In the spiritual world, we are presented with certain
information that may throw us off our journeys; simply
because we are taught that there are only a few truths that
are set in stone. For example, spiritual people are constantly
told to be happy all the time in order to be blessed. This is
simply not reasonable, because on an everyday basis
humans are faced with the harsh realities of the world
(especially black people). This example is a small insight into
the type of brainwashing techniques of the New Age
philosophies. In this article, we are unlearning what we’ve
been thought.
Here Are Five Spiritual Truths
You’ll Learn Over Time:
1. The real purpose of meditation is to separate you from
your own mind, not for getting you more into it.
The human mind is filled with so much clutter and noise,
and meditation is the key to silence the sound by getting you
to step out of it, not “going within”. Meditation gets all the
praise because it is a tool for the advancement of the mind,
with the mind being our most powerful asset.
2. How you do anything, is how you do everything. ALL of
your habits are an expression of your inner state.
Simply stated, a passionate person’s passion is reflected
through all that they do. Their passion has no on/off button,
and they have an optimistic view on life. This is because
passion is a strong energy that fuels our lives; if we are low
on passion, chances are we feel depressed, and when our
passion is high, we are at our happiest. Put (Love + Care +
Thought = Passion) into every facet of your life, and watch
everything change for the better.
3. You can learn something from everything and
everywhere. Keeping an open mind is the key to spiritual
enlightenment.
Do you reject messages that are inspiring simply because
you don’t like the messenger? This is a common thing to do,
and while you may think that you are aligning with your
morals by doing so; in actuality denying a message because
of the messenger is an act of closed-mindedness. Life is a
school and everybody is your teacher!
4. There are no destinations in life, it is one long journey.
In life, it may feel like you have to do ________, in order to
reach ________. That is the pattern of life as we’re told.
However, there is no such thing as a destination in this
rollercoaster life, it is a long-winding road and should be
seen a such.
5. Growing up is a scam; maintain a child-like mind for
everlasting health and happiness.
We are constantly told: “grow up!” However, what does
growing up entail? Does it mean we should sink into routine
and mediocrity? Or to let go of our passions and interests in
order to be a “proper” adult?
