The Protégé

The Protégé

In college I took a Hatha Yoga class and became spiritual -or so I thought- and began meditating. By the time I graduated from college I added some reincarnation beliefs to my Yoga Kundalini experience. This then led me to believe that I was being  taken care of -as a reward for some great thing I’d done in a past life.

My feelings of well being continued on for awhile after I became married. But four years later when children, bills, responsibilities and hanging out with bad companions took hold, my feelings of well being quickly evaporated. I became a person who was, “drifting on a sea of forgotten teardrops,” as Jimi Hendrix once sang and I became very weak spiritually. Eventually I also became "Depressed and downhearted and I turned to Cloud Nine," as the Temptations once said in a song. 

But what I didn't know was that all along; I was closer to the truth than I ever knew. No meditation while staring at a candle ever gave me the answers I was seeking.  And there never really were any rewards from a past life well lived. The truth became obvious once I became a Protégé of Jesus Christ. A Protégé according to the dictionary is an understudy or person being influenced greatly by another person. A person who is guided and supported by an older, more experienced or influential person. Synonyms: disciple, student, pupil, trainee, apprentice. I am very fortunate that Jesus desires to bless as many as will come to Him.  You too can magnify your spiritual journey, improve your conscious contact with God and discover the truth. Just seek Him with all of your heart, begin to follow Him and learn from Him.
