When life on the spiritual path begins, it seems life will be bliss. You will be zen with yoga, tea, and butterflies dancing around.

The truth is, the further into the path, the harder it gets. So why do it? Well because the more you are tested, the more opportunities you have to pass, and when you pass the easier your control over your responses, perception, and ability to love others where they are, becomes. So, what does these paths look like?

So, lets go through the stages of spirituality/awakenness, and for a small backstory on this book, the sensei in the house made a nijabread man to test each student down the path:

1. The tempter leaves on God’s command
2. He arrives at the beginner, who is trying to balance their new ideas against their current life
3. Then, he arrives at the intermediate, who is trying to control their evil ways and make serious changes
4. After, he comes to the advanced person who is actively fighting spiritual attacks, and doing well with God, and angels on their side
5. Finally, he arrives at the master. who has gone through a dark night, ensoulment, sought God, put on the armour of God, has self-love, completed inner child work, and accepts others because they too are on the journey; and more

This book’s first images hosted such a monumental signifcance for me, so I wanted to share because being awoke is something a lot wonder about, and what the technique is. The truth is all paths are different in detail, but the points are the same. Just imagine it like this, being awake is just finally realizing the things that sparkle in life do nothing but distract from the dull items in life, that truly are the quarks (basic elements) of life.

I can provide help with any of these stages here, Sam’s Thoughts, Instagram, Facebook, or Website; your choice!

BTW shout out to this great book!!!
