So,

What is being spiritual?

When you go deep inside your body and you feel the weight of life and you feel tired and you let go,

Something inside you turns off.

But then,

Something also opens up because the mind chatter is gone.

You begin to connect with something beyond yourself,

Something beyond your body.

But yet,

You connect with that something within your body as well.

You feel a connection to something outside of you that also flows within you.

This is the beginning of connecting with and noticing Spirit.

So what is Spirit?

Spirit is the life force in all things inside of you and outside of you.

It's the thread of consciousness that connects us all.

It's the intelligence,

The energy that flows through everything and creates life from its awareness and intelligence.

So when people say,

I want to connect with Spirit,

They have not yet realized that Spirit is always within them too.

Spirit is not something to find or seek.

It is always right there in front of you,

Outside of you,

Inside of you,

Within you,

And alive in everything around you,

The plants,

The animals,

Other people,

Even inanimate objects.

When you connect with Spirit,

It's like having a sense of being connected to a greater mind,

To a greater knowing.

It's like having an understanding,

A connection,

And an unspoken truth and awareness with whatever it is that you're observing,

Whether it be your inner self,

A dog,

A tree,

The ocean,

Or your partner.

When you recognize and notice the Spirit in everything around you,

Then you can truly begin to understand what Spirit is.

So this topic was the hardest one for me to try and define and shape into words because Spirit is formless,

Yet it can create form.

It's the consciousness of the dark,

Empty,

Void,

Womb space that creates with its spark of light and intelligence.

But even still,

Spirit itself is unexplainable at best.

It's something that is beyond our mind's comprehension to try and understand its vastness,

Greatness,

Wisdom and its ability to create and shift and change the world around us.

And once you realize that you are that Spirit too,

Then you'll begin to experience and exhibit that unexplainable ability to create and shift the world around you and feel connected to everything.

Spirit is elusive to the logical mind.

It's not meant to be figured out or dissected or understood.

It simply is.

It causes you to stop,

Observe,

To witness and receive,

To absorb the depth and the breadth of its grandeur,

To notice its quiet,

Still and powerful presence.

So when you say you want to become more spiritual and connect with Spirit,

You're going to need to turn off your logical mind and open up to the unknown,

The formless,

The unpredictable,

The unexplainable and receive the greater intelligence.

What that collective intelligence has in store for you,

Which is nothing,

Because it's no thing.

It's just simple peace,

Stillness,

Presence and deep,

Deep love.

Thank you again for listening and I wish you many blessings.

And may you live a life filled with oneness and connection today.
