Spiritual Journey | Your Vision Quest (Part 1)

Where did you Loose Yourself

The key to finding true prosperity is first realizing who you are. Humanity has conditioned all of us to loose ourself in the cares of other people. It is not that we do not have our own true desires and cares, it is simply that many times we take on our circumstances and surroundings and identify them with who we think we are.

The first step in finding your true self is remembering when you stopped dreaming about the impossible. When you were a child and dreamed of one day becoming the astronaut, President of the United States, professional athelete or whatever else you wanted to be or dreams that you wanted to accomplish in life, there were no bounderies and what you think is impossible now, was completely possible when you were a child.

Children are ok with being themself. They have not been conditioned yet to believe that other peoples thoughts about them actually matter.

Put yourself in the shoes of others looking into your life. Pretend that you are someone else looking at your deepest darkest secrets or insecurities. How would you judge yourself? Or would you even care?

Think about this as you go through your day today.

You are what you Desire

The hope that we will reach all of the goals that we set for ourselves is a natural reaction to a universe that seems to be out of our control. Hope however is only the first step in the realization of our dreams. The Biblical statement that faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of that which remains unseen is the key to grabbing hold of what you are.

Many people get so caught up in the circumstance of life and the way that they see themselves, they forget that their hopes are who they are as a person. These hopes are your connection to the material universe. Why then, are so many falling short of or never even trying to reach the hopes that they long for. The modern framework of our society teaches us that we need to be realistic. This is a good fundamental principle, but the problem is the definition that people resort to in determining what is realistic for them to accomplish in life.

We are constantly comparing ourselves to others or at the very least other circumstances and many times we fail to realize that who we are is not defined by the circumstance or situations that we have seen in our past. The past does not determine the future and there are no rules when it comes to being realistic. The true realism is the realization that your hopes and dreams are who you are. Because of this you are connected by energy to the things that you hope for. Don’t be so quick to discount what you are able to accomplish. This thought process could lead to the average life of accepting other peoples definition of being realistic, rather than the life that you could have had if you would have only believed that you are what you desire.

True Prosperity

True prosperity is so much more than money. True prosperity is the absolute realization that life is indeed a gift and every circumstance you face is an opportunity to take your life to the next level. Spiritual oneness with the world around you is already a reality. You willingness to see this reality on the other hand is something that is soley dependant on you.

Did you realize that you are connected to the universe in such a way that it would be impossible to seperate yourself from it? The experience of life can be a deception because life is so much more than what we experience with our senses. If you are constantly focusing on the negatives or better yet what you percieve to be negative, negative circumstances will occur again and again in your life.

You want to have the perfect life but you don’t know where to begin. You have tried everything and still you have no peace. The realization of who you are is the first step to experiencing true prosperity. If you cannot come to grips with who you are, the energy that makes up your entire being will be at odds with itself.

Think about it. You have close friends who are an imprtant part of your life. The more you are around these people the more of their influence becomes reflective in you. You say some of the things they say the way that they say it. Your inflection begins to sound more and more lke the way that they inflect.

The majority of people are reflective, not of themself, but of all of the people and experiences that they have faced in life.

Some people have wealth, but are they truly happy?

Some people have what you would consider to be the perfect lover, but are they truly happy?

Some people may try to reflect the perfect life to others, but again, are they truly happy?

True prosperity begins with finding who you are and letting who you are become the image that other people see when they look into your life.

This realization will bring you one step closer to prosperity. Prosperity will attract wealth and all of the other things that you prize in this existence. Be careful though, because as you begin to unveil who you are and your perceptions of what other people think you should want begin to fade away, the things that you truly want may be totally different than what you think you want right now.
