We have spent our lives fighting for the aims of our Lower Self. Now we must learn to fight the good fight.
The Pathwork Guide explores what it truly means to align our will with God’s will—and why this inner shift is both challenging and essential.
While many believe in God in a general way, far fewer experience a personal connection with Christ. The primary obstacle is not distance from God, but inner barriers—especially feelings of unworthiness, guilt and self-rejection. To open to divine love, we must face these inner distortions honestly, without falling into self-condemnation.
This path requires a delicate balance: being rigorous in uncovering our Lower Self while also extending compassion toward ourselves. At the same time, we are asked to surrender our personal will—trusting that God’s will leads to greater fulfillment than our own limited understanding.
Progress often involves patience. Even sincere efforts may not immediately bring a felt sense of connection, as inner resistances must gradually dissolve.
The “good fight” is the shift from passively following negativity to actively choosing truth, love and growth. It means questioning thoughts that create disharmony and aligning with deeper truth.
As we learn to trust Christ’s presence—and reflect that same acceptance toward ourselves—we restore inner harmony and transform struggle into spiritual strength.
