This is part 3 of a 3 part series. You can start with Part 1 – Spiritual Information – and Part 2, How I Stopped Repeating the Same Painful Lessons is here if you’d like to read them before you read this.

It’s possible to become masterful at collecting information, even information from the best spiritual sources, powerful teachers and writers and still be closed off, angry and miserable.

I used to think, “I know these spiritual principles. I’m such a good student. I get A’s on everything.” That was my ego, enticing me to stay stuck in my intellect rather than moving into my heart. The ego’s always trying to figure out things that Spirit knows. It’s a lot of smoke and mirrors formed around wild goose chases and interminable rabbit holes.

I find it so helpful to know that if I don’t understand something it’s because I’m holding onto a block to Love, when I let it go, when the Love flows, the knowledge will too. Ego doesn’t understand anything because when we’re ego identified we’re cut off from the source of all wisdom – by our own choice.

Part of what was so time and energy consuming was my obsessively, compulsively thinking about how to figure things out. I was convinced that finding an intellectual spiritual method would help me heal. I thought if I read all these books, and listened to all these classes, and listened to lots of audios it would somehow heal my mind.

I’m here to say that it does not. Collecting information is a distraction. It doesn’t heal. I’ve done the research.

When we let go of the blocks to Love, and allow the Love to flow in our heart, in our life, in our conversations, we reconnect to our true identity and then the Wisdom flows too.

Every single moment offers us an opportunity to do this, to return to the beginning through forgiveness. Forgiveness is a spiritual practice that brings us to a place of being able to finally learn the lessons from our errors.

Without forgiveness we must keep repeating the errors.

When we don’t forgive, it’s a kind of arrogance we’re adopting that says “I think I know what everything is for, and I’ve decided it’s not for my good.

These judgments prevent us from really understanding what things are for. Which prevents us from harvesting the learning from our experiences.

Without any learning, we’re just repeating the same errors and feeling more and more foolish.

When we develop the spiritual maturity of being able to forgive, release the judgment and harvest the learning comes a sweet and great gratitude for the learning. That’s one of the things that is such a key component to my life, everything that I share, and the teaching in my Masterful Living Program.

Together, as a community, we learn to live from the heart, being loving and forgiving. It heals our whole life, and it raises up our loved ones, our co-workers and our friends. Forgiveness as a spiritual practice is just one day at a time, one moment at a time, and one choice at a time. That’s the only way that there really is to do it.

It’s a living spiritual practice of being loving.

We can’t get it from a book, but we can get it from listening to each other and hearing Spirit’s Voice in each other’s voice. We can get it from being Prayer Partners together, and helping each other to release the shame and the blame.

Together we cultivate our spiritual maturity through a practice of non-judgment, and harvesting the learning. It’s amazing, miraculous and it’s deeply healing!

We come back into our right mind and we feel so different about everything – especially ourselves, and especially about what’s possible for us. When we let the Love flow it’s refreshing, renewing, and revitalizing. We’re reborn into the Spirit and made brand new. There’s nothing we could do that could be more helpful or important than this. It’s heroic work.

This is our destiny and we’re getting there together!
