A Spiritual Journey In Progress...

I guess the title, A Spiritual Journey In Progress...implies that this will be an attempt to try to explain the unexplainable...to some extent...Because for so many, our spiritual side remains dormant, an unknowingly untapped, beyond-our-belief, phenomenon...that mystifies us, to no end...

For so many years, for so many reasons, throughout history, our SPIRITUAL side, within the human dimension...is a mysterious...almost impossible realm, to access successfully, even though it can both inspire and control our shining destiny in so many ways...

After all...How can we not help ourselves, of realizing our full potential...???...When we follow what we truly, truly believe in...Stop and think about that...for a second or two...

Especially, nowadays...You cannot explain attaining such a level of enlightenment, within our soul...without sounding rather bizarre...trying to extend your awareness of a higher power, of a higher conscienceness, of establishing the possibilities that maybe, just maybe, your true calling in life, reaches beyond a common, plausible, mortal existence....

I can only hope, that there is the possibility, that everyone, can, become persuaded to, at least, try to look beyond the fact, that it may seem silly, to admit such things...

That there is a spiritual buzz, somewhere deep inside, you, inside all of us, just trying to leap out, searching for some common truths, some basic elements, some basic yearnings, that can propel our understanding...of our place, here on Earth...and beyond...

It does sound rather unbelievable...to extend your mind...to reach out, for something, that you do not even know...exists...right there...somewhere, just waiting for you to explore...It's almost like telling people you are going to be seeing ghostly ghosts, hazy apparitions, spooky spirits, something totally other-wordly...that frightens, and distorts, our security of common sense...

How can you not, find all this rather insideously stupid, I know there are no ghosts, there is no boogie man, no Santa Claus, no Tooth Fairy, no, Loch Ness Monster, no Bermuda Triangle, and certainly no, no, no Bigfoot...just no friggin' way...

Why do you push such an odd, and implausable theory, of a force, way beyond our comprehension...onto us...???...Don't you know any better...???...Please, my good man, end this poisonous charade of warped, dubious dreams, wrapped up in a blanket of blinding, paralyzing, notions, that guides us towards a beguiling quest...that is truly, truly, ill-conceived...

Enough....!!!...already...!!!

Let's face it...It's kind of amusing, how the media today, also, can portray, those, caught up, in some misguided, bubbling-over, ferver, of completely whacked-out, in-their-own-zone, of spiritual craziness...

It's often carried to hilarious extremes, showing people, sometimes even finding spiritual value, in a piece of burnt toast, that they think, they see, the face of the Virgin Mary, emanating, there within a pattern of burnt, crusty bread and a swab of butter...

It is utterly, shamelessly, totally ridiculous, and in a way, destroys our capability, of throwing caution to the wind, of stepping out, out of the norm, breaking free, aiming higher than high, trying to achieve, some intuitive, spiritual process...

But I'm here, today, trying, to steer you away, from that silly, silly side, and actually, trying to apply some basic, common sense instincts, some order of decency, some relatively simple, understandable concept, that it's not a subject matter, to sweep under the rug, and stomp, up & down on, while holding your breath...until it all goes away...

Surely, we a have some extreme apprehensions, of exposing this side of ourselves...and with very good reason...

Yet there are so many vast resources, within our society's existence, that tells us, it is just our common nature, to want to try to understand, the impossible...What's impossible to others, can be found, by us...

Really, so many of our great inventions, come out of convoluted concepts, that defy reason...Doesn't everyone, at some point in time, just find themselves, staring inside their microwave oven, wondering how this bizarre, little contraption, heats things up, in some magically, slight of hand, way...

After all, our great-great grandparents would just cringe that a glass & steel box, in which you press a few numbers, within seconds, renders a complete meal, instantly, ready to consume, at your deliciously, disposable leisure...

Alas, this happens to all of us, so, so, many times...Whether we are holding up our cell phones, trying to comprehend the science, that enables us, to communicate, great distances...with this tiny piece of shiny, shiny metal...

Or even, turning on our HDTV's and watching such a crystal clear image, that we can almost incredibly feel, through our field of vision, completely captivated, as if we can reach out, and clutch amazingly, onto someone...

To a simpler extent, you can easily delve into the mysteries of nature's exquisite beauty, of nature's ever-flourishing, vivid colors, of nature's ever-so-lovely, crystaline sounds...just by stepping out into a barren wilderness and letting it all sink in...This has happened to all of us, at some point...

The mere fact, that the sun and the moon and the rain and the stars just capture us, sometimes, in dazzling array, playing joyfully out before our wild, wide, impressionable eyes, rendering us into a blissful state, that is simply, just hard to explain, let alone comprehend...

