As a Spiritual Being: Living It, Not Just Talking About It

I have always been action oriented. Put me in a room of idea people and I can sit still for about one hour. Then it's either "!!**!! or get off the pot!" (as they say)

I have been accused of steam rolling meetings and moving through agendas in record time. For me the proof of who I am is in what I do - not what I talk about doing.

Years ago when I was changing my life up, down, right, left and sideways the voice inside my head kept repeating, OK, What's next? If I needed to get rid of a belief...it was gone. If 'my style' of communicating needed improving I was on it. And any behavior that no longer was serving my new direction in life was history. This approach also worked in my outer life. I created new jobs, skills, relationships, organizations, homes and hobbies.

All of that worked until I decided to begin living as a spiritual being and cocreate my personal heaven. It took me awhile to learn being...and allowing the doing to come from the being.

Let me cut to the important points:

I am already a spiritual being and, therefore, already living a spiritual life. So the doing part was about awareness, acceptance, intention, observation, understanding and greater levels of opening. Hmmmmm. And I found out that the more I talked about it - the more I lied. Because living as a spiritual being is always in the now - and talking about living as a spiritual being takes me immediately out of the now.

If I may lie for a few more paragraphs.

So when that familiar voice piped up and said OK,What's next? I heard from somewhere inside,
Nothing.

When I felt that old familiar anxious urge to get something done I asked, What do I do?
I heard, Breathe.

And when I just knew that I needed to make something happen so the world would be a better place I found myself supported to, No. Let go.

I also discovered that all those really wonderful spiritual ideas and ideals that I had read in books didn't mean anything until I decided to check it out for myself and have my own experience. That's when the authentic, gut-level knowing of spiritual being began to reveal its secrets. This beingness was a palpable, living, doing/being experience of breathing in, breathing out waking, sleeping, eating, eliminating, blinking, sneezing, stretching, smiling, frowning, loving, laughing human experience.

How ordinary, I thought.

Yes, and how divine.

We're a spiritual being having a human experience. Let's Get on With it!

Why Now?
Our human experience is shifting. Old traditional structures and institutions are crumbling. Our consumptive lifestyle is running out of resources. The pop culture’s values, glitter and bling are less and less appealing.

Our human senses are waking up. We hear with different ears. The superficial lies and posturing of our world leaders comes through loud and clear. We see through to the hidden agenda of corporations, political rhetoric and patriotic causes. It’s like sitting through a movie and predicting the end – we’ve seen this same script many times before. We’re bored and time for a change.

But what is causing this shift of perception? Is it really just since recent disasters in this country: 9/11, Hurricane Katrina or globally the Indonesian Tsunami that so many people are acknowledging that something is going on? And what is the difference we sense, witness and feel stirring deep inside?

If we study the evolution of consciousness on the planet rather than wars, we realize that the next obvious step is usually expressed philosophically, spiritually, or socially long before we wake up and honor the dead guys. Pierre Theilhard de Chardin wrote in the first half of the 20th century, “We are not human beings have a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience” I believe the truth and reality of ‘what that is’ is just now dawning for many.

Dawning happens gradually.
Different aspects are illumined as the heart and mind move beyond the familiar way of perceiving and expand ‘down the rabbit hole’. We can sense something new before we can articulate it; contemplate it before we own it; have a new awareness before we become it. The form is usually the slowest to catch up with what we have already seen and perceived. To hold steady during the transition from essence to form requires steadfastness, endurance and courage.

If we are to lead the formation of new business, social and spiritual models impeccably, and not continue to follow old dead end paradigms helplessly, attention must begin inside – to access true empowerment, clear and focused attention and soulful intention.

It is not enough to change horses in mid stream. The water is toxic. It is fear-based creating separation, alienation, power struggles, lack, and hierarchical belief systems. We must claim and exercise the spiritual mantel that is our divine birthright – a cocreative partner with the divine forces of the universe. Then the flow of life creates abundance sustaining us all to do well, live well and love well.


We are powerful cocreators.
Learning how to cocreate responsibly and in alignment with our Soul, rather than our ego, takes patience, practice, higher levels of cooperation and grace. The way to shift into the divine cocreation playing field is to become a spiritual scientist.

The New Age Spiritual Directory defines spiritual science as: The evolution of high consciousness as it relates to the human being, to the Universe, and all creation, as taught by the ageless wisdom, esoteric studies, and theosophy.

In my work, I define a Spiritual Scientist as one who observed through the eyes of the soul how to work masterfully with the human reactive nature, apply the learning to their life and cocreate heaven on earth.

When you learn self-mastery, you no longer need self-help.
Many self-help approaches give good, practical advice for solving problems. Solving problems doesn't always resolve the deeper issue. Like constantly putting out fires, you can tire of the old drill because problems continue to pop up.

Self-mastery is the ability to recognize and be successful at choosing a loving point of view. When your choices come from knowing the goodness of who you are rather than wanting the pain to stop you create lasting peace of mind, joy, happiness, fulfillment and abundant loving. This new point of view shifts the way you view any problem that may appear. It's another opportunity to grow in compassion. It’s an expansive gift of on-going awakening. It reveals the truth that lies beyond the veil of unknowing.

Self-Mastery also opens the door to cocreating with your Divine Self - the wise, impersonal, unconditionally loving partner that knows exactly what you can do to discover and live life differently!
