This Week’s Quotation:
“Truly spiritual people are not only seeking a spiritual experience. They are having a spiritual experience and they are embodying that experience as fully as possible in their lives. They are building a body of love. Our human soul cries out for the spirit to enter consciousness fully and express through thought, feeling, word and action. The Being who is the truth of you longs to enter your soul and to enter the world in which you live.”
—David Karchere, Becoming a Sun, p. 265
Step Into Your Life
What a vast difference there is between talking about something and doing it. As David said, truly spiritual people are embodying their spirituality, not just seeking it. That is very different from “one day I’ll . . .” statements.
A friend of mine recently dug up a poem I wrote probably 10 years ago. It was all about stretching into a new spiritual reality.
Here are a couple of lines from the poem:
“stretch me and make me break the ties of this falsity.
wipe my eyes so I might see
the next step of death and birth”
Looking back at those words reminds me how vital it is to consciously live, let things go, and let things come. We can’t keep setting the table forever. The guests need to be welcomed and the meal enjoyed. Yes, taking that step can be scary. “What if they don’t like the food?” Maybe they won’t, but what if they love it?!
Internal change can be so personal and private, yet when it takes root, no one can take it away from you. You are having a spiritual experience because you are allowing the Being you are to enter you and live.
Enjoy the experience. Nothing will ever be the same.
What does it mean to become a sun?
Every human being is already a sun on the inside—a being of intense love and light. The difference is that some people have the vision and courage to become a sun on the outside. This difference is our human destiny.
Thank-you Jane! So true what you are saying. As I am having a spiritual experience I see things that i have been clinging to for years falling away in front of me and celebrating life from this place within me & sharing in this growth with the people in my life. Honouring wherever they are & loving where I am in the reception of themselves. recognizing the presence of something available to be shared together from the place that we are each at in our lives. .From this place I am finding an ability to access deeper and deeper levels of love for myself and other people. So great to share in this with you Jane.
After 29 years of searching I stepped into my life 56 years ago and love the experience of stepping into it every new day. Great to do it with you, Jane.
Blessings All
‘Nothing will ever be the same….SO true….life just gets better.”Embracing my own spirituality has done this for me personally; Also, I recall speaking those very words to my family when their first born Nora safely arrived and drew breath; Nora started Kindergarden this week and life is far from being the same…it is simply put sweeter and more beautiful. Thank-you Jane.
