awakening Archives - The Spiritual Quest

Spirit of the Collective

There is a powerful spirit that connects and holds together our tribal groupings. These connecting energies are powerful enough to override our own individual spiritual attainments.

Many people in the spirit of the mob will act out of character with their individual personalities. Act in ways they would not act alone in a similar situation. For example kicking a helpless person on the ground perceived as “the enemy”, this violates most civilized tribal society rules. We need to see this tendency in our own community group in our political and/or religious ideologies.

When we discover people in our own group lashing out with hate and violence we are likely to shrink back in cowardly fear. Believing if we push against our own ideology they will turn on us in a similar way. Unless you were defending a fellow friend or family member the courage needed to speak-out against such hatred is hard to muster.

As we look at the tribal battles surfacing across the planet there are no good-sides, there are only competing sides. We do well to ask if our side is acting with violence and hatred. Can we truly embrace such evil tactics and remain spiritually centered? Do we really want this to manifest in our own physical experience?

Who is promoting or glorifying such violence? What ideological tribal vision would ever want to condone such violence? Who would want their family and friends to be so threatened? Such barbaric behavior is instigated among ideological devotees who flame the negative sensations of fear and anger. They blame all their suffering on “the others”, and then attack out of this dark state of fear.

It is incumbent upon us as spiritual individuals to protect ourselves from this hostility. We need to lovingly challenge our own tribal community to turn off the ideological banter and propaganda. We need to adopt and create a new bigger tribe of human connection built on love and respect.

It has to start with our own willingness to display spiritual openness toward those of other tribes. Be courageous enough to call out the bad actors within our own sphere of influence.

Leading the Way in Spiritual Openness

Those on the spiritual quest who have managed to gain control of their own inner spiritual sensations must become the leaders of our new world. As we dare to call out those in our own tribal alliances many of the peace loving majority will stand up and have our back. As we see others taking such bold actions to lead the way toward loving openness and connection we need to step up and support them as well.

The earth is now going through a major shake-up as we transition from our animalistic instinctive desires for self-survival to the next level of loving human connection. Those who lash out at others, who are still unconsciously driven by their tribalistic insecurities, will continue to suffer more and more as their tribal world and animalistic behaviors dissolve.

All of humanity is spiritually changing. The vast majority of human beings have already experienced their own tribal battles or watched the abuse of other human beings. They fear being exposed to such pain and suffering. They worry about their own personal futures. Through this chaos we are triggering a new spiritual awakening. We can no longer resist the powerful desire for positive change.

All of humanity will transition to this new love space as we finally reach spiritual openness on a global scale. Sadly, until this is fully implemented, those who remain on the dark-side will continue to suffer. Those fighting and promoting hatred will become louder and louder until they cease to exist or convert to accepting this new spiritually united world.

Tap into your own spiritual acuity. Soberly consider your own inner spiritual conditioning on being open to others. Look inside to find where you are blocked, where you harbor hatred. Where you label others and feel negative sensations about them. Our spiritual openness to these discoveries will help unite and heal our ailing planet.

A Spiritual Cry From CORONA

The biological effects of this corona-virus are changing the consciousness of the entire world. Everyone is now uniting around the question of where do we go from here?

CORONA VIRUS WHAT’S HAPPENING?

The world has become more and more polarized, creating deep cutting separation and disconnects. These disconnections now extend into immediate family members living in the same household. We occupy the same physical space but our social networks and ideological associations are truncated in the digital world of virtual reality. We are connected by algorithms and are bombarded with input to support our own biases. This reaffirms our personal views. We believe the entire world agrees with us, because that’s all we ever see.

The artificial intelligence (AI) of computer-generated connections are polluting our biological human connections that have served to manage human civilizations since the birth of time. The children born and raised in this AI world are part of digital communities that have put family members, living in the same household, in completely different worlds.

Children are developing and expanding at a pace that is breaking the familial ties of physical communities. The speed of change is so great that those raised on old connections of biological and human interactions are worried about the effects on their own children and grandchildren.

