You’re Not Stuck. You’re Ripening.

There comes a time

when the path seems to vanish.

When all the insights you once clung to

begin to lose their shine.

When silence grows louder,

but still no peace comes.

You sit for hours.

You contemplate deeply.

You feel the Presence… but it feels distant.

As if you’re brushing up against the Divine,

but never entering.

And a whisper inside says:

“You’re stuck.”

But I want to tell you something that changed my life:

You’re not stuck.

You’re ripening.

The Illusion of Progress

The mind likes movement.

It needs signs, evidence, direction.

So when your spiritual journey no longer offers fireworks,

when the breakthroughs slow down,

when the joy fades into stillness…

the mind panics.

It tells you something’s wrong.

But this is not a fall.

It’s a deepening.

The fruit is not decaying.

It’s maturing.

And ripening is not glamorous.

It’s slow.

It’s quiet.

It’s often uncomfortable.

Because something in you is dying—

the one who thought they were in control.

The Fire Has Gone Inward

In the beginning, the path is full of passion.

You devour teachings.

You feel energy moving.

You have experiences that light you up.

But soon, the fire begins to burn more subtly.

It’s no longer about the highs.

It becomes about the emptying.

You start to lose interest in concepts.

The excitement wanes.

You don’t know what to do anymore.

And that’s exactly where the real work begins.

Because now, the fire has moved inside.

It’s purifying you from within.

You can’t feel it.

You can’t track it.

You can’t manage it.

But it’s working.

And the one screaming “I’m stuck!”

is the part being burned away.

When Seeking Fails, Surrender Begins

You may be trying to fix this stillness.

Trying to get out of what you think is stagnation.

But this moment is not asking for action.

It’s asking for surrender.

Not the kind you do.

The kind that happens.

You sit quietly

and allow the mind’s resistance to rise—

but you don’t follow it.

You allow the doubt, the confusion, the ache—

but you don’t believe the story.

You stop interfering with what Life is doing.

This is the true practice:

Getting out of the way.

Ripening Happens in the Unknown

The seed has no idea

when it will break open.

It doesn’t control the soil,

or the rain,

or the sun.

It simply waits—

not in boredom or fear—

but in trust.

Likewise, you are not here to manage your unfolding.

You are being carried

by something far more intelligent than your mind.

When you stop resisting your ‘stuckness’,

you begin to feel the subtle pull of Grace.

The Silence becomes more alive.

The emptiness becomes more full.

And slowly,

without fanfare or permission…

a shift begins.

Not because you pushed.

But because you finally stopped pushing.

Even Your Doubt Is Part of the Ripening

Don’t try to get rid of your doubt.

Don’t shame your frustration.

Don’t rush your sadness.

These, too, are the rain and the wind.

These, too, are breaking the shell.

There’s no wrong feeling.

No unspiritual emotion.

There is only life working through you.

Even your resistance

is part of the path.

The moment you stop judging where you are,

you begin to understand:

this, too, is holy.

Let It Happen, Beloved

Let yourself be broken.

Let the teachings go quiet.

Let your efforts die.

Let stillness take over.

This isn’t the end.

It’s the ripening before the fall—

the final collapse of the seeker.

And what remains

is not you.

But That which has always been

quietly waiting behind the scenes.

Still.

Silent.

Whole.

You’re Already Being Carried

There’s nothing to fix.

Nothing to rush.

No awakening to engineer.

There is only a gentle allowing—

of this breath,

this stillness,

this sacred pause.

If you dare to let it all be…

you’ll realize:

You’re not stuck.

You’re being returned to what you are.
