Spiritual Growth on Steroids: Fill Yourself with Love

Spirituality information that really hits the nail on the head involves the concept of unconditional love. If you are seeking spiritual growth then you will begin to immerse yourself in this concept.

Because we live in a world of physicality we are often concerned with our exterior world but when it comes to understanding your true nature you begin the process of going within where your true essence resides. You find out what is inside of you and then use that knowledge to create meaning to the experiences of your life.

“What is inside of me? What aspects of myself do I bring forth when I am confronted with life situations?” I know that as a former sleepwalker I was pretty much in lockstep with a society that told me that if somebody squeezes me I should get angry, get confrontational and be fearful while all this is happening. I had been conditioned very well.

Here is the question I posed to myself, “What if I was so full of love, that no matter what people did to me and no matter what life threw at me, all that would come out of me is love?” Then I started saying love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love. It is really cool. I can picture myself driving down a country road and there are cows out in the pasture and I am giving them all my love, and there are giant trees on the other side of the road and I am giving them all my love, and the sky is clear and beautiful and I am giving the sky all my love, and it is such an empowering experience that I make a vow to myself to institute this concept into my reality.

I continually work on this process of filling myself with love because, as you will find, everything in life is a process. So now, when I am confronted with antagonistic or threatening situations, what comes out of me is love. From this foundation of love I am able to make more conscious choices about what I choose to create as these life situations unfold.

Did you see what I just wrote? I said, “…what I choose to create…” not, “…what I choose to react with…” Sleepwalkers react to what's happening. I choose to create what's happening. And what I choose to create depends on where I am going in any particular moment in time. I have a vision of where I choose to be and then I move toward that vision.

I have a vision of what I believe serves me. I created this vision consciously. I live this vision in every present moment of now and by doing so the vision is fulfilled. We are all powerful creators and we are all creating with every thought that goes through our heads. Thoughts become things, so it is critical that you be clear on what you are thinking about.
Once again, if you are, in fact, being what serves you, then you will automatically be doing what serves you. And why is that? All together now, because beingness creates doingness.

You see, this is the main difference between people who are consciously living their lives and people who are living their lives unconsciously.

If you are living consciously you become aware of your beingness. As you become more aware, you begin to understand that you are more than just your body with a brain. Some people are so unconscious that they have become one-dimensional. They think of themselves as just a body. They have stopped using their brain as a cognitive tool and are totally unaware of the spiritual side of their beingness. This is not a judgment, it is merely an observation.

If you ask them about spirit, they may reply that they don't go to church. Well, so what! What does church have to do with being spiritual? Nothing.

Some of our most profound spiritual experiences are often found while walking in nature or looking at the stars at night or watching your cat play with yarn. You don't need a formal building fitted with religious trappings to connect to your source and enjoy the natural consequence of that connection. Sitting quietly in a room and allowing the silence of space to envelope you is a much more effective way to communicate with your source than to have a choir singing the praises of the lord and a preacher telling you their perspective on heaven and hell.

That is not to say that churches and religions don't have their place in their ability to help us gain insight on spiritual principals and concepts. Religion is one way to make connection with your source, but it is not the only way. Every person occupying this planet has their own way of walking their individual path that will eventually bring them to the realization that they are one with the source of all that is.

The absolute sure-fire way of connecting to your source is to fill yourself with love so that no matter what confronts you in life what will come out of you is love. Trust me on this one.
