What is Enlightenment?
As we walk the spiritual path, we cannot avoid but wonder what enlightenment really is.
Twenty Benefits of Spiritual Growth
There are many benefits of growing and evolving spiritually, and listed here are twenty of them which could also form a checklist to help us monitor our spiritual health:
Karmic Lessons & Repayment
If we have been particularly unkind to the sick or needy, we could very well come back as one in a subsequent incarnation.
A Lotus Flower Through The Mud
Sticks and stones may break our bones but words and opinions cannot hurt us — unless we give them the power to.
The Name of The Earth Game
As we are out and about in the world interacting with others, we cannot avoid but encounter negative, discordant or jarring energies.
Divine Consciousness
It is a lot easier to see the divine in the positive than the negative, in the beautiful than the ugly, in those we love than those we do not.
An Openheartedness of Love-Light
Reputation is what people think we are. Persona is what we want people to think we are.
Energetic Hygiene
As our frequency rises, so will our sensitivity and potential for absorbing energy. Energetic hygiene is therefore indispensable if we are to enjoy our spiritual journey.
Freedom from Judgment
One common fear we have is the fear of judgment and criticism, and it is usually accompanied by a constant need for approval and acceptance from others.
(Mis)using Love to Hide Our Issues
While love is certainly a powerful tool for healing ourselves, it can at times also be misused and get in the very way of healing ourselves.
Triggers and Buttons
Once we can see that everything is just energy, just an illusion, we will no longer be as afraid of negative or painful emotions but will instead be able to feel more free and empowered to live, play, and enjoy life.
Heart-Centered or Chest-Centered
It’s a very thin line between our heart and chest but it makes a world of difference which one we choose to align with.
Primary Spiritual Task
In spirituality, we have only one primary task which is to accept and love ourselves, and then pretty much all those things that really matter spiritually will fall nicely into place.
Clearing and Healing Our Subconscious
Whenever we close and harden our heart to avoid feeling pain or discomfort, we retard our heart and limit its capacity to also feel other vibrations, such as joy and love, and especially intuition.
The Creator in All Things
I used to see inequality and inequity as being ugly, and needless to say, I ended up seeing ugliness everywhere because inequality and inequity exist everywhere.
