About the Ministry

"We don't receive wisdom;

we must discover it for ourselves,

after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us."

~ Marcel Proust ~

Spirit Walk Ministry is an informational ministry, emphasizing spiritual awakening through your own personal existential experiences.

This website is free for all to use and is dedicated to a non-proselytizing approach to the awakening of philosophical, spiritual and religious ideas and providing the traveler with a mystical three ring circus of experiences to reawaken them to the wonders of their journey.

The essence of the path to enlightenment is not about the road beneath your feet, but the vista before your eyes. It is about what you see and what you experience. It is about how you come to accept what you see and experience as meaningful to you and how you assimilate these things into the view of reality that is yours alone.

There is no inherently “wrong path” for you to set out upon, if that path is the way you sincerely feel drawn to travel at that moment in your life. Any spiritual conception of life from the precepts of Animism to Zoroastrianism, and any signpost you find along that path, from Astrology to a Zen Garden has the potential to help guide you in the right direction on the unique journey that is your Spirit Walk.

If in time, after you have examined the path you have been traveling, you feel drawn to leave the path to take up another there is no need to feel either shame, or a sense of failure in doing so. You cast no aspersions on either yourself for having taken that path, or on any other traveler still upon that path, by leaving that path to go another way.

Spirit Walk Ministry is here to serve as a living reference library, housing a collection of spiritual ideas and mystic experiences that may, in some way, enlighten the spiritual traveler and aid them in meeting the challenges they will face on their journey.

The Ministry sees its role as being custodians of this athenaeum, gathering together information and making it freely available to any and all that come here.

This library is here to provide pilgrims with the books they may need...

but ,the books are for each pilgrim to read and interpret for themselves.

This website is not going to be appropriate for everyone, nor is it meant to be. If you are seeking some sort of spiritual "cheat sheet” or some "psychic reading" in order to find shortcuts around the challenges that you need to face on your path, you should look elsewhere. This is not a place where people come to have their fortunes told, but where they come to discover within themselves some personal insight into their own unique being, so as to better walk their own path. This is a place for self discovery and the doors are always open to anyone who has summoned the courage to undertake “the Journey”.

Your Spirit Walk is a right of passage and a pilgrimage from one state of being to another. It is the only sure path to reawakening the power that you came here with. While it may involve a journey from what you have come to think of as home, it is also a returning home, to the spiritual center that you wandered from in the course of living.

There are many paths leading to this library and many doors through which the pilgrim may enter. This is not a destination, only a way station along the route. Traveling the path that lead you here was only one part of your journey. When you leave here you will continue upon your adventure, hopefully with a new insight into your quest.

You will not find a messiah or guru here to tell you the way you should travel and no one here is going to try to sell you any maps or travel guides. And, if you have come here seeking the safety of being in a flock and having a shepherd to lead you, then you should look elsewhere. Flocks are for sheep and though a flock may seem a safe place to be, the ultimate fate of the lamb will be the same with the shepherd as it will be with the wolf. No one here has the desire to fleece you. Our mission is to help you to stop being sheep and to awaken to the power of the ram within each of you, so you can defend yourselves from the wolves you will encounter on your journey.

This Ministry exists for the purpose of encouraging you to heed your own inner call to take up the path you need to be upon and to help you summon the courage to take up that path, and to go forward on your journey, wherever that path may seem to be leading.

Caveat Lector: "let the reader beware"

We would like to assume that the people who come by to visit and make use of the Spirit Walk Ministry website understand that the path to spiritual enlightenment is a long and difficult journey. A journey that they must walk themselves, without relying on others to give them a free ride, nor to sell them maps with shortcuts.

The chances are that somewhere during the course of living your life someone has convinced you that your heart was lying to you about the path you should follow and the “true path” they sent you down has left you lost in a land of smoke and mirrors.

So, let the reader beware. Do not take as holy writ anything you read here on this website or anywhere else for that matter. At best what you may find here is a grimoire of folktales and stories or a collection of maps others have drawn, or a shelf of old books others have read. Perhaps it is only a mixed bag of trivia that may, (or may not), hold a few clues. That is for you to judge, from the lessons you have already learned and will continue to learn on your journey.

It is your journey and you are the only one who can find the path that is right for you and you can only do that if you are awake and aware of your own inner voice. The first step along your path is to begin to accept that you do not know what you think you know, for what you have been taught so far ...

… is probably all bullshit!
