Awakening SpirituallyAwakening Spiritually isn't a "new age" phenomena...not that there is anything wrong with new age...my point is that folks of all faiths, religions, cultures all over the world are learning to embrace this awakening... This means people begin to experience spirit personally... Awakening Spiritually: Major life Event or decisionThe pattern of awakening spiritually sometimes begins with an a major event in life that makes you re-think a major area or decision.For my wife and I, this happened some years ago when we decided after many years of trying to have children...that neither one of us authentically wanted to have children! We had gone to great lengths to try to have children, then while doing a diagnostic procedure on the road towards in vitro fertilization, my wife experienced some serious pain... ...the doctor commented that this this level of pain was small compared to that of child birth... This little event really made us want to check our commitment to the process. If turned out that we didn't really want children, but were following the path set out to us by our parents and the world...get married have kids... When we realized we didn't want kids...it opened a door in my mind and in my soul...it was a question... ...what else am I doing, because I think "I should"... This started me on a spiritual journey of questioning everything I think and do and it continues today. Awakening Spiritually: - Seeking TruthI started seeking spiritual truths online, in books, DVDs, live teachers...I found many helpful teachers and pointers along the way... This phase lasted about 2 years for me... The gist is what I call "the message"... "the message" is the the whole truth of the universe...smacking me in the head and my whole being... Then I spend the next 2-3 years dealing what the hell "the message" meant...I can't fit it all in my head at once...it's simple and big all at once...the best summary, which won't make much sense to anyone until you start your own journey is... "Nothing real can be threatened, nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God." -- A Course in Miracles See...told you it doesn't make sense... If you want to understand that...take this web site as your wake call and start asking your own questions about what you do and think! I am working on a book, where I write about "the message" as best as I can...stay tuned...I plan to make a free version that is a digest and a longer version that will cost a little bit of money...not sure how much yet...
