Spiritual Development
The first instance of conscious
Spiritual development is
becoming aware of having a
Spiritual nature….
and that this aspect of ourselves
is actually the most important…..
and then……
…to be ever-mindful of the way we interact
with others in our lives,
making friends with our conscience, and
cultivating an awareness of our inner motives
….to be mindful of how we treat the earth
and all other life-forms thereon
…to not condemn nor judge….
…to create a greater awareness in ourselves of the
Divine Plan and the ‘oneness of all things’
. ..to work on those areas of our lives where
forgiveness or acceptance is lacking
…to look at the greater whole…the bigger picture…
not just our own selfish wants…
…to create a more clear and open
connection with Spirit,…
with our guides and teachers…
… to explore and nourish any spiritual gifts,
including healing…
that only the greater good be served
…to be willing to work on the aspects of ourselves
that need refining… of accepting that
there are aspects of ourselves
that need refining….
….to be aware and accepting of others’ rights
to their own path, and their right to live
their own lives in whichever way they choose…
be they family… friends… or strangers
…to look beyond the obvious…
…to maintain humility….. so as not to, in any way
exert ‘power over’ others, particularly those
in a vulnerable position. …
… to walk with….rather than ‘above’ …..
The most important emphasis of it all….?
Spiritual Development is after all….
…a life-long process… and beyond…
