You are a born spiritual seeker. You have followed various doctrines. When you hear about a new one that resonates with you, you don't hesitate to read its bibliography, educate yourself, and delve deeper into it until you become an expert on the subject.
You have also attended countless workshops, retreats, and meetings where you have done all kinds of group exercises.
And you ask yourself: How is it possible that I am not progressing on my inner journey? I cannot find peace.
You are like that person who, before going to the gym, reads all kinds of manuals on the best exercises to do. They watch countless videos and know all the muscles in the body.
They know everything about what they have to do. The problem is that they are unable to lift a dumbbell... so their body remains the same, despite their knowledge, because they have not put the teachings into practice.
The same thing happens on your inner journey. You haven't advanced an inch, no matter how many books you've read, courses you've taken, or retreats you've attended. And this happens because you continue to see the world from the perspective of the ego, the usual one, the one that keeps you anchored in suffering. You haven't removed a single layer of the armor that surrounds your inner Light.

Don't worry, just get busy. Start training your mind. Begin right now. Identify every unloving thought that comes to you, which will be most of them, thoughts of judgment, fear, anger, etc., since you have them because you follow the ego, the wrong teacher.
Ask your Being for help and say, “I give you this suffering. I want to see it differently.” Be assured that it hears you and, when appropriate, will give you a new perception of that situation or relationship that will bring you peace.
This is called true forgiveness, which comes from a change in perception guided by Love. Where before you saw attack or injustice, now you see a person who is scared to death and crying out for Love in their own way, which is why they behave that way.
See how simple it is. A little more Light is already beginning to emerge from within you. You have just taken a step forward on your inner journey.
Here, in this world, we are all suffering. And that Light that emanates from within you embraces those around you like a warm sun that does not burn and gives them peace, the peace that you feel.
Train your mind and open yourself to Love. Get to it and do it without rest.
