The Journey
|
Everyone is on a journey. A journey from one place to another, seeking out spiritual significance. Wherever you are in this process, you've come to the right place to explore spirituality, for we are spiritual beings. Through this section we will explore the need to have stability in spiritual matters, how to move forward in a clear direction, and explore what helps solidify the choice to be even more aware of your spiritual side. Everyone is on the journey, and no matter where you are, it's time to secure what is relevant for you.
Matt Matt* and I worked together for five years. He did his thing, and I did mine. Uniquely, he was my replacement whenever I was away, so we knew a little of what each other did. Basically, we had a healthy working relationship based on common work values. Both of us strove to perform well in our positions and we had been in them so long, no one could ever really learn all of what we did (nor did anyone want to!). Matt grew up in a small town as an only child. His parents never placed an emphasis on spiritual matters, but they did set a moral example to follow. Matt took these principles and made them his own when he left home, resembling what's considered to be a "good guy." His basic governing principles included a filtered vocabulary and abstaining from alcohol. These principles could not be explained however, he just acted in a manner which seemed right. Oddly, when spiritual matters did arise, his curiosity peaked only enough to the point where logic would override. "I can't understand why you place any emphasis on spirituality," he'd say. He just wasn't receptive to spiritual matters because he was good anyway and he didn't see the purpose. This could be where you're at. You may be generally a good person who doesn't see spirituality as a priority. Perhaps you've been changed by a recent crisis, or spiritiual matters just seem more interesting lately. This section is designed with you in mind as well. Read it through to see if pursuing a path of spiritual awareness can help you in everyday life challenges and give you purpose and meaning greater than you might have thought possible. *Not his real name.
