SHARING SOME THOUGHTS FROM GARY ZUKAV, AS WELL AS SOME PERSONAL THOUGHTS ON SPIRITUALITY

Firstly, what do we understand by the 'airey-fairey' term "spiritual"?
The spiritual is another dimension from "everyday living" we can enter into. You are then "in the zone" (as sports -people call this state). It's like a "highly developed sense of consciousness, like being guided by intuition , the "still small voice within", which leads to a heightened awareness.

We are all connected, "brothers and sisters in the human family ". We are one with God, the Source from which everything flows. (If the word "God" doesn't feel right with you, please substitute higher power, Great Designer of the Universe, universal spirit, higher consciousness, great wisdom or whatever concept/language works for you (or means to you). Incidentally, I use the terms "Ultimate Source", or "Ground of All Being"; as that is my clearest and simplest understanding of this complex concept.

Energy will flow where your attention goes; so I totally focus on my writings.
A bit "obsessive" (sorry Marie and my boys!). With my writings and in my life with my 'middle years of maturity", I've learnt not to focus so much on results/outcomes; but rather INTENTION. Not on my mind (and logic or 'intellect'), but do what's on my heart with my inner spirit to guide me...
for Divine Intelligence, or God's will to be revealed.

"Trust yourself, trust your God, trust the process."

You can tell what you intended by what you experienced in the past. We create intention with our choices. Your intention always affects outcome. Eg. results based on fear, a desire to impress others. You draw it into your life. It comes from the heart. What is your potential? What do you want to GIVE to the world?Then give to everyone. The soul grows, as your purpose on earth is being fulfilled. In your INTENTIONS and ACTIONS allow for a higher good, to come through...for my higher good and the higher good for all.

*
Have an attitude of gratitude for what you DO have. Feel and LIVE abundantly.
Live the life you DESERVE. Walk in the direction you want to go, as energy flows easiest with the right actions. You will move in the direction of your most dominant thoughts (because that is where your energy will flow). But we do have to take action - ACT on our "inspirations" (don't wait to be "inspired") and be totally COMMITTED. Feel good about yourself and your uniqueness. You are loving, worthy and compassionate. You are a soul on this earth with gifts to give, to share with the world. In your life you are creating and God is with you (more than a 'mere observer', I feel. Think differently... then you create differently.
To bring in the new, often we have to let go of the old first.
Provide value and service to the world. How can I best serve people?

Then every person can find full freedom for themselves - the richest gift of freedom of SPIRIT.

The way to find happiness and peace lies in helping other people carry their heavy packs, whatever they are. Each one of us is offered (As Jesus invited us) a life of abundance and enduring peace amidst the clamours and confusions of this world.

Let go, let God, let Good; then watch what happens, what miracles unfold with God's Infinite Grace.

Your highest joy and prosperity is not achieved by getting everything you desire. True joy comes from allowing God's infinite spirit to inspire and express through you. Prosperity (feeling it) and happiness is experienced through simply 'letting go'. Doing this brings to light a understanding (deep) of our inseperable relationship to God, the Ultimate Source, the Ground of all Being, which leads to health, security, true peace of mind and the highest joy. #

Be happy
