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.

Want a New Life? Try One On!

You are so good at deciding what you want. You look at the world around you and say, "I'll take some of that!".  Sometimes you get it. Unfortunately, it doesn't always fit.

If you looked in a magazine and decided you wanted an expensive item of clothing, You would probably not buy it without trying on something similar.

You might go to a discount store and find an item in that style to see how it looks on you; how it feels and moves. You might find out that the fit isn't quite right, the lines are not flattering, or that you just don't like how it looks on you.

If you don't like it, you choose another style and go through the same process until you find a garment that is perfectly "you".

In the same way, you manifest the life you want.

What would it feel like to have unlimited funds? Go to a store and look at all of the things you could buy. What would it feel like to take them home?

What would it feel like to be a performer? Work at it. Practice daily. Does it bring you joy or is it too much work?

What would it feel like to be an author? Write! Daily. Constantly. Don't leave the house without pen and paper, for if you wrote for a living, you would not want to miss a single idea.

Find a way to experience what you want on a small scale. Then, you can design a life that will be satisfying, amazing and fun.

And it will always be a perfect fit. ~Silas

Remember that you are powerful beyond your grandest imaginings. The greatest creation you have manifested in your lifetime is the veil you have placed over your eyes. You did this so that you could learn by working, playing and creating.

As you are a brave, courageous soul, you did not want to cheat and come into this life with an unfair advantage over others, so you hid your greatness, even from yourself. 

The more you learn and grow, the less you need this veil. You will begin to see through it and start to remember.

You have learned much. It's okay to remember. It's not cheating. We promise you. ~Silas

Storms

When you feel overwhelmed and all around you is chaos. Relax and know that you are standing in the storm.
The storm will always pass. The grass will be greener, flowers will be brighter, all around will be cleaner for having been in the rain, including you. Then look for the rainbow. It will always follow. ~Silas

Move the Body to Quiet the Mind; Quiet the Body to Move the Mind

Some days you find yourself completely overwhelmed. Your mind is racing but thoughts are coming too quickly to make use of them and worries and fears are creeping in to add to the stress. 

When your mind is racing and needs to quiet down, move your body. Take a walk, dance, pace, exercise or just stand up and stretch. You must use your mind to decide what your body will do. Focusing on the task of the movement will automatically quiet the mind.

When you are stuck and cannot figure out how to move forward, it is time to quiet the body. Sit in a chair, on a pillow, or lie down. Breathe deeply, and let your mind wander. 

You can ask a question or request a direction. Then let go and see what happens. 

You may get a direct answer, or just feel calm enough to proceed. The answer you seek may come later, but it will always come if you ask and listen for an answer.

Before you seek outside help, consult the wise counselor within. If you seek answers with an open heart and mind, you will always get the help you need, personalized, just for you. ~Silas
