Spiritual Distractions

Recently, during some down time and inner reflection, I realized the importance of getting back to basics in regards to spiritual practice and life in general. It is very easy to get caught up in the latest practice, new programme, or distraction to what is really spiritually true and important.

There are many forms of spiritual distractions – the practices that externalise our focus. The practices that don’t self-empower and bring us all to a more conscious and truthful life. Practices applied based on the judgment or the desire for improvement, or the need to get somewhere else rather than where you already are.

Any practice that doesn’t encourage allowance – the state of non-resistance and non-judgment, is really a distraction from your truth.

It’s indeed a great pity that more people dont persue allowance in daily life. When we do we live more authentically. Nothing is needed, nor action to be applied to experience what is divinely right for you.

It only requires less distraction and judgment of wrong or lack. When we consider the possibility that life is unfolding perfectly and there is no flaws or lack, we will all cease the action of fixing or improving. When this occurs, truth of one’s divine experience is allowed to be directly experienced. 

If we all spend more time experiencing what is in the moment unfolding then looking externally for change, we would experience our very own bliss.

How conscious are you really of what is happening right now?  

Do you feel your whole body?

Do you hear all the sounds of life that are happening right now in your close proximity?

Do you feel the life within you?

Are you aware of your resistances?

Are you aware of the depth of your breath?

If you are not aware of what is happening right know without making judgment of it (detached observation of life) – you are living unconsciously. You are living in a repressed unaware state, depriving yourself of your divine light. You are actively avoiding the potential to experience your true state of love. In so doing you are not honouring who you are – a divine fragment of God.

Take time out to just “be” without judgment or blame. To just allow yourself to observe the moment and relax into whatever you feel without the desire to resist, or to make change.  Be thankful for this moment of divine perfection unfolding. Be with your experience, whatever it is. There are no wrong experiences – experience just is.

Know that whatever you become aware of is the exact experience your soul wants. Know all experiences serve to expand your soul’s vibration and consciousness. There is no wrong in divine plan, only non-truthful perception of it, which drives all negative emotion. 

When truth is percieved, joy is experienced. When we see lack or fear, judgment of wrong is made, then we enter resistance, which only leads to more unhappiness.

Your life is never ever wrong and if you allow yourself to experience it without judgment, resistance, or control, you will experience your truth – the light and love of your diviness.

I recorded a little talk on resitance, control and attachement a few years ago you might like to listen to. Honestly, I cannot remember what is actually on it, but I am sure you will find it helpful. I usually sell these recordings, but please accept it as a gift. Link to MP3 file of talk is here – https://www.hightail.com/download/elNKQndJeDNnYU5sQXNUQw

 Lots of love to you
