New life - preparing the channels to allow it to flow

04/13/2010

Many people imagine that, because they have decided to follow a spiritual teaching, all their problems will quickly be solved, and they will soon be able to live a quiet, serene life. Well, no, it isn't that easy. To solve our problems, we have to set ourselves specific inner tasks, a programme to be achieved, and this takes time. But as soon as you set yourself a task to complete, even if you don't entirely succeed, at least a mark is engraved somewhere, and the forces of your subconscious begin to flow through the channels you have carved out. If, on the other hand, you don't inscribe anything in the depth of your psyche, your whole life will go by, and you will achieve nothing whatsoever. When rain falls, the water follows exactly the furrows that have been cut. So you must prepare the ground, prepare the channels so that new life can flow within you.
