Spirituality 101 Report: The Path (Part 2)
The road to enlightenment takes sacrifice, and anything in life worth doing will always be challenging. So now that you have analyzed the specific gifts that make you a unique as an individual, you next need to learn to quiet the mind. In a world of games and gadgets, we are distracted beyond comprehension with electronics in general. So quieting the mind may prove more difficult than one can imagine, but it is necessary to connect with the inner spirit. Remember, true enlightenment is when the physical body and the spirit are in alignment, and that includes listening to the spirit within. It is an essential part of spirituality in general. So if you’re new to the concept of mind control and law of attraction, you will need to practice regularly to build up concentration and to lower distractions.
Do you have the ability to tune others out around you? You will need to master this ability throughout your life. Once quietly in your mind, what are your first thoughts? Do you think positive or negative? Does the mind go to places of worry or anxiety? This is not the place you want to be in those quiet times, so retraining the brain to think positively is crucial to the success of your spirituality. Do you realize that when you are worried or anxious that is Satan trying to slither into your subconscious? Some say that Satan’s most devious trick is making people believe he does not exist, but he does. Satan is always looking to destroy everything that you hold dear, and since we are in a civil war, we are especially under attack. God however has another plan for His people so it is especially important to cling to The Lord as much as possible throughout the day every day. In these dark days ahead of fighting and strife, we look to Him for our salvation and love. We also need to turn to God as our rock and stability through these transitional times in the universe. Fortifying your life with God and making Him the center of “your world” will allow the magic to start happening. Praying is speaking to God, and meditating is listening. Once you start to hear The Word of the Lord, you will find happiness and peace. The spirit within continually wants to be closer to The Lord, and if you are truly blessed, you may have the ability to elevate your consciousness to the tenth and eleventh dimension in heaven. I have been blessed with this ability. I think it is because of my devotion to God and also my guardian angel, Briana.
Like I said, the road to enlightenment takes sacrifice and one way to sacrifice to The Lord is to fast. The modern day distractions provide endless sources of negativity, and the fake foods in this world today have taken over the simple foods our grandparents once ate. When we give sacrifice of food for pleasure and shift the mind to thinking sustainability, our choices start to change for the better. In learning to quiet the mind, fasting provides clarity that once was not there. In shifting the mind to thinking about other priorities beside food, we can shift to a more meaningful existence that is not dominated by our appetite. The core principle of fasting is sustaining on God’s powers to overcome physical limitations. The Daniel Fast is an excellent spiritually cleansing fast that I highly recommend. Fasting does not mean not eating, to be clear, it is about sacrifice. The physical body always wants satisfaction, the realization and learning to quiet that part of your brain will make the sacrifices that much easier as well. So quieting the mind and listening to the spirit are important, and fasting can be a useful tool in achieving this level of elevating the mind, what then? Do you instantly know what to do all the time? Are you instantly infused with wisdom and knowledge and life is just easy? Once again, things worth investing in take time. So I welcome you to start to think of this journey as a marathon. We do not need to sprint anywhere because when you make split decisions it will not bear much fruit; it is only in investing time that you will start to see the real magic of God’s work. Patience is the key to success in life.
It is crucial to learn to be patient and listen to the spirit within on your path because you do not want to veer off. On your path you will find turns, forks, and detours. In this journey along the way there will be distractions, they are called detours. You do not want to take the long detours because they get you off your path only to backtrack and get behind on your goals. Short detours are like rest stops, they are fine. The long detours would be analogous to you manipulating a situation instead of letting things flow in your life. So on this beautiful journey called your path, you will find distractions along the way, but it is in making solid decisions that are not rushed that you will start to see yourself in the flow. The flow of the universe connects with others. In that realm you will start to watch life become much easier and a lot less scary. These are important things to remember as your continue down your path in life.
So on this new journey together to connect and help one another, your path will start to become apparent if you start to listen. If you look past the obvious physical world to a magical place of the spiritual realm, you will start to see there is more to life than what you have been taught at school. You will start to expand your mind and your consciousness to a world that is not seen easily, but it is beautiful. When you start to make and meet goals along that path, you know you are going in the right direction. Enjoying the flow of the universe takes time and patience, but it is worth investing in when you start to receive an abundance of prosperity and blessings. May God Bless us all.
