Spiritual Awareness
Spiritual awakening often comes in the unexpected ways. My journaling this morning began by writing about a tree standing in the middle of the lake. A beautiful old tree which was bare of what we would consider made it alive and thriving, but still profoundly beautiful none the less. But this lesson from Mother Nature will just have to wait for another time, because then I looked up and sure a fabulous sight. A single line of clouds stretched across the sky. I knew at once that today’s contemplation was going to have to shift from the tree to clouds.
So often in a spiritual journey we find our way step by step. Sometimes these steps take us forwards and sometimes backwards, but if we being true to our journey, nearly always along a single path of a discovery of self. Each step takes us closer to the realisation of God or pure consciousness, even if it does seem like a backward step.
The higher we move in consciousness, the more we begin to see the material world from a whole new perspective, a spiritual perspective. The dark clouds clear freeing us from the associated fears, anxieties, and stresses of a fast-paced material realm. Our mind and thoughts slow down, the inner skies clear, and finally we relax into the joy of infinite and eternal consciousness where all our needs are known and met without the struggle, and without the striving, and without the toiling. How do we reach these clear skies? By staying constantly grounded in the Truth of who we really are – Pure Consciousness.
