I was listening to a snippet of a talk by Eckhart Tolle earlier and this sentence spoken in his characteristically droll manner immediately grabbed my attention:

Whatever is in your way, IS the way.

How brilliant and so apt when I consider how many times in my life I’ve felt I’ve completely messed up, become lost, or fallen off the path completely (not even knowing what the so called ‘path’ is).  At my worst, I felt that God or Spirit or The Universe was disappointed in me, even angry. Of course, during my lucid moments I knew this was not true, but these fears arise from a deeply powerful and primal place in the human psyche.

Hearing Eckhart’s words reminded me that whatever obstacle we face becomes our teacher. It shows us the way forward if we open our hearts to it. Furthermore, a line from the TV show The X Files which has always stayed with me is:

There is no right or wrong, it’s just a path.

We can’t go wrong in the eyes of Spirit. We are always on the right path simply because there is no wrong one. Even ‘bad’ choices create more opportunities for growth. Consciousness is always evolving if we embrace the process and not berate ourselves for decisions we make with the best knowledge we have at the time.

I feel much peace in my heart tonight knowing I’m doing fine. Wishing you all peace too.
