Health, Wealth And The Pursuit Of Spirituality
Author : Donald Yartes
Spirituality Is A Mystery
The unseen spirit of man is still a mystery in our technological world. A mystery that seemingly does not enjoy a great amount of favor in our self indulgent society. People have little tolerance and very little respect for that which they can’t define or experience. We are in a time where politicians, philosophers, educators, scientists, authors, self-help gurus, psychologists, and even many spiritual leaders have denounced the mystery of faith as unprovable, unscientific and therefore unacceptable. The fact is, we have created so much background noise, we can no longer hear God as the Spirit of man becomes even more obscured.
The world Sheds Truth
Even though we seek truth, the establishment is more than willing to give falsities. There is another way we can embrace the mystery of faith and still function in the world. How can you accept the mystery of faith and be grounded in spiritual practice? Today’s politicians, educators, scientists, writers, self-help psychologists, and even many preachers want to discount anything they can’t prove. If we ask for answers, they're more than willing to hand out scientific evidence that faith is in vain.
But what of the mystery of a flower as it unfolds into a sight of beauty., or a bee that should not be able to fly, but does so with remarkable agility.
The Soul Instills Confidence
The soul of man is his/her identity forever more. The spirit of God is what draws even the most callous man toward God. There is another way to be in our world yet embrace the mystery of faith. Faith must be accepted by the seeker because it is the unseen mystery of future possibilities. Could you believe in something even though there is no evidence? Spirituality is knowing you are connected through inner feelings to something that exist outside our practicality.
Spirituality provides you with a feeling of well being, security and belonging.
Spirituality Brings Warmth And Belonging
Spirituality is an inner closeness a warmth that wells up from the inner being. It is not so much a mindset as a wellness of mind that envelops the being. A spiritual person welcomes change, challenge and life itself. He/she looks into the world with a vision of love and respect. There are no challenges that can’t be conquered, there are no quest that can’t be worked out. The spiritual person knows limitations are only self imposed restrictions.
How can you have a more spiritual life? Perhaps by being honest with yourself and admitting you are part of God’s creation. Let’s face it, God does not play by the same rules as us. In fact he has always been known to make His own rules and embrace man when he stumbles over them.
To Face The Unknown
Don’t be afraid of seeking that which is unknown or mysterious. Seek the hidden, and unknowable elements of life. The answers are there for you to discover, as they have always been. Don’t give up on an idea just because you don’t understand it at the moment. We are in a partnership where we don't have to know every little detail to enjoy life. No matter how spiritual you are, there will still be many times when you will not find an answer to a question. It doesn’t matter, realize that bad things happen the same as good and you must have faith in both.
Demonstrate your faith by responding to Nay Sayers by simply answering "I don't know, it’s a mystery." By always being honest, you express you have limitations, are weak, and have humbleness in your heart in the presence of God. Also, being honest allows you to keep seeking that which is not understood and bring you closer to certainty.
Find your quiet place
Find a quiet place and enter your private place, deep inside where soul meets spirit. Experience it, feel it as you slowly breath, calmly, silently. Sense the presents of God as you express your appreciation, humbleness and concerns to a forgiving reality.
Here are a few ideas you may use,
1, Realize that the world is overflowing with abundance, and responsive possibilities. When you adapt a new attitude, your perceptions change and you see the world as a friendly, providing environment. When you realize the world provides abundance and is not hostile, your objectives become genuine possibilities. Possibilities in fact, become realities, because you now experience from a higher intensity. This is the first step in being receptive to a world that provides rather than restricts.
2, Announce to the world that you attract success and abundance because you are a child of God. This establishes a vocal connection between you and God. It is your goal is to reduce any reserve between you and that which you desire. Be assured, abundance and success will not come to you, you must seek them out. Success is within you and abundance is for the taking, it is up to you to take that which is rightfully yours.
3, Stay in an attitude of allowing. When you resist you are in disharmony with your desire for abundance and your beliefs in your own abilities. You are saying, in essence, you are unworthy. Your attitude must be one of allowing abundance to come to you and ignoring efforts by others to discourage you. A harmonious attitude also signifies that you no longer rely on pervious self-oriented beliefs that abundance could not be a part of your life. You now have an attitude of acceptance; you have stopped resisting through negative thoughts and doubts and now understand that you and creation are truly one and the same. See a world of abundance and your desires flowing unencumbered directly to you. Refuse to stand in the way or have any thought that compromises your alignment with your provider.
Stay focused, be vigilant and realize, the world provides for a good and appreciative steward.
