The purpose of spiritual practice is to discover what is already there, to open up a way to access that which we are. Realize what is already so. This is the real work.

The shift in our perspective that occurs when we realize that what we are looking for is already within us makes all of the difference. Understanding the purpose of meditation and spiritual practices supports our motivation to do it regularly. We still work at it, but without the striving of ego to be good, better, or more spiritual.

The results of our spiritual practice are consistent with our focus. It is not how hard we work at it, but how focused we are and how intentionally we live.

Life is eternal. It goes on with or without our recognition or cooperation. A human being can recognize this gift and consciously embrace it. God can then be God in and through us. “In us” is given. “Through us” requires our cooperation.

When we reach a roadblock, it is not time to give up, it is time to “pray up.”
