Beginning the Journey into Spirituality


We are all made up as a three-part being when we come into this relative world: mind, body, and spirit. This is also known as subconscious, conscious and superconscious, or Father, Son and Holy Ghost, or whatever triad description works best for you. This article is all about reaching clarity on the subject of spirituality so we will use the term mind, body and spirit.


Our mind, body and spirit beingness is in perfect balance at birth. We are love and love surrounds us. As we venture into this relative world, we understand we are one with the source of all things. We are one with God, or Allah, or Jehovah, or whatever you wish to call the universal source. For clarity's sake we will call the universal source God.


At birth we know we are one with God and our spirit is in balance with our mind and body. We are launched into this world with the greatest of expectations. A miracle has happened. We have no needs except to be nurtured by our mother's milk and the love of mankind. Well, what happened between this blissful time of balance and how we view the world today as adults?


The process of life in this physical world and a set of beliefs that have been passed down through the millennia have affected the way that we view the world and our relationship to it. At the heart of these beliefs is the granddaddy of them all: The belief that we are separate from each other and separate from the universal source of all that is; specifically, the belief that we are separate from God.


We need to define the foundational concepts that will put spirituality back into our everyday lives. To do this we must explore how we view the world today, both individually, and as a society. We must explore how the perceptions we hold about ourselves serve us or not, and whether they serve the planet we live on. We must also look at available options for us to pursue and use if we so choose.


As we venture into this journey, I ask that you suspend your judgments and open up your heart and your mind to this information. As you journey down this path of spirituality you will find that you will begin to eliminate your judgments about people and events, and start enjoying a more accepting attitude about the people and events that show up in your life. As you venture further, you will see the perfection in the process and how this is an effortless journey that you are creating to fulfill your deepest intentions and desires. In the process you will discover how you can create the person that you wish to be while you are fulfilling your life's desires. You will see how your beingness creates your doingness, which results in a quest that focuses more on who and what you are being and not on what you are doing.


Let us begin our journey in earnest. Our quest is to learn about the nuts and bolts of spirituality. The first step of our journey is to understand why we are the way we are now. Why is it that we are not in balance with our mind, body, spirit? Why are we living lives of constant frustration and having such a hard time finding the simple concept of inner peace? These questions and more are answered as we follow the path of our journey into spirituality. This journey will carry us to new vistas that were previously unknown. It begins with open hearts and open minds. Let us move forward and begin our journey.
