Essential Steps to Spiritual Enlightenment
The body is made up of more than just the
physical self; there is also the spiritual; self. As a matter of fact, the
spiritual self is the more important of the two. This is basically because it
consists of the soul and all its elements that aid in the general growth of the
entire body. Each and every individual is on his or her spiritual journey and
the progress can only be defined by their degree of spiritual enlightenment.
Spiritual enlightenment also known as spiritual quotient brings about this
growth and development in the spiritual self. On the other hand, it also brings
about self awareness.
However, there is one major problem that
affects the spiritual side of an individual. This is the strong cohesion to
self also known as lack of detachment to one’s inner self. In other words, this
is what many know as loving self. It is good to love yourself but too much of
it might hinder your spiritual growth. Frances Vaughan, the renowned spiritual
author, said that one of the main marks of spiritually enlightened individual
is that he or he relates to those around them in that they care for them;
whether plants, human beings or animals. This is one of the main
characteristics of true spirituality.
In order to achieve this, there are
certain steps that one should take. Step one involves getting in touch with
your inner self. Many people make a mistake of ignoring this step since they do
not understand it. To many, it sounds like a cliché. What this means is that your
physical body should be able to connect with the inner you. As a matter of
fact, you are just but a spiritual being living in a physical body. Therefore,
it is necessary for this link to exist.
The
second step is for you to set your mind in a relaxed state. This is o essential
if the body is to co-ordinate with the mind and soul. For spiritual awareness
to occur, the brain has to play its part. This is not possible if you keep
stressing the brain with multiple thoughts at ago. Give it some breathing space.
Ultimately,
get rid of all the doubtful thoughts that might be bothering you. It is said
that doubt is the only force that can drive you away from spiritual
intelligence. It is normal for the conscious brain to be full of doubts but it
is vital that you do your level best to clear them or spiritual intelligence
will just be a dream for you.
