SPIRITUAL LIVING

NOTICE for the subscribers of SPIRITUAL MESSAGE According to the heart-based spirituality, or meditation, the only way to truly remain spiritual is to retire to a desolate place, far from civilization, where there is no provocation. Contemplative spirituality, however, differs considerably from this point of view. Spirituality is based on intellectual awakening. It is not a passive experience. By understanding the Creation Plan of God, and by developing clear thinking and the ability to re-examine any situation, we can convert negative influences and experiences into positive ones. We can take spiritual lessons from material experiences. This is the best formula for character building; it will give us great strength, promote all that is good, and destroy all that is evil.