Throughout human history such revolutionary changes always led to a unifying energy among the collective to unite and pursue their own cause. These groups were primarily connected and organized by sensing and exploiting the negative associations within their own space of connection. Now everyone is feeling alienated to one degree or another; and this pace of change will only continue to hasten.

Human history is just story after story of world conquerors; who always rise to power on a vision of hope and change. The power they accumulate from the group collective eventually corrupts, as the saying goes, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

The masculine, action driven, youthful demand for growth and expansion was always balanced by the feminine love energy that united the collective. Today the collective is no longer an us versus them; it’s us versus us. We need to bring the total power of the love connection to bear on all fronts in this ideological battle we are having with ourselves.

The biological effects of this corona-virus are changing the consciousness of the entire world. Everyone is now uniting around the question of where do we go from here?

The answers will come when we achieve a conscious collective mindset. Uniting for the good of the whole; which includes everyone and everything that exists in our world. We will win this or we will lose this together. It’s happening right now in front of our eyes; nature is demanding a world-wide collective desire for change.

Change is inevitable, but what kind of change will it be? Our role is to work at disseminating and spreading a “love virus” as an infection to unite everyone. Every ideological corner of humanity needs to embrace love. A “love virus” of connections; making it the unifying principle to connect and re-connect all of humankind.

In every community and sub-group within communities there is a completeness of human connectivity. That completeness has formed the building blocks of uniting people throughout history.

That community connection includes all types of persons and personalities to function holistically as a united whole. Some are strong warriors protecting the group, others teachers to educate the group. There are leaders to lead the group, builders who build the group, caregivers who care for the group, entertainers who entertain the group, healers that heal the group, challengers who challenge the group, and every other cause and effect connection that make up human civilizations world-wide are connected and driven by love.

We are a bunch of communities built on love connections among ourselves and our individual group identities. The new level of love connections require that we rise above our own group identifications and ideologies to reach a higher degree of connection that connects the disconnected among these groups.

This is the calling of the spiritual worlds. It has been calling humanity to this higher level of enlightened consciousness, the connection of humanity as one living functioning organism working for the good of the whole.

Humanities Transformation into Spiritual Adulthood

Here is a hypothesis on human transformation into adulthood, presented as a supposition or proposed explanation to explain the chaos engulfing America and western civilization. This is presented as a starting point for a discussion to further explore and investigate ourselves from a spiritual point of view.

By spiritual we mean beyond the limited structure of science, math and deductive reasoning the foundations of Western Civilization; to also include the esoteric, emotional, supernatural and other phenomenon that penetrate the human psyche.

Individual Chaos The Path to Sanity

As individuals we grow by pursuing our own desires as we seek to satisfy ourselves entirely. We learned to balance our individual animalistic tendencies to encompass our tribal ideals and cultural expectations to maximize our self-serving interests.

Humanity as a collective has been growing and developing along this same egotistical self-serving path since the beginning of time. People have been dividing by family and then geography into local communities. Next we developed allegiances to regional group identities. This development process was also driven by our individual desires for sanity and survival.

We individually love and hate as we battle for supremacy in our relationships, while we create and contribute to community structures all to support our own self-serving objectives. We all individually grow through this internal conflict of chaos to resolution. We ultimately define ourselves by our tribe, our ideals, our expectations and our responsibilities to people who are “like me” all driven by the animalistic instincts of self-interest.

We progressed as a species and further sub-divided into ideological and social constructs that established additional unique tribal alliances. These sub-groupings led to further chaos and division. Tremendous human suffering ensued as each tribe and society battled for relevance and superiority over “the others” … driven by the animalistic desires for survival by dominance over natural resources for sustainability of one’s self-interests.

Further Chaos The Path to Enlightenment

Each tribe and community group established social compacts based on love and mutual consideration. That is the spiritual feminine energy of nurturing and caring for one-another within the group, this too was driven by self-interest of mutual survival. We encourage each individual within our groups to pursue their dreams and ideals to better self-serve the interest of the group.

