You are here to experience your physical incarnation.
You are not here to reaching back to your true home, the spiritual world,
where your spirit/your soul travels to and from effortlessly.
You are to be present in this physical realm, trusting and knowing that you are from the spiritual world.
Deep inside of your inner being, you already possess the knowledge and road map of the spiritual world.
You just need to accept that truth

So often people exercise various methods to reaching back into the spiritual world..
This is same as a baby trying to go back into its mother's womb.

Not needed. Waste of time and energy.
Try to do something positive that makes difference in this physical world instead.
This physical world needs you.
The spiritual world does not need you to come back into it.
We all will go back there soon enough.

I do understand your point about learning the lessons that need to be absorbed and applied, with love and with wisdom.

For me that journey is anything but mundane, it's magnificent!

...part of which is receiving guidance along the way to use or just save for another day.

I thank you for both :smile:

I think all bonafide religions specify certain spiritual practices and code of life for attaining the goal.

For me, that's quite liberating. It's kind of like getting away from the mindset of burning in hell if we don't obey the religious rules. That way, I can poke in the undergrowth at the side of the Path to see what jumps out to bite me on the backside.


Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.

Wisdom is knowing that putting it in a fruit salad is not clever.

Philosophy is wondering if ketchup is a smoothie.


Namaste Guthrio - the screwed up in me acknowledges the screwed up in you. :hug3:

As for me, I would indeed enjoy a tasty repast of fruit salad, with tomotoes, a touch of ketchup, and a few sprinkles of "ditty" to spice it all up, Brother Greenslade.

It's not often I get to relish when "the screwed up in me gets to acknowledge the screwed up in you", and others in this wonderful forum of travelers.

Namaste to all....:hug:
