I find that a lot of what is required on this path is repetitive. Pray and meditate, pray and meditate. For our minds, which like to be busy, this can be boring.
My response to this is always the same. You are doing it wrong. Unless you are LOVING IT, you are doing it wrong.

Thanks Jane for reinforcing the message I was attempting to convey. There is no down side to committing to this path. I think of it as a way of life, my foundation and my strength. I do feel that I have been tested. I get glimpses into the judgements others have of me and I believe that negative forces will always keep up a vigil of attack and use whomever they can to send negativity our way. Its easy for others to judge and therefore open a channel for negativity. That is the way of the world. These attacks sometimes come in waves. While in Blackpool an individual associated with the WHC took me aside and accused me of many vile acts which I did not do and a few days later two posts showed up here attacking me and my integrity( they were removed quickly so I don't think that any of you saw them). I'm not trying to gain sympathy by telling you this but as these events unfolded, I know that they were in some way orchestrated from the other side ( negative forces)and they were designed to sow doubt and serious conflict within me. I must say that I'm happy with my responses to these attacks . I did not react as you might imagine but felt calm and centered. I'm sure that our angel friends helped a great deal. I can tell you we are protected when needed and I sure needed it that day. I retrospect, I certainly have been mulling over what happened and my ego is not happy with being, in my mind, blatantly accused of what is pure nonsense.
I believe that the onslaught of negativity comes when we are getting closer to a breakthrough or new level in our work. These attacks are often not born out of constructive criticisms but are emotionally charged, often irrational judgements coming out of left field. I think that we are most vulnerable when they come from people we love and trust. There may be a seed of truth to what is said but the volume of vitriol which comes with the delivery will often indicate that this is more than just a knee jerk reaction to something. Any of us can be used by negative forces in this way so being personally vigilant is important. Our negative judgements are the door to acting in conjunction with negative forces. If you are being attacked, be calm and pray if you can . Listen with your calm self and hope that you can hear with discernment what is being said. Hard to do when you are being blasted with emotional baggage but if you can hear with a sort of detachment, you may be able to separate the facts from the fiction. It is our own negative reactions which opens the door to negative forces. Law of attraction folks.
Following this path does have many challenges. This is why a measure of dedication helps us to avoid inner conflicts and doubt. This is not to say that our knowledge of the truth is perfect and complete. We will discover much more as we progress in our souls . Progression comes with prayer and being in the flow of God's Love. Yes, its almost too simple and not particularly stimulating to the intellect but when you are in your soul consciousness, material mind thoughts are boring in comparison. Our goal is to get there and live in this way. If we can go there then we will be unassailable . There are many goals ahead, levels to achieve and awareness's to uncover. Our souls are the key, which in turn communes with God who supplies us with truth along with His Love.So simple and so powerful. I hope that you all agree. Much love.......Al
