Caroline Myss – Everything is a crossroad

We are always, in effect, living at crossroads. Every conversation, every choice is always presenting us with an answer that deals with the heart or an answer that serves nothing. If I engaged you in a conversation right now, the way you approached and responded could be a path of your heart or the lower path. Do you see what I’m saying? Everything is a crossroad.

Please enjoy this session from my live workshop “Arriving at the Crossroads in Life,” from 2015.

I have been teaching for a long time now, and I’ve come to believe that every single thing I teach must matter to you and make a difference in your life. What I know is this: arriving at a Crossroads in life is not a rare event but a universal experience. A Crossroad is a moment of choice—where the familiar meets the new, the known meets the unknown, and illusion meets truth.

Life positions us at countless Crossroads. The circumstances may vary, but what they hold in common is the chance to retrieve lost fragments of ourselves and step closer to becoming whole. How do we recognize when we are standing at a true Crossroad? Are some Crossroads more powerful than others? And what does it mean to reclaim a fragment of ourselves? These questions are central to the spiritual path.

Though it may appear that the significance of a Crossroad lies in outer events or visible transitions, that’s an illusion. The most profound Crossroads are often the ones we face within. In this workshop, we will explore the spiritual landscape of Crossroads, how to discern their deeper meaning, and how to meet them as thresholds of transformation rather than obstacles in disguise.
