Which is my Spiritual Path?

Coming from a 'one true church' background as I did, this question seemed important to me early in my quest. It is correct to view Truth as One. It is correct to view Fact as something that is not affected by belief. What is not correct is to assume that we are ready for Truth and Fact at any given point in our lives. To quote Jack, "You can't handle the truth!"

Your spiritual path is as individual as you are. As a member of organized religion, this used to drive me crazy. The point of being in a church, it seemed to me, was to align my beliefs with the doctrines and teachings of the church. However, most members seemed to be unable or unwilling to do so.

Looking back, I now understand why this must be. Our insisting on being individuals makes a situation where the Memory of God must dawn on us in an individual fashion.

One of my 'mystical experiences' took place on the Jordan River Parkway. I was contemplating this very question, wondering if the path I was traveling in my spiritual life was the correct one. While pondering that question, I came to a fork in the pavement of the parkway; I had to make a choice to go left or right, and there, at the fork in the road was a sign that reminded people to 'Stay on the Path.' It struck deep into my consciousness that being on a path does not mean that at times we don't have to choose to go left or to go right. We do have to make choices here. From my spot on the parkway it appeared that there were TWO paths, a left one, and a right one. But, if I could float up into the air, I would have seen that there really is just ONE path, with many small options of routes.

Which is my spiritual path? Focus more on your intention. Are you willing to learn? Are you willing to consider new ideas and concepts? Again, the fact that you are even reading this material indicates a greater willingness than most of the human population.

There is only ONE path. And you've found it. You actually never lost it. Are there some twists and turns that are more optimal and efficient than others? Sure. But who cares? We humans don't do anything perfectly. That's part of the human experience. Trust that things will be clearer as you go along your life.
