The number one challenge you might face as a spiritual seeker is this one:

Receiving a teaching without losing your power.

You can connect with groups, or organizations or masters which do put you down.

This can create a sense of pressure and isolation and disempowers you on the long term.

The problem is that many spiritual systems out there can feel limiting.

You will meet many rules, guidelines, the “culture of organizations” what is accepted or not.

Before you notice it, you can get entangled within mind sets which limit your progress rather than encourage it.

There are different ways of relating to spiritual energy realities.

Control is not needed!

You can walk the path and feel free.

You might have come across a teaching, movement or group and felt turned off by rules and obvious limiting beliefs.

Right now, seekers like you want space and freedom.

You don’t want to feel limited with a set of beliefs which stops your spiritual development rather than encouraging it.

You can progress on your spiritual path and stay in charge of your life.

This is about your agenda!

You decide what you want and when you want it.

Respect works both ways and it is great to show respect and openness towards a master or teaching.

Now, there is no need to make yourself smaller than you are.

You can walk the path and enjoy your ego at the same time.

Nowadays, giving up your power and the pillars of your personal foundation is dangerous because it makes you very vulnerable towards the world you live in.

You can enjoy a full level of satisfaction on all levels of your existence.

You stay the center of your existence.

Sure, you can enjoy highly devotional sessions with an Indian master but there is no need to give away your power base and power core.

You sense this inner need for freedom and the goal is to grow and expand as a full human being, not to surrender your will and life destiny.

You are in charge!

You choose!

You are the center of your life.

You own your spiritual authority.

It is okay to test what is told to you.

You can of course show respect to someone who knows more than you do on a topic.

No need however to make yourself smaller than you are.

You are in charge of your existence! No one else is.

The moment you give up your power, you create an energy gap and can feel powerless very fast.

This is what tends to happen when you join a group or movement.

Some of these movements function within an archaic mind set.

Rules and controlling patterns go far beyond what is actually needed.

This happens for a reason. These patterns related with the Guru-Disciple relationship have been around for thousands of years.

Many tradition and spiritual transmissions are based on this relationship.

Now, the planet and human consciousness have been tuning into new models.

There are new spiritual laws emerging which recreate the dynamics of spiritual transmission and the way you relate to spiritual authority.

Anything which is alienating in one way or another limits your mind.

The goal nowadays is to establish a one on one connection with sources of spiritual authority.

Your source of spiritual inspiration can be your best friend rather than a ruling monarch.

You can choose the model which fits you best.

What do you want?

You clearly have the choice!

When you function within a spiritual movement or organization, there are 3 energy realities involved:

· You, your being, life, career, family, belonging, etc.

· The leader of the organization.

· The organization itself, or group.

The interests of an organization are very different than your own interests. They are as well different than the interests of the leader.

In today’s equation, your individual interest’s often come last.

An organization can have so much power that it even overlaps the will of the leader.

You can compare this model to a business organization or company.

The dynamics of a manifested spiritual organization are not different.

These organizations can be sometimes full of tensions and inner battles.

These have to do with “politics” and don’t really help you in your spiritual development, right?

You, as an individual want one thing:

· A clear connection with a source of inspiration

· A user’s friendly environment

· A sense of space and freedom

· An empowering community

Communities can be very empowering but they can be very limiting as well.

An organization can get entangled in practicalities and blinded to a point where it totally forgets about the individual interests.

Why does this happen?

In a way because you let it happen.

To tell you the truth, when you come anywhere near a spiritual organization, you can feel straight away if this will help you grow or not.

When an organization is established there is often not much you can do to change it as an outsider.

Suppose you walk into a restaurant and don’t like the menu: you can either spend energy trying to tell the chef that the menu does not match your needs. On the other hand, you can as well walk further until you find a restaurant and menu which does truly match what you are looking for.

This is where it all starts!

You are free!

You are a free spirit!

The moment you incarnate, you start manifesting forms which belong to the reality around you.

You want to reconnect with this sense of inner freedom.

You want to master your life.

You want to master your mind.

You want to connect with your universal identity and explore the full range of your potentials.

It is your birth right to engage in this quest.

It is a conquering move.
