The Concepts of Spirituality
An account of my journey with Spirit & Self

Our complete existence is anchored in our spiritual selves – or lack thereof. Those of us who develop our spiritual selves get to experience all the amazing pleasures life has to offer because you earn it through the process of spiritual development of the Self. The small-town farmer in Kansas, the traveler who traverses all the world from a backpack, the nurse who is cursed at least once a month by hurting patients, the teacher who masters the rambunctious children, the famous and rich like Mrs. Oprah Winfrey (a personal hero & a legend) – they’ve all connected to their spiritual selves and begin leading and living fulfilling and purposeful lives. Those of us who decide

It’s only in letting go and trusting myself that I begin to stop falling to my death and instead, I began floating among the clouds. I didn’t need to rise from the pit of despair, it just melted away. I didn’t need to work hard first, or make money right away, or get a better spouse right await, or even get out of the financial crisis I was in right way. I didn’t need to do anything other than being present with myself in love. That moment awakened the source of power in me and it’s blessed me not only to live the life I dreamed but gave me the liberty to not pursue happiness – but experience it anytime I choose, anywhere I choose. It’s only in letting go that you can float in the cosmos of what it means to be Human. The Spiritual Self is the bridge between the real world outside us and the indescribable, x-factor that makes us tick – the formless and timeless sense of higher purpose and divine design. It’s the part of me that makes me a Human being and more importantly, a child of the Universe and a descendent from the stars themselves. One thing you discover right away is that it’s entirely impossible to not share it, to not bring other people out of their darkness. This is because, in the Spirit of being Human and becoming one with Self – you must also become one with others – a most fulfilling sense of selflessness. So, I share what I’ve experienced, what I’ve lived and learned over the years in every way that I can. My Spiritual cup is running over and I for one, am not the type to waste a good wine. The spirit is the best wine you’ll ever have inside of you and the best part is you can still be the captain of your life – even if you get drunk on the spirit. My flow from the Spirit is unlimited and boundless, the limitless well of my life now and

    While this statement is not completely correct it is also not completely incorrect. Spirituality is a very broad concept that cannot be limited to just one definition. It can be different things for different people. For some, spirituality could be engaging with others and being a part of a collective community while for others, it may be spending time in a meditative state sharing your thoughts with God. To generalize spirituality is a common mistake made by many people.…

    The worldview philosophy I most closely identify with is cathartic (psychological) transformation and empowerment. I believe the influencers that have caused me to seek authoritative careers and embark on achievements beyond limitations to validate my worth were my absent parents. I’ve experienced a lot of personal distress as a child growing up with the feeling of abandonment, insecurity and neglect. I felt my love ones had no logical reasoning for allowing me to grow into an adult feeling these type damaging emotions and cognitive illusions. According to Psalm 51:10 “Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.”…

    One might feel that Spirituality is of no help or guidance because it is a deeply personal form and no other person may be able to help. It might also appear that who should be listened to regarding spiritual guidance or the supreme confidence that man is his best judge and nobody else can guide, may also prevail. Defects in one’s…

    True and False Self The most interesting comment made in Immortal Diamond is that, “our ongoing curiosity about our true self seems to lessen if we settle into any successful role” (Rohr, p. 9). Like many people, I have fallen subject to defining myself based on my successes and still never really finding true happiness. I always thought that being successful - having a prestigious job title, a big house, nice things etc, would lead to happiness. However, I have always found myself searching for more even after all my successes, never really knowing what that “more” was that would make me feel complete.…

    The Struggle for Metamorphosis The search for self-actualization is the true quest of life. It is much easier, particularly for women, in this era of fast pace, equal opportunity, and court rulings to achieve this goal than in past centuries.

    Discovering Your Self-Identity Who am I?

    Living a life is not a simple thing to do. When living, a person must submerge himself or herself entirely into the life he or she lives. He or she must indulge in all aspects of life, and unquestionably look beyond what is only apparent of him or her. Many people make the mistake of simply focusing on their own lives, while neglecting the reality that boisterously roars around them. Being locked in one’s own mind is a dangerous catastrophe.…

    Human beings, as individuals, place a substantial amount of importance on and extensively value the consideration that we are unique. This is foundational aspect of human nature, interaction, and being. But what does this uniqueness mean, and what does it mean to us? The concept of the self or having a personal identity leads to questions of what one is really addressing when making statements about the self; such as, how is the concept of the self created or formed? Does the self persist through time, and how can we know that this identity is the same as we flow through time?…
