Reflect upon your life and the experiences that have shaped it…

Reflect upon your life and the experiences that have shaped it. I am sure that it has not been a constant stream of bliss. As conscious beings, we are not meant to remain stagnant and fixed, devoid of internal struggles. Eventually, we outgrow the fleeting satisfaction provided by unexamined gratification. Our lives yearn to converge into reason and harmony. Deep urges within each of us compel us to introspective questioning. When turned inward, these urges can lead us to frustration, self-destructive tendencies, and despair. Within the potential of consciousness itself, each of us struggles daily, in increments both small and great, responding willingly or not, to the urgings of Spirit to unfold our awareness amid other myriad forms of consciousness.
