Monday’s Prompt: When have you felt most connected to your spiritual side?

There are days when I don’t feel hungry, so I don’t eat. There are nights when I don’t feel tired, so I don’t sleep. There are days when I would like to remain silent, so I don’t speak. There are days when I am overwhelmed with gratitude, so I shed some tears. You ask, when have I felt the most connected to my spiritual side? The answer is, right here and now, in this very time and space.

Journeying through space dreams of infinite lifetimes a soul awakens.

My journey has not been smooth, and I am still in transition, working on shedding some additional parts of myself that are hanging in limbo. My ego self that controlled my life for far too many years; by blocking my vision of the true essence of my being, my consciousness.

As I sit here and reflect, looking back through the years at the countless mistakes I made, I now understand that those were necessary experiences to teach me about the things that no longer serve me today.

I also understand that the majority of people (past and present) in our lives are here to teach us lessons. So, I am slowly revisiting past relationships, and mending those broken pieces. And most importantly, I have been extracting the various lessons.

I recently had an experience with a close family member, who showed me a level of selfishness that I could not comprehend. At the time, it hurt my spirit, it rocked my core, and I was a bit upset about it. But then, I had to remember that she’s at her level of consciousness, and all I can do is accept her for where she is in her journey. That experience taught me that I should aim to never be that selfish in my life going forward.

I have a long road to travel, the journey is never complete. However, I understand the path in which I must take. I wholeheartedly know that my way is being guided because I have never felt this level of conviction in my soul. Therefore, circling back to the question, this is the most connected I have ever been to my spiritual side.

Know Thyself, Heal Thyself.
