Have you experienced that, too? You start reading a book, and, for whatever reason, you put it aside and almost forget about it. Maybe it is because you are too busy with other things, bored, or cannot handle or understand the content. Perhaps this does not happen when you are reading a novella. But it often happens to me when reading books with spiritual content. Mostly, I don’t have the time to read a book from the first until the last page within a day or a week. But I see why the break was necessary when I retake it weeks, months, or even years later.

Especially regarding spiritual books, it makes sense to take the time to read them. The experiences we make are important to get the provided message on a deeper level. Of course, we always get a message and take it with our current awareness. Had I read it in one go, I would have missed the deeper statements. So, even when I read the same book twice, I find information that speaks even louder. The experiences I had in the meantime made me understand the matter better and also confirm it.

Isn’t this just a fantastic comparison to life? We make our experience, learn the lesson, and move on. Still, we seem to attract the same or similar challenge again, and maybe again and again. Ok, sometimes we resist, don’t want to get the lesson right away, and therefore, need to get pushed again. Yet, at times, we think we got it but still get confronted with the task repeatedly. It can be that we need to go through the same thing several times, although we want to look at it. Indeed, we may get something every time, but the actual root of the lesson may lie so deep that we have to dig toward it piece by piece. We would not get the whole meaning with the first attempt and therefore, we need several attempts. There is no reason to be discouraged because we must face something more than once. Every time it finds us, we get another chance to release a bit more to learn from what we carry inside. Just keep cooperating, and one day, all gets solved. You don’t know whether that last attempt is happening right now. So keep going!
