I have a question about spirituality.

[BROOK]

Very wise words Day, beautifully put..the only thing I will add is "you play with fire..
you get burned"

Though I do agree with day about being aware of the wolves in sheeps' clothing, not all of us that promote and believe wholeheartedly in love and peaceful living are wolves. Being one of those peace lovers can also lead to being gullible, which is what I suggest you not be. Question everything, especially what you've been taught regarding spirituality and/or religious belief systems. While it would be easy to believe or disbelieve whatever I read on these forums/books/media, depending on how the information resonates with me, I've found that it's best for me to do my own investigation into matters that matter to me. Not only does investigation lead to facts that I may not like, it forces me to face up to the sometimes ugly truth of the planet that we inhabit. I encourage you to look into your own spirit to lead you in the right directions, and though you may experience fear, go through those doors anyway. Education and enlightenment come from personal experiences, and only you can be your experiencer. Always, be true to yourself and thoughtful of others. Peace and well wishes.

It really is just that simple, now isn't it?

Good advice, but if it really was that simple, wouldn't we all already be fully enlightened spiritual beings with full control over this matter realm? I think there is more to the story...

it got side tracked a few times..but it's pretty much up front..and to the point

Wow, thank you everyone for all the posts! I was an agnostic for many years until about a year ago when I discovered all the great whistleblower testimonies on Project Camelot and opened my eyes and mind to a wider reality. I have always had a fascination with space and UFO's since I was a kid and exploring all possibilities has been almost natural to me. Unfortuanetely, since I was raised in a strict baptist family, my spiritual growth was severely stunted (ironic, huh?) Anyway, I hope it's not too late for me to obtain some growth as a better person/spirit since I just turned 45 (not that age has a bearing, but I just feel that I have wasted most of my life).

I also sometimes feel as though I am so set in my ways that change will come much harder.

Anyway, thank you all for your feedback.

The moment you turn yourself to grow as a better person /spirit is always the right one

Blessings on your journey

Love and kindness

Oh my gosh, please loose that thought! You have wasted nothing.

Time has no bearing on your walk back home! I promise you (I am THAT confident in this... ) your 45 years have great and significant purpose - it got you to this point NOW, here and NOW.

Transformation/realization can happen in the blink of an eye!

Transformation happens in the NOW.

Spirituality...When do I consider myself to be a spiritual person?

I don’t claim to be completely spiritually enlighten, but I would say, the moment when I begin to think, feel, live, breath, love...with my heart, without any judgments, enragements, prejudices, without any human boundaries as we know them, but with unconditional love for all that is, only then can I start understanding spirituality.

By the way, I don’t have to preach all of the above stated in order to be considered as a spiritual person. I don’t need any confirmation from anybody to feel when I’m on the right path.

I just have to be who I really am!

To live and act that way, to let go and forgive, the mastery of this things is the key to spiritual enlightenment.

And this could be done so easily...just search deep in your heart and find the truth...the ultimate truth...whatever this truth is...as this is YOUR truth, your way, your path...to the oneness with the creator.

This is my understanding of spirituality, I highly respect yours.

from Spiralmind I consider myself a newbie to raising my spiritual awareness. Can someone explain to me the concept of being under personal/spiritual attack when trying to become more and more enlightened? What type of things are attacked? What are the methods, what can I expect?

who were you writing for ?

all the above responses were to the original question what is what spiralmind asked....

melleztky while i appreciate that you speak of forgiveness....how does that help the orginal question? that what we had been responding to.


forgiving is something most of us do automatically, however, we are carefull lest this occurance were to happen again. so you see.....all the responses above are answering the question of protecting oneself from being attacked spiritually.

People who attack spiritually are takers, and have no remorse or understanding sometimes that they are attacking.

I dont think any of the above answers were preaching, but sharing to answer a very important question.

in case you hadnt noticed this answer is for someone who has called them selves a newbie...

I would rather speak to anyone on any level who knew how simple it is, especially and only if - they knew right from wrong...
