Is higher education necessary when we’re on a spiritual path?.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
“I am 24 and I have been on my spiritual path for 2 years.
I am also a law student preparing for the state exam.
The problem is that I am daily yearning for further self-exploration and self-discovery and I am only occupied with myself.
I like what I study but the obligation to study feels like a burden because I only feel like studying myself meaning, journaling, and reading.
I know that after the exam I will start my lifestyle business which has nothing to do with law and I am only doing the state exam because I already have come this far, I like it, and to at least have a degree.
The thought that I have to study but really do it once in a while because I am so into reading personal development and inner work stuff makes me confused and I don’t know how to handle it.”
Response:
You may not have the luxury of reading and journaling about personal development as much as you’d like, but that doesn’t have to be distressing or confusing.
Even if you give yourself half an hour a day for that, it can be quite valuable.
As for your law school studies, it is important to realize that you are strengthening and sharpening your mind with these studies.
This mental development that comes with higher education can be useful in your spiritual and personal growth because in getting your degree, you learn critical thinking as well as how to start, persist, and complete a project.
These skills will be invaluable in your lifelong journey of personal discovery.
Love,
Deepak
