The Path Less Travelled… And How To Tackle It
By Open ..Contributing writer for Wake Up World
Are you one of those whose truly seeking, truly searching
for the deeper meaning of the moment to ignite your life? Plenty say they are,
but then the Path Less Traveled is littered with people who fell by the
wayside, those who took the soft, comfortable option of staying where they are,
in that safe, predictable space. But if you’re reading this, then for sure at
the heart of you, is a burning light, that although may get stuck in a lay-by
from time to time, is yearning to return to the highway, to be a constant
flaming brilliance, all the time, as a way of living.
So what does it really mean to be walking this “Path Less
Traveled?” How might you be inspired to continue, when all around often seem
conforming and conservative?
Light Warriors Carving the Future
Yes, in the spiritual mainstream, you’ll hear plenty about
surrender and letting go. But how often is that used as an excuse for non
committal? For giving up at the first hurdle: “Oh it’s not meant to be.” Says
who? Did you check all the signs, or just the convenient ones?
The journey up the spiritual mountain is the Path Less
Traveled because plenty of people got softened into the easiness of the base
camp – not working too hard, conforming with everyone else (including the
spiritual mainstream), taking the moment as it goes, conveniently forgetting
that the moment has future-landing-now encapsulated within it. A future, that
as warriors of light, we were given to carve.
It’s easy to stay small. There are 7 billion reasons, 7
billion daily reflections why to stay in the cage. And as soon as you dare to
step out, the naysayers will be telling you you’re crazy, “don’t be stupid, get
back in the box, shangri la la land doesn’t exist”.
But for those on the path, something sits uncomfortably
inside you about that.
Nothing to lose
You know there’s a different way, a more expanded way, a
more connected way. And although it’s seldom easy, in your heart-of-hearts, you
just know it can work – that miracles and magic will click in around you, if
you can dare to take that step.
And what really have you got to lose?
Maybe you’ll have to give up that safe and predictable 9-5.
Maybe you won’t always know where the resources are going to come from. Maybe
in order to be truly you, you’ll have to risk that your relationship won’t work
out the way you would have liked — the convenient and comfortable one, where no
one is put out or truly tested to be who they really are.
But you’re not going to do that now are you? Because you
know, ultimately, to bury yourself under a mountain of untruth, is, in the long
run, much more painful than climbing it.
(Here’s how to climb
the mountain.)
Making the intangible tangible
The road less traveled is full of intangibility. Whilst the
comfortable rut is right there: it’s solid, predictable and known well by the
many. You can lean on it, rest in it, be propped up by it. But in the authentic
reality of myth and metaphor, you’ll have to take a risk, to step out into the
unknown, not knowing where it might lead, or how you might be supported.
But that’s the point, if you want to learn how to fly, you
have to unfurl your wings, and trust that they’ll hold you aloft on something
you’ve never known before… something as subtle as air.
Because that’s what this Path Less Traveled is all about —
it’s mystical, etheric, full of the intangible. It’s your destiny to make it
real, to bring it into being, to say by your very actions: “Look, this is
possible, it can be done!”
Realising why we create the obstacles
The Path Less Traveled is of course the inner journey. It’s
about not immediately settling for the quick fix in the outer world, the
immediate solution, the soft but convenient option. It’s realising that you
have to work — at yourself — to unfold the true path of light. It’s easy to
keep doing what we’ve always done.
The hardest thing is to change yourself. Because that takes
responsibility, ownership of your shit and a willingness to change. If you can
dig deep, and find this quality, if you can own your creative path, then you
have what it takes to meet the crucial obstacles of change — those inside
yourself.
There’ll come a point, where you stop seeing the outer
obstacle as something you’ve got to fix, get past or get over. Instead you’ll
surrender into the real reason why you created the obstacle in the first place:
the pain inside of you where the light gets buried in the blurred haziness of
uncertainty. But you’ll stop trying to avoid it, stop popping the pill or
immediately grabbing for that quick fix crutch.
Instead you’ll look right into the jaws of it and say: “Fuck
it, I’ve had enough now, the pain can’t define me anymore, I’m going right into
the heart of it.” And so you look right into it’s contracting jaws and say “No
more! I will not be defined by you, I will unfold and unwind right through you…
you son-of-a-bitch!”
This is what defines the Path Less Traveled. The inner path.
The journey of purpose, to the realisation of who you truly are. And then the
actualisation of it, moment by moment, as the most profoundly magical way of
being and living.
Expanding Consciousness in the Great 5D Shift
Right now, the Path Less Traveled, in the next chapter of
the human journey, leads right into “heaven” — the New Paradigm in the Fifth
Density. It’s a way of living and connecting with life in total harmony, on
outstretched wings, supported by the uplifting wind of the universe.
Plenty will tell you it’s just a new age pipe dream. The
crowd will say it’s all smoke and mirrors. The naysayers will tell you you’re
crazy. Daily there’ll be 7 billion reasons why you’re supposed to believe them.
But you’re past that now aren’t you? You’re just not going to listen anymore.
Because in your heart you already know, the Path Less Traveled is YOUR path,
not theirs, and it’s your very reason for being.
Let them say “Nay”, because in your heart and mind, you’ve
already said “Yeah!”
And if you’re one of the “Yeah Sayers”, there’ll surely be a
place waiting for you, with your name on it.
