Their egos see the finish line and think they have arrived in the promised land. This is YESOD-TALK ... the carrot has been dangled, but the work has not been done. It is merely the start of a very long road ... it is not the destination. Sadly, there are ever so many who should stop and think ... their ego's are not showing them their true path. Their destiny is to be Icarus ... and fly too close to the sun. It is a sad fact but they have failed the very first test put in their path. The first step ... and the higher forces will not attend on their soul growth. For there is no soul growth when the ego is in control.
The ego may say these souls are working for the right intention when in truth the ego is hiding the fact from them that ... it is driven by greed, jealousy, pride, the need for adoration or approval. All of us go through this process ... those who have gone before merely shake their heads at the new recruits who think they are now walking the paths lined with gold .... very soon they will find it is anything but what they think. The older faces have learned the hard way ... but have learned the ART OF PATIENCE.
The path is not an overnight success recipe ... it may seem to the newbies that it is. They will probably argue until they are blue in the face that they are ready. That they are not doing it too soon ... but from bitter experience the old faces will tell them that a couple of training courses or a endorsed course or two will not make you a household name ... nor will it be a shortcut to the top of the spiritual mountain. It is just the start of a long, long sojourn.
