Jesus began his ministry at age 30. I love the idea in this take, but while I’m young and my worldview is open, and I dream big, I want to be a disciple of Jesus.
Also, our battle isn’t with flesh and blood, it’s a spiritual battle. If you believe that, then everything you do, knowingly or unknowingly, you do as an active spiritual practice.
What are your thoughts?
Jesus was without a doubt possessed by the prophet, healer, and mystic archetypes. For him it’s natural to follow that path early on. For most people that’s not their ideal path. For some it is, maybe for you it is. I can’t say.
I agree that all of life can be a spiritual practice. In fact, engaging the archetypes that align with the seasons of life is a spiritual practice.
Child to warrior to king to wise man…. Is full embodiment of the human experience. You are dreaming and creating the human experience with God.
I am only saying that young men when they discover spirituality and think they need to pursue the life of a saint or mystic, when that may not be their souls path.
Most come for the human experience, not as saints or messengers
