Being Spiritual Is a Lot Like Becoming a Child Again
Your most beautiful aspects are reborn
A colleague asked me what I was doing after work. My answer was simple.
“I have a ritual tonight.”
It took her a few seconds to realize what I had said, then went on to ask what I meant by that.
I told her it was a New Moon tonight.
I don’t shy from telling people things I do that others would find weird. I’m comfortable and satisfied with myself enough not to care.
I’ve been doing Moon rituals for the past 2 years and have never missed a cycle.
If you would like to know why and how I do it, let me know in the comments and I’ll write an article about it.
The next day the same colleague asked me how my ritual was. Another joined the conversation and bombarded me with questions.
She thought for a minute and said: “I don’t practice anything spiritual. I used to do this when I was a child, I would play music and sing songs to the Moon.”
That’s when it clicked. Being spiritual is a lot like being a child again.
You become curious
When you find your inner self, you start accepting how little you know. That’s one of the first signs of pursuing higher intellect, which we call wisdom.
You burn with a curiosity resembling that of a child in a classroom. Your brain turns into a sponge again. It seeks answers, has new ideas and digs out information to find knowledge.
You begin to experiment with habits and hobbies you never used to. Some are earthing while others are etheric.
You read about people becoming interested in growing their food. Astral travelling, understanding their dreams, connecting to multidimensional beings.
That brings me to my next point.
You use your imagination
A mental universe means that everything springs from the mind before it materializes.
We see this throughout our inventions.
Someone thought about electricity before it became part of our daily lives.
Steve Jobs imagined a smartphone before Apple made one. Elon Musk dreamed of going to space long before SpaceX ever existed. Einstein saw his theory of relativity in a dream. Tesla had a vision of wireless energy.
The list goes on and on, but you get the point.
All material existence comes from the imagination of one or several individuals. That leads you to believe in the non-physical nature of everything.
You can see the unseen
The non-physical world is limitless and for the most part, unexplored.
It requires a certain level of creativity and faith.
Faith, not in a religious sense per se, but faith in nature, in all that’s around us. True faith demands courage.
Courage to hold on to a belief nobody else shares. In recent years, people have been going on and on about manifesting their desires with thoughts and positive thinking.
Not that I deny it works, but desires need control before you are open to receiving. If your faith is not powerful, you will weak, no amount of positive thinking will change the outcome of your life.
It’s important to have hopes and dreams but those won’t be handed to you from a being sitting in the clouds.
You still have to do the work.
You’re full of hopes and dreams
No dream is too big for the human mind.
If someone told you that 100 years ago, today we would be using the internet to communicate from across the globe. You would have ridiculed them.
If I tell you today, in a few decades we will be living in space, some people will agree and some won’t. But if I told you that in 100 years we’ll be able to travel faster than the speed of light, well, we’re back to ridiculing.
No one can be certain of what we can and cannot achieve unless we try. At the same time, we shouldn’t take life too seriously.
Earth is a school, a phase that is a minuscule part of our infinite journey through space.
You find laughter and joy in simple things
Enjoy the food, spend time with people you love, spend time with yourself and appreciate who you’ve grown to be.
We live worrying about what was and what could be that we forget what is. The present moment is already gone when you think about it. It’s so small that we take it for granted.
But all the beauty and joy are in the smallest acts of kindness.
Like cooking a meal for your partner, or dropping a few coins for the old man playing the violin in the underground.
These are the acts that connect us to our humanity. The ones we do out of humility and love, not greed and envy.
You find love
I saved the best for last.
Love is not what we see in movies.
It’s not always even shared between people. You can love an animal more than you love someone.
You can love a flower that has blossomed from your constant care since it was a seed. You can be in love with a stranger because of the energy they radiate. Love is not some romantic road that ends with marriage and a family, at least not always.
It’s the power that lies at the centre of all creation.
The highest form of love is and always will be the love of the self. Accepting you who you are, what everyone and everything is.
“The smallest detail can benefit the strengthening of character. Do not say that small details are not important; only a person with high morals can see their importance. Some of the most religious people in Russia have an interesting habit: they make a low bow to persons to whom they are introduced for the first time. They say they do this to acknowledge the divine spirit that every person has within himself. This is not a widespread tradition, but its foundations are very deep.” — Leo Tolstoy
