Ambiguity and The Need to Know

There is an ambiguity in life that surprises me. I thought I would know. I thought I was being given information that would explain my life and the future. I thought all would be more clear with each passing day.

I was right but not in the way expected. The knowing, the information and the clarity were revealed to be uncertainty.

All that I felt correct up to now is right but also wrong. All that I though was a clear message becomes more complicated. All that I felt was clear is no longer.

I am left with a calm, however, about the ambiguity. I am left with a thirst to allow this lack of clarity to flow over me and become a substitute for being a slave to the need to know and figure everything out. I’m leery of the success of this new venture, but I sense it is the only answer left. All else is wasted energy fed to a soul caught in a 3-dimensional world.

Releasing that limitation of the” need to know” may just be the freedom I’ve been seeking.

Releasing that limitation may be the answer I’ve been searching.

Releasing that limitation opens my soul to a possible union with the spirit world, which I long to have.

When Do We Stop Seeking Answers?

The most important step in our spiritual evolution is when we agree to “give up the seeking process forever.” This sounds extreme, but consider the reason. Once “we are convinced of the reality of Spirit, at a soul level, we are no longer seekers.” These quotations came from an article, “Seek Until You Find,” by Andrew Cohen, the editor of EnlightenNext magazine (Issue 47, 2011). Once we are done seeking, we begin the responsibility of accepting Spirit and eliminating the demand for proof or the doubt before we act. We will, of course, continue to evolve and be the enlightened person who works to achieve our highest potential through our own development.

No longer, though, can we just intellectualize our spirituality and be content in our continual quest. Soon we must come to terms with our own Truth, what we know we must do, and then just do it. Sacred study and spiritual practice can continue, as long they are combined with an equal amount of sacred action.

With that realization, all is clear. Cohen says “Seek until you Find.” Once that happens, stop seeking and begin “being. How many of us continue to search, continually asking the same questions without moving to another level of action?

Others Mirror our Flaws

I was recently reminded of the advice given in The RA Material: An Ancient Astronaut Speaks by D Elkins, C Rueckert and JA McCarty, a book I have reviewed in previous blogs. The best way for us to learn our lessons is by dealing with other people. When we only spend time pondering our own thoughts, we lose the ability to see ourselves reflected in others.

We need friends to mirror our flaws. This is such a positive view of growth. We grow and, from our interactions, others do too. That is what life is all about.

We are also reminded that we cannot truly help another to evolve. We can only be role models in our spiritual growth and interactions. We can be catalysts but not saviors.
