“Examine what is said, not who speaks.”  —Arabian Proverb

Happy Holidays! Definitely the best time of the year to think about ... (cont'd)

(cont'd) ... being spiritual. I've only captured a portion of Ms. Paul's message. I hope you take an opportunity to read the entire article, to understand her idea.

Peace. :)

What Does it Mean to be Spiritual?

People often confuse spirituality with religion. People can be both religious and spiritual, but it is also possible to be religious without being spiritual, or to be spiritual without being religious. Discover the difference in this article.
   By Margaret Paul
Being a spiritual person is synonymous with being a person whose highest priority is to be loving to oneself and others. A spiritual person cares about people, animals, and the planet. A spiritual person knows that we are all one, and consciously attempts to honor this oneness. A spiritual person is a kind person.
My experience of God is that God is the energy of Love that created us and sustains us. In my experience, "God is Spirit" (John 4:24) and "God is love" (1 John 4:16). Anything that is not of love, peace, joy, truth and kindness is not of God. Praying to God does not mean that you are allowing the spirit that is God - the love, peace, joy, truth and kindness that is God - to guide your thoughts and actions. Practicing yoga or meditating does not mean that you have invited the love that is God into your heart, or that you are turning to that ever-present love to learn about what is in your highest good, and the highest good of others and the planet.
