Maintaining
Spiritual Consciousness
by Blanca
Greenberg
Have you ever awaken feeling wonderfully
inspired, totally rejuvenated and ready to take on the world—when
suddenly—an unexpected comment, an offbeat remark or someone's negative
mood completely changes your demeanor?
Frankly, we have all experienced a sudden
change in disposition; a shift in energy, especially when we are engaging
in interaction with others. The good news for those who choose to practice
spiritual consciousness is that outside influences rarely seem to affect
them—and when they do, they are able to quickly regain focus—focus on
the reality that they have the ability to stay lovingly detached from
external influences.
Yes. As difficult as it may sound, we do
have the ability to separate ourselves for the unconscious world—and, we
can do so with love—when we are in tune with the spirit within. But
before we proceed any further, let us define what creates an unconscious
world.
The unconscious world is composed of the
collective mass of society; the aspect of society that chooses to be
unaware of it's divine identity—the true aspect of our being, our divine
spirit.
The spiritually unconscious are the
individuals who travel through life believing they are victims—believing
they have no control over the circumstances of their lives. Individuals
who choose to live unconsciously, fail to recognize the powers that are
part of a divine component of their makeup: The divine powers to create
and re-create their lives.
Angry and resentful at the world for their
misfortune, these individuals seek refuge from their pain in the comfort
of others. Sadly, in their inability to recognize their true essence, they
unconsciously invade the space of others who are striving to remove
themselves from the illusions of the physical world by developing
spiritual awareness.
And, who are these individuals that call
themselves spiritually conscious? These individuals are human beings just
like you and I, your neighbor down the street, the postal worker, the
cashier at the grocery store and, you ask, what makes them unique? What
makes these individuals unique is that they have allowed themselves to
remember that they are creative divine beings! They have removed
themselves from the external noise of the world and entered the
blissfulness of inner-searching and spiritual awareness.
How can you learn how to become spiritually
conscious? You can begin by lovingly detaching yourself from the external
influences of others and begin to rely on your spirit to be the only
guiding force in your life. You can begin this process by learning how to
listen to the inner-voice of spirit that resides within you. You can hear
the inner-voice of spirit when you silence the outside world and practice
quiet contemplation and/or meditation.
Are you tired of all the external noise?
Are you tired of waking up invigorated only to have your mood influenced
by the outside world? Then always remember to lovingly detach yourself
from the negative influences of others and remember to concentrate on your
internal rhythm of life. It is the voice of spirit who inspires you to
awaken in a blessed mood. Make sure to stay in tune and you will be living
spiritually conscious in an unconscious world.
