I often wonder how people of all beliefs, use their spiritual search in this life, on this plain, to actually live this life?
Does your spiritual sense of self aide you in your living, How?
How does what you believe in heart effect how you behave or conduct your life ?
Do you use your faith or belief daily? Weekly? When horrific situations arise?
Tina this is a really good topic... I want to respond yet am very tired right now but the short answer for me is actually I use my spiritual journey to guide me every moment... It no so much dictates my behavior as it sets a tone to it.. I have this faith that the spirit is always with me and shelters me in storms and opens me p to bask in the sunlight of my life...
I struggle to interpret the faith I have in a way that can be shared without a sense of trying to convert anyone... You see I also believe that our journey, although enhanced by community, is a solitary one and Creator meets each of us in the place we can best understand the Creation...
I also feel that faith without some sense of discipleship, learning, growing, etc., is not really faith but imagination.. again this is just me...
I am a spiritual being having a human experience. For me, there's no way to separate my spirituality from my definition of each moment. I have spiritual practices, such as morning meditation, that I do on a regular basis. But my spiritual communication and connection is a 24/7 thing, 365 days a year. Yes, even in my sleep the connection continues, often waking me at the oddest hours.
My belief that I am a spiritual being having a human experience allows me to see there is a much broader picture than that of daily mundane life. So much is going on at any given moment, that many of us miss because we are looking from the eyes of humanity, rather than from the perspective of Universal Unity. So, my spirituality effects everything that I do, and informs how I conduct all of my life ... from the "green" resources I buy for my home, to the way I spend my time in the evening.
