At the conception of our spirit, the Creator carved off a piece of Itself and blew the piece into our soul. The spark ignited our hopes and dreams. Brightly lit by the spirit spark, we chose our life lessons, conspired with others to meet our challenges, and committed to living our soul purpose.
“What could go wrong?” we thought as we prepared for this life. Even the trauma of entering this world was not enough to dim our hope and dreams. We were ready to successfully take on our chosen challenges. We had the knowledge! We had the skills! We would meet our challenges, learn our lessons, and come through this life more connected spirit spark to Creator.
But, life happened. As we grew into this existence and experienced the wonder on this side of the veil, little by little we forgot who we were. We became students at times overwhelmed by the lessons we had chosen. Our vessel began to crack. Hairline fractures began to appear. In the weight of being we were no longer perfect beings of light.
Or, was that a challenge ridden illusion? Are we defined by our imperfections? Although each of us has imperfections, they are not negatives — they are gifts to light the way of our soul purpose. They help us remember who we are not. When we meet the challenge inherent in each imperfection, our spirit spark grows brighter.
So, what are these imperfections? They are grown in the soil fertilized by our judgments, assumptions, and biases. Our imperfections trigger fear-filled reactions and create barriers to compassionate response. Our imperfections are as unique to us as our soul purpose.
Let’s return to the rhythm of our soul purpose. With each successful challenge met and lesson learned, our spirit spark burns brighter, hotter. It singes away part of the illusion of who we are not. We clearly see the path we walk — and the challenges, pebble and boulder, strewn about. We become awake to our soul purpose and we navigate through each marvelous challenge.
We know with certainty that to navigate each challenge, to learn each lesson is to draw further down our path of soul purpose. And, when we finally walk across the threshold between here and there, we will celebrate that the life we lived as an honest reflection our truest self.
