For most of a living person's life, they seem to always be asking two or three basic questions:
1.) What is the meaning of all of this?
2.) How do I do better?/ How do I find perfection in my life?
3.) Why don't I deserve the same treatment as my neighbor, friend, sister, brother or aunt?/ Why is their life so much better than mine?
Some living human souls focus on all of the questions all of the time. Some get hung up on one of the three. And others go through each step by step, until they reach the last one and find their way back at the first.
Now, please stop me if you have heard this one, but if you are saying right now in your head:
"Well, I am so enlightened that I have moved passed all of these questions. They no longer hang me up. They no longer bring me down. I am able to float above. I don't have a doubt or care in the world."
If you are saying this right now, at this very second, sadly you are either a very convincing liar (you can even convince yourself of untruths), you are highly susceptible to gullibility, or you are a very self gratifying human being, who is also afraid of failure, so you deny the possibility of its existence.
No matter what description fits your character or situation, the point is, if you are human being on this planet, experiencing waking life, experiencing connection and separation side-by-side, experiencing day and night, and all of the opposites that make wholeness possible, then you are consumed at least occasionally by doubt, and wonder, and painful moments of spiritual stress.
Don't deny it because I am here today to tell you that it is simply wonderful to ask these questions. It is wonderful to feel a little lost and confused and off the beaten path. It is wonderful to question and feel cheated. Because it means that you are alive, that you are awake, that you are experiencing things and that you are paying attention. Rejoice in the uncertainty. Rejoice in the moments of jealousy and rejoice in the moments of pain!
Yep, that is my silly little stance of the the day. Rejoice in the self-doubt! It is not a sin to doubt. It is not a sin to question. It is not a sin to wonder and feel "less-than".
The only true sin is fear because that is the only thing that separates you from me, from God, from Love, from Light, from the Universe. Now, we can talk about the mechanics of that separation another time, but for now believe me that frequency of fear does separate.
"But God", you may say. "Isn't doubt a frequency of fear? When I doubt something or question it, doesn't it mean that I don't believe in you? Doesn't it mean that I am fearful that you won't provide for me?"

Doubt should always pull you back into your heart and force you to ask, "Who am I?" "What separates me from the flesh of the person next to me?" "Why is my life set up differently?" "What is my soul seeking?" "Why do I feel so out of balance?" "What does the world hold in store for me?" "What am I searching for?"
Yep. Doubt always pulls you into your heart. Well, unless you fear it. Then it definitely pulls your roots up from the ground, and tucks your head into your shoulders. Then, there is no way for your Divine Guidance to get through. Your receiver is down and floating through the air.
Do not fear your doubt. Do not label it as sinister and unworthy. Allow it to bring you inward, to ask the questions that need to be asked, so that you can fine tune the system and truly here my words, feel my love, and see my beautiful signs.
Doubt is not a sin. Doubt is a gift. Doubt is a tool for happiness.
