Last weekend I was watching a YouTube video on how one can gain spiritual enlightenment when I noticed a comment posted by a previous viewer: “I’ve been looking inside for a long time and I keep experiencing pretty much the same thing every time. I wish I knew exactly how.” understand the words ‘look inside’. This article is written for that viewer and for those like him who feel they misunderstand when given the instructions to “look inside.”
The main problem here is that there is much more to “looking within” than those words literally imply. Looking inward (or meditating) is only the beginning of the process of spiritual integration and enlightenment; there are other important steps involved that hardly anyone tells you about. For example, if you keep looking inward but ignore the inner guidance you receive or if your insights never apply in real life, you will remain stuck at the beginning of the process and see the same thing almost every time.
Several years ago, when my life was confused and hopeless, I spent months looking inward and getting frustrated with myself for not making much progress (in terms of reconnecting and integrating with my higher self, gaining a larger, more uplifting perspective, activating flow in my life, obtaining new knowledge, activating favorable synchronicities, making good things happen, etc.). But I was stuck.
Then came a time when I got so fed up that I vowed to follow through with my inner guidance immediately and steadily, with the sole exception of some sort of emergency. That meant taking some risks, of course: Your inner guidance won’t always agree with conventional wisdom or the typical way of doing things. But I didn’t care what most people thought; I only went for that.
However, it wasn’t until I made the commitment to stick with it and actually did it (meaning I trusted my higher self enough to do it) that I began to experience the incredible power and amazing new ideas that began to flow into my life. I think East it is what most people want to experience when they make the effort to “look within.”
A day after reading that comment online about looking within, a newsletter subscriber emailed me with this question: “Why is so little taught about integrating with your higher self?” (In my opinion, integration with your higher self is what happens naturally if you take “looking within” or “recognizing your Creator” to the next level.)
Well, little is taught because few people are able to articulate in detail the process of integrating with their higher self. After all, how can you clearly explain something that you haven’t experienced for yourself? Even master channel David Wilcock says that if the process was easy, more people would have integrated with their higher selves by now. For example, there are things that will trip you up and obstacles that you will come across in the process that will test you.
Don’t worry if the process seems slow at first. It is not something that happens overnight and, besides, everything worth doing takes time. But time will pass anyway, and where will you be in 6 months?
Although you will gain access to the process more quickly and easily by following the example of someone who has already been through it, it is not until you experience the magic of constant flow in your own life and the elevation and inner peace that results that you will truly “get it.” “. So tell me please: are you ready to look within and take the steps to integrate with your higher self now?
