GPS for Your Soul

Not long ago, I was teaching my daughter to drive. I take this responsibility very seriously. For those of you that don't know, my "spiritual awakening" came after becoming the only survivor of a major car accident. Eleven people died, including myself. I had three near death experiences, and spent two years in the hospital. I was told I would never walk again, never reproduce, never use my right arm, and forever go to the bathroom in a bag surgically installed on my body. With the help of the universe, I created a different future for myself.

So here I am, lesson one, of teaching my daughter to drive. We bought her relatively new Volkswagen. She has been in the car hundreds of times, but I still had to go over (over-protective) every single button and knob one uses to drive. Which I did, in great detail. After my lesson, I asked her:


"Yes," she replied. "One thing you didn't cover."

I was shocked. How could I be so careless and incompetent as to not cover something that cou
ld possibly cause an accident?

"What is this?" She asked. I was relieved, and answered in all seriousness the question was asked:

"Well daughter, that is a crank to put the window down. This car doesn't have electric windows."

Thankfully, missing that detail probably would not have caused an accident, but I imagined her not being able to give a police officer her paperwork, if she were ever pulled over. And even more likely, how would she be able to pick up some Taco Bell for me at a drive-thru?

Teaching and Learning Spiritual Process
Which soul do you con
nect with the most? A little soul running down a path of destiny with the passion and exuberance of life? Or an older, more experienced soul, watching over the little one? If you can connect to both at the same time, you have defined an efficient means of creating your own path of destiny.

My daughter can learn to drive from my teaching process, but is she really learning to drive? Understanding the process is a preparation to learn. She doesn't really learn to drive until she sits in the car, turns it on, and drives away. It is when she applies the teaching process that she learns to drive. She becomes part of the relationship of other drivers, and as we know, you can only evolve through your relationships.

The Spiritual Process
The concept of this newsletter is to summarize the majority of topics covered by one-on-one spiritual guidance sessions. The majority of communications had to do with feelings of insecurity and self doubt about the future. Feelings of insecurity generally grow to becoming feelings of low self esteem. Your investment of energy into your future sl
ows down, and you become a bystander to your own life. Here is how you get back on the right path:
  1. Spiritual Enlightenment. Forget where you are today, and where you were yesterday. Throw it out. Focus your energy on where you want to be. Create a long list without judgment. Dream of every possibility imaginable and have fun with it.

  2. Spiritual Awareness. Look at your list, and pick off the items that you can set a realistic short term goal for. Don't try to reinvent your in one day. You can go back to your list later one. For now, you just want to get moving with something simple so you can develop your process.

  3. Spiritual Growth. Spiritual Growth is about creating and implementing your plan to create the new future you want to have. You can't achieve any plan without investing energy into it. With the help of the spiritual process, you are focused on where you are, where you want to be, and what it will take to create your new path of destiny.
You Are Supposed to Outgrow Your Environment
Evolving your soul is not something you ever attain. It is an ongoing process. The universe, in its infinite wisdom, will not let you get complacent. The idea is to invest energy into creating and improving all the relationships that make up your environment.

The reason we get lazy, one might even say sloth, is because we lose confidence in the results we are currently getting. Then we point a finger of excuse in every direction, except towards our own soul. We forget it is our job to take advantage of this life and evolve our souls to higher levels. When we are tempted away from that thinking, our efforts in creating and implementing become less, and we become worthy of the results we get.

Your Keys to Your Future

This
is a very basic lesson in the spiritual process, but it is time to give you the keys, and take the universe out for a quick drive around the block. The more you practice the spiritual process, the better your skill will become. You will be surprised just how easy it is to get from point A to point B, when harness the power of the light.

And if you find your universe doesn't have power windows, send me an e-mail. I would be happy to help explain how you can get your spiritual windows down.

Love and light,
Jordan Canon
