For me, the challenge is to finding and staying in the eye of the storm no matter what may come. Because when you are outside of this place (i like to call it a black hole), even spiritual "stuff" becomes just another stuff that distracts but by spiritual/shadow identity. It is like these embedded neuron paths or conditioned behaviors click in and it doesn't matter where it is coming from the soul or otherwise. I feel like it takes deep awareness and a lot of letting go before i can truly stay in the presence of my Higher Self. I will keep working on it ...
