Obstacles On The Path...

When a mountain biker, or more appropriately for this time of the year; a cycle-cross racer encounters an obstacle on the path, we do not lose faith and begin to doubt. We have, through Practice, learned to recognize obstacles and difficulties such as long climbs, heat, cold, wind, etc., for what they are: just intensification of a Noble Effort, nothing more.



When an expert cyclist arrives at the point where difficulties and obstacles are recognized as such, they stop being 'obstacles' and actually become linked series of beautiful empowerment opportunities.


So, how do use this same type of non-dualistic grocking when obstacles crop up on the spiritual path to harness difficulties, whatever they may be, toward our quest for Higher Growth, Deeper Awakening?
