Being spiritual is a way of life, where first one who is aware that we share this universe, this world, nothing belongs to anyone, everything absolutely everything in this world is passing, nothing ends with death unless this body that is just a place of our soul for a while.
Being spiritual means learning gradually come into harmony with everything around us, learning that the more you give, the more you have, learn that the vibration of each individual affects all who are in their vicinity. So if your spiritual progress will improve your environment and everyone will benefit.
Nobody can be happy for others, no one can fail to be happy because others are not, but we can not afford that our way worse the way of others...
In the material world who has more, it is because others have less, but in the spiritual world who gives more love, more love receives, who teaches others to share their knowledge, we lose nothing and those who receive knowledge learn and improve.
Praying, repeating sentences, not an act to allow more pleasure to a magnificent God, is an act of gratitude or even meditation.
It is also a portal that opens into a interior plane to recognize our internal weaknesses, our dark and forgotten corners.
The comforting prayer is one that aims to improve the soul of those who perform, and bring no consolation if you ask an improvement in the material plane.
All beings come into this world to learn, and therefore learn from birth until the day I leave this body. We should not grieve for the many experiences that have made us suffer, every one leaves at least one important lesson, perhaps more than one ... we can be sad when a bad experience is repeated because it shows us that we could learn from her the first time and therefore it happens again to return to give the opportunity to learn.
If we accept that we were born to learn, why beg God for salvation as an experience that will bring us eternal teaching? ... Why is it so hard?, Think about the eternity of the soul ... not in the passenger of this life, after all we will all grow old and die.
Then back to the beginning, am spiritual because I pray? Because I repeat mantras? Because I participate in spiritual gatherings? Because I practice yoga or meditation? Because I practice Reiki? Because I buy spiritual books and try to learn about it, all I can?
I can say that just because some of them ... you are not spiritual. It is not a spiritual person who prays at home or in your church and then when it moves on the street is a bad person with their neighbors ...
It is not spiritual people just only because he say it is, but who behaves as such, who think and feel on the spiritual plane.
And ¿how then?
Well, part of what must be learned in life is to be a good neighbor, it seems very basic right? But a good neighbor is one who is willing to help without thinking of a benefit. Looking for help in what may yet who ask him for the good of all.
It also seeks to improve himself, and every time you have opportunity to consider how to achieve change, works on it and transform them step by step onto virtues, he does.
It's not my intention to give a long list, so I suggest you to search in dictionaries the whole list of virtues and serve as an example.
But please do not take all the roads, do not try to look all virtues to achieve in a month, remember that the spiritual cord can not stretch beyond what may or breaks.
Every spiritual path is a winding road of gradual improvement, choose a goal and works near it, not divide your efforts in many goals, it usually does not work.
I'm talking about normal people with normal jobs and therefore can not spend all your day to the spiritual path, perhaps the freest more time move faster, maybe not, it can be distracted in ways that do not lead to better plan and who may have less time and more convincing use their short time very effectively.
So my suggestion is this, find your target, that only you can choose them, for a time of day to work on it thoroughly, is preferably every day at the same time, there is little time at least 15 minutes but that time is sacred to you and only you. You can start with a mantra, well sung, singing the best you can the sound of each syllable, so that the sound vibrate your body, follow with your chosed prayer, and always ends with a silence as deep as you can within your own .
If possible try in the course of the day silently repeat your prayer as often as possible.
That is a spiritual path, but not let in the rest of your day to be contaminated with actions that go contrary.
Was already well along this article, we will continue tomorrow ...
a hug, Paul Barbe
