The Pilgrim

by Rev. Veronika Wilcox

  I had heard on the radio about a pilgrimage a woman did in Spain. I was so touched by this report that I decided to keep a diary of my own ‘pilgrimage’ which I called ‘from fear to Love’. One day a summing up of this inner pilgrimage came to me:

The Pilgrim has to have a steadfast step.

The Pilgrim is also not impulsive.

She knows that to quiet her mind and listen is step number one.

Even though the goal, the return or awakening to Oneness is clear, the pathway is not.

The Pilgrim stops frequently and says “I want the peace of God” and then sees where this leads her.

A Pilgrim could be tempted to become very busy planning the pilgrimage. This is a mistake for “I need do nothing.”

TRUST is the staff to lean upon. And trust is only needed for one step at a time.

It is also good to start at the beginning and not think that there are steps that the Pilgrim can ignore.

And where would the beginning be but with God!

What this all sums up to is that the leadership of the daily self is given over to the Higher Self. He is the Guide now.

The rushing times are over. Peace is not a future event the Pilgrim needs to go to. It is in the eternal NOW of the inner stillness.

Of course the daily self only knows of the horizontal line. A moving from past to future.

This is not so on this pilgrimage. The heights of the inner Light are given space and the depth of the deep inner silence are explored.

This is not achieved without meeting the ‘Double’, the dark and hidden part of ones self.

Yet, the Pilgrim is not alone. Many Helpers from the spirit world are at Her side. They shine the Light for her, should she fail to see her own.

There are also many others on this pathway Home. She might never meet them, but they are there in spirit and the support coming from this gives strength and courage.

Pilgrim on earth, your Home is within you. And it is the peace of God which cannot be understood because it can only be experienced. AMEN.
