The first step in my growth was discovering and admitting that I did not have the one true understanding of spirituality.
I did not have to be in possession of the one true practice leading to an understanding of spirituality.
In fact, I needed to let go of the belief that I understood what it is to have an awareness of the spiritual.
I knew religion, that was it. I then understood many religions. Still, I did not get spirituality.
When I released my intellect, arrogance, ego, and all of my guilt and shame. When I was finally willing to allow the Divine Spirit to flow to me and through me.
I experienced time ending and I was everything and everyone at the same time.
I had a spiritual experience, and I felt Love and Loved.
I cried with joy.
May each of you allow yourself the gift of a spiritual experience.
You are Love and Loved.
