Why I’m so in Love with Spirituality

I'm going to get a little person here.

There is truly no other area in my life that has brought me so much love, wisdom and fulfillment than my spiritual connection to the Divine.

There are sooo many paths to “getting there” and I feel I have experienced quite a variety of paths to connect with the Creator of the universe - God. 

Of all the paths that are available to us, I feel the one that has resonated the most with my mind, body, spirit connection is having a spiritual experience through the practice of prayer and meditation. All the paths that I have stepped on during my lifetime have all led me to diving deeper into what “spirituality” means. 
​

What is Spirituality, anyway? According to the dictionary, it is the quality of being concerned with the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things. 
​

I found the word quality in the definition so interesting, because I feel that there were many times in my life that I had a very bleak quality of concern with my soul. My attention was purely on what I could get in this world, and even, what I could get out of spirituality at first. ​
​

Through my communication (communion) between me (self) and God (Self), I've learned there is nothing to get in this life. The only thing to do is to be, to be Love. 

Having a strong relationship with our Creator is THE most important priority in my life. It is the only way I feel I can exist in this dimensional plane now. 

For me, the only way to “be spiritual” is to LOVE by having a direct relationship with a Higher Power. 

The various names - God, Great Spirit, Creator, Great Mystery, The One, The Supreme Good, Our Father, The Universal Mother, The Nameless, etc., this is just semantics. It is the feeling of Love, of BEING love, that is most important.​
​

The One who has many names yet remains nameless is the Energy of Pure Love. In my experience God is universal, all-loving, androgynous - possessing both masculine and feminine qualities, with positive and negative aspects, yet transcending them all. 

Spirituality, religion, science, they are all one and the same for me now, because they teach me that there is only ONE THING THAT IS TRULY IMPORTANT and it’s to be LOVE. 

In my opinion, when the ancient Greeks said 'Know Thyself' (γνῶθι σεαυτόν - gnóthi seautón), what I truly feel is a deeper spiritual connection is to Love Thyself. 

Unity Consciousness shows us we are all connected, we are all One, and if I love myself, I will love my sisters and brothers. To love myself, not harming myself by thought, word or deed, is to be of service to the Divine.Most especially, then, I am able to love others and the world about me. 

I love spirituality because it brings me home to myself and closer to the Universal Power that heals and guides all of life. 

Sending my love,
