The Paradox Of The Journey




All major mystical traditions
Have recognized
That there is a paradox
At the heart of the journey
Of return to Origin.
Put simply,
This is that
We are already what we seek,
And that what we are looking for on the Path
With such an intensity of striving
And passion
And discipline
Is already within and around us
At all moments.

The journey and all its different ordeals
Are all emanations of the One Spirit
That is manifesting everything
In all dimensions;
Every rung of the ladder we climb
Toward final awareness
Is made of the divine stuff of awareness itself;
Divine Consciousness is at once
Creating and manifesting all things
And acting in and as all things
In various states of self-disguise
Throughout all the different levels
And dimensions
Of the universe.
