By Souls Of Silver
Our spiritual journey is perhaps the most profound one we undertake in our lives. Our greatest gift in life is our souls. And we always protect them, not knowing it, yet we guard it. But we all are slaves at this point. We surrender ourselves to the 9-5 dynamic of corporate life. Then, we resume our cliched existence and survive in distractions.
The modern world forces us to resign into these traits of life. Hence, there is minimalist faith in our lives and generation. That also leads to avoiding the emptiness of our life but then filling it with more empty emotions. We often are then haunted endlessly by all the shallowest things in our relationships. Then there come the neurotic problems with the loneliness we fail to prevail against.
We all hold something mysterious and big inside our beings. But it becomes very easy for us when we feel more meaningless as we are part of society’s machine. We are slaves of the world. However, that is not naturally true. We are way more than just that. All of us have the talent to make mystical, meaningful life that is meaningful. There is a way we can find our right path and set our own destiny.

The History Of Spiritual Journey
For several years, our indigenous people from the entire globe have explored this path. They know that everyone has to get on with a spiritual journey. This land to be explored and understood is within oneself. In many different cultures, mostly the ancient ones, there were Shamans, the Elders of their tribes. They would oversee the journeys taken deep within the spiritual reality. In our new culture of daily life, we have lost touch with such sacred rituals.
What has happened is that all these spiritualities have been replaced with Gods. These Gods are, more or less, are theoretical. This dismisses all these personal experimentations with the Divine energy.
What Is A Spiritual Journey?
The best way to describe a spiritual journey is a “quest” from the within. It is taken to connect ourselves with our souls, that we have been ignoring for a while. This also helps us find the authentic purpose of our life but also embodies the true nature of ourselves. It is all about coming back to our Being’s Center. But what is this Center? It is often the path that is walked by Shamans, Mystic, or Sages.
But times have changed. We live in an era where we are all disconnected. We all go through the pain of the loss of our soul. Hence, this spiritual journey has now been accessible for all people. In fact, this seems to be our lasting and deepest longing. Perhaps our species’s highest calling.
