and being angry all the time.


Using the healing and transformational energy of love helps in ways I may never be privy to. I know it is a powerful (r)evolutionary force.


I continue to let go of my attachment to results no matter how difficult that is.


I am trusting the process. For as long as it takes.
