What is Within You?
Everyone has life experiences which affect their behavior as well as having their spiritual nature. Which is dominant for you? What you have experienced on Earth or what you, the spirit, brought to learn this lifetime?
This often begins with how much your parents and family program you and how they focus your attention. Were you focused only on physical matters such as survival, emotions, competition, expectations, the intellect? Were you encouraged to think for yourself or to do what you were told?
Did you receive information about your spiritual nature or was everything you were taught intellectual and/or emotional? You may not have been encouraged to fulfill your spiritual life purpose. Did your parents want you to be one thing and you wanted another? Or did your parents force their spiritual beliefs on to you?
How did your schooling affect your spirit-body focus? Was your training all physical or were you introduced to a spiritual awareness?
Many souls are born knowing they have a spiritual purpose and are invalidated about their spiritual focus. Possibly a person wants to create as a musician and their parents want them to be a dentist. Possibly the school system reinforced the parents, and the person has to rebel to be himself. Often the rebellion of youth is a cry for spiritual recognition.
You may benefit from meditation to allow your spiritual nature to emerge and develop. Since the world is so physically focused, most people do not become spiritually aware until they are in their twenties. Thus, the awakening can be shocking as you become aware of what is within you.
While awakening, you will become aware of both the beautiful and the ugly within you. The important thing is to focus within with a spiritual view so you can be neutral and nonjudgmental about yourself, whether viewing what you like or don’t like. An important key is grounding which helps you see yourself clearly.
Whether you were physically abused or pampered during your youth, it is essential for you to gain a spiritual view of your journey. You need to gain neutrality so that you can clearly choose what you want to keep in your body and what you wish to cleanse from it. Meditation is a clear path to learning what you have within you. It is also a way to cleanse what you no longer want, such as pain, hate, greed and other debilitating energies.
Open your spiritual nature and see what you have within you. Open to your neutral, grounded spiritual self and have the courage to clear what you do not desire and allow your spiritual nature to flourish and shine.
