Spiritual Seekers

Filed under: John Morgan's Blog — John Morgan @ 8:35 am

It usually takes a trauma for most people to seek the spiritual realm. The burning desire isn’t there for people who are getting their needs met in the temporal world. When that world comes unglued, a posse is formed to find the satisfaction that escaped.

The first step is usually a misstep – searching in all the wrong places. We look for satisfaction by adding more things to ourselves. We focus more intently on the conditioned needs of our ego. We become more superficial until we recognize that isn’t working either.

There is an uneasiness that seems to be directing our actions towards something that we can’t consciously explain. It’s an unexplainable feeling that nudges us to discover who we are behind the mask of the form our imbuing spirit has animated.

The search isn’t for satisfaction; it’s for spirituality. That’s the goal of the inward nudge. It’s not to get you more of what the world has to offer, but to give the world more of you – the real you – the light that shines through your human form.

The amazing side benefit of finding your spiritual nature is more satisfaction with life. Your focus shifts from the desires of the ego, the conditioned you, that lead to more wanting, to a perspective of trust. The trust is that what you truly need will show up at the appropriate time.

Does one truly need a shiny, expensive new this or that? If you answered “yes,” your posse is on a long lunch break. This is not an anti-consumerism message. The desired shiny new doodad isn’t evil; it just won’t deliver long-term satisfaction. If you purchase something for its beauty and functionality, there is no ego involved. The minute you determine that it will add to your image of who you think you are, you have taken steps away from spirituality and back into the world of unquenched satisfaction.

Pushing spirituality on anyone will never work. Living a spiritual life provides an example that others will automatically be drawn towards. It seems most of us have to traverse a rocky road to get to a spiritual path. Once you find this path, pay attention to the step you are on in the moment and it magically leads you to the next step. There is no 5 year plan needed.

Trusting your spiritual nature is truly dancing with the will of God.

All the best,

John
