Of course you are! Whether or not you’ve heard this before or are hearing it for the first time – you are a spiritual being living a human experience.
You are an immortal, brilliant and loving soul trying to understand what it is like to live on this planet.
And why would you ever come here? Why would you want to get yourself tangled up in making a living, heartbreaking relationships, struggling day in and day out to make ends meet?
Because you are a seeker! Every soul wants to be more like the godliness that they see in the Creator of All That Is. Since many of the spiritual realms don’t offer such fantastic opportunities for learning as we have here on our planet, there is usually a waiting line to come here.
And you are one of the lucky ones! But do you consciously know that?
Here are some ways to tell if you are aware of yourself as a spiritual being:
• You have gotten beyond the ego mind and the materialism of many of our cultures. You can feel your spiritual essence and you know that YOU are not what you do or what you have.
• You are drawn to meditation and times of focused, inner stillness.
• You have moments of awareness in which the world seems to be brand new – as if you were seeing something in it that you never saw before.
• You sense a deeper spiritual essence in others no matter what they look like or how they act.
After you gain this awareness of yourself as a spiritual being, then you consciously seek ways to teach and grow your spiritual self. That’s what I call a spiritual seeker.
And what is a spiritual seeker looking for? Watch for Part II later this week.
