One of the most common things we see in the spirituality/personal growth/self improvement world is people continually doing their 'work' in order to try to reach a 'revelation' that they hope will change thier lives.
People do all sorts of things - plant medicine journies, long fasts, super energetic meditation sessions, travel the world to meet with gurus and guides - all in the hopes that they will finally 'see' the 'thing' that's blocking them from being able to live the lives they want to live and to be the person they want to be.
This makes sense - in our world today we are constantly being fed these kind of 'testimonials' of people who seemingly DID some sort of radical something that led to that 'breakthrough' moment that then changed the course of their lives forever.
People talking about finally 'seeing the truth' about their trauma and just letting it go.
People understanding some truth about the universe that then led them to being able to abandon all their 'bad habits' and turn their lives around.
People 'clearing' themselves to a degree that they were finally able to just fully be who they wanted to be.
We are told over and over again that if we could just 'see' the truth we would then be able to transform, heal and change - and we seem to have the anecdotal evidence to support this theory.
But the truth?
A revelation is never actually going to change our lives.
As hard as this is to accept sometimes, we have to realize that a revelation is only the 'seed' of a possible transformation. That a revelation in the abscence of a lifestyle that can HOLD that revelation and actually DO something with that revelation is really just nothing more than ideas.
Today I want to explore why it's the life BEFORE the revelation and the life AFTER the revelation that actually lead to transformation.
The revelation ISN'T the thing - it's who we are when we have it and what we are able to do with it once we've had it that actually makes the difference.
