Spiritual progress: start with what you know – anything you know, and keep walking.

When dabbling with spirituality, most people start from the wrong thing: the unknown, the mystery of it. That will keep you entertained; yes, it will keep you guessing, gasping, and ahwing at the unknown, the mysteries of the Universe, and whatnot. If that’s what you want, there you go. However, if you want to LEARN about yourself, the world, other people, the Universe, if you want to UNDERSTAND things, start with the known. Start with the big picture of what you already know; not BELIEVE, KNOW. Start with what you can feel, and BANK on. Then, expand to things you’re curious about, start making your best guesses. Combine knowledge with logical reasoning in the spiritual field, and expand your understanding. Don’t lie to yourself, and don’t fill in blanks with guesses that you claim to be the truth, but use guesses as… sketching. You’re trying to form a picture, and sometimes you need to draw thin lines to build a bigger picture.

Follow your attention span, no matter how short it is. Allow your moods and interest to guide you day by day. This takes time – but if you want it, the Universe will organize the time and space for you to do it. ASK for it; you shall receive it. You only really just need to want it – you don’t need to pray for a goddamned thing in this Universe; you’ll get what you want as soon as possible; the first step is to accept yourself as the kind of person who would want it or do it if the opportunity arose.

Allow your attention to drift. Spiritual practice isn’t great with planning. Let yourself be led to a new question… And expanding on what you already know. As you gain more awareness and knowledge, the sketched-up parts will become clearer in the process, and you can start filling those spaces in – but NEVER be so certain you can’t change your mind. If you’ve never doubted your knowledge, there is no doubt you’re wrong more often than you’re right.

Seek for the truth, not BELIEFS or FAITH… Unless you’re into fooling yourself, who am I to decide for you?

There.
