Eat Your Spiritual Broccoli
You can’t cheat your way through the university of life.
Being spiritual means you have to pay attention. You have to interpret every single little thing that happens as meaningful. You can’t sleep on it, spiritually. You have to stay vigilant that you are doing right by yourself and others all the time.
Every situation that presents itself to you, without exception, is a test. You are constantly being asked to make the choices that you know are right in your heart. As humans, this is very hard, whereas souls have no problem with it. Greed, lust, sadness, fear, and other urges come into play as we make our way through human life. Our souls know we’re here to pass these tests but our human components rail against these lessons.
You could try to go back to mundane, ignorant life and live in the matrix world again, but I don’t think it will work. Once you’re awake, you’re awake forever. You have opened Pandora’s box and you can’t close it again. You can’t go back to sleep.
You’re here with us spiritual types and none of us are going anywhere. We’re here to stay and we all have to eat our spiritual broccoli. Every unpleasant bite must be swallowed.
