This
spiritual longing originates from a deeper dimension within each
of us and is connected to all of our personal desires that lead
us to the choices we make throughout life. It is this deep inner
spiritual longing that gives us all the tools necessary to keep
us on our chosen path and helps us to fulfill our life’s
purpose.
The
work of transformation is to move our awareness into the inner
landscape of our being in a process of discovery.
We each are drawn to continually travel into this inner
landscape of consciousness throughout life.
We have traversed the inner burrows that lead us into the
darkness so that we may move further into the light at the end
of the tunnel.
Through this process we enter into new gateways in which
we ascertain more love, more understanding, greater integrity,
enhanced personal power and purity of innocence within the
consciousness of self.
As
we each move through this lifelong process of transformation we
may not be aware of our deepest spiritual longing, but it makes
its way through the inner shadows of our being and emerges as
the desires of our personality.
Our human needs and desires are the reflection of our
deeply held spiritual longing within.
It is the creative impulse spurred by the affinity of
consciousness seeking fulfillment within self, the creative
pulse of life itself.
As
the inner longing held within our consciousness traverses the
landscape of physical manifestation, our personality yearnings
can become distorted and out of alignment with our deeper
spiritual longing that lays within our deeper purpose.
When this occurs, our physical being manifests feelings
of frustration and dissatisfaction because of the lack of
synchronicity between the personality desires and the deeper
desire of our inner self to complete the spiritual work it came
here to accomplish.
Desires
that rest on the surface of consciousness is not what gives us
the inner discord and feelings of meaninglessness in our life.
Rather, it is from the lack of fulfillment of the deeper
spiritual longing that manifests the friction we feel.
Our personal endeavor, then, is to seek to find the root
cause of conflict between the desires of personality and those
of our spiritual longings to understand them so that we may
transform them into a betterment of alignment with our life
purpose.
By
so doing we transform the consciousness of personality to where
we are better equipped to settle into the deeper purposes
we’ve set and let go of the desires of the personality that
are in conflict and do not synchronize with those of our life
task.
To accomplish this we must seek out to understand our
genuine needs by allowing the feelings of those longings to
surface so that these real needs can be fulfilled.
Sometimes
it is difficult for us to allow our deepest longings to come
forth into our consciousness.
Perhaps we have suppressed these needs for so long that
we have forgotten what they were.
If so, then think back to when you were a child and
remember what it was that you had always longed for.
Perhaps you longed to be a fireman, or a nurse, an
artist, or a mother or a father.
Where is it in your life that these longings have been
fulfilled?
In what ways have these longings been suppressed and
therefore have gone unaccomplished?
What
is it that you have always been interested in or have loved and
yearned to do?
Perhaps it was an art class or social studies class in
school that you had excelled in.
Whatever it is that surfaces ask yourself how you have
not yet fulfilled these longings that have always existed deep
inside of you.
What is it that you have always wanted to accomplish, yet
see that the fruition of this has not yet been created in your
life?
It’s
possible that you may come up with several things that you have
longed for.
Be sure to keep this list simple, yet very profound so
that you can be sure you are allowing your deeper seeded
longings to surface and become clear in your mind.
It is the deep inner longings that are connected to our
life’s spiritual purpose.
Once
you have clarity of your deepest yearnings begin to visualize
ways in which these deeper needs may be fulfilled and take this
clear visualization and seed it deeply into the center of your
being.
From this inner place of knowledge and vision ask, how
have the choices you have made served to fulfill or not fulfill
your deepest longings?
What choices can you make that will serve to synchronize
the desires of personality with your inner spiritual desire?
In what ways can you seek to fulfill the needs of your
spiritual purpose?
As
you continue to move into yourself and allow your consciousness
to expand with the awareness of the totality of your being you
will begin to experience an inner connection to the great
unfolding plan of salvation as it continues to unfold over the
face of the earth, intensifying and bringing with it greater
understanding and clarification of the processes of the movement
of consciousness.
We
are an intricate piece within this plan or we would not be here
upon the earth in this moment of time.
In this we are both the observer and the creator.
We are not simply a part of a pattern of the movement of
consciousness we are the entire pattern itself.
And
each of us has brought with us the inner consciousness of what
we came here to accomplish and heal through the fulfillment of
our life task and this is directly connected to the desires of
the personality.
As we heal the distortions of self, so does the earth
heal herself.
It is the continual process of our deeper intelligence
and consciousness perpetually grasping itself into higher and
higher levels of consciousness in which individualized
consciousness contributes to and affectively changes the whole
of consciousness.
In
order to fulfill the inner spiritual longing in life, it becomes
a matter of finding the parts of us where shadows and
distortions have been created, where we have not yet met the
needs our deepest desires and then synchronizing our personal
desires with our original spiritual longing that rests deeply
within the center of our being.
It is when our personal desires are clear and unblemished
that they become the manifestation of our deeper held spiritual
longing.
Essentially
all of us have a deep yearning within, a longing to know who we
are from the consciousness of our true inner self.
We all have the desire to allow the expression of our
divine core up well and go forth into our lives in every way
possible.
We all long to create from the divinity within us,
however, what each of us chooses these creations to be are
different for each of us as individuals.
While we each share in many of the same needs from a
human perspective, the need for healing the patterns created on
an individual basis varies.
Yet all of these become an interchange of feedback
between individual consciousness and the whole of consciousness.
Let’s
say, for example, that an individual doesn’t have an intimate
relationship with another person, but wants one.
This person feels a longing and has a personal desire to
meet a personal need.
Underneath this personal expression and need is a deeper
spiritual longing for communion and affinity for spiritual
relationship with the inner self.
It
is by allowing the feeling of that longing to come into focus
and by allowing the self to actually feel the pain of
loneliness, despair and all the other feelings attached to it,
and then by allowing these feelings to flow through the self,
that we then are able to open our heart and create the space to
allow what we desire to come to us.
As
this individual allows the self to experience this darkness
discovery is made.
The person learns how they have been preventing the
creation of relationship and confusion is banished, so out of
the darkness comes forth light and understanding.
Out of the emptiness arise the beginnings of perception
of what this individual may need to do to be open to and create
this relationship in their life.
What
is oftentimes seen are the ways in which an individual prevents
his or her self from creating and fulfilling their deepest
longing.
Then, of course, when the relationship eventually comes
into the individual’s life, this person is faced with more
longings for communion that are deeper still, and once again is
faced with this transforming spiritual work as the process of
clearing and healing continues.
This is the process of all human transformation.
A
very important part of synchronizing our personal desires with
our spiritual longings in this transformation process is the
continual fabrication of a superstructure of faith and hope.
Faith is what carries us step by step into and through
the dark recesses of our inner burrows of life toward the hope
for the fulfillment of our deepest longing.
It is the process of cause and effect, the process of
motivational desire and fulfillment; it is riding the pulse of
the creative wave deeply ingrained within the depths of our
inner being.
This is the longing of life itself.
