Each person is on a unique spiritual journey through life. It has been my experience that the spiritual journey is an awakening to True Self which is the place of genuine human freedom and opening to the Divine within each of us. Increasing awareness of your True Self is a process of personal transformation leading to experience ever deepening levels of relationship with God, other people and all of creation.
Though you are ultimately responsible for navigating the twists and turns of your own spiritual journey, it is not meant as a solo-trip. All things are created by God to be in relationship! At times in your life, usually difficult ones, you recognize a deep need for and longing to connect with God and with others. At these times, your dependence on God becomes very real and you soon realize that the help, spiritual support and inspiration of others is also vitally important.
