What motivates your continual progression of spiritual development?

For me it was the epiphany of knowing and being shown that I was never alone even though I felt like the loneliest person in the planet.
When I screamed out for help I received it in the most unlikely way which left me with the comfort , warmth , and realisation that none of us are ever alone despite our darkest hours.

What is it for you? In your own words. Please be as self-honest as possible.

Initially driver was fear and pain of suffering . But later on curiosity , awe ,excitement and thrill to understand mysteries of creation , finally a realization to behave/become disciplined as the creation is and to make world a better place to live in and around me through His Love - are driving forces for me .

In my case, I reached a point of exhaustion, recognising that material possessions could not alter destiny, much less offer lasting joy and peace. So that was the trigger to shift in thought, word and deed, attempting to align with whispers of conscience.

Thereafter, all was grace, in that my mind-body system was energised by magnetism, continuously progressing. So, there was nothing I was doing really, except become more receptive to the current.

All subsequent stages till today are benedictions. At best, I can say that remaining ‘empty’ positions identity (ego) to be in sync with the energy influx or wisdom downloads, instant knowing etc.. At no stage was there any seeking although to be truthful, lower mind always has questions, we being in the human experience.

So, to address the OP, there is no motivation, in that there is no one here, metaphorically speaking. All that is, is a becoming, a transmutation, for which an orientation of porosity and receptivity is helpful.

There are many paths. In my case, I’d say, I do nothing ~ no practice, no chanting, no meditation or we may say, I do all of it by involuntary resonation, aided by bliss magnetism that pulsates within, in permanence, through day and night, 24x7.

Thanks NativeS. Same here. It was just “NEEDING” to know more. Never thought of that until you mentioned it.

The sheer intrigue and higher truth of it, and the notion that it's strengthening my soul in its journey of ascension. I can't not be motivated, it's too exciting.

The analogy has often been given, that we are drawn to the light “like a moth to a flame,” or the adage, I do not do meditation rather I just let go, dive in, and the presence of primordial essence overtakes me.

I feel like I was shot out of a cannon, traveling down a very dark barrel like tunnel and eventually seeing light up ahead, and opening that when reached sent me soaring across the sky into the brilliant light of day.

I am the fish; God does the fishing; the hook of inspiration is within me and I am being reeled in. I definitely feel like I had very little to do with all of this, and now it is just my time to consciously return home.
