Two Steps Forward One Step Back

I have been studying numerous religions for a long period of time. I hear the same phrases over and

over again.

However, many of these people are missing out on one huge concept, degradation.

I’ve attended many seminars and workshops and listened to gurus,

leadership experts, priest and priestess all talk about the same

thing. They speak about enlightenment, about peace of

mind, and awareness.

There is the law of gravity that pulls us down; it keeps us near

the earth and from floating away. However, gravity can be our

worst enemy when it comes to spiritual-development.

The best way to explain degradation is to imagine going

into a seven-story walk up building. Each floor represents

a stage of development that you have to pass through in order to reach the top. The top is like the

pen house suite.

In spiritual terms this pen house suite is a symbolization of

completeness, where you are freed from the confines of the physical body. Many mystics believe that reaching the top allows one to tap

into innate powers and magical abilities.

Others believe that the top is where the soul is free from the wheels of life that forces

reincarnation.

The goal is to get to the top. Each level has its own vibrational frequency that you need to master. As you climb the stairs you become more powerful because the higher up you go the more you can see. However, there is one small problem. The law of degradation will pull you down. It will make it completely difficult if not almost impossible to get to the top.

Many people trip, fall, and stumble down the stairs. The higher they are, the harder the fall. Some people fall and can’t get back up again. While others get hurt and have to work to dress their wounds and heal before they make an attempt to climb the stairs again. Those who are wounded need to work twice as hard to make up for the ground that was lost.

This happens to many of us when we make bad choices and fall off

our path. The force of gravity sends us tumbling down. But that’s ok. The biggest problem that many

of us face is getting up again.

Many times, we don’t dress or wounds properly, or give ourselves enough time to heal. So we limp back up the stairs, knowing full

well that we are not strong enough to make it to the top.So we keep

falling down, over and over again, until we just give up.

We can see this with repeat criminal offenders, drug addicts, and even serial

daters.

The only way to combat the law of degradation is to completely heal our wounds. This means taking the time to reflect and look within. Healing is about

acceptance and taking responsibility for our lives.

We may need to change our stories. Or perhaps we need to change how we perceive our stories. Just understand that we can’t move forward when there is something that is broken inside of us. That brokenness will just hold us back.

Or we will find ourselves taking two steps forward and then one steps back.
