Vulnerability

The spiritual path takes vulnerability and courage. So does any endeavor in personal growth. 

Courage to do what, specifically? 

Courage to honestly examine your life, and to realize that the way you've been doing things isn't working for you. In other words, it isn't bringing you constant, lasting happiness. 

Also, let's include vulnerability, the courage to ask for help.

This episode is about admitting that you don't have all the answers and asking for help, because help is most definitely available. 

You can ask for help in a conversation with a human teacher, or you can ask for it via prayer. Either way, this vulnerability is tremendous for learning to set the ego aside. The ego wants you to think you have all the answers, that you're a rugged individualist who doesn't need anyone else. 

How is that working out for you, though? 

This episode is a salute and a huge shout out to all of you on the path, who have shown vulnerability and courage and have begun the process we all ultimately go through. It can be scary, yes, especially when we consider that most of us are absolutely not conditioned in our societies to be vulnerable. Showing it requires the utmost courage.

And I thank you for that.
