I notice threads that have a theme around "Knowing your on the right path", something along these lines.

SO to start, what does a spiritual path end up looking like?

Think maybe that you have a map and starting point, and you want to get to another point on this map.


Two points connect them.

(POINT A) (POINT B)

Of course you draw a straight line to them, idealistically

(POINT A)------------------------------(POINT B)

But life isn't so much like this,
an ideal spiritual journey in this life would be perfect straight lines.


IDEAL Spiritual PATTERNS

Now if you are more about going with the flow of life, I'd say the pattern your spiritual journey takes is like this.





Take the four corners of the picture and call them the four seasons.

Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer.

X's being moment of enlightenment, or spiritual realization.

Now, if your certain of your spiritual goals, Your pattern would maybe look like something like this



Yellow dots are moments of spiritual enlightenment/ realization.

The height of the wave being how good or bad the times were at the moment.

Now I want point out that when you are certain of your spiritual goals in your life you will tend to experience enlightenment more often. That's would be in part because you have clear vision of where you would like to end up in your journey.

Now the problem I am facing with showing you all this is how do you plot points?


I have ideas, but I wanna see how this develops before I go any further.
