God Is NOT Boring

When I first stepped onto the spiritual path, I will admit I had some reservations. All this talk about God and prayer sounded a little too righteous for me. I was (and still am) a rebellious kind of girl. I like to have fun, I like to break rules, I like to use curse words and I DON’T like to conform. I used to voice my concern to my friends on The Other Side who were guiding me towards my path by complaining, “This all sounds sooo boring! I don’t know if I’m down with it.”

They would reply in earnest, “God is NOT boring! God is NOT boring.”

When they put it that way, I thought a little harder. Looking around at the world, I observed that there’s really nothing boring about it. After all, God gave us sex, drugs and rock-n-roll. Churches and temples too. Disney cruises. Mountains to climb. War. Gay Paris. Nope, nothing lackluster about this world.

I continue to observe humanity and I notice that no one else seems to want to be bored either. There’s a massive amount of drama going on that we all continue to get involved in, read about, view, and discuss with our friends. I wonder if we are all creating this drama – the spectacles, the crises, the conundrums – simply to make life more interesting. And is it possible to have a remarkable life without all the calamity?

Truth be told, before I got onto my newfound path, I had plenty of dilemmas. I was trying in earnest to solve all my problems which definitely gave me something to do, only I wasn’t getting anywhere with them. I had the same major problems in my life year after year after year. This was not the least bit exciting. It wasn’t until I got spiritual that I got solutions.

My Soul Mission took my life to a whole new level. When I first learned that I have a Capricorn Soul and that I am supposed to develop Capricorn qualities, I initially recoiled again. Capricorn can be described as mature, disciplined, practical, structured, serious and hard-working. To me, that sounded so dull! However, the more I understood what integrating those traits into my personality would mean, the more I saw that only in doing so would I be able to make all my dreams come true.

Now that sounded like fun!

Since I’ve been working on living my Soul Mission, I’ve had such a wild ride. Aside from finally solving all the aforementioned problems, I am also now doing things I love. And as much as I think I know where this path is taking me, what might be the best part of it all is that I actually haven’t the slightest idea. Life continues to surprise me on a very regular basis. My Soul keeps me guessing!

There are occasions when I doubt the process and I long to do something really un-Capricorn-like. I know I have free will and I can do whatever I want to do; plus perfection is the last thing my Soul expects from me. But I also know that the farther I veer from my Mission, the more unpleasant the consequences will be. Short-term pleasure can make for long-term pain.

My Soul is more than a Capricorn; my Soul is also God, and as I said, God is not boring. When I feel displeased with some of the Capricorn-like restrictions, the first thing I’ll do is talk to my Soul about it. I just did it a few days ago, actually. I asked my Soul for more excitement in my life, and sure enough, I got it.

You may or may not have a Capricorn Soul like I have (of course, I’d be happy to inform you!), but whatever you have I can promise you this: being in alignment with your Soul will be the most exhilarating and positive experience you can imagine. Your God, your Soul, will make certain of it.
