I had placed my spiritual journey on my ‘to do list’ that I have yet to get to. I’ve allowed myself to exist on this planet in my human form. For the longest time I’ve said that I will seek out the side that is hidden. I told myself that when certain things are in place I will take flight and rise above the habitual way of thinking about things. Of course in re-evaluating how my journey has been intertwined with others, I do realize that I’ve neglected me. I suppose I put myself aside because I had NO instructions on how to find yourself spiritually. No one comes to you and say, “in order for you to enter into a state of mind that is different from mundane consciousness you need to do this OR that.” Moreover, most wouldn’t know how to direct me as I’ve distanced myself from rituals that are TOO constricting or TOO attached to an organized religion I’ve chosen NOT to follow.
Seeking to balance both the human and spiritual me, you’d think that as someone who is FASCINATED with finding out more about how we tick, that I would have embraced myself spiritually so I could understand others by first understanding me. My soul knows that if I were to break free of the gravity that held me to a particular way of thinking, feeling or being, I know that I would take flight mentally AND rise above my human self. NO longer will I yearn to locate that part of me that is beyond the constraint of linear time and the world of form; because I am in the place where I can experience the essential boundlessness that defines the experience of humanity.
My soul intuitively understands that by simply listening to my inner voice and those around me, I can walk hand in hand with both parts of myself and become whole. I FIRMLY believe that this merger is the universe’s way of CONSTANTLY affecting my state of being on this planet. My role as master of my destiny is cemented when I choose to make change work in my favor. They say that existence as we know it will come to an end @ one or more points in our lives, making way for some new and perhaps unexpected mode of being.
I don't get spirituality or religion. What's wrong with the physical? The material? What makes anyone think there is something else or that IF there is it's going to somehow be better than what we can ACTUALLY percieve as opposed to what we IMAGINE we can percieve? Why is "ordinary" consciousness mundane? What about this missing "spiritual" element is supposed to make us better? Is it not little more than just exercising our imaginations when we make claims of spirituality? No one can prove they've had a "spiritual" experience reducing them to little more than subjective expiraments in the suspension of disbelief. We can prove to have had physical or material experiences however. Some beyond fantastic some hellish. This is how we know something is real. It has a positive and a negative side which is tangible. I have a little trouble believing in something which is supposedly always good and only ever makes things better but which is intangible and has no equalizing negativity attributed to it.
ReplyDeleteCOGENT ASCENDING - I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE PHYSICAL, BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS MORE FOR US HERE THAN JUST THE MATERIAL. BUT DON'T GET ME WRONG, I AM ONE OF THOSE PERSONS THAT HAVE THESE WEIRD IDEAS ABOUT THE WORLD WHERE I DO & SAY THINGS THAT TAKES THINGS TO THAT EXTREME PLACE.
