“We are not human beings on a spiritual journey.
We are spiritual beings on a human journey.”

~~~ Stephen R. Covey

Here in the southwestern part of Ohio, where I live, we’re experiencing some drought conditions. The lawns are a golden shade of brown — leaves are beginning to fall from the trees for lack of water — and, if they’re not kept watered, the flowers are beginning to lose their blossoms. Yet, in some parts of the country — and even around the world, there are places that are getting so much rain that it’s frightening. If this were a political journal, I’d probably choose to write about global warming and what’s being done about it.

However, this journal is about our inner self, peace, and spiritual balance.

I was looking at some emails this morning and came across the quote that I led with today by Steven Covey — (see above) — and it started my thought process along these lines.

I know that many of you are probably familiar with the idea that we are not human beings having spiritual experiences, but rather, we’re spiritual beings having a human experience. I know for me, when I think about that, I get a warm feeling inside. And when I take the time to truly delve into what that really means — when I take that concept and integrate it with how I see myself, it gives me a broader sense of what my spiritual self is here to accomplish.

Aren’t we all on a brave mission to discover what we’re supposed to learn as we grow here on earth?

When we realize that we are spiritual beings, we begin to understand that we’re merely visiting here in the physical realm. For those of us who do believe that we incarnate here on earth many times over — and when we understand the fact that we came here without any memory of what happened to us in the “before” — we may then begin to comprehend why it is an act of bravery to keep coming here.

“When you examine the lives of the most influential people who have ever walked among us, you discover one thread that winds through them all. They have been aligned first with their spiritual nature and only then with their physical selves.”

~~~ Albert Einstein

When we begin to question “why” we are here, we begin to realize that we need to quiet our minds and become more aware of the present where true knowledge exists. We’ll never discover our “reason for being here” if we stay caught up in the hubbub and noise of the past and the confusion and worry about the future. We need to get quiet — to bask in the peace of the present and learn to remember that we are spiritual beings with abundant wisdom. If we slow ourselves down and rest in the quiet knowledge of our true self, we can begin to tap into all that wisdom that rests within us — knowledge that we accumulated before we chose to enter into this lifetime.

If we become more aware of who we truly are, we’ll find new strength to endure the times when we become frustrated or overwhelmed with life. We’ll find that we have an abundant courage to help us with those difficult times. And most importantly, we’ll find that we can get in touch with the great wisdom within us by spending more time in quiet meditation where that wisdom can come through our intuition.

“Just as a candle cannot burn without fire,
men cannot live without a spiritual life.”

~~~ Buddha

Soon, our meditations will help us to realize that we’re here — in this physical realm — because we need to learn something that can only be learned while we’re in a physical being. It could be to learn about forgiveness — it could be to learn about love — it could be to learn about living peacefully — or — as is true for most of us — we’re here to learn a multitude of lessons.

What’s really interesting though, is that we don’t truly need to learn anything while we’re here. All we really have to do is remember — we already have the knowledge of the universe within us — all we have to do is slow down, meditate, get quiet, and remember.

“It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations”

~~~ Kahlil Gibran

“Only as high as I reach can I grow, only as far as I seek can I go, only as deep as I look can I see, only as much as I dream can I be.”

~~~ Karen Ravn

And, as I always say in closing — remember these words …

You are the most precious gift you can give yourself. Every day look in the mirror and say, “I’m available to more good than I have experienced, realized or imagined ever before in my life!” Do this every day while you look into your own eyes.

You are special — and you are loved. You are the greatest gift you can be.

Shanti … (A sanscrit word meaning, “Let there be Peace. Peace, beautiful Peace. Peace within, Peace without. Peace in this world. Peace for all beings.”)
