Dear Spiritual Adventurers

As the Spring is upon us in many parts of the world, it's a good time to do some internal Spring cleaning!

I came across something in my readings the other week that was such a dose of truth that all at once it made me take responsibility yet at the same time allowed me to excuse myself for being human.

It is all too easy for us to beat ourselves up right? We find ourselves rushing around after our goals, that perfect lifestyle, the next organic craze yet at the same time beating ourselves up for having that chocolate bar or bag of crisps!

Well I want to share with you what I found:

"...but in the view of the natural tendency in everyone to let his desires rule his reason, truth has to be repeated often so that it may be made more clear."

~ Gandhi

Now as the spiritual warriors you will all be familiar with the difference between knowing something and being something and all the internal struggles that entails.

This is a classic case of our desires ruling our reason. We have all been there & still are there! But instead of being hard on ourselves for being human, we could accept that this is part of a long journey.

Hearing a truth over and over until we finally get it is normal. It's not a sign of failure, in fact it's a sign of success. A willingness to really take responsibility.

Now I am going to go deeper with this one.

If we yearn inside for chocolate for example, yet deny it to ourselves thinking we are great in doing so, we may aswell have the chocolate & enjoy it. For it is more harmful to be a hypocrite than to have that bar of delight, as hypocrisy has no place on an authentic spiritual path.

Once we still aspire to someday kick that bad habit, in acknowledging our desires we are being kinder to ourselves. Why? Well I think it is summed up nicely in this quote:

"The psychological effects of our actions in past lives cannot be wiped out all at once. Waves of desire will continue to rise. They will drench us again & again, but one day they will leave us dry."

~ Gandhi

In other words by being human you are being real. If beneath your desires that get the better of you from time to time, is a genuine willingness to move beyond them someday, you are on an authentic spiritual path that is much more powerful than the one of hypocrisy.

I do hope that brings you the same relief it brought me!

Much love,

Lisa

Ever since the start of Spiritual Quest Adventures we have been collaborating. Approaching even our competitors has brought us friendship, inspiration and growth.

So we want to repeat that success & include you in it! We are looking for more like-minded individuals or businesses like yourselves to partner up with to help us market our tours to a wider global audience.

We especially want to find ways to market in the corporate world as we feel change is most needed there and it would benefit so many. As we firmly believe what affects the individual affects the whole!

If you think we could create a mutually beneficial relationship somehow do get in touch!

We can offer you cheaper tours, a percentage of the profits or maybe you have an even better idea!

With so many representations of the Divine Feminine from the different religions and spiritual traditions, it’s easy enough to get confused. For example there are 21 different aspects of Tara alone!

So how do we make sense of it all? Where do they all fit in?

And the feminine aspect is, at best, an afterthought in our current world dominated by the patriarch. So let’s begin to change that right here and now, for the betterment of everyone as we explore the beauty and meaning behind the sacred emanation in all Her glory.
