What if, in all one’s ponderings, and efforts made so bold, naught, it seems, advances and one’s soul does not unfold? This is an oft asked question, and a reply most simple yet profound gives of two parts of equal measure, and significant when claimed as sound.

The first is that the soul advances always, without doubt. There may not be such haste as that which in this life one has come to thus believe as progress, but in fact brings strife. But peacefully and steadily one’s soul grows and learns, and all experience is good, if viewed from a higher realm.

This is not to say that it is wise to waste one’s time and dally in those things which are but far from sublime. But true progress is slow and evolves from inside, out, and initially it may appear, therefore, that there is no sprout of growth by which to measure one’s stance in higher things. But listen well and know the wonders that pure patience brings.

The second part to this great question is of truth which needs be heard, but often ears are dumb where this fact is concerned. In essence, there are many ways by which a path be trod, and oftentimes delays are made by saboteurs who clothe themselves as friends, and still more true as you, yourself. Your inner conscience will always guide you when in deep despair, but at other moments not so fraught with fear, it is difficult, at first, to know just what is so, and most of all our sufferings and failures to bestow a greater measure of advancement upon the path are due to doubt and murmurings from shallow ghosts from memory past.

Linger not at all, therefore, on thoughts which run contrary to the truth you know exists to thus propel you on to glory, slow but ever hopeful of an outcome beyond your dreams.
