The Path as obstacle

There is a common misunderstanding that occurs when seekers spend too much time on the Net, we become obssessed wit 'paths' and labels. Novices read about these two things so much they feel inadequate if they haven't chosen which path is theirs.

The fact is, you're on a path right now if you are seeking. A spiritual path is simply seeking your spiritual side. Everything else follows – labels, titles, practices, etc…

A path is a verb and noun – seeking is active. It is the active participation and seeking connection to the sacred that automatically places you on a path.

A truly spiritual walk can have you experimenting or just 'being' for decades and even a lifetime without you ever having a label to what you practice/believe in. It doesn't matter, it really doesn't.

In fact, not having a label may even be a benefit as labels can be a hindrance. For instance, you might be entwined with the label 'Wicca', rather than what you feel from inside.

Believe and worship every god ever known, explore a hundred different practices – what matters is your connection to the Spirit (whatever you feel that is).
