Endurance

Endurance is a state of being where we dislike what we have set out to do and we continue in spite of this.

Where a choice is made along a certain path, especially where it involves an act and a work of spiritual practice, the element that holds us increasingly further from our intended place of worship or of being is the act of endurance.

Others over many centuries have attributed virtue to endurance; that it must take suffering in order to achieve spiritual prowess.

This is not the case and is not expected by any area of spiritual or divine presence.

All that is required is a state of openness, of intention through love and of a willingness to be open to a greater enlightening beyond the physicality of this existence.

There is many a story of committed endurance, and some discomfort may be experienced in this work, but endurance is not a state of spiritual attainment, it is a state of competitive ego that plays out to undermine the sentimentality of the truly devoted and wholeheartedness of many.

But it is enough to work each day with a commitment to unfurl yourself to the connection and intention of a greater awareness and to, with a gentleness and compassion to self, go as far and as deep as you may in the understanding that you are working in this divine plan.

If there is a discomfort, then it is enough to pause and to understand the root or the cause of this discomfort and to stay with it a while so that it may know that it is too part of the process.

In the act of intention and the grace of connection there is an opportunity to move closer to the pattern of creation and to work within an opening of being.
