Some periods of our growth are so confusing that we don’t
even recognize that growth is happening. We may feel hostile or angry or weepy
and hysterical, or we may feel depressed.
It would never occur to us, unless we
stumbled on a book or a person who explained to us, that we were in fact in the
process of change, of actually becoming larger, spiritually, than we were
before.
Whenever we grow, we tend to feel it, as a young seed must feel the
weight and inertia of the earth as it seeks to break out of its shell on its
way to becoming a plant.
Often the feeling is anything but pleasant.
But what
is most unpleasant does the not know what is happening.
Those long periods when
something inside ourselves seems to be waiting,
holding its breath,
unsure
about what the next step should be,
eventually become the periods we wait for,
for it is in those periods that we realize that we are being prepared for the
next phase of our life and that, in all probability,
a new level of the
personality is about to be revealed.
