So High the Climb
Step by Step Approaching Divine Heights
It is said among many saints and mystics, that at the peak of the mountain lies a hidden doorway leading to many secret passageways to the spirit world. Obtaining the spiritual strength to attempt the climb is accessible. Our spiritual muscles need an enormous amount of inner strength to begin this mountain climb. Preparing to spiritually climb our personal mountain requires nourishment attained through inner reflection, and casting aside what no longer serves us here in the present. The harder we push, our thoughts are gathered and placed appropriately, as we ascend up the mountain.
As we progress as individuals within the Mystery School, the steps are almost effortlessly placed there before us. Our journey upward to reach the top is a slow process, unknowing of what truly lies ahead. The magnetic force that energetically focuses our attention upward, is a tugging of the heart stings to the soul. As we navigate our route up the mountain we must know there is no turning back. This is a solo journey of experience with no traveling companions. The climb is made while holding only one hand — this is the hand of God.
Steadily traveling up, we gain new consciousness. Our inner and outer perceptions begin to mold into a completely different light than ever imagined. The signs of encouragement from fellow Adepts, Teachers, Guides, and RMs as they patiently watch in the distance ahead of us, humbly welcoming our efforts with open arms. Suddenly we begin to question why we ever did stay on the valley floor of the mountain for so long. Or even why did we choose to stay in the comfort and security with others after hearing of the spiritual mysteries that await. Then we realize that timing is arranged to our exact level of learning, which explains why our time restraints here in the now captivate our true selves, hence causing us physical time delays. This strengthens our perceptions and allows us to practice patience with our energy on a daily basis.
The amazing, transformational shedding of one’s self that occurs as we climb breaks ground for any struggles and hardships that may emerge as we travel upward. In essence. this brings us closer to enter the secret passageway to an unexplainable spiritual freedom and liberation of this dimension. One of the lessons we are taught as we strive upward is that the climb is a sacrificial one. Major sacrifices need tending to if we want to be successful in our journey. Surrendering our fears to the light does not mean turning our back on others, rather patiently cheering them on as they no longer can resist the pull. The key here to note is that the “pull” we all individually experience is designed to place us back into our forgotten “contracted” higher spiritual level, uniquely different than the next. It is by our actions alone that ignite the light within to radiate outward.
I am grateful along with you, to have experienced the valley floor, as it proved to be a a beginning foundation, which led my awakened senses to experience the pull within me. As I ascend upward my whole reality has shifted as well as my former perceptions of others who remain on the valley floor. In order to understand what it is like to be on that mountain, we must take the first step. By purifying our consciousness — our inner realities transmute to unfamiliar territory that harbors a safe sanctuary within each and every one of us.
