What spirituality does to the mind?

For me it is like, put me into reality and out of the ego messages of negativity and fear. I am now fearless. I meditate for my inner guidance and direction and found advice and the television not to be good sources of information. I learned trust myself and my gut and found better results in my life. I found the love within and have self love and self-esteem today. It brought me into a higher consciousness where I see beyond the bad and into the good. It is all good.

Love never fails. Make it more lucid. Make it more creative. Sharpen it. Calm it. Daily meditation improves all aspects of life: physical and mental health, interpersonal relations, creativity, and peace of mind. Regular meditation leads to Enlightenment, the goal of life. The mind is a monkey, it keeps jumping from thought to thought. Spirituality can make the monkey into a monk. It can quieten the mind, it can give us peace of mind. The mind doesn't sit quietly. it produces up to fifty thousand thoughts a day.'

Imagine the stress and worry it creates. Spirituality becomes conscious of the mind, it watches the mind, it is about becoming the Spirit, the Soul or Atman. When we live with spiritual consciousness, then the mind is under control. The mind doesn't create fear, worry, stress, anxiety. It remains like a silent monk. Therefore, spirituality can make our life a life of peace. There is an underlining misconception about the word “spirit” The early Catholic church called it by a Latin name which translates into the word “Breath”

The dictionary definition of the words Spirit, Mind, and Soul are arbitrary using two terms to describe any one of the three. The spirit and mankind exist like a candle. We have the flame fed by the air, the wick or the spine and the wax or physical body. The candle is the perfect symbol for the human being. Take away the air the flame goes out. It is actually the air that facilitates the spirit in physical life. The question arises as to where the spirit goes once the flame is out, meaning the termination of our life. It can not travel from point A to point B because this is physical space. The spirit is not part of space or time once it leaves us. Time is our life. Space is the third dimension in which we live.

We live in the spirit like a fish lives in water. Spirit being omnipresent it goes nowhere. Where can it go? The mind is understood through the brain and what we see around us is a result of collective consciousness in concrete form. The material world or natural world provides the building blocks for the creative mind. That is what mind does. It creates both abstract ideas and physicality. The mind is all there is and we can only be conscious of this when alive. There are levels of consciousness or awareness and unconsciousness or lack of awareness of the passage of time.

Some people has this idea that God is conscious or aware. Is a seed of a plant aware it is a cabbage? If this was the case why wouldn’t it decide one day to be a carrot? This is illogical, because there is an organizing intelligence behind reality. If this wasn’t the case there would be chaos, not balance. God is balance. When mankind is balanced he becomes aware of God, not a personal deity. Spirituality arise from God fearing, god pleasing or being true to one's conscious. In any case, it means living a good life, i.e honesty, humanity, truthful and a sincere life. All these good qualities (spirituality) give a fulfillment and peace to the mind; give the satisfaction of doing your best to not to disturb others right; not to bring harm to anyone.

Spirituality means to have control over your behavior or thoughts of worldly wealth and stay away from unethical, immoral and inhumanity activities which spoil the life of one's own as good as of others. Which spirituality can do for the human mind ? By popular beliefs, spirituality still in the domain of Creation , means astral-energy world of human night dreams, afterlife and heavens… which accepts any human diminished ego-minds… where so called Buddhist spiritual way , calls for annihilation of human ego-mind… to choose from

People in the contemporary world want freedom to experience spirituality in their own pace, in the doze that their soul is ready for. Adhering to religious authorities or submitting to religious power structures are not very attractive to the modern person. It’s a great development in my opinion. But the move towards spirituality is not without its flaws, for even the world of spirituality has its hierarchy in the inner plains. Right now, its a bit free-for-all, the blind teaching the blind and both are running around in circles not finding enlightenment. Because when you find a true spiritual master (“sheikh”, “guru”) who has authority in the unseen spiritual world to teach, your heart will be drawn to that teacher and you’ll want to follow him and learn from him!
