Life is meant to be an adventure …

Life  , no matter what it entails, IS meant to be an adventure ….we come , most of us , out of our mothers wombs & in a certain amount of time our body no longer functions & we go through the portal of Death !
With this as our unavoidable destiny, how can everything that happens after we are born not be an adventure? From birth, I was  destined to have an amazing ride. A wild ride 

The truth is that death is coming closer with each day that I am alive & I am taking my  strides into a new , spiritual adventure. 
I take more time to enjoy my heart beating, & my body breathing.I appreciate every sensation, feeling, thought & desire that passes through my body.
Perhaps the only reason I was failing at seeing the  ever-present beauty & feeling the appreciation or enjoying the spiritual adventure was because I was forgetting ,at times , that  I am a spiritual being….& I too am here for a very short time. 

Desires of the world often become more important than enjoying this precious Now – this very moment in life   time . I hop in & out of living in the future & the past, yet too rarely surrender to the Now …..
Returning now to the core spiritual truth of what & who I am
I am a spiritual being who is temporarily borrowing this physical human body. I am the observer and thus am separate from the physical forms.
My father’s death has made me stop & ponder what it means to BE this spiritual being………spiritual energy ….a moment of absolute harmony when a window opens and I  can see the whole sky. When there are no more confines within the walls of my  body  & a lightening happens and all darkness disappears ….

I haven’t spent years in deep contemplation & meditation  but I’ve come to the understanding that spiritual essence is not energy as I know it. It is beyond matter, substance, feeling & thought. I know that the spiritual realm exists, & is a real world (like this one) yet it exists beyond the 3rd dimension of this physical world. The spiritual realm exists in the 5 th dimension ……..& it is behind everything that I know to be time or space, and is precursor to all forms of consciousness. It is like the wall that supports the blackboard which is the great Universal canvas of where I experience all of my life.

My father , who helped form  my boundaries & perceptions was a scientist ,an analytical chemist & scientists cannot see or explain the Spiritual “ stuff”  There are no instruments to measure, find or detect this energy. Spirit is beyond form & matter & exists out of the realms of everything that the mind can fathom. So if there is nothing to scientifically prove that the spiritual world is real, how can I be sure of its existence …..How can I know that anything I believe is true?
I haven’t done a lot of spiritual research but I think there is quite an overwhelming amount of evidence that our experience of life continues after the body is dead. …..There are thousands of people who have died and came back to share their Near Death Experiences , so there is considerable proof that consciousness and memory goes on after death.

The greatest spiritual masters have all said that , “I don’t live in the body, the body lives in me.” What this really means is that they know that who they really are is something bigger than the body. Their true essence cannot be contained by the body. They understand that this physical body is an amazing sacred vehicle that gives them this temporary human experience of life.
I accept this truth & I return to a Reality that I am connected to an infinite eternal source & I see that what we are does not die when the body is gone. Realising that the “I” cannot die means I can choose to stop taking everything of this 3D world soooo ridiculously seriously & start enjoying the spiritual ride that I am on.

I am willing to unlearn everything that I believed was true……& in order to become lighter & grow .I need to let go of everything limiting. 
My mind is full of limitations, beliefs, rules, morals, and rigid social belief systems. All of these have to be renounced as lies that block me from my  spiritual truth 
I am  truly willing to let everything go & I know  something miraculous will happen 
I cannot lie to the Universe. The Universe knows if I am  holding on by a thread of fear or whether I have  100% surrendered to Trust . 
When I live with 100% trust  everything I do will become a spiritual adventure ….learning how to experience an amazing spiritual life within the ordinary life i already have. 
It’s not about getting rid of all my  possessions and moving to an ashram in India! 
I am going to turn my  life into the real spiritual adventure it was meant to be ….the one I probably , subconsciously , was trying to avoid  because it could bring about a tremendous transformation & change everything about who/what I think am 
I am going to welcome every feeling, thought, emotion, and experience  & Allow myself to experience whatever experiences I have been avoiding. 
I am going to Embrace who & what I believed I could not  face & explore every negative experience as if it was the winning Lottery Ticket given by the Divine Universe. 

There is a reason ,after all , why the beautiful lotus flower blossoms only when its roots are deep in the mud