Since the world is now fully explored and basic survival is no longer the driving force of our character, we are expanding into the enlightenment phase of human development. We are moving beyond the individual enlightenment of self-interest to a holistic ideal of altruistic selflessness.

Our children realize that our future cannot sustain the animalistic processes of self-interest and dominance of one group over another for survival. As all previous generations before them they feel it deep down inside that the system requires change. They have yet to individually mature to the point of actual acceptance of “the others” as they perceive them.

The chaos will continue as long as we clutch to our tribal identities. We do this by negative stereotype labeling of “the others”. Labels of socialist or capitalist’s, bigots and racists, Nazi-Fascist, religious fanatic, homophobic, greedy, lazy, selfish, ignorant, stupid, careless and any other negative identity that they can assign to “the others” … this is a last ditch attempt to hold on their individual selfish egotistical identities.

The Path to Further Enlightenment

We are now uniting as a global tribe and we need to unite the ideologies from all sides of self-interest. Into a positive agenda that moves beyond basic survival of the individual and our tribal identities towards our ultimate spiritual character traits of thriving as a unified whole.

This is reflected in the desire of millions of people who see the imbalance of power and resources and thereby seek to rectify this injustice by demanding fundamental changes within the hierarchy of civilization. Balancing this dichotomy within the psyche of the individual is spiritual attainment, but is reaching this balance within our physical reality ever attainable?

Will we ever stop ascending as a species toward dominating our physical reality? Are we capable of uniting around the spiritual ideals we strive for individually? Ask yourself are you willing to fully accept and acknowledge “the others” however they are labeled?

Test yourself by asking how open-minded and accepting you are of others. Are we entrenched in non-acceptance of others or are we evolving toward greater spiritual attainment?

For now it’s a path for you as an individual, are you on the path?

The Spiritual Intellectual Dark Web

Perhaps the mirror term of the “Intellectual Light Web” may be more appropriate for those of us in the spiritual community.

The “Intellectual Dark Web” is the label assigned to the online community of great thinkers who dare to challenge conventional thought and traditions. Perhaps the mirror term of the “Intellectual Light Web” may be more appropriate for those of us in the spiritual community. Would Brett or Eric Weinstein agree?

As we now embark on the new territory of openness with the digital world, chaos is becoming ever more visible. Perhaps we are revisiting the ever repeating patterns that move us in the direction of greater enlightenment? With open-minds and open hearts we engage one another to discover areas of agreement within the complex world of human discovery.

These deep thinkers and powerful people like those in the past are attacked and criticized by their peers. Nicolaus Copernicus, Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. are but a few who dared to challenge the majority opinion to push for change.

Two of these men, Sam Harris and Dr. Jordan B Peterson are worthy of your attention because they dare to buck the tide and challenge rigid group-think with honest open dialog.

Also there are contrarian thinkers like Thomas Sowell and Dr. Michael Laitman, men who dare to challenge conventional thinkers in their own sphere of influence. I encourage you to watch their way of communicating with others. How they transfer complex ideas that have deep emotional attachments without being sucked down the rabbit-hole into personal attacks of identity politics.

These deep thinkers can agree and disagree on profound understandings without losing their spiritual balance. I encourage you to connect with these powerful figures in our enlightened society and watch their discussions. See their disagreements on complex issues. You may agree and disagree with them simultaneously on the same points of exploration.What can we learn from these great thinkers in the “Intellectual Dark Web“?

Learn to Discover Your Inner Balance
What can you offer to help heal the divides that have become so ridged over the last few years in our communities? The answer lies inside of each one of us, in our spiritual space where our mind, soul and intellect combine. Where we dare challenge our own thinking and conclusions. How can you find areas of agreement with those to whom you disagree?

Which Side Are You On?
More and more people seem to line up with blind allegiance to their point of view. They echo the chorus of cries against their opponents on the other side. Many of these people are becoming more and more critical of what they perceive as “The Others” … while simultaneously less critical of their own ideological companions. Both sides use labeling and identity politics to sharpen the divides.

