THE PURPOSE OF SPIRITUALITY
As many more people started to turn within to explore deep, existential questions like “Why am I here?” and “What is the purpose of my life?” their search for answers very often would lead to researching the spirituality angle.
It’s not because spirituality is the only tool to help you understand such questions, but it’s definitely something that will show you new perspectives. And looking at our existence from a different view is exactly what helps us understand who we really are.
Spiritual development shifts the way you look at life
Just imagine if you had been using your smartphone for a year when one day someone shows you a feature that you never knew about. A silly example perhaps, but it perfectly expresses how our own development journey goes. If you live your life the same way, don’t expect to experience much improvement.
If you don’t open yourself up to new perspectives, you’ll remain the same person you were 10 years ago.
Change is scary for many of you, I know. I’m one of those “lucky” ones who thrive on change. In fact, routine is what makes me scared. But I’m fully aware that not everyone functions this way and most people prefer to have stability and certainty in their lives. Both ways are perfectly fine.
You need to do what feels right for you, however, if you want to develop your mindset and behaviour, you need to balance things out. In my case, I would introduce some routines in my life to keep my focus. In case you’re scared of changes, then you’d need to shake things up every once in a while. Do you see where I’m going with this?
But let’s go back to the title of this post for a bit. What is the purpose of spirituality? Why am I talking about changes and perspectives? Well, it’s very simple: these two questions go very much hand in hand.
Spiritual development changes you
When you start looking at your life from a different angle with the help of sacred teachings, mindfulness methods or esoteric practices, you experience a transformation within you. Something moves.
Blocked energies, belief systems, perspectives. Your essence shifts as your consciousness gradually elevates.
By now, you’ve definitely heard the expression: raising the collective consciousness. The way this elevation can happen is through change. When things are put into motion, energy accelerates. When your own inner development has some traction, guess what that creates? Energy. Physics and spiritual development have a lot in common when you shift your perspective.
You are already a part of the collective shift
Whether you like it or not, you are a fraction of the collective consciousness. What you do with that role is up to you. Do you dim down your energy to just float through this experience or do you turn up your brightness to illuminate the collective even more?
This is the beauty of this game called: human life. You have the power to make your decisions and each of those decisions will lead you down a different path. While I personally believe that we have a higher purpose to fulfil, ultimately we are able to choose certain paths and navigate through them.
So, what path will YOU choose?
