The spiritual journey first follows the path of personality to explore limitation and separation. It then takes the path of soul to reconnect with expansiveness and unity.
Here’s another bird’s eye view of how our lives unfold to awaken our consciousness:
1. Unconscious love: When we are born, we exist as pure love but we are not conscious of our love.
2. Unconscious fear: Our souls have set the stage for our evolution. As we grow, unconscious fears arise in our personalities that draw experiences to us that wound us.
3. Conscious fear: Our wounds bring pain and suffering that enable us to become conscious of our fears.
4. Conscious love: When we’ve suffered enough pain, we are motivated to move through our fears to consciously experience the love that supports all.
