Get Spiritual During Covid19
Spirituality = Prosperity. You’ll never be happy if you’re not spiritual. The coronavirus' mandatory social isolation is an opportunity to take an inventory of your spirituality!
Wealth is not monetary. Abundance is not material. A lot of people simply don't know that, because we live in a society that perpetuates the myth that "more is better". Bigger is better. More for less. Me-first.
But as humans, that is diametrically opposed to the principles of spirituality, in the way that we are created. We’re only 10% physical. We’re 50% emotional. We’re 40% mental. Spirituality is about manifesting the harmony of the 3 elements: 100%. You will never be spiritual until you are functioning at 100%. Not perfection. Just 100%.
The heart and mind are symbiotic and the true source of our physical experiences. The quality of a physical experience is an indication of a person’s mental and emotional conditions. How we feel when we are having physical experiences is the only thing that matters.
Peace, happiness, and joy are what help you not need an abundance of physical things, because you don't need to fill a hole in your soul. Knowing that your truly valuable emotional and mental qualities are what will create sufficient sustenance removes your fear and anxiety about survival. There's no need to worry.
Unselfishness is the fundamental principle--the basis--for spirituality. All theologies basically agree about that. The way we’re “built” is basically to give, not take. It always feels better to genuinely, generously create happiness in another person than to enjoy our own--alone.
Not hoarding money. Not accumulating possessions.
Be ready to completely let go and walk away from everything you currently possess and are presently saving. At any moment. It's only in that state of mind that you will be able to truly surrender. Surrender is the basis for generosity. Anxiety and stress about excess is actually selfishness. And survivalist. Vulnerability and surrender are the epitome of spirituality. And peace.
But The “Higher Power” element is the reason we can trust. So if you don't believe in a divine source of some kind, your ability to surrender is almost completely removed, because our personal physical power and tangible opportunities are limited in the physical world. It's easier to surrender when you trust that if you give to others, your NEEDS will be taken care of in a physical way, from something superior to the physical world.
But take an inventory. Ask yourself: “If I had no debt of any kind, and I was just given a job where made $200/hour, how many hours/week would I feel the urge to work?” Would you feel satisfied after 5 hours of income per week? Or, instead would you think, "So then, if I worked even more than I did now, I would have even more than I would have before! If I had more money, I could have even more money!" And think that's an "abundance" mentality?
Having money and things is not important to you if you are personally satisfied and peaceful. External things do not create internal abundance. Internal abundance cannot be taken away by external circumstances, like people. If you have genuine internal abundance, you will be able to say things like:
"I have trust in my relationships". (No amount of money can buy that. If people don't trust you, it's an indication of the quality of your ability to relate to them. Spending money on them will not make them trust you. Money will not buy those social skills for you, if you don't want to do the personal work.)
"I have enough quality relaxation and enjoyment time every day". (No amount of money can buy back what has already passed. If you keep putting off the opportunity to enjoy the company and companionship of the people who love you, you are going to die alone. Vacations to "recover" from your life are a small consolation for a life that you need to recover from.)
"I have the genuine respect of others". (No amount of money can compensate for the low esteem people hold you in. People are the key to happiness because we are created to be interactive. Relationships are the foundation for success in the form of personal happiness.)
Time is our most valuable commodity. It's worth more than money. Everyone starts out with the same amount of time. How we choose to spend it will determine how fulfilled and satisfied we feel all day, every day. That could even mean walking away from money to invest your time in making yourself a higher quality soul. Being of high quality, in small quantities, for people is the key to true happiness, because we are the healthiest (spiritually) when we do things in moderation. Not excess.
Are you ready to walk away from your money and things, because you trust that your positive qualities will create the situations and opportunities for them to reappear in your life? If not, take this time of social isolation to make yourself a higher quality soul.
