How many times have you heard the term "spiritual path?" What does it even mean to take a spiritual path? How will I know if I am on one? If I took a spiritual path, ultimately, where would it lead? Hopefully, it would lead straight to God! Actually, where else could it go?

If humanity wishes to consider the efficacy of the Big Bang, or evolution, the issue still is, "Where did we come from and what are we made of?" Where did that single cell come from? What is it's genetic makeup? My personal take would be that whatever created all of "this," created us also. And, what did it create us from? The only thing that makes sense is that each person of the planet is infused with a "piece" of the Creator of humanity; a little tiny spark. Each of us was created from the Creator Itself! That is our gift from the grand Artist of Life

I personally, imagine it as a huge mountain that has been diffused into billions of little tiny pieces. Each piece represents a piece of the whole. Yet, from the state of the tiny little pebble, it is hard to recognize the huge mountain. And, it is impossible to know that you are just a piece of all the pebbles. It is impossible to know that each pebble, if reconnected, makes one huge mountain. The genetic makeup of the pebbles is the same, however, it cannot relate to the others as itself.

It feels as though this is the story of humanity. If we all came from God, the Creator, Nature, First Cause, or whatever you wish to call It, each of us is part of It. Yet, we have no memory of that from where we came. Sometimes it feels as though there is something familiar that is missing. At times, many times, I sense a longing for something that I once knew. Yet I cannot seem to discover it.

Most importantly, I am not able to sense the connection between me and every human being on this planet. If we all are infused with a little tiny spark of the Creator, then we must all be connected to each other. How could that be? There is no way that I can even begin to sense such a thing. My only hope is to continue on a spiritual pathway that leads me back to God. That is where I will get the answers and perhaps begin to understand the purpose of Creation.

Humanity is suffering greatly at this very moment in time. Finding one's spiritual pathway back to God is the one thing that will heal humanity. It is certainly worth a try. And so it is!
