How important is spirituality in your life?
Short or long version?, ok short first.
Very important
Now the longer version. Enjoy
I never gave this subject much thought until maybe 15 yrs ago I prayed for an answer to a problem in my life. Now I was bought up in strict C of E home, church on Sunday, and any other notable holy days. Into the church choir, at the time was the youngest female to be confirmed in the diocese oh it was shall we say by the book 📖. The book being the bible, prayers on our knees every night by our bedside and before meals, how wholesome. What a lie we lived , my dad was a good honest Christian man, my mother draw your own conclusions, let’s just say I decided that if a god could allow a good man like dad to live like he was then screw this I am no longer sending prayers to this weird cruel thing that people pray to. I stopped praying.
Then 15 years ago I didn’t know what to do I tried to pray but I just couldn’t so I asked if anyone could hear me just a little guidance please. My mind went so calm and I felt at peace for the first time in years, I couldn’t explain. It sort of made me sit back and look at this problem with a calm open mind and see which path I should take.
So after this little incident I looked into what I had felt and come to the conclusion it was a moment of clarity helped by spirit guides on further delving I came into this world of spirituality and so many paths and meanings to it. Spirituality to me is a a feeling or sense that there is something greater than ME. I happily acknowledge that now in my head, I am at peace, not all my questions are answered, but the sense of calm I get from this is amazing . It’s a combination of seeing the world differently, understanding life in a way I was never taught, respecting not just people but nature our home. I’m not saying oh look I’m a perfect human because of this, I’m not. But I appreciate things so much more than I did years ago and I appreciate the fact that you may have read this far if you have big hug for you
To be honest I have based my thoughts on the following ;
- Respect for those that have walked before me… Be they my elders or deceased
- .Start right here, where you are now.
- Be at one with your surroundings, create a calm peaceful environment . …
- .You cannot follow in someone else’s footsteps create your own path … …
- There is no right or wrong way of thinking, live true to yourself and yes to god or to Mother Nature if that is who you so wish. But don’t be drawn into thinking you are wrong and everyone else is right.
A big hug to you as well. 🤗 Is that big ‘A’ in green in the end your signature note?