Nature, after all, has some sort of unique spiritual tones, that are undeniably there...We can generate a tremendous focus towards these elements, and let them consume our thoughts...Just enhancing our abilities, to feel there is some kind of universal order, for which we all, hope to grasp onto...and remarkably embrace and relish wholeheartedly...

Our spiritual side, absolutely, does come into play, when we do question, the expansive world around us...How such vast creations of both man and nature co-exist in a place in time, that is, both happening, immediately, in the present, while also being somebody's future...down the road...

You can also, easily, view it as somebody's past, as well, to some reasonable varying degree...Really, there is an endless amount of revelations, you can apply, to what truly engulfs our fascinating, mind-blowing, senses...

And then there is...oh yes...GOD...Not that there is one God better than another, or some power being greater than any other power...Just our undeniable FAITH...in a spiritual realm, to worship, to rely upon, a greater fundamental spirit, that transcends, the human condition...

A fundamental notion that we are capable, to gather in groups, or even alone...and apply a certain, meaningful, unique, spiritual aspect, a certain set of spiritual values, that may be incomprehensible to others, but is our saving grace, for grounding us, with some re-assuring spiritual morals...

And maybe, that is something too scary, for us all, to take in...For there are such extreme religions, that invoke a harsh and cruel reality upon others. How can you not be turned off by someone, caught up in a spiritual ferver, who lights themselves, on fire, or causes them to walk into a peaceful gathering and detonate a bomb, with the full intent to kill...

Oh sure, by God...we cannot allow such horrendous spiritual oddities...to flourish and take hold...expanding further and further and further, carrying out, a calculated, ferocious, evil agenda, that really makes us...wonder if spiritualism is equally, potentially dangerous, as it is equally, ever so, sumptuously gratifying...Where do we turn...???

I say...Who knows...???...Who really, really, honestly knows...???

I do acknowledge that this, is truly, one of the things, we all have to deal with, when choosing our paths, towards a spiritual dimension...Does it have negative implications, does it stand for something other than peace and enlightenment, does it carry a measure of doubt, that we will never be able, to fully comprehend...

Our very timely existence, seems to stem, sometimes, from facing up to negative fanaticism, that rages in some people's hearts...out to destroy...others lives...in every conceivable way...How do we come to terms with all this...???...It is one of the bewildering mysteries, of humanity, that remains, relatively shocking, and utterly un-thinkable...

So, I do fully understand, that we all, more or less, are caught up in a moral dilemma, by choosing one spiritual path over others, sometimes...How do we look past, this obvious flaw, of major proportions...???

I, for one, am truly baffled on how to justify, one move over another...All I can do is shed some light on this vastly complex set of issues, which, maybe now, will allow you to seek the path, that enriches our understanding of attaining a peaceful awareness.

The peace that gives a great deal of inner joy and inner peace, that spreads a light, out upon a world, which always is in a deep need of nurturing...because...that's the way to go...

Surely, a better sense of better values, which we can hold within our hearts, with our head held high, fully knowing that we can achieve, a spiritual level, that can honestly serve ourselves, well inside, while cultivating a generous amount of goodwill, towards the great openness.

An openness that bestows upon us, so many wonderful mysteries, so many wonderful gifts, and so many anxiously endless opportunities, in a resounding, neverending, splendid glory...

In conclusion, I guess that is what I honestly, hope you can attain...for whichever spiritual journey...you choose...with a knowledge and understanding...that SPIRITUALISM...can take you places, that only you can enjoy, empowering your soul...with an undeniable essence...of realizing our place in the universe and beyond, forever and ever, and ever...

It's our rock, solid strength...it's our resolute faith...it's our uplifting hopes...it's our overwhelming passion...and it's our purely powerful love...It's our Spiritualism...and it's all yours...my friend, and if you can't take a stab at it...you're missing out on something...that can carry you even further, than any other form, of imaginable guidance...

Infusing your ever-burning spirit, on the inside, while simultaneously projecting, a sensually persuasive, reflective spirit, outward, with a stunning brilliance, that truly cannot ever be denied...

Go boldly...setting a course, into motion, without a single doubt, whatsoever. Just simply, step back. Slowly open your curious, ever-flowing mind, and slowly open up your super-sized senses, to what unassumingly, perpetually surrounds you...and let the endless wonders, of nature & tranquility, take its time...

Helping you along...as you try to take your own...special, never-to-late-to-start, spiritual, spiritual journey...
