The Power of Spirituality

[Guest guest]

Good Morning!

 

The Power of Spirituality

 

To recognize a power that is greater than our own is to recognize our

Spirituality.

 

We understand the mind/body relationship to be inspired by alignment

with one's Highest Spiritual Principle and by that awareness we can

choose Truth.

 

Spiritual health is often considered a condition marked by a

diminished sense of fear and the daily experience of unconditional

love, joy, gratitude, and a personal relationship with your God (1.)

(or an awareness of an inner source of infinite power and compassion.)

 

Religion can play a part in guiding us to the path of Spirituality.

BUT, religion is simply a bridge to Spirituality.  There are many

religions, but only one spiritual truth. This spiritual truth is the

journey home to your Self; and the understanding of your emotional

courage, truth, and honesty. What is important in life are the good

works of love that we do for others.

 

Spirituality means shining a light into the darkest corners of our

world and developing our capacity for compassion for those who are

suffering and working for justice for all. (2.)

 

Surrendering to our higher powers so that your Spirit can orchestrate

the infinite correlation of details that are necessary for the

manifestation of your desires. (3.)  

These are the benefits you'll receive when you surrender to a higher

power.

 

Spirituality can be found anywhere. You can experience it in a church

or temple, in the revel of nature, in a yoga, dance or exercise

class, in the darkest, most unlikely place. Spirituality is a state

of mind. It is an experience that brings you closer to the

realization of life's truths. It can be found when facing fear,

enjoying simplicity or contemplation.

 

Below you will find Spiritual Truths from all the World's religions.

You will find similar concepts throughout each of them, no matter how

varied in beliefs they may be.
