Spiritual Wisdom for Daily Living: A Step-by-Step Guide to Embracing Spirituality for Beginners

Introduction

Spirituality is a concept that transcends time, space, and consciousness. It has room for many perspectives, which allows it to be multifunctional in different understandings. Still, it gives a general sense of connection that would enable everyone—willing to participate, realize it's something bigger than ourselves, and it distinctively implies a search for meaning in life— simply put as a universal human experience, something that resonates through all beings. Spirituality might have different definitions based on the various encounters; as such might be described as sacred or transcendent or just a deep feeling of aliveness and abstract connections.

Some may think that spirituality is intricately associated with their inherited religious beliefs—going to church, mosque, temples, or shrines. Others may pray to find peace in their personal relationship with god, or some force humans have yet to be convinced to name. Still, others seek meaning through their connection to nature or art—like your sense of reasoning. Your personal definition of spirituality may deviate as you grow in life, adapting to personal experiences and encounters.

As a student in this school of awareness, thinking of spirituality as you please is acceptable. Still, with resonating accountability of your own thoughts and feelings, because you can't accept anything, anyone says/writes or teaches on spirituality without being accountable for your own inner knowing.

This book is written with the concern of passing an important awareness to the general populace at large because most of us in the civilized era have redesigned ourselves to a clichéd existence subjected to never-ending distractions. We journey through life with a pseudo-faith and pretend not to notice the emptiness in our lives. We are continuously hunted by the failure of our relationships, neurotic complaints, and unavoidable loneliness. Of course, it's not a new experience, but it's now a challenge to self-consciousness and the ability to dive into the universe for a solution.

There is more to us as a being than what we really know; what we feel are pretty easy to comprehend—love, hate, jealousy, you can keep the list on, but what encompasses these feelings, the only thing that resonates through our primate being, is spiritual. It's right before your eyes yet invisible, speaking loud and clear yet inaudible, reaching out to us in all perspectives and forms, but we are too weak to grasp its reins. You and I carry the most mysterious magnificent quality within us imaginable. Unknown to us, we are like a stranger to it, it's so easy for us to feel different or to sense a change in our understanding, yet we deny these forces and their existence. But the truth is that we are much more than a primate of evolution roaming the Earth for about billions of years ago. The universe is spiritual, and we are a part of it. Billions of years ago, the first men were aware of this spectrum. With the available knowledge, we know that to explore the depth of our soul, we must go into a place beyond the physical, an area of the unknown yet right within ourselves.

In ancient times there were cultures with elders and knowledgeable individuals who encouraged men to go deeper into searching for the spiritual; they oversee these experiences and hold them dear to their personal being. Sadly, these days of advancing technology have made us lose touch with spirituality. Instead, orthodox religion has replaced true spirituality with dogmatic preaching dismissing and outlawing personal experimentation with the divine.

Searching for the spiritual is not a journey where we can make use of our Google map, the spiritual is not what the world described it to be; it is far beyond religious education, profane history, and secular education—and all other phrases that are so commonly used, they deceived the public mind into a false view of the spirit and the world. The best way to put it is to say spiritual is the life, the world, the form, it's without form or shape, for we are it, it cannot be separate from us as we are made of it—life, matter, and spiritual are interwoven and interconnectedness of everything, we are all evidence of life, and the physical world make matter viable. However, we can't deny the extreme part of our being, which is spiritual—this book will enlighten you as a spiritual student to become aware of its presence all around us. All practical activities are forms of divine activities. The wheel of the world is turned by the spiritual, and men are parts of its pair of functionality, which touch the rim of the wheel.

I hope you have a great experience as you move further into this conscious journey of spirituality. A course in spirituality for beginners is a delight to the spirit but a massive confrontation with stereotypes. It takes us off guard from prior knowledge of spirituality we have learned from friends or watched over a short series of YouTube programs. For that reason, readers might develop a resistance to the journey, many quit doing the lessons, and others complain under their breath, It's complicated. Yet, the same student admits, I know the journey will be an outstanding one and can change my life; I just wished it were easier to practice.

This book you are holding can help you do exactly that. Going on a journey of spirituality can seem suffocating. However, that is because it's been viewed from a complicated analogy—To practice spirituality, you must be stationary to a fixed point without moving, hold your breath for very long hours, or stop talking to your neighbors—these are truly suffocating. Still, you don't need to overdo all those in this book. Here is a map of the journey from fear to love. I take an essential principle of the course and breaks it down into easy-to-grasp ideas, exercise, and steps to help you make the truth work in your life. The book has excellent chapters, which can be treated as a topic on its own, but for beginners like you in this exquisite journey, it's carefully arranged to fit your comprehension. Please take it as a journey of one step after the other. With ease and dedication, you will get to the end of this journey as a new person, not intimidated by physical—disappointment, low self-esteem, and failures. But a confident person who makes cognitive decisions and takes action because the interference of the spiritual fully backs them to make the reality aid your course and directions in life.

Start Your Journey of Spirituality

When you are hiking, instructions and a manual will be given to you as a hiker, and perhaps instructors might accompany you on the exercise. So I was hoping you could take this chapter as a hiking journey, which is very pleasing and does not need to be rushed. There will be a manual and guidance that will comprehensively analyze how this journey could be a pleasant experience for you. Incorporating this hiking analogy will make the subject more familiar and easy to relate to, so let's keep the mind active. The spiritual journey is like a tall mountain, with its magnanimity encompassing all around, creating trails or footpaths for people to walk on, taking their loved ones and friends along. Walking on this path will give a closer approach to nature and matter; the spiritual is a third force in the universe. Going on a hiking exercise requires you to be mentally prepared, and it Is not done with the same clothing as a walk down the street. You will need a set of clothing and footwear, gear, and a special package—nutrition, hydration, and emergency shelter. Likewise, the spiritual journey is not made with the same mindset you use in reading a love novel or fiction story; it takes attention and calmness, with an open mind for development.

Art of perfection and questioning our inner thoughts

I'll rather have questions that can't be answered than have answers that can't be questioned— Richard P.Feyman.

The spiritual is not synonymous with dogmatism, we are free thinkers, and thoughts are allowed to thrive, which would be set on a proper footpath. Spirituality is from within, and that is where all ideas originate. Since we have a brain to think and a mind to analyze, there is a chance for different thoughts, one antagonizing the other. And some days, they will be in unison. The spiritual is a bedrock for our thoughts. It gives a chance for questioning and does not impose perfection because the universe is flawed yet perfect in all-encompassing. Likewise, you are also flawed with different flaws from the next guy, yet you are all perfect in your unique ways. One way to have a great start on the spiritual journey is to question our consciousness and let curiosity thrive because curiosity is the mother of invention, and invention leads to discovery. We must allow the inner thought to thrive before we can access the great discovery—spirituality.

Creative intelligence flows through the universe, which holds the keys to living your potential. You can feel it resonating through all of your thoughts, like a gear you can rest on to have your next step of climbing high grounds. There are thoughts about our true being that endlessly search for the meaning of our existence in all its splendor. Have you ever wondered who you are, why you are here, what purpose you serve, and where it all leads? The only thing we know for sure is that we were born, and one day, we will die. But do
