Spiritual Growth and the Pond
Kevino
The process of spiritual growth is the process of understanding. Everyone is constantly at the point of understanding.
It is like fishing in a stocked pond. One does not need a fancy fishing pole or even bait. All one needs to do is throw the hook in the water. The hook is the intention to understand. So long as you keep your hook in the water you will catch fish. The process is catch, release, catch release. Over time you catch bigger and bigger fish.
Then you catch you. Then bigger yous.
Trouble in the process is completely our not understanding. We are looking at something we chose to forget. So not only do we have to see it we must work through whatever it was that caused us to forget in the first place. This is not always pleasant as imagined failings and denials of self are often twined around these forgettings.
But so long as one dutifuilly keeps a line in the water, understanding will happen.
At some point it is likely to be well worth the hooks.

“catching you” and “catching bigger yous.” I like that perspective. Thank you for the insight.
I just love how you cut out all the fancy dancy talk and put things so clear! You always bring me light bulb moments. I get that 18 inch journey form the head to the heart. Thank again!
Thank you Veronica! Who we are and what our situation is are very simple facts. I think complexity was added in part by language differences and in part by trying to reach more complex ways of looking at things.
But the truth is easy to understand. The route, not so easy because each person has his or her own path. But help is available. We are in this togeher!
