This spiritual path works from the outside in. It must. Because the outer layers of our psyche are what we have direct access to. For a moment, though, let’s look at this from the other end of the telescope. In other words, let’s look at how we’ve ended up fighting between ourselves, against ourselves and within ourselves. How did we get so lost?
One could say that God is who created spiritual laws. But it would be more correct to say God is spiritual laws. They are kind and loving, letting us choose whether to follow them. More aptly, we get to choose how much pain we want to tolerate.
You could say that the search for untruth—and more importantly, for how to correct it— is the whole point of incarnating. But how? Where do we even start? Believe it or not, the most logical place to search for the truth is to look for the untruth. We start by facing ourselves as we are right now. Where are we struggling? What in our life hurts? Where is there disharmony, conflict, unhappiness? For these are not random, unfortunate fates we can’t control. Rather, they are the natural results of untruth. And we only need to turn and face into our difficulties to realize this.
