That is the age-old question, where do I start? Should I start at Christianity or Buddhism? How about Islam? Is this right for me? And, do I believe in a higher power. All of these questions and other questions you think up should all be answered. Take my experience as an example. Approximately 7 years ago I had an argument with another driver at a toll booth. To be honest, I was the instigator. I remember the guy showing me his gun (I live in a right to carry state) and I said I have my left and right as guns. I turned around got into my car smiled at the toll booth attendant and drove off.
I stopped at a convenience store and bought a 32 oz “champagne of beers.” I got home and started my routine of unwinding and a thought crossed my mind, why am I so angry? I started to cry because at the time I did not know that I was angry, ashamed, embarrassed at myself. But I did know that I was getting tired of being angry, feeling ashamed, and embarrassed. All of these emotions flooded my drunk self. I literally yelled I’m tired of this shit. Since that incident happened some 7 years ago, I am in a better state and ready to share with the world the best journey one would ever take. This journey is a spiritual one and will last your entire life span so get ready for a lifelong war.
There are days that you will not be experiencing negatives. Then there is that split second in time where back-to-back-to-back negative moments happen. You see what I have learned is that “we are not born to be humble. We are born to be humbled.” I heard this quote from Iron Mike Tyson that basically sums up what you will be going through. Do not be frightened or worried. The age that we are in or about to go in is the age of Aquarius. The age of Pisces is history. This new age has been written by man throughout time. Take pride in the fact that this journey of self will be the hardest road ever traveled. In the end, you will be closer to father and that is the ultimate goal of a spiritual journey.
Okay now, since I got that out of the way let’s start out by taking a slow breath in followed by a slow breath out. Look up to the ceiling or sky and spread your arms wide as if you are going to hug someone. Imagine your heart sending out love to all and you saying father I love you. Once this is complete, your next step or attempt is to not think negatively. Your goal is to go from the moment you wake up to the moment you go to sleep, not letting events & memories affect you negatively. You ask how is this even possible? With practice anything is possible. I am not going to lie to you, this is hard but practice makes perfect.
I have changed my way of viewing the world. I will tell you that there have been days I lose the battle but the war always continues. You see in order to grow spiritually, you have to learn lessons. And these lessons are painful ones. But let’s not focus on that and focus on the fact that from this day forward, you are being reborn again. Think of yourself as a butterfly. You have to go from thinking micro to thinking macro. Your spiritual mind can be compared to a 5-year-old. Not knowing life but curious about it. In the next coming articles, we will dive deeper into knowledge. This knowledge is vast and never-ending. So prepare yourself for a lifetime of learning and traveling.
