I thought of a good point of cleansing and detoxifying our system: It is important to stay in tune with our mind, body and spirit as we purify our selves. We may see things that other people are doing and may think that what they are doing is right for us, although it may not be. So this is what I find as one of the most important aspects of purification, it is doing what is right for you right now. No skipping or getting crazy, the reason is, that each person is different and the divine works through all of us differently. So if we are trying to do what we think we should be doing and not what we are being guided to do instead, we may be missing the very boat we are trying to get on.
The idea is to stop thinking. Stop feeling what is wrong and right and good and bad. None of this has any relevance. What is important is what is right for you right now. And you know what that is. There is something to be said for going the “extra mile” but in a purification stage, nothing is to be looked down upon. You are where you are because of the divine life that you live. When your intentions are to purify, you are, just by intending, going to attract purification into your life, you need not fret about chasing purification or getting it to you. Just be as you are led to be.
The reason I am saying all this, is because I thought I had to get away from society to be pure. And not be “corrupted”. And sure it is easy to get caught in the cross fire of the market and the marketing, but that is all a choice. We need not be involved with anything that we don’t want to be involved in. The idea is to do as we are instructed. And to do as we are divinely inspired. It is not an ego trip, “look what I can do”; it is a relationship with the divine creator of all things. So in doing what we are instructed to do, it is important to focus on the task at hand and not get to crazy with what we are doing. In a diet sense we could end up severely damaging ourselves unnecessarily just by trying to go to fast, or doing something that we are not yet ready for, nor have we been instructed or guided to do.
This can happen in any type of training. Think of a weight lifter who tries to lift too much weight before building the strength and ability to do so. He can cause permanent damage to his muscles. Just the same when detoxing and purifying the body, mind, heart, and spirit. So we must find the balance between purification and the right timing for each different and subtle stage of purification. I am of the belief that when it is right purification happens naturally and with guidance and direction whether internal or external. The right things are brought to us at the right time to take part in, or to be trained in, and we are able to take part upon being ready. So we must let our lives take their paths. With out trying to go to fast, and putting our selves in a position of weakness and self deprivation, instead taking and having faith in the divine guidance and timing, that everything is right, and when you are ready for the next step of purification everything will be presented. Until then continue with your current status and do the best that you can. There is nothing wrong with where you are. It is perfect. Understand that when things are supposed to change they will and if you let go, it will all happen seamlessly. Do as you are instructed to do, and until you are instructed to go further, get really, really, really, great at what you are doing, so when the next step does come along, you will be ready. If you try to skip ahead quickly, you may miss an important aspect of your life training, and as you continue to jump the gun, to what you think you should be doing, you miss your actual training and end up in an endless cycle of repetition, rather than building a strong foundation with quality, and care, through love and dedication to the divine way of life. When we are truly guided to the next step it will happen perfectly, and most likely with out notice. Let Go! Surrender! Follow the divine guidance!