The Fake-News Pundits and The Media
Sadly the original watchdog over abuse of power was the media; but they seem to have joined in the fight. They are now sources of propaganda using “Fake-News” stories; driven by bloviating pundits on both sides. A balanced delivery of news is no longer available, everything is slanted by ideology and few people are willing to explore an opposing point of view with an open-mind.

Social Media Outlets
The social media platforms, that should be open sources of information, are edited in support of personal biases or they suppress and hide what’s perceived as opposing ideas. People are deleting friends and family whose opposite opinions they refuse to acknowledge or even contemplate via a constructive dialog. Colleges, the place for open exchange and debate over ideas, have been hijacked by strong ideologues wishing to silence opposing views.

The Spiritual Communities and Peacemakers
The moderate minded individuals that make up the majority of our communities, remain silent out of fear of being labeled as uncivil or worse attacked as a racist, a bigot, or worse a Nazi if they dare cross an ideological line defined by the mob. Please don’t let your voice be silenced, add your comments about your thinking to this discussion topic.

How Do We Balance This Tumultuous Situation in Our Own Spiritual Space?
First recognize that there is incivility in all of us; acknowledging that within ourselves first is paramount. Next remember there is the capacity for love in everyone, look to find that in the people who disagree with you.

What Can We Do in This Strained Environment?
To be healers and promoters of love and civility we need to be big. If you only love your friends and your ideological companions are you really spiritually mature? We need to show civility to the enemies and the haters on both sides of the divide. Show your individual courage by challenging those in your own ideological sphere of influence when abusive attacks arise. Also learn to apologize and to accept them readily.

When among strangers be patient, long-suffering and kind. Find the person behind their ideological curtain and connect as a fellow human. Ask lots of questions to allow the hostility to flow, allow them the room and encouragement to communicate their passion. Let people tell their story. Listen with ears of compassion, don’t challenge or redirect their views, rather draw them out acknowledge their stories and ideas.

Listen to Voices of Descent … Let All Be Heard
Every person is entitled to be heard and sadly very few people are being heard right now. Use kind words of unity and focus others with questions to draw out thoughtful exchanges. Learn to hear everyone else’s voice and the peace of wisdom will fill your heart and your head to communicate effectively with everyone.

Until we can fully hear and acknowledge the cries of others they will not be able to hear us talking from the other-side. Please share your critiques and comments on this ever increasing problematic issue among ourselves.

Spiritual Respect For Yourself & Others

There are many people out there willing and able to offer advice and help on almost any subject matter. You however you are the only person who has sole custody of your life. Your entire life from cradle to adulthood is managed by others, parents, teachers, peer pressure, government, etc. However we reach a jump-off point in adulthood when your lives belong more and more to you. Every singe day, regardless of what anyone offers for advice, assistance or help, you’re the one in charge. You’re the only one who ultimately can take care of you.

So remember you are living exactly the life you have chosen for yourself … don’t ever forget that … Oh and remember that my life belongs to me.

There are many people out there willing and able to offer me advice and help. But I’m the only person alive on this planet who has sole custody of my life.

So I’ll always remember I’m living exactly the life I have chosen for myself… Oh and please help me remember that your life belongs to you.

Spiritual Reality Revealed is Wisdom

The process of life begins from a pure space of unlimited possibilities, the positive (God/Spiritual) force. From that space of unlimited possibilities intentions and actions are manifested and connect to our physical ecosystem, the negative (grounding) force.

As individuals within the system, every action which affected us begins to create the mosaic of our lives. This process molds us and manipulates us as part of the whole; that is everything that we interact with throughout our lives manifests in what we become.

As babies we’re born into a world that totally protects us and works on our behalf to incorporate us into its ecosystem. Every decision and action is made for us to begin the design of our life. We are molded by our parent(s) our immediate family, the extended family, friends and strangers within our community. The food we eat, surrounding nature, animals, accidents, weather, all influence us uniquely.

Our language, culture, religious and political views are all molded into us by our environment. Do we really have free will in this process? No, but as we mature and grow within our ecosystem we imagine that we have free choice, but do we? Advanced societies insist that we learn manners and civil behaviors; we learn to read and write and to provide for ourselves to sustain our existence as part of the whole.

Alas, as adults we graduate from the molding and manipulation from our environment; we can support ourselves and maintain our own existence as part of the whole. Do we now have free will? We have some limited freedoms within the grounded structures of our existence. We cannot jump off a 10 ft building and fly (yet). Everything that makes us who we are is attached to actions that have manifested as the mosaic of our lives.

Your income, your food preferences, your religious ideologies, political views, favorite sport teams and everything that makes you who you are comes from actions within your environment. The only real control we can exercise in our own development is the environment in which we put ourselves. The space of “Unlimited Possibilities” is attached to a series of actions that lead to where we find ourselves within our own ecosystem, this is called our reality.

The further we explore our reality the greater perception we receive because we can see the connections in all the branches that manifest within our reality. We can see how everything moves, connects and influences the other. We see where things are broken, we can see ways to reconnect disconnects and we see opposing forces from both sides. This gives us tremendous insights and leads to clairvoyance of understanding, this is called wisdom.

When we discover that we remain stuck or attached to something, know that that is limiting our perception. It’s like watching a sporting event with a connection to a specific team; we are much more likely to be polluted in our observations in favor of our team. If you’re watching without an attachment to a preferred outcome your observations are much purer.

In areas of religion, atheism, politics, nationalism, racism, etc. Find where you’re stuck and find a way to break free. This will lead you further down the path of spiritual enlightenment and allow you the wisdom to better help others.

Here’s a challenge you can take on yourself or share with others to help them in exploring greater reason and comprehension. Assignment to expand your spiritual comprehension.

Assignment to Expand Your Spiritual Comprehension, Are You Up to The Task?

Here is a very deep and challenging assignment to push your own spiritual comprehension. You can do this alone or do it with your own circle of spiritual companions. I invite you to take on this challenge and share your results.

Step One: Select The Spiritual Topic or Topics to Explore
This is a writing assignment. Write on a topic you’re absolutely certain about. The best topic you can choose for expansion is one that you feel very strongly about. Religion and politics are strange bedfellows at identifying blockages in our own spiritual comprehension.

Write out the question and then give the answer? Write the answer with the greatest most obvious details you can provide to validate your position.

Step Two: Be Mindful of All Your Inner Feelings as You Engage.
After you write out the question and provide your exact answer it’s time to push yourself. Your next step is to rewrite the question and change the answer to read the exact opposite of what you wrote in step one.

Wow! … Perhaps you’re not even able to do this? That is an immediate insight into your own internal spiritual make-up. Can you make yourself do this exercise? It takes great open-minded comprehension and courage to explore where you are uncomfortable. If you are not able to do this have someone else write it out for you.

Step Three: Push to Greater Awareness Building a Stronger Character
Now read the opposite point of view out-loud slowly with conviction. Focus on your feelings and inner sensations as you force yourself to read out-loud words that challenge your own beliefs on the subject. What is it you are learning about yourself as you explore your internal sensations while doing this?

Step Four: Prove Your Spiritual Mastery Gaining Even Greater Awareness
Now I ask you to answer this next question with all honesty and clear thinking. Is this opposite point of view valid to anyone else? How would someone who holds that opposite view defend their position?

Here is your final step to validate your mastery if you are capable of completing it. Can you or will you do this? Write an article that defends the opposite point of view, can you do that effectively? Why is such a position, opposite to your own personal views, valid to someone else? Can you explore inside yourself and find your answers to this? Can you force yourself to explore the opposite feelings and conclusions; ones that contradict your own comprehension? This is the biggest and hardest step that needs to be taken to prove your own spiritual mastery.

Are you spiritually big enough to do this? Are you able to challenge your biggest limitation to growth? Take on your own ego attachment to connections you hold so dear? Can you free yourself from your own limitations and push through to greater enlightened understanding?

I guarantee that if you can take it on sincerely you will experience the biggest most profound expansion in your own spiritual consciousness. If you dare to take this challenging step you are sure to grow immensely in your comprehension. When you can complete this assignment easily without internal spiritual disruptions, you have obtained mastery; you are now a master ready and fully able to help others. A master can really help others who seek insights no matter where they are in their spiritual quest. Are you a spiritual master yet?

Discovering Spirituality – The Spiritual Quest

As the discourse on discovering spirituality progressed I was spell bound at the edge of my seat as I sat and listened with keen interest. “A box with five openings, that’s me”, so the opening to the public presentation began.

Yes, my five senses are the tools I use to master the physical word. What world did Helen Keller live in? Could I ever experience her world? It scared me to contemplate such a condition. Yet the more I thought about it the more it began to touch something within me that was bigger and more expansive than knowledge or experience.

I began to comprehend an entirely new way of understanding my own life and all that fills it. Like when a small child first comprehends how counting from 1 to 10 connects to counting from 10 to 20; the light goes off and you just get it!

I was totally engaged as I listened to this fresh topic of conversation. The information pushed me and pulled me in different directions. I was thrown about in a raging river of conflicting thoughts and feelings. I was confused and yet simultaneously fulfilled with an inner satisfaction that I admit I find hard to explain.

Trust me it’s an incredible experience yet really hard to explain with words alone. I promise to do my best to explain it, and I assure you if you get to this place these words will ring true for you too. Again, I will try to explain using the very limiting communication tool of written words.

Imagine trying to explain, through an interpreter, what a small bird is to Helen Keller, she was deaf and blind. You could talk for hours explaining in great detail about all the bird’s unique characteristics. The birds color, the texture of their wings, their beak, how they fly and sour through the sky, how they maneuver through tight tree limbs, how they sing with beautiful harmonic resonance that is pleasing to the ear.

You could spend hundreds of hours with endless explanations and yet never truly convey your attainment of seeing and hearing that small bird. As I listened to these new spiritual concepts being presented I thought, what would I understand if I lost my hearing and my sight?

I tried to imagine what Helen Keller’s perception of life was like? Helen Keller had never even experienced sight or hearing at all, what did she base her perceptions on I wondered? I began to explore all these new sensations swirling within me. My insides were being torn apart as I tried to comprehend this unexplored space within myself. I felt disconnected from my own being and yet even more deeply connected at the same time.

I thought deeper and deeper about it; who am I? I am aware that I exist but how? I see, I hear, I taste, I feel and I smell. This was the surface topic of discussion but it took me deep within myself. I listened intently while simultaneously exploring the tumultuous sensations in my core Being.

As I listened further to the discourse I was so enthralled from within. Like I completely understood the subject matter yet at the same time the words and concepts were all foreign to me. It was like I was eating foods I was familiar with yet the preparation styles and seasonings were not familiar to me at all. They were completely foreign to my pallet and yet my desire was such that I craved to eat more and more. I was almost hypnotized like I had a piece of warm chocolate fudge melting in my mouth. I was lost in the incredible satisfaction of this experience.

Words are so hard to share on this topic, and no I was not on drugs or drinking alcohol. The truth is I was learning and everything was fresh and new, yet somehow I knew the topic of conversation. The discussions were ultimately helping me to discover myself at a deeper level, looking from the outside in at myself as a person.

I began to explore within myself how all these interactions via my senses explained my world. I have interactions with nature and with other people and they are totally unique to me. What could I learn by further exploring these deeper inner sensations to comprehend and understand who I am in relationship to the world around me?

I realized that I really had no control at all over anyone or anything around me. It was like I was a sci-fy probe put here to measure and experience life, not to control it. I began to sense the need to discern how it is I am connected with the world around me. This began my journey into spirituality. I began to discover a new higher level of awareness in experiencing life and in grasping reality.

If my words have touched you at all; if you yearn for something more but can’t quite put your finger on it, I invite you in to explore with me and other like-minded people. Discover a deeper perception of life and reality. Discern a bigger community and a bigger connection to humanity and the world of nature to which we are connected. Discover with us a deeper more satisfying life, experiencing life in a fuller more complete way.

