There was only ever one instruction given to spiritual seekers by the Sages: Know Thyself. All the rest is just commentary. Until you know yourself why do you even trust yourself to want anything? You don't even know if it's you who wants 1/
because you don't even know who 'you' is? When you do you'll find that who you really are doesn't want anything at all. That you is completely content with what Grace brings (as She always has done) and is blissful and grateful and overwhelmed. 2/
Until you know who you really are you don't know what you're doing or why. You *think* you do but you really don't. So the only thing you have to do, if you want to be the slightest bit spiritual (if there's even any benefit of that; you can't really 3/
know until you actually are) then you have to know yourself really. If you know yourself a little then you'll be a bit spiritual. Say you know, because you recognise it when it happens, that sometimes you get jealous, then you know yourself a bit. 4/
If you actually catch youself being jealous then you have the opportunity not to be. In that moment at least. Now you not only know yourself a little, now you are in charge of yourself a little too. Keep practicing paying attention to what you do 5/
and before you know it you actually now really *begin* to know yourself (but you've not even begun to know your real Self yet) and you're rather more spiritual; you're further along the path. This is a glimpse and there's plenty to practice, though 6/
next to nothing to learn (which should please you if you found school as difficult as I did.) I know the way to myself and maybe the way to yourself is not so different. So if I might be able to help just ask. At least for the moment I'm here. 🌿🙏❤️
