My Spiritual Experience

by Aura

pink-rose.jpgWhile you could say my journey to and up the mountain was driven by randomly picking a spot on a map and everything that occurred was just something my own mind conjured up. Yes, you could definitely say that.

I’m not going to dispute that what happens to us in this in life is made up a lot of things we cause. Life is what we make of it and we often reap what we sow, so to say. A negative person is going to find other negative people to be around or is going to be alone, thus enforcing the negativity towards life and others.

However, if you said that about my journey, I would point you to athletes who say that you never truly know yourself until you find your physical limits. You never truly find the person inside until you have breached all barriers of doubt and fear.

So if you are uncomfortable with calling my journey a spiritual one or with me saying I found the peace I was meant to find by going there, then think of it like an athlete thinks: I went hiking.

On that hike I wanted to turn back many times for many reasons, but I kept on because I had a goal I wanted to accomplish. It was only when I stopped wanting to turn back that I felt like I accomplished that goal.

And having accomplished that goal, I feel like a better person.

Funny how so many of us say the same thing, just in different ways…
