The Spiritual Perspective ll

I want to write a little more about the spiritual perspective, the topic of Spirit Cafe for today — what does that mean for me and those I know well who apply that lens?

It means that whatever happens, whatever thoughts fill your mind, whatever beliefs you hold, you can ask the question: What is true, or what is truth- in this moment?

I always feel things starting to shift then, into a wider perspective, and that leads to an easing of the emotion, or confusion or rigid corner i sense that I have backed into. The spiritual perspective is like a breath of fresh air: spacious, serene, life-giving. It moves me out of upset into calm waters. I can move forward.

Maybe you’ve had a heated exchange, a strong difference of opinion with someone you love, and you feel hurt and fear you have also hurt them. I settle into my feelings, which at first feel too hot and turbulent, then slowly gradually, applying the question, “What does my spirit have to offer in this moment?” Or if I’m not ready for that, then just: “Isn’t this interesting? I’m feeling upset. I wonder what is really going on?”

The spiritual perspective is based in harmony, based in spirit- which is the energy of love, connectedness and light (truth). Therefore, reaching for the perspective in our troubled moments, or just when we are puzzled and unsure of ourselves, leads to forward movement- we can get on with our lives, speak the words of peace and reconciliation which restore our connection with each other –and, vitally, with our selves, our spirits, our souls. I see spirit and soul a little differently, but that’s another topic for another day. For today, I just want to invite you to join our team of soul friends, all fascinated with spiritual stuff, for our first open, free and public conversation: Spirit Cafe! Today at 11 am Eastern Time EDT. Here’s the link:
