Chronicles of the Journeyed Warrior Volume I Seek to Understand

In this Earth realm, like any other teaching establishment, you get out of it what you put in. You can choose to complain about the décor, the teachers, the teaching style, the quality of the materials, or the cafeteria food. You may compare what you have to what others have, whatever. Just focus on the learning and you’ll do fine. Of course, here in the Earth realm, lessons and experiences are not labeled explicitly for you and neither are your teachers. Teachers can be positively or negatively oriented. One needs to search for the light in each circumstance. My mom used to tell me as she sent me off to school, “Remember you are there to drink milk not to count cows.” Meaning keep the main thing the main thing. I’m here to learn, not to get distracted by superficial appearances or judgments. Don’t waste time complaining and arguing with the teachers. They have already established themselves (with education, job and own place to live) you are the student with much to learn. In all the learning, try not to destroy the place. Looking back over my life I can now appreciate how each experience has shaped the person I am now. Am I resentful of or ashamed of the poverty-stricken circumstances of my home country? Am I upset about my dysfunctional family circumstances? Do I condemn religious institutions and their interpretations of who God is? Am I dismissive of distorted teachings from educational institutions or life under unjust government practices? Not at all. Through the eyes of divine love, I can recognize these teachers and caregivers at different stages of my development, painful as it may be. As I awakened to who I am, at each stage I grew in wisdom, developing my inner knowing of the God in me. I developed an uncanny tenacity to live and thrive no matter the condition. I learned to advocate for myself. I learned to commune with God and develop a relationship for myself. I learned to see and respect God in others and the world around me. I learned to water my own patch of grass. Please visit www.journeyedwarrior.org
