Do Spiritual People Argue?

DO SPIRITUAL PEOPLE ARGUE?

Do you believe you are on a spiritual path, but feel challenged by conflicts in one or more relationships in your life? Does it seem that even tho you meditate and pray regularly and read all sorts of spiritual growth books, you still do not feel peace in many of your personal interactions?

Are you, in effect, traveling on a Spiritual By-Pass?

Are you by- passing the issues of your own personal growth, and not taking responsibility for your words, thoughts, actions and, most especially, your emotions?

It does not matter how many higher realm masters you study nor how much time you devote to spiritually aligned practices if you do not look first into your own heart, find the wounds there and begin to heal them.

Only by being in awareness of and releasing your old stories, your victim self, and your strong reactive feelings can you truly align with the serenity of a spiritual life.

Only by setting your intention to forgive yourself and others for any past and present pains can you open up to the divine freedom of more blissful connections.

And only by recognizing that all who cross your path are your teachers, will you begin to stop blaming and start to see every conflict as a lesson to embrace.

If someone hurts you or betrays you or neglects you..the first questions to always ask are: Is this true...or is this only my perception? Is this reality or my old wounds speaking? And what is my ego part in creating this discord?

The old story or stories of how someone hurt you in the past have no place in the NOW.. The you that enjoys feeling self pity or low self worth is NOT the higher you that seeks fulfillment.

The strong anger or grief that emerges from a difficult interaction is seeking release from an outdated time.

As the spiritual warrior, strong emotions may be present, but with awareness they can pass through you. You do not attach to them, You do not allow them to create your reality.

As a spiritual being you are in human form to learn, grow and emerge from the cocoon of Ego.

As a human being you may still occasionally argue, but as a spiritual being in awareness of your reactive emotions your conflicts and your residual pain will diminish. Take leave of the Spiritual By- Pass, renew your journey into your heart and gain the joy of more loving relationships.
