Some of my most profound growth has come from this simple, easily forgotten, tip:

Asking to be shown what I need to see in order to proceed.

Ask god. Ask your ancestors. Ask space. Ask nature.

And you will be shown.

If you don’t ask, you will not see. You have to be willing to ask. You have to be willing to start from “I don’t know” and be willing to look toward The Great Mystery.

Attempting to figure out and analyze your spiritual growth — which involves expanding beyond the existing frontier of your consciousness — is one of the silliest ideas that exists.

Yes, you already have everything you need.

And also yes: recognizing that god, ancestors, space, and nature are also within and amongst your resources, is a part of that.

They will show you what you need to see when you are ready and willing to acknowledge that you and “they” are one in the same.
