It’s amazing the emotions we can mentally repress. One of them is anger…..and it can be shocking when it explodes to our consciousness! Another is shame or humiliation ….. we may despise ourselves when it surfaces. Or it may be hopelessness ….. but we are aware of feeling despair, or even depressed. Any of these could hamper a spiritual seeker’s progress if we let it fester.
What can a spiritual seeker do?
1. See it as a Spiritual opportunity
When an egotistic challenge surfaces, especially a repressed one that suddenly explodes, consider it an excellent spiritual opportunity! It may be rooted in a trauma, yet see it for what it is …… a real, precious spiritual opportunity to overcome and raise your consciousness.
Life challenges us to express our Soul qualities ever stronger. We have to be conscious and aware of any egotistic trait or emotion that threatens our health and happiness in order to do anything about it. Be conscious that it is fleeting and not the Real You. Rather it is a temporary illusion that you can overcome, and constructively progress on your spiritual journey to fulfill your soul’s destiny.
2. Develop patience and perserverance
Your Soul endeavors to expose and purge every egotistic opposition to its freedom. And though not all obstacles may be overcome immediately, with patience and perseverance you can progress.
Blend reasoning and intuition, and let enlightened Understanding strengthen your Soul qualities of optimism, wisdom, sincerity and compassion to meet challenges.
We have within the ability to overcome every challenge that comes our way because the Great Law would not stop progress. Every step that overcomes an obstacle adds to our spiritual progress. Bit by bit we evolve.
3. Come to the present moment
Relax and take some deep breathes to energize the body and brain and bring awareness into the present moment, knowing that the present moment is all there is. Now is powerful and the only moment where great opportunities are within reach, because we exist only now.
4. Continually contact Universal Life Energy
Contact the Power of Universal Love and Attraction, Universal Life Energy, which attracts the very Soul qualities within that help you face obstacles. And know that you are not alone in the fight for harmony.
See any apparent defeat as another opportunity to realize that defeat is only a defeat if we see it that way. Learn from challenges and meet them ever stronger with your Soul qualities of Strength, Intelligence, Truth and Love.
Life is meant for your happiness and enjoyment. If any repressed trauma does surface be gentle with yourself and face it with unconditional Love. Choose to feel grateful for the opportunity to face it consciously and rise above it.
5. Express the FourSquare
All that arises and happens in our life are spiritual opportunities, even those that are devastatingly ugly and can kill our bodies. Endeavor to accept any lesson that surfaces and proceed with optimism, understanding, sincerity and above all Love (the FourSquare).
Love is a Power and a Universal Law. It governs the Universe in Harmony. So identify with It mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It’s the surefire way to progress on your Spiritual journey.

“Every time you overcome a difficulty or an obstacle, you unfold a corresponding quality of your Soul. That much is added to the sum of your knowledge, strength and power, and by the measure of that increase you have advanced just so much in your Evolution.”
