Merry C. Battles Every day we have a choice, to be loving to all, and especially ourselves. It takes great fortitude to stay on the up and up – to stay on the Spiritual Path without faltering.
It’s not actually that we fall off of the Path. It is going into the valleys of the road, instead of climbing to the summit. When you officially step onto the Spiritual Path, ardent study and searching for the hidden meanings of life becomes your greatest joy. Every little step has meaning. Every step brings us closer to the Spirit within. When you step onto the Path, you will know it. You are able to look at life from a different perspective. You are able to see the events in your life from a higher picture. There is a knowing that all has a divine purpose. Every action and reaction means something. Walking the Spiritual Path is a literal and figurative way of life. It is actually a trail you commit to. It’s as if it is in the etheric realms, and you step onto it with dedication and a promise to see life with its deeper meanings. We live each day wondering what is it all about. Every experience is for a purpose. Every exchange with another does have meaning. Each word we see gives us a message. Have you ever noticed as you drive along words and sentences calling out to you? One night, years ago, I couldn’t decide if I should go on a trip to Italy with a Holy Woman Eileen George.(Meet the Father Ministry) All day long I kept saying to myself, “My heart says yes, but my head says no.” Later that night I was leaving someone’s home. I looked down and saw a fortune from a Fortune cookie. I picked it up and it read, "Answer just what your heart prompts you." Unbelievable! I guess I needed the answer in black and white! I’ve officially been on the Spiritual Path since 1976. I was always interested in spiritual things, and have believed in reincarnation since I was 12 years old. Face it, growing up with the Twilight Zone did open your mind to the unusual – the other side of the veil. Within three months I started working as a Massage Therapist, I started going to weekly Metaphysics classes, and my sister Donna was diagnosed with terminal cancer. I started my study of the physical body along with the study of the Spirit. My classes helped me to live with my beautiful sister’s illness. I had to watch her suffer and die. At the end of her life I knew there was a reason for her suffering. I didn’t know what it was, but I knew there was a divine plan in it all. At the end I said, "What an Ace to have in Heaven." As we experience the many challenges of life, we may not understand the lessons we are facing at that time. Eventually we do have glimpses into the hidden light behind every experience of our lives. That light is Spirit beckoning us to say, "This too shall pass." Walking the Path leads us to a destination. Uncovering the layers helps to reveal our true Spirit Self. These layers show us new wisdom that starts to unveil the Divine Spark of the Infinite that is within our very own bones. ©2018 Merry C. Battles Merry C.
