I was reading in genesis about the story involving joseph who had a coat of many colors and one of the things about that story that stuck out has to do with something called "the path".
Now "The Path" is the correctness of how you live your life. It's been said to me that if things are going well, then you must be on the path. However, with that come a knowledge of what the path is and where it leads.
It is however laden with a sense of being flawed. The idea that you know where your life is leading and that things are going well, means that the control of your life is beset in your hands. By controlling your life, you could be meant for a much larger role in the world, but you'll never get to that, because of the limits of ones own mind.
This is where god comes into the picture. A person who has totally submitted to the will of god/universal oneness/collective unconsious, will never see their path. This was the case with joseph. He never saw the path either. He was given dreams and they made sense. He was taken and put into a prison for a couple of years before becoming a governor and then ultimately the only provider for his family at the beginning of a time of great famine.
If you live the path, you must know that there are weird journeys that you have taken to get to the place you are now. There's a reason for it all, but until you arrive at the final destination can you only look backwards and see that a great and grand design, ornate in it's truths has taken you all the way to here.
I know I am on the path, because it just keeps getting weirder and weirder. I still don't know where I am going, but it's currently one wild turn after another.
There is no greater difficulty than realizing that it takes every fiber of your being to submit to god. It's a struggle that we wrestle with daily.
