Discovering Spirituality: Discovering Spirituality

It possibly sounds like the outer worldly life that most people pursue holds little interest or value for you personally. Perhaps the monastic life is exactly right for you, and you are now at the point of your life where you are going through a process of choosing to let go of worldly attachments. On the other hand, be aware that the monastic life offers no escape from thinking — quite the opposite in fact. To find mere existence torturous for no obvious reason is unusual.

I wonder if something might have happened at age 4 to cause you to back out of life. Its like you took the words out of my mouth. For some reason, I think that I have a lot more to go even if it feels like Ive lived a thousand lives. I seem to have qualities of several:. Also, I do tend to fight presentational tendencies in my performances. I often experience periods of detachment from everyday life and depression like an old soul.

Most of my thoughts are focused on love and enhancing my skills as a performer. I was a mature kid, but sometimes I think my present demeanor is me simply trying to make up for lost time. As a child i was always quiet and always studying things, people have always said why are you so quite?

As a Scholar, it is natural to see life as an object to be studied. Other roles see life very differently. Warriors, for example, see it as a challenge to be confronted; Sages see it as a theatre stage for their wit and wisdom; Artisans see it as a canvas for their creativity.

But Scholars are naturally predisposed to watch, listen and learn, and maybe ask a few questions, which makes them seem pretty introverted — perhaps more than they really are. By way of contrast: Some people are Intellectually Centered — they process experiences by thinking and talking, always trying to articulate what each experience means. The thing with Emotional Centering is that experiences are processed inwardly, like a process of digestion. Does that resonate at all?

Well yes that does resonate quite a bit i do have a bit of a introvert personality i do spend most of my time inside and researching various topics,. In my search for why life, what purpose does a failed life serve to any one, i landed here. Thank you for this site. Thanks for this blog and rekindling my faith that answers to life are there. So, I gather that: You perceive yourself to have so far lived a failed, worthless and purposeless life.

It even sounds like every project you take on is doomed to failure? You perceive yourself as suffering for no reason, except possibly for reasons known only to God. You believe you fall well short of the ideal of perfect enlightenment or self-realisation satchitananda. I wonder if you are perhaps setting yourself a very high bar — something most ordinary mortals would struggle to leap over. In other words, setting yourself up for failure.

I have often noticed that those with Self-Deprecation as a chief feature would rather degrade themselves with negative judgements than do anything so vulgar as express pride in their positive qualities. I have been guilty of this myself. Probably only a handful in any given century.

Those who do are probably at the end of their reincarnational journeys, like Sri Ramana. Most of us, myself included, just trundle along each life in a sort of half-hoping, half-coping mindset, weighed down by issues and confusions, but occasionally rejoicing in our successes and awakenings and moments of love and joy. I get that you must have some prior and continuing? To give a little example: My whole childhood existence seemed meaningless. Years later, I began to consider the possibility that I myself might have planned to be born there, for some deliberate reason. Now, looking back, I can see that my choice of environment and childhood experiences gave me the impetus to grow into a very self-aware adult with a passion for imbuing life with meaning.

And so … Ta-daa! When we live a life of Growth, we tend to start out at the opposite end of the spectrum from where we mean to end up. We may be born into poverty, for example, to give us the motivation to become rich and successful as adults. We may be born into an abusive household to give us the compassion and understanding to become counsellors to victims of child abuse. It may be worth considering that your life is on some such trajectory — that your negative experiences so far are actually the rocket fuel that will eventually get you into some magnificent orbit.

You — the real you — are not your successes and failures. Behind all the life stories and experiences lies the real, innermost you — a perfect being, driven by your divine love of self and others to inhabit this human body for the duration of this life in order to expand your level of consciousness, and that of others. You have chosen this life precisely I suspect to experience and confront the issues you are now expressing.

This life is a perfect opportunity for you to see and then, if you so choose, to drop whatever it is in your psyche that judges you so terribly and holds you away from all the joy in the world that is your by divine right. I was talking to a friend the other day. Most involve non-human intelligence encouraging me to pursue something greater than the mundane. One particular dream was so real, so tangible, where I was climbing up a sheer rock face and the Buddha floated next to me and told me to let go. I started laughing, let go and flew away with him.

In another dream, I taught my son how to fly. In some other dreams, I was on other planets. They treated me like I was an honored guest. My friend said I was astral traveling. Who knows but it is really cool beans. Then by happenstance I came upon your site. More cool beans and very affirming.

I had a real rough childhood and instead of making me turn into a bad apple; it actually provided catharsis. Thanks a bunch for your work. Great stuff Brian, thanks. Hi there check out our UK dates here: I do think that I am either an artesian or scholarly soul, however, due to certain events in my life i will explain in email I tend to think I may be a baby soul…. Thanks for such a lovely website! Hi Chlo Really glad you like the site. But I will respond as this is my Life Task. I took a reiki class in and today 13 years later i came across a folder i kept and in it a note to check out the book the seven soal types.

