Spirituality

  Spirituality is a common termed used to denote a deeper connection to our world, to our fellow human beings and ultimately God if we believe in a Divine creator. Spirituality is not something we can see or touch, but yet is something that we often times sense and frequently emotionally feel. Its like faith to a christian. Its is the substance of things hoped for but the evidence of things not seen. By definition spirituality is defined as, "the concept of an alleged immaterial reality, an inner path enabling a person to discover the essence of his/her being, or the deepest values by which people live.

  Every human being on the planet has the ability to be a spiritual person, but I don't believe it just naturally happens. It is possible for it to just naturally happen? Perhaps, but we must at some point in our lives define ourselves as having this possibility then seek it with every ounce of our being. For me spirituality allows me to experience my life outside the realm of who I am as an individual. My sense of who I am as a human being is expounded when I seek to connect to my world through being spiritual. In my opinion spirituality is something others not only seek, but can feel on a certain level when someone is operating from this perspective in life. Becoming spiritual is a mode of operating that connects you to the world in a way that nothing else can. It will provide you with insight to the human dilemma of what is life, and perhaps more importantly what is the purpose each of us has as individuals for being here.

  Have I always viewed my life from this perspective? "No", Through the experiences of my life, and often times an attitude of indifference I have arrived here. Spirituality is directly connected to wisdom, they operate independently but are connected to each other. For it is first of all wise to believe in a creator. That our very existence is tied to a spiritual being, who's very energy is responsible for everything that exist. The bible speaks so often of the Holy Spirit, this concept that God through his infinite wisdom knew that simply allowing us to thrive and exist through a purely physical presence would not be enough. That we would need another way of confirming his existence by something else we could feel, but not necessarily see or touch.

  There is in itself something very empowering about seeking out a spiritual connection to our world. We become more in tuned with the planet and mother nature. Our ability to care for and appreciate others becomes more profound. The secrets of life that baffle us in our days of youth and ignorance start to become more resolute, and we find ourselves having moments where we simply say aha. Spirituality will also give you an energy that is found no where else on the planet. It is the source of miraculous healing and one having the ability to triumph over life threatening diseases. It can also be instrumental in defeating insurmountable problems. Tapping into the unlimited resource of energy that comes from seeking to become a spiritual individual is the only resource that has no limitations. How could it? when it comes from the only unlimited energy source in our universe and that is God.

  Finally in conclusion, it should be each of our causes to seek to become more spiritual. But lets face it, it is not for everybody, but only because we choose not to seek it. There is after all a form of evil that exists on our planet that might be unseen, but there is nothing spiritual about it. That would be because being spiritual is about becoming something good, becoming something bigger than life that we are inclined to want to give away to others because we have experienced it for ourselves. Its about connecting to God who is solely loving caring and in total control, and because he has chosen not to make himself visible to us has to let his presence be made known through being spiritual. If we could all only learn to operate from a mode of being spiritual, the world could and would be a much more inhabitable and loving place.
