"Growing Up"


March, 2010

By Rev. Julie Johnson, Ph.D., Minister of Unity Carlsbad.

In his book, Further Along The Road Less Travelled, Scott Peck says, “Since we cannot go back to the mother’s womb, to infancy, we must grow up. We can only go forward through the desert of life, making our way painfully over parched and barren ground into increasingly deeper levels of consciousness.”
According to Peck, Growing-up means making our way painfully over parched and barren ground, and moving forward into increasingly deeper levels of consciousness. Most of us, if not all of us, have painfully moved forward over parched and barren ground in our lives. For some of us it has been:

1. A relationship that isn’t healed.
2. An addiction over:

    A. Food
    B. Drugs
    C. Tobacco
    D. Shopping
    E. Relationships that we can’t seem to control
3. A resentment that we can’t let go of.
4. A financial set-back
5. A physical condition that we are reluctant to face.

Regardless of the form, Most of us, at one time or another have faced some parched and barren ground in our lives. And the good news is, that most of us have been willing to move forward into increasingly deeper levels of consciousness. That of course, is because in each and every one of us, there is a divine presence that is always ready to help move us forward when we are ready to do so.
