September 8, 2011 Stick-to-it-tiveness

Good Evening Beloveds... I was going to give Mary Ann a respite today from sharing my messages, but then she had a very interesting evening that brought forth a topic for me to discuss.

How many of you have ever spent minutes, hours, even days trying to resolve technical issues with your electronic equipment? Even though you may become very frustrated, angry and ready to throw away a particular piece of equipment, many of you  stick with it until you resolve the problem.

You search the internet, call for technical support, go back to the store where you bought the product, call your friends - in other words, you do every possible thing you can to solve the problem.

But, I wonder, how many of you have taken this approach to your Spiritual life? How many of you have sought every possible answer or solution for problems/lessons in your Spiritual journey? Especially when it becomes difficult to proceed. When it seems as if you have hit a wall, do you just give up or do you try to find another way around the wall?

There is always another way you know. But sometimes discovering the other path can be frustrating. It requires that you stop and reflect upon the situation. It may require your willingness or at least your being willing to be willing to look at the situation from another angle. Perhaps forgiveness is necessary - both of yourself and another person. Or some journaling would be in order to unearth the true meaning of the lesson. Maybe meditation would be a useful tool. A conversation with your Spiritual advisor could also help.

And so on and so on.

So, the next time you are having technical issues, I ask you to consider : Is not your Spiritual life, which is everlasting, worth at least the amount of time that you spend on some technical issue, that is but a fleeting moment in your life's eternal evolution?

I remain yours,
Andre
