Today we enter into part three of this series the length of which I have no idea at this point as to how many or how long.
There is beginning to stir within me to make this into a book, well, we'll see. Anyway for part three here we go.
Living in Spirit is not really hard although it is far from easy.
As in all things it begins with a thought then a decision to do it and then doing it.
Gee, talk about simplifying something to its bare essentials.
Anyway living in Spirit is actually learning to live in your mind while still living in the world or as scripture says being in the world but not of the world.
It is a mental exercise which only happens with a disciplined mind. So we must learn to have a disciplined mind which begins with a decision to do it.
Then the next step is meditation or learning how to meditate.
Personally I do not believe there are any wrong ways to do it there is only our way or your way.
First get comfortable anyway you can your favorite recliner or whatever although it is a good idea if possible to have one area of your home that is your meditation area where you will not be disturbed. This is so that when you enter this area your mind becomes trained to enter a state of relaxation automatically when your intention is meditation.
Turn off all cell phones, land lines or what ever and if you wish some very relaxing soothing music. Turn off the lights and if you have one put on a sleep mask which is not required I just find it helps beginners to focus on why they are there.
Then take a deep breath through your nostrils ( nose for us rednecks) hold it for about ten seconds then release it through your mouth audibly for about twice as long as it took to take it in.
Then repeat several times as you allow yourself to gently close your eyes and begin to drift into a sweet gently space of silence and just begin to watch you thoughts and then to gently begin to release them into the silence and just drift as we allow ourselves to be taken into the realm of the silence.
After several times (varies person to person depending on your level of belief, only a small child or mentally challenged individuals will have difficulty as the higher your intelligence the easier it is) of doing this one day will come when your inner being will make itself known to you.
This world within goes by may names which do not matter the only thing to realize is that what ever we accomplish here will eventually manifest on the outside in our 'real world'.
What I have manifested today is that I love you and Believe in YOU
Blessings and happy holidays
