Are You Ready to Meet Yourself?

Life is beautiful, the world is amazing, and the universe is so vast that it can never be fully measured. Take a wild guess, and you’ll still fall short — many times over. How short? Well, you can’t guess that either, because it remains undiscovered and is ever-expanding. Machines have allowed us to travel great distances and bring news from faraway places. But as humans, we can’t venture too far on our own — it’s simply not possible yet.

Yet, there is something even more beautiful than the life we experience, more amazing than our world, and vaster than the universe itself — and it exists within each of us. A world we rarely explore or even believe to be real. But it does exist. Whether we believe in something or not has no effect on reality — it remains as it is. And that’s exactly why it’s worth exploring. Have you ever tried peeking in?

“Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.” — Rumi

We can gain insight from those who have explored this path before us — they become our guides to the unknown. The best way to understand a place you wish to go is by learning from those who have already walked the path. Their experiences inspire us, fill us with excitement, and give us the courage to begin our own journey.

When we have directions, an address, a map of how to get there, and a list of what we’ll need along the way, we start forming expectations. We wonder how long it will take, what the experience will be like. But the moment something unusual happens, doubt creeps in.

Are we on the right path? Why did we even come this way? What if we never reach our destination? What if this isn’t what we expected? What if it ruins everything? But we must understand — knowing about a path and walking it are two entirely different things. And this journey, the journey within, will be the strangest of all.

“To learn the truth, you must walk the path yourself. Explanations take you only to the door; walking through is up to you.” — Ibn Arabi

Guidance is valuable, but everyone’s journey is unique. The destination may be the same, but countless roads lead to it. Perhaps you’re walking a path few have traveled — or even one never explored before. The path from self to self is filled with unimaginable experiences. But do you know the most beautiful, heartwarming truth about this journey?

If you ever fall and have no strength left to move, the destination will come to meet you. It will lift you up, restore your spirit with just a touch of love. What if I told you that from the very beginning, as you walked toward your destination, it was running toward you? Sounds unbelievable, right?

“What you seek is seeking you.” — Rumi

This journey makes you mad — mad enough that you never want to return to your senses again. If you are a person of logic, always seeking a reason for everything, you will feel like Moses (AS) in the presence of Khidr (AS), the bringer of life. Pay attention, and do not ask too many unnecessary questions, or a veil will fall between you and the wonders meant to be revealed.

Leave intellect and logic behind. Why? Because they have limitations, and there is no place for the limited on a journey that is, by its very nature, limitless. Is it wise to carry something that will only bring you to a halt?

“Intellect takes you to the door, but it doesn’t take you inside.” — Shams Tabrizi

What should you bring, then? Pure wonder will do just fine.

When you open yourself to the unknown, the unknown begins to unveil its secrets to you. These mysteries — never heard by your ears, never seen by your eyes, never felt by your senses — first leave you bewildered. Then, they make you spin in circles, laugh in ecstasy, or drift into wanderings.

Why wander? Because the body is not yet ready to bear it. So, it moves with your inner world, shifting restlessly until it reaches a station high enough to see beyond — to glimpse the destination. Only then can the body remain still while you journey through new worlds.

I invite myself first, and then you, to walk this path — the path from self to self, the journey of the soul. My spiritual journey.

“Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment. Cleverness is mere opinion, bewilderment is intuition.” — Rumi

“Lose yourself completely, return to the root of the root of your own soul.” — Rumi

This is just the beginning. My Spiritual Journey is not a destination but a path — one that unfolds with each step we take. I invite you to walk with me, not to seek answers, but to embrace the mystery. Let’s explore the unseen, the unheard, and the unknown together.
