Simple.
Start acting like the awakened spiritual being you’d like to be.
It doesn’t matter whether you take Jesus, Buddha, Mary, Mohammed or
Mother Theresa as your role model. When
we align our intentions with our actions we always get what we want.
It’s called the law of cause and effect and it never fails.
Despite the mythology surrounding the subject, there’s no need to
recite mysterious incantations or dedicate years to endless supplication
and self-denial. Reading
spiritual books and attending workshops with self-proclaimed spiritual
experts might help to keep you inspired, but they’re not going to help
you deal with real life events in the moment.
The only person perfectly suited to helping you get where you want
to go is you. The only way to get enlightened is to act enlightened.
Don’t
know how an enlightened person would act?
Well, would s/he:
- Stress
over the stock market?
- Fear
death?
- Ignore
the killing of innocent civilians as revenge for terrorist attacks?
- Act
like a big spiritual know-it-all and tell people what to do?
- Cut
people off on the highway?
- Refuse
to forgive?
- Take
everything that happens personally?
- Blame
your parents for your bad luck?
God
helps those who help themselves. Don’t
worry about being perfect. It’s
better to mess up a million times a day and to keep trying than to spend
your whole life dreaming about heaven without ever leaving your room.
Ask and you shall receive. Seek
and you shall find. Amen.
