- One of the questions we ask a lot is: what does it mean to be spiritual? There are people that
- that have been spiritual
- me... I have been spiritual all my life, I understand but, I think we need to understand several things.
- from my perspective, any way
- that there are many things that we call gifts. There are people that are born clairvoyant,
- there are people that are born with tremendous intuition
- and people that are born with certain gifts.
- They are beyond the five sense gifts, but they are gifts.
- Our idea, our concept of a spiritual person is someone who has gone through challenges in their life
- and have overcome those challenges and come closer to understanding the essence of why we are here.
- for instance, a spiritual person would never say: I've had it, there is nothing left in life.
- You know, I've lost my job, I've separated from my family, my friends have left me. I'm done.
- A spiritual person would say: OK, I understand that this door is closed to me.
- Where is that other door that is opening? What is it that I need to learn form all these things that have happened that I have to grow beyond?
- This is my challenge. How do I take that challenge and make more out of my life?
- How many times have we, in our travels, meet people who've got ill, who had terrible things happened to them.
- and through those terrible experiences became more and more connected to the Light, to the positive things in life.
- Through the negative. I've said this before I say it again: the only way to grow is through the negative channel.
- And there's a story that I always love to tell about somebody that's a piece of coal.
- Piece of coal, put on a table, through the centuries, remains coal.
- But if you take that same coal, and put it through tons and tons of pressure
- then, and only then, do you get a diamond.
- in order to be that diamond, you need the pressure, you need the things that happen, that evolve around you, that changes
- the karma that you came into this life with. Remember, there is plenty of crusts of life times before that we are here with.
- The environment around us, the people that we see, our family, our friends are all there as part of this symphony
- to make our life into the thing it needs to be. And those people along our way are people that help us grow
- to find the the real essence of our spiritual nature.
- and that's what I call people, spiritual people are people that work on themselves.
- You can't have a bad temper and say "I'm a spiritual person"
- You can't have evil in your life. What's evil? WHen you are jealous of somebody else
- or you are envious of somebody else.
- Who looses? You loose. Because that envy and jealousy is the negative for you. It takes the place of your energy and of your life.
- you may ask if it bothers the other person, but more than anything else that negative that you generate forward,
- brings that negative back into your own life. And you loose, you loose.
- The punishment for all those negative things that we do in our life, the punishment is the envy is the jealousy is the anger. That's the punishment.
- If we understand that is such a tremendous tool.
- To know that the moment I look at somebody else and say "Why don't I have that?"
- I'm causing inside my own framework, that lack to remain.
- For me! Wouldn't it be great if we could understand the tool that way.
- Once we do that than we can see the beginnings of another way of looking at life.
- And when we open that channel, when we throw the ball against the wall,
- and we realize with certainty that that ball is going to bounce back. That ball of caring for somebody else,
- that ball of being there for someone when you don't wanna be there.
- That bounce back, that ability to know with absolute certainty that that negative that I put into somebody's life will become my negative.
- It will take something from my life. You know...
- every person has an aura, has a level around them. And every person has an energy field which is right below the aura.
- And every time we create a negative action of any kind, we make a little hole, like in the ozone lair, you'll find holes.
- When those holes become big enough, we wind up with serious problems.
- Sometimes is called disease, sometimes is called separation, sometimes is called death and sometimes is called by many other names.
- But the only name we really need to know is the name that says that I am the captain of my ship.
- I'm responsible weather I grow or weather I don't grow.
- A spiritual, spiritual person is somebody that accounts his life in the way that he response in the ability to change things that are through
- the conscientiousness that everything that is, is there for me as an individual to grow. Be it positive or negative.
