How willful do you want to be?
How trusting can you learn to be?
These are the two basic eternal questions. Spiritual evolution brings us through crucible after crucible in all karmic predicament after karmic predicament to the correct answers: a) zero, nil, not at all and b) 100%, all, completely.
The journey is indescribably long and consists of a series of eternal moments of now. But awakened awareness can indeed hasten significantly the inevitable change. All are on the journey to the same destination and it is not a race.
Still, we all must be! So be awoke!
