My Spiritual Path

“The spiritual journey is individual, highly personal. It can’t be organized or regulated. It isn’t true that everybody should follow any one path. Listen to your own truth.” ― Ram Dass

Since I was a boy I have been deeply interested in the spiritual. I have always wanted to know more. As a matter of fact, I was so religiously devote in high school and college, that I refused to have sex before marriage for many years. Ironically, my spiritual journey would lead me away from the church I grew up in, and into a life filled with diverse ideas and beliefs, as well as a spiritual path that has rewarded me with daily love and joy.

My desire to know who I really am, and to understand my place in this universe is probably atypical. My spiritual journey has taken me on a path that has rewarded me with a degree in Philosophy, as well as a beautiful experience attending seminary so that I could advance my own study in theology and world religions. 

But why? What am I seeking? I have asked myself this question for years. Why do I care so much about this? All I can say is that I can’t remember a time where I didn’t care about this greater part of me. I can’t remember a time where I didn’t feel a deep pull to want to know more. And I can’t remember a time when I knew this was why I am here. 

I don’t expect to find all the answers, but I do expect to be able to ask better questions. And I do know this; I always find what I am looking for. I was born for this journey and I am so happy to be on it. What has been yielded to me is a lifetime of self exploration with one treasure after another along the way. 

So when my journey gets rough. When my experience gets hard to handle. I remind myself in these moments, that I am uncovering something that I have asked for. I am learning something new. I am transitioning from what I once was into something more. I just have to be brave enough to look at my life in a new way.

I am love. I am joy. I am so very good. And so are all of you.