Googled it and here i am on this site…. I love how things pop up when your ready for the knowlege…lesson…experience. I really enjoyed exploring the information on this site. I will ponder and analyze what i have read and dive back in soon for more! Thanks so much i appreciate all the insite. So far i am leaning toward my soal type: I always have a lot of ear , fear that someone may discover that I have that fear inside me.

Fear is a natural state of the body. Love and joy are natural for the soul essence or spirit. The conscious mind sits between the two, hardly aware of the amazing depths of love and joy that are available to conscious experience, but very, very aware of the presence of fear.

Fear is a sort of danger signal, warning the body that it is under threat and should do something about it. However, fear can become associated not just with real threats but with virtually anything. We can develop a fear of failure, for example, or of social humiliation, or of rejection and exclusion. Many fear death but many more fear living with regrets. The fear of exposure sounds like what you are describing. A lie we tell ourselves.

The fear fades whenever the lie is exposed. You are meant to be here because you have a unique way of being. Lose that fear and you will find the joy of being you. I am a little confused about my own status. I have always known that I am a soul that originated in the Otherworld Celtic theory and sent to this plane as a sort of bootcamp.

Life has been a horrid challenge so I am guessing I must have chosen myself a tough lesson. I was trying to identify myself from the soul types and have been unable to do so — partially due to being indecisive about my soul path and partially because I wonder if souls that are not in the running for human reincarnation.

One of the best experiences of my life. Nicholas EI participant Enlightenment Intensives are not for everybody. You contemplate your question but nothing seems to be there and you fear that you may be empty after all… On and on it goes, as ever deeper levels of personal truth are uncovered. You are drawn to seek greater depth, truth and meaning in life.

You would like to discover something within yourself that is absolute. You prefer to find things out for yourself. You want to discover the truth of who you are. You want to be more awake and more real. You want to live with greater authenticity and relate to others with more reality. Hi Eddie Thanks for sharing how it has been for you.

I seem to have qualities of several: I hope to have given you some food for thought! Pl inform your next indoors sessions in summer Great to hear from you! Or perhaps connect consciously for the first time? It is important to recognise that even if you have not yet had a conscious connection with your spirit or have not yet been aware of it, your spirit has always been there.

Your decision to make the reconnection is the first and vital step for developing this relationship.



And just like all relationships, the more energy and love you commit to it, the deeper the bond will become. So congratulations again on being willing to start or deepen this relationship. Sit with your focus on your heart space. Soften your mind, relax your body and hold a thought of something or someone that you love. This will begin to open your heart. When we have an open heart, we are more connected with all that is. For some people this will be the process of prayer and contemplation, for others this will be the process of meditation, and for others, it may be walking in a forest or dancing.

As you set time to consciously listen and open the channel of communication between yourself and spirit, clear the mind of your daily or repetitive thoughts, and be in a receptive state. Listening can involve listening for feelings, colors, shapes, voices, or simply a knowingness, an answer, or an insight. It is much more than just listening for words, so be open to receiving your answers in unexpected ways.

Ask and make a request that spirit make itself known in your life. The signs will start to appear in your world, whether that be through repetitive number sequences, a feather laying on the ground, a significant song playing at a timely moment, a coincidence or synchronicity. Be open to the little moments of magic and watch to see how your spirit shows up and plays along with your request.

Understanding your uniqueness and knowing who you are will support you along your spiritual journey. Living in line with your biology and its needs ensures that the path of communication is open and maintained, and the more aligned you are living with your body, the more your spirit can occupy your being. When your spirit is occupying your being, and your heart is open, the guidance is clear. Your decision making and your knowing of what is on your path becomes clearer and simplified, and incredible synchronicities, magic and delight can fill your days.

Clearing your mind to be able to receive guidance is another pivotal step in supporting your spiritual path. The mind acts like a filter to receive messages from spirit, and just like a tap, if the filter is dirty or blocked, the amount of flow would be restricted. Take your free Mind Reboot here. In essence, the healthier and clearer our body and mind are, the healthier and clearer our relationship with spirit becomes.

When we step out of the way and allow spirit to guide our life, it truly becomes more magical than you could ever imagine. There is a deep sense of relief in knowing that you are taken care of, that you are supported, and that you are guided.

Spiritual discovery: How you can better the world

You life path and purpose become more clear, and rather than feeling weighed down or burdened by life, it can be replaced with freedom, joy and relief. Life becomes a beautiful fun game to enjoy, rather than a journey to be endured. Congratulations once again on taking this step to reconnect with your spirit. I know your spirit is celebrating you and this opportunity to provide you with the support and guidance you have been seeking.
