3 Tips About Spiritual Systems You Can t Afford To Miss

Much spiritual practice can be defined as being an attempt to reach as well as manage balance, on a worldly level, so that the spiritual consciousness might awaken and come forward. One of the characteristics of our physical body will be the continual effort to maintain a state of homeostasis and relative quiet. From a spiritual perspective this quiet or balance is necessary so that that the traveler may rise above the surface level and experience what is far below, within the quiet depths, ultimately using this awareness consciously in daily life.

In every day life what is essential, is a balance between our mental, physical, emotional and spiritual needs; to fully engage on earth, each bodily system necessary to express the many parts of our self. It is said, the entire system has to be operating as well as in balance- so that you can achieve full active living and a state of optimal health. In reality, this is among the requirements of the Teaching; that the spiritual traveler be an average, well balanced member of their community.

To accomplish this ordinary equilibrium, what are required are correct amounts of work, play, leisure and social engagement. We are multi-level beings, by having an assortment of needs, desires and ways to express our self; all of which has to be operating in unison to reach a full active life. And once this synchronicity of parts is achieved, as God/Light Wills, some thing else might come forward and begin to operate- the spiritual awareness.

So in reality, for the spiritual traveler, the very first step is to be an ordinary, balanced citizen who is integrated into their family and society- then the spiritual consciousness can more effortlessly be added. Most frequently, travelers go on a spiritual search, long before they have achieved worldly balance trying to find the missing piece. At this level, often the missing piece is simply an area of normal, healthy living: for example feeling important, having a social group, or expressing self on this planet. Hence their look for higher consciousness is doomed from the start, meditation because they are substituting one thing for another and settling for 'fool's gold.'

How is spiritual balance not the same as healthy, balanced living? Or is it different?

Usually once we are discussing spiritual balance, we have been discussing a systematic activation of the spiritual centers; usually this is done for a length of time, in sequence, and under the guidance or grace of a spiritual path. This balance is in addition to/or complimentary to balanced healthy living that most travelers are seeking through expressing self on this planet.

On the flip side, you have to not forget that things are spiritual, so, in a sense the effort toward balanced healthy living and homeostasis is also a spiritual quest.

Many seem to be on a spiritual quest, who externally don't appear to be balanced? In fact several of these spiritual travelers seem just a little odd. Please comment.

For some, this seems to be an accurate assessment. Many begin a spiritual search, searching for the missing piece, long before they may be grounded in their society and have achieved an overall balance expressing self in the world. They become attracted to a teaching since it will give them something which they lack (feeling important, expressing self, finding happiness, being with like minded people); rather than asking self, what they can offer the Teaching.
