Talks about the Steps of the Ladder, Part 45

Is it Possible that the Preparation Stage of Work Never Ends?

In spirituality, there is no situation where the work remains unfinished. We must complete the work of each degree, otherwise we cannot advance to the next. Success or failure is not the issue—completion is inevitable.

The challenges along the way are not inner flaws, but opportunities to sharpen our inner discernments. When we encounter an obstacle or failure, it is to highlight a specific quality that we need to understand and refine. There is no true failure. Instead, every stumbling block points to something that requires deeper scrutiny.

Also, it is important to note that no evil comes from above. The light that shines from above never brings any harm. It reveals the places within us that require correction. Until these corrections take place, sensations might be unpleasant.
