Things tend to happen in my life which seem to knock me off my path. So called bad things can interfere with my spiritual growth. If the universe is perfect, why does this happen?

Say I get sick, or lose my job, or any number of things which upset a certain stability in my life. Where has the perfection gone?

The perfection is still there. I have fallen into the trap of judging the events in my life as bad or even good. Life should be embraced completely and fully in all circumstances without judgement. When bad things happen, I have judged the situation as bad. When good things happen I have judged things as good. Both situations are traps or “learning experiences”. The goal is to join the perfection of my life. Avoiding things judged as bad and seeking things judged as good, may not be the best strategy for living my life. So, then how do I find my way?

What I look for is what is on my path. My path is determined by my intuitive guidance of what feels right for me to do. Sometimes it is better to do something painful but feels right than painless but feels wrong. The difference is subtle. My attitude is that my priority is to progress spiritually, every day begins with a meditation.

For me the trick is to be aware. Is something harmful or harmless? And wait for the intuitive guidance. Wait in the moment. Is it on my path or off my path? If I am not sure, wait. When in doubt, don’t.
Be in the moment. If you are grieving, fully grieve your grief. If you are sad, be sad. If you are happy, be happy.
