Simple Spirituality
|
| |
Our spirit is our essence which animates us. Being spiritual is the simplest non-complicated way to experience life.

Beginning
|
| |
Where am I now? When I can answer this question through direct experience I begin to exist in a different way.

Starting from Where We Are
|
| |
When impartial self-observation has been applied for a period long enough to get some clarity on where we are, we need to begin the process sometimes referred to as “work on oneself.”

Starting Over and Over Again
|
| |
Even though we experience a unique exhilaration when we awaken to the “now,” when we lose ourselves back into our functional activity, we forget the awe and magnificence of being present. We go on for long periods of time feeling stressed out, tense, overburdened, bored, and other undesirable states. We forget that there is something else – an oasis of being and loving, in this moment.

Simple Questions
|
| |
Whenever I remember, or bring some attention to myself as an individual not lost in what I am doing, I can ask some simple questions that help adjust the depth of my awareness.

The Obstacles
|
| |
Many things take our energy in ways that make it difficult to attain a deeper connection with the universe through consciousness and love. These obstacles must be recognized and addressed before progress can be made.

Grace
|
| |
We are surrounded by everything we need for our growth. Everything is provided for us but we are closed and numb to it, like we are surrounded by air but seldom are we aware of it. How can I become sensitive to the subtle energies that surround me? How can I get help when I need it most?

Resonance
|
| |
We are structured in a way that we naturally resonate with certain activities, things and people and not with others. We can choose what we wish to resonate with through love.

God the Whole and God the Essence
|
| |
Everything that exists and the source that all existence emanates from are both aspects of God. Humans have the unique potential of consciously realizing the unification of both of these aspects. We are all parts of God, but we don’t have the conscious awareness of God the Essence or the non-dimensional point everything issues from.

Riding the Breath
|
| |
Our body breathes from our birth until our death. For the most part, our body knows how to do this well and if we interfere with this process without proper understanding, we can disturb the body’s homeostasis. At the same time if we grasp a few principles, attending our awareness to the process of breathing and altering it according to instructions from a guide or teacher, we can learn to ride our breath like riding a horse but the journey is in the realm of consciousness.
