Phillip’s Wisdom on Finding Yourself

This above all remember: you already have all the answers within you. You’ll hear them when you stop listening to just your human voice and also listen to your inner spirit voice.

Others may offer advice but only when you ask for it. Remember this: you are not broken although at times it may feel like it. You are unique and perfect just as you are, so never allow another person to try to fix you. If anyone tries, walk away. This is not to say you are not to ask for help. Asking for help is wise. We are saying another should not be trying to fix you. There is a difference.

If you are trying to fix another, stop. Put your energy into looking at your own issues and doing your own work of repattering your old patterns instead of telling the other how to live their life.

Spiritual maturity is leaning what you want and creating it. If you are sitting on a stone and wishing someone would come to rescue you, you may sit for a long time. No one will come to rescue you.

If you want company or a shoulder or a friend, ask. If is an honor to be asked to sit with another. If the person you ask to sit with you is unable to do so at that moment in time, do not take offense. Respect that they are in their own process and can’t be there for you in the moment. They may be available to you another time. Go ahead and ask someone else to sit with you or sit within your own quietness.

If someone asks you to sit with them while they talk through an issue they are experiencing, listen deeply. Don’t try to fix them or the problem unless you are asked for your opinion, or it is understood that you are there to offer an opinion. Sometimes we just need someone to listen to us. To listen without judgement is a great gift we can give to another.

Every day of your life, spend sacred time with yourself. This may be time for meditation, journaling, or another spiritual practice.

You are here to rebirth yourself—the self who pays the bills, goes to the grocery store, interacts with others, the self who lives in the mundane world—into the bigger Self. This Self lives in a greater reality. This is your creative, spiritual force. You bring this greater Self into the mundane world by living from that greater, divine reality and be the transmitter of grace and love regardless of what the outer world is showing you at times.

Does this mean you will no longer pay your bills or shop at the grocery store, or live in the mundane world? Absolutely not. Does this mean that suddenly your life will be wonderful, and you’ll win the lottery, and you’ll never have another care in the world? No.

What your life will transform into is that you will live in the mundane world in a more extraordinary way, in a more sacred way. You may not live there every day, but when you return, you will return to learning, and at time knowing, the mysteries of the cosmos and the secrets of the universe. You will begin to understand how the Great Mystery plays out in your life and all life.
