Stuck in the Spiritual Closet?

Your spiritual life and your "normal" life are not two different entities. 

Many of you are reluctant to "come out of the closet" because you will be judged for your beliefs and customs. 

You don't need to come out of the closet. The closet doesn't exist. Your spiritual beliefs can only create tension if  feel that they must.


So, why not feel something different. Instead of talking about your spiritual life, live it. Allow it to be a part of everything that you do. 

Better yet, put your heart in charge of your actions. 

This is not the same as "falling in love". You "fall" because you have no control, you are helpless against the strong feelings you have for another. You allow them to fill in your gaps as you fill theirs. 

Acting with your heart means asking yourself how you feel about your actions. It means getting in touch with the love you have within, and allowing that feeling to lead you. 

When you act from love you will never be wrong, you will not have to preach or pretend to be someone you are not. 

If your spirituality comes from a book, a building or a person, then it is useless. Spirituality comes from having a connection with Spirit. 

If your book, church building or minister helps you to get there, then continue on that path. Just know that others may follow a different path. Fortunately, there is only one destination, so you will all get there eventually. 

The map is inside you. ~Silas.
