A spiritual event is what happens in every moment of every day of our lives. It is not only about the extraordinary things that happen in our lives that we cannot explain, but everyday things, like working watching TV, making love or going to the bathroom. It is not something that is veiled in mystery, ritual or mystic ceremonies. Being spiritual is being ordinary. Everything is spiritual we are spiritual beings. Therefore all that we do is spiritual.
An aura of confusion exists around spirituality and religion. Religion is an aspect of spirituality and is humanities attempt to explain spirituality.
The meaning of spirituality has been distorted to accommodate human fear of the unexplained. Man has not been lucid in his understanding of what spirituality is and his fragmented thoughts have gotten in the way of what he knows intuitively.
Religion is at best a frail attempt to pacify man's desire to have control over his environment so the reasoning of our ancestors is understandable. Corrections to a global thought process are actualizing into a new era of understanding. The doctrines of established religions are being replaced with a rebirth of awareness that was once ours intuitively long before religion became organized. The New Age of Wisdom has blossomed from the seeds of past generations of seekers that needed to know. Spirituality is now being viewed as a natural connection or relationship between man and his environment.
Humanity used to walk in spiritual enlightenment but he forgot his connection and moved away from it. This separation moved him to explore his environment and experience the physical world. The departure from source would not have been possible had man remembered who he was and where he came from. Memory loss gave way to a birth of physical exploration in a world that was hostile and untamed. Man began to paint his image on a three dimensional background of water, land and sky.
Mankind is emerging from a coma and is remembering the connection to his surroundings and the source that brought him here. He stands on a precipice of that which is an illusion and of that which he is. Once again he is being pushed to the next level in an endless discovery of self. Several times in history many have stood on the same ledge and have chosen not to go any further. The disparity in the natural evolution of man is apparent; it divides those that are ready and those that will remain.
It is a natural progression to move from that which is, to that which is not, and back to that which is. As the creator seeks to experience him/herself in all its magnificence it will do so by experiencing all that is not magnificent. As humanity explores all aspects of physical life he will be drawn back to the world of the absolute and total awareness. The pieces of the puzzle will form the whole; it will be complete once more.
Creative seekers of higher awareness have become increasingly restless and vocal over the last century and it has manifested itself in our art, music and literature, it is the calm before the storm. A silent urgency rushes through every cell of our bodies. The silent voices of thousands bring awareness to all who would listen, "you have waited long enough, and the time has come."
We are privileged to be physically present at this juncture in our evolution. Those that are not ready will bear witness to this transformation and will be fearful and confused by what is happening.
It is not a time of fear, but one of anticipation and celebration. Those who remain will once again forget their connection and start the process over again. Those that choose to move on will be re-united with others that left long ago. These raised spirits of family and friends will guide them into their next level of consciousness.
