Spirituality - A pathway to clarity and life purpose
- Rev. Jane Rosalea Booth Robertson
What is Spirituality?
How often do you wonder what your life is all about? Spirituality helps us to bring clarity and purpose to our often complex lives. It is a pathway to discover our whole ‘being’, as we seem to forgotten who we are and what our life purpose is. We often feel scattered and separate from our family and friends and many of us feel terribly separated from God.
For many, God is something out there in the ethers or in heaven or somewhere beyond. Spirituality is about embracing God within and feeling the wholeness of our Self with God. Self, with a capital ‘S”, means our whole being joining human self and spiritual self without separation.
Spirituality and Religion
For eons, people have searched for these answers of who were are and why are we here. They have looked to religions that have provided these answers. But for others, there seems to be something beyond religious dogma and rules for living that keeps them seeking for a greater Divine connection. This Divine connection is called spirituality, a pathway to an intimate relationship with our Creator, whom many call God. We experience this relationship deeply within our heart as we meditate or commune with God in our daily lives. In spirituality, we see God in all life and within each person. As God is revealed, we feel an immense joy from the love that fills our hearts. As our heart fills with this divine love, we experience a sense of peace that was never felt before. It is beyond description and once it is felt and embraced we know it is always with us. This love sustains and protects us in each moment. Once you have experienced this intimate connection with God, you feel connected in every moment. You have a knowing that you are never alone. When things are upsetting in your life, you know that it has greater meaning and that you can pass through these times and survive them with grace instead of depression and panic.
Spirituality embraces all moments of our human existence and reveals to us our spiritual self that continues on as we transform after our earthly life.
How Spirituality Helps
Spirituality can assist you in many ways:
• to honour all religious thought and teachings. Each religion holds the codes, symbols and ancient wisdom that helps us to ascend into greater light and love.
• to see is not a matter of right or wrong in spirituality. It is about each person’s heart opening to embrace love and reflecting that love in our daily lives.
• to honour one another’s path and allowing each person to grow and prosper. If we care deeply about one another, we will not allow anyone to suffer or to live in poverty.
• to envision a world where we are free to be who we are and where we know our life purpose…to serve and love one another…to create the life we want in radiant peace.
• to ascend into a greater remembrance of who you are.
Experiencing Spirituality
But how do we really experience spirituality? I believe that mediation and holistic living are the ways to open your heart. With an open heart, you let go of your fears and allow miracles to occur in your life. You transform in so many wondrous ways. Get to know your spiritual Self and experience the union of your body, mind and spirit. A spiritual life is exciting as it encourages us to be creative and take risks, knowing ‘All is Well’ always.
