On the Journey

Many times on my journey to learn how to follow GOD’S guidance, I have stopped and wondered about whether I was doing the right thing or making wrong choices that would take me in the opposite, negative direction. Was I reading the signposts correctly? Was I applying the spiritual principles correctly? Was I effectively maintaining my spiritual awareness through spiritual exercises? Was I being adequately detached from situations I had become attached to? Was I maintaining proper and enough objectivity? Was I doing this and that…Questions upon questions, going on forever.

At times I made choices based on inner guidance, which sometimes came through dreams. How good my understanding of the guidance was dependent on how well I interpreted the dream. Often I was wrong because I tended to apply the principles from a logical standpoint. The dream world is a different world, whose images and experiences are open to a variety of interpretations and don’t easily conform to logic. In the physical, fire is fire; in the dream world, it could mean different things to different people. The journey into the mystery of life is endless and can be complex, therefore takes great care to correctly fathom it at different levels, both deep and superficial.
