Even though we often speak of it being the “higher life,” the authentic spiritual journey is not so much about a direction in life as it is about an expansion of it.

Whenever you have an expansive moment of understanding, it is you that is opening up, entering into something that was always there, and that will always be there… forever continually becoming more of itself. This new self-understanding is like finding yourself within a beautiful sphere of light that is always larger than you are, even though it is within what you are. And within its new revelations are your new intentions, new energies, new everything. This unfolding process of infinite possibilities is a miracle. It is in you, yet you are in it, and the whole affair is always new, never expected.
