Beginning the spiritual path again * 1
    #22315003 - 09/30/15 04:21 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)



Today has been a good day and I feel the time has come to rededicate myself to the spiritual path more earnestly then ever before.

I started by meditating today and will continue meditating daily as much as possible .

I also bought some incence and will burn it while worshipping at my altar which I also intend to do every day whenever possible.

I also emailed my ayahuasca Shaman and decided to participate in my fourth ceremony asap.

I also decided to proceed with becoming a mason. And I emailed the O.T.O and looked up the golden dawn to see about membership.

I will also dedicate my cannabjs use entirely to ritual , ceremonial and sacramental purposes like the Hindu Shaivites who smoke ganja all day as part of their spiritual pay and Bhakti worship and yoga.

I will also resume daily or almost daily yoga classes, chant prayers and mantras every Time I am in the shower, go to church and take communion on Sunday, and/or go to an ISKON kirtan. I emailed iskon about getting involved.

I will also resume attending dharma centre and Buddhist sangha and practice , and resume the reading of spiritual literature beginning with Koran.

I will do all this and more and firmly and completely dedicate my life and my identity to the spiritual path and all its forms and manifestations.

Finally I will resume keeping a dream journal and practicing lucid dreaming with discipline.

I am going all in.

Do you prescribe to any particular religion? I'm just curious because you mention Buddhism and the Koran and you have pictures of Ganesh and shiva (?)

That sounds very busy. Try not to forget the part where you live your life.

Remember, living well is also walking upon the spiritual path.

He who digs many holes will never find water, he who chases two rabbits will catch neither one, etc. Pick one path and go all in. Better yet, burn it all and get naked.

Many have errored in their thinking when they think "works" will "save them". Sure all the things you mentioned have value, but in my very limited experience, spirituality is about a relationship with the divine within, not perfection on this plane.

Again, I am not saying your plan is bad. You practice a lot of the things I am interested in. I just don't think it will necessarily get you where you want to be or keep you there. It is almost like another form of religion, if you dig? It's a regiment. What happens if you forget, become less interested, or fall into temptation? Does that mean you Love any less?

Perhaps it's also true, "all things work towards the greater Good" ...

This one is something I think about at times: Acknowledge him in all your ways, and he will make your paths straight (proverbs 3:6)

Again I don't want to appear judgmental, as I am a young man learning myself, just another thought to consider.

Peace be with you! :heartpump:

Don't give yourself a hard time if you skip one or two or seven items on the list. Judging from how much you ask of yourself, you sound like you might be prone to beating yourself up over "slacking". Be gentle.

With all due respect Moonshoe, reading your list almost gave me a panic attack.

Take it easy, my man. Don't put so much pressure on yourself.

Maybe find what is sustainable and stick with that?

Moon; funny you are picking up the hippie lifestyle again. IMO I wouldnt force myself to commit to any specific "Way". I personally have just started with yoga and meditation every morning. From there, I tryr and play guitar and read daily. Sometimes that is put on the back burner because I have to apply for jobs and such:shrug:

Also, I find all religions are related to a ridiculous extent. They are all pointing to the same damn thing. Except some are just retarded about how they state it IMO. Anyways; enjoy!

I find that lifting and yoga are complimentary. And that yoga and meditation are also complimentary. They all synergize beautifully such that you should try and do them all. Yoga helps recover from workouts MUCH faster and yoga clears the mind for meditation. It is also its own "thing" aside from meditation

I want to get into lifting to enhance my yoga practice, but I have no idea where to start. I have been thinking about getting a membership to this all ladies gym in my town....

Thank you for all the great contributions to this thread! Everyone being kind and respectful
Is so refreshing :heart:

To answer an earlier question I follow my own path which involves a synthesis of
Most religions , especially and specifically Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism.

I have read the bible from cover to cover and studied
It on and off since I was a child .

I have also read the bhagavad Gita, the Tao teh Ching, the Upanishads, etc.

I pray the Lord's Prayer and freestyle prayer daily and chant Hindu prayers and mantras regularly.

I meditate and do yoga regularly when I can and have been for about ten years.

I used to be an advanced lucid dreamer but lately fell out of it.

Today was my first day back on the path and it I got a new dream journal and wrote my dream down and did some intention affirmations before sleep.

Funny what some Of you said - my Shaman said "maybe you take yourself to seriously and are trying to hard"
And my brother said exactly the same thing to me a few days previously,

For me living a life of spirituality and religion is the best and only way for me to survive and thrive in this world.

It has always been my highest priority in life to attain salvation and enlightenment.

I just did some yoga and actually feel pretty amazing, really makes me realize how bad my normal posture is though.

This thread has inspired me though to start meditating again and start doing yoga regularly. I've never been an incredibly spiritual person but I think it could help if I give it a shot. Any tips and resources regarding meditation would be appreciated, as I've never been terribly good at it. I might start attending the Zen meditation group in my town again, but I'm open to try other forms of meditation.

You into the I Ching moonie? I've been thinking about getting into that lately.
