Spiritual Evolution and Discovery

It will be discovered that all experiences and phenomena have an intrinsic value to spiritual evolution and discovery. Eventually, it becomes necessary to simply subordinate the personal will to the process itself, which tends to become progressively stronger. The unfolding of the life of the serious spiritual devotee becomes increasingly orchestrated by the Self rather
than the ego/self. Former presumptions become meaningless, and Divine Intelligence and awareness reinterpret meanings that were once considered beyond comprehension. Thereby does the world continuously become ā€˜newly bornā€™ each instant, as by the radiance of the Self, the clouds of illusion fade away and Essence replaces appearance.
