Spirituality of the Mind

QUIETING THE TURMOIL OF THE MIND that we may come to know peace within is a solitary journey; one of perserverance and faith.  Having others of like mind around us may provide a welcoming sense of fellowship and bolster our determination to resolve the dilemma, but we alone are accountable.

As is ever the case when seeking Truth, the answer lies in becoming still and going within to nourish with our own spirituality the mind become enlightened.

“… a welcoming sense of fellowship …”
I enjoy the fellowship of many spiritual seekers.  Whether at the Brahma Kumaris Meditation Centre, the Catholic Pastoral Centre, Christian Science Church, Grace Presbyterian Church or the book club at The FCJ Centre… together, we are seeking Truth by nourishing our souls.  At the day’s end each one is on a solitary journey to Becoming fulfilled. blw

The Soul Revealed ...

Of a certainty, we are, each one of us, unlike any other. As such, it behooves us to be none other than that one person God means us to be. Though never easy, our foremost challenge in life is to acknowledge who we are and to love ourself.

That which is seen by others—no less so by ourself—is not our true Being. Truth, ever our guidepost, is not of the body but of the soul; each a child of God in His own spiritual image.

In thus honouring our true Being, all the while giving thanks to God, we experience a wondrous harmony of mind, body and soul, to know peace within. A new-found selflessness that reflects the divine light of the soul enables us, in all humility, to love and to give freely of ourself to others. Only thus do we come to know and love ourself.

Truth, ever our guidepost…  Last week I was wound up like a watch that was about to spring open… WHY??  Why was I critical of myself and of others… on and on… ugh!!  I thought I could just keep ignoring my feelings even though as time went on I wasn’t being true to my spiritual purpose. I was feeling ever more unworthy. 

*Meditation classes teach: the answers are within me… obstacles to my peacefulness are never ‘out there’.  It was time to ask mySELF, “what is going on within me?  why am I doubting myself?”  The answer became clear… I must set aside time every day to nourish my soul.  blw
