Spiritual Evolution

I just spent the weekend with my Aunt and as always we had many wonderful conversations about life, love, relationships and personal growth.  She introduced the words “spiritual evolution” into one of our discussions and it quickly became our go to phrase.  We can become so focussed on how we are different from others and see them as separate from us.  But the reality is we are all connected through our energy source and while we may be at different points in our spiritual evolution we are all still the same. At a recent meditation retreat I attended the teacher made the statement that when we look with our eyes (at others) we see only differences, these can be physical, mental and emotional attributes, but when we close our eyes and look with our hearts we are all the same.  As I sat in that room of 40+ people I tried it and he was right!  Now when I catch myself looking at someone and seeing differences I close my eyes and look with my heart.  Regardless of our culture, our bank account, our clothes, our car, we all want to be happy, to love and be loved, to be safe and healthy and to live our life fully.  The truth is when we are living from our authentic self we attract others into our life that are part of our path, regardless of where we are in our spiritual evolution at that time.  And as each one of us continues to evolve, people and situations will come and go as our energy shifts.  This may be the answer to why it is so difficult for many of us to “let go”.  When we understand that all of our experiences and relationships become part of our evolution then we can let go and move forward. The fact is that evolution is part of universal law, there is no use fighting it we need to embrace it.  Be okay with change, let go of what we need to, be open to what comes to us, feel instead of think our way and allow our spiritual evolution to unfold in its own unique beautiful way.
