A conversation I had about what spirituality is.

Created on 30 April 2010 Last Updated on 30 April 2010 currawong 1 Comment

[A] friend just told me the only things he’s concerned with are his job, sleep, and food.  Spiritual matters are not on the list for him, just like the rest of the people I know.

What I’d say to your friend is: Do you talk to people every day? Then you’re doing something which is spiritual.  Do you feel what you eat and how well you sleep affects your thinking, mood and ability to work? Then you’ve realised something spiritual.  Spirituality isn’t about fairy stories and up-in-the-clouds stuff, it’s about connecting everything together in your life to have it all working for you.  It’s certainly not about anything separate from your normal life, but quite the opposite: It is about everything in your life.

A bit like my friend who once said “I’m not religious.” Then went on to say “I believe we’re all connected somehow. Why can’t everyone just get along? I try my best to be good to everyone and all I expect is the same in return”

The conversation went on for a while. I started to talk to him about expectations. And how that alone, a lot of the times can cloud your thoughts.
