Spirituality and Humanhood

Perhaps the biggest spiritual lesson of all is to realize that there’s nothing more spiritual than being human and living life as fully as one can every moment. I love how Liz Greene (a well-known psychological astrologer) describes spirituality – she says that, there is a spirituality to every planet in astrology (every planet represents a specific experience of reality) and she gave the example of that, there is a spirituality to even an atheist, someone who does not believe in God. Spirituality can be a dangerous place if it is used (often subconsciously) as a defense against facing something in our actual physical experience; which, unfortunately is rather common especially in religions. People experiencing pain in their reality chooses to follow religious practices or other escapist means (such as drugs, excessive partying, excessive work) in hope of ‘transcending’ their pain while in truth, the pain must be lived through and dealt with for what it is in order for us to be fully ‘be’ with life. And perhaps the most spiritual person is one who can fully own his or her power as a human being fully capable of creating his or her own life, face whatever challenges that comes unexpected, while also honoring that, maybe, there is something larger than her/himself that governs the laws of life of which he or she is intimately connected with while at the same time, he or she can readily choose to harness its power to her/his empowerment and manifestation.

May all beings experience their deepest spiritual nature through remembering all that is, the Love and Light he or she embodies within her/himself. Namaste.