You are always welcome here to share in the Spiritual Quest.

I Love Me! … So I Can Love You Too!

I promise to love me so I can love others. My love for me is what’s required so I can give it and share it from my own abundant supply.

I promise to love me so I can love others. My love for me is what’s required so I can give it and share it from my own abundant supply. I need not beg from a self made prison that others show me love. My inner love for myself must come first to become complete.

There is a place inside of me that decides which world I choose to see, like a smiling face as a trusted friend or as camouflage hiding someones lies. The smell of flowers as a bright spring day or the smell of death in a funeral parlor. Is the glass half empty or half way full that’s for me to say. I get to define my life and I live it in that exact way.

Trouble or triumph I will decide, it’s my world that I define. Like how to view the sun, is it fun like being at the beach or as scorched earth in dessert heat? All your thoughts you can control unless you let others decide and define your life for you. I will not play that game letting them determine me, I won’t stand aside and let society define what my life is to me.

I am open to listen and learn, absorb all sides of what should and should not be. In the end I will stand, not against but upon that which is right for me. I won’t force my views on those who are weak. I will help them explore and help them to see, they too have that choice, they’re as deserving as me. Let all find their way to contribute back to the whole, not against another but in support of each and everyone’s chosen role.

Now you can decide which role you want to play … be in the light or in the darkness, be the light or be the darkness everyone has their roles. This is just a short little thing to help you see more clearly what your future world can be.

Now you get to decide, in your chosen space there you will reside.

Freedom in Spirituality!

Spirituality is Freedom
Spirituality is experienced as a personal dialog with that internal friend that each person accesses multiple times a day. The more that relationship is ignored the more one suffers. Spirituality focuses on building that internal relationship, the stronger that internal relationship the more happiness and love are experienced by the individual. Spirituality allows one the freedom to follow their own heart and reasoning, it sets one free to be and experience life in a harmonious partnership with the world surrounding them.

Spirituality Liberates To Full All Encompassing Love
Spirituality is based on love and it frees one to experience life to the fullest. To personally discover the cause and consequences of ones own actions. Measuring oneself against the world around them allows a person to maximize harmony and enjoyment from existence in this realm. It allows one the freedom to interact with others without cultural taboos, limited thinking, biases and unenlightened fears that divide people.

Spirituality Recognizes and Embraces Difference
Spiritual people are not threatened by others who hold differing views about life, morality, politics or religious practices. They recognize within themselves their own duality and do not judge others based on their limited conclusions.

Spirituality lets us understand that every action generates a reaction. Some feel negative like suffering, it is a reaction coming from actions already set in motion. Counter actions create counter results. In Spirituality we know this and act accordingly this helps minimize our suffering.

Spirituality lets one discover and understand love in their own unique way of connecting internally with ones Higher Self. That spiritual connection will liberate ones mind to search and find the love path that is ones personal truth.

Spirituality also allows one to live their own love truth without fear of judgement from others.

Spirituality also knows that love and truth is all encompassing acknowledging that another’s love truth is just as valid as ones own.

Spirituality focuses on divine love that we all share without limitations or bias. Divine love shares and builds on itself and doesn’t focus on differences among individuals.

Spirituality understands that you don’t need to depend on anything or anyone to be happy.

Spirituality comes from deep within ourselves and we are all responsible to pursue it as our true source of genuine happiness.

Spirituality understands that we are always where we need to be and we are always worthy to give and receive love in all interactions.

Spirituality supports you on your own journey to discover truth in your own way. Honestly following your internal compass tells us what is right because it is truth.

Spirituality Brought us inspired spiritual writings which came from the journeys of others. Those who penned their experiences to share it with others; the details vary by the characters sharing them. The message or messenger is not important it’s the truth that resonates harmoniously deep within each one of us that matters most.

Spirituality is finding that deep internal spiritual connection that will allow you to discover and live your own truth, with the same love and conviction as those Spiritual Masters who came before you.
