“Nothing resists firm inward maintenance of the Rock-Centre-Truth that lies so still, native to us all, waiting and waiting bold, silent utterance.” - unknown
There is a Divine Spark at the center of each one of us and life is about being in integrity with that Divine Spark…. Well, my life is about being in integrity with that Divine Spark. I am sober, a yogi, committed to my spiritual practice all in order to dedicate myself to this Divine Spark and it’s Unification and Revelation in this world. What I have come to realize is that as much of Spirituality is a deep re-membering and it often feels like we are almost instantly “home…” there is also a deep practice that takes on a lifetime journey of realizing and embodying Spiritual Principle on different and varying levels. It is so true that the further I have gone on this journey, the less I know. Sobriety and the 12 steps of AA and other programs are fabulous because they mechanically place you into action based spirituality. For me though it is so important to explore far beyond what has become a platitude of spirituality for many program peep’s. I’m not saying there is anything wrong with those who have found the program to be enough but I am saying that for me, there is so much more out there to be discovered about my spiritual nature. Sobriety is the crucial crux and the foundational base level of it all. It is first and foremost the priority and the foundation or leaping off point for the rest of it. Admittedly, I have slacked some on my meeting attendance lately. I am in a familiar place of allowing the gifts of AA to take me away from the program, as they say. I am busy being prosperous, creative and adventurous and as my sponsor so lovingly reminded me the other day, this is a slippery slope and I need to remember how it is absolutely vital that sobriety come first. Anyhow, built upon the foundation of sobriety, my life is dedicated to the cultivation and revelation of the Divine Spark within me. My life is about courting the Presence within and learning to speak and reveal the language of the heart. It is about the fullest spiritual expression possible. This is why I am sober today. This is why I am a yogi today. This is why I meditate and read my favorite mystical authors daily so that I may become so fully present in the now that the spontaneous movement of Spirit finds it’s fullness in and as the unleashed expression of creativity as my life. My life is my tapestry as is yours. We can’t all be painters or writers or sculptors but we are all, by our very nature, creative souls. When the Divine Spark is revealed authentically then we are creative… we are living out the meaning of what we came to be. For this, I am eternally grateful. Love Out.
