When it comes to channeling messages from the spirits for my customers, one of the pieces of advice I get all the time is one that, I'm sure, will surprise many readers, and it is "You are not as equipped to measure the results of your own work as you think you are." What does this truly mean, and why is this advice given so often?
To better illustrate this process, I'll use an example: you do prosperity work for your own business, or you pay someone to do it for you. You do affirmations, meditations, and any rituals that harmonize with your own spiritual path. After a month, you have barely made enough to pay the bills.
Your evaluation: this work did not bring me anything of value. Your faith dwindles, you feel isolated from the Spirits and unheard; you feel like you did not do it well, or not enough. You may feel like your investment has been completely lost.
The truth that only Spirits see: your work was perfect and needed, and it manifested as well as it could have worked. If you had not done it, events that were in your way would have led you to ending up homeless. The Spirits have been there with you at all times, fighting off those events from your path. You have even made enough to pay all your bills.
From their view, this is a complete success, and the point where you continue working on building your future prosperity. You are surrounded by love and protection, and truly thriving.
From our small, small perspective as humans, it is extremely difficult to measure our true position in the world; but from the Spirits' position, things are different. If you are walking under their protection, you should always trust them, and trust in the work that is done in their name, whether if you do it yourself, or if you ask a practitioner to perform it for you.
And this is one of the most important laws for any spiritual development; that appearances can be deeply misleading, to say the least, and that our faith should never depend on them. Our perception of our reality is only that, a perception, constantly blurred by circumstance, and by our difficulty to gain perspective. To have a spiritual path means to work constantly on strengthening our understanding of this law, and having the courage to live under it.
And yes, it is a work of courage. To believe in oneself, and in the success we decree through our spiritual work, is an act of courage. Why? Because it requires that we are ready to accept that we could be completely wrong about where we think we are, and that hurts our ego and its biases, and could destroy our own victim complex and self-abusing narratives. To believe in ourselves is to believe in the Spirits, and in all the forms that Divine Love has, because it means to believe that we are always chosen, heard, and loved.
