[00:00:02] Welcome to the Making of youf. This is episode 33 and I'm Alexandria, founder of themasteryproject.com and yourtransformationhub.com so let's get into it. Today we're going to be looking at five ways spirituality fuels a well lived life.
[00:00:20] Okay, so diving in. Number one, what does spirituality actually mean? All right, It's a bit, bit of a Pisces concept, a bit sort of out there for a lot of people. And the reason is because spirituality has an immaterial and material component. All right, so when you say to people spirituality is loving consciousness, often you can get a blank look simply because loving consciousness doesn't have a form.
[00:00:47] So our humanness can be somewhat attached to everything having a form and then it's kind of nailed down or it's expressed or defined. And so we're comfortable with it.
[00:00:58] Therefore, spirituality is embracing that, but it's embracing all the different energies that aren't material but are still part of who we are, what we can aspire to, who we become, what we experience.
[00:01:14] So I think it would be pretty accurate to say that spirituality is the study of the loving consciousness of your. Your soul, your self, your humanness and your higher aspects, your higher dimensions and higher consciousness.
[00:01:31] So spirituality is that big bubble that embraces all of the levels of self. Okay? Some material and some immaterial.
[00:01:41] Now, is spirituality and religion the same? Well, no, simply because religions are the learnings and teachings of, of course, different religious schools of thought and different beings, shall we say, or enlightened people who have taught a specific message to the humanity during history and their wisdoms and knowledge about loving consciousness and about how to reach a state perhaps of all lovingness and all peace and allowance and flowfulness.
[00:02:19] So for a lot of people, they get confused with spiritual nature being religion.
[00:02:25] So all I would say to people is a bit like that phrase, you know, all German shepherds are dogs, but not all dogs are German shepherds. So it's just simply to say that religion is part of that big bubble that is spirituality or being spiritual.
[00:02:43] So if you are spiritual, it doesn't mean that you can't, you know, sell your flat and all your possessions and go and experience a complete detached life. In India you could do that.
[00:02:55] But spirituality doesn't mean you have to be one definition or do it in one way or conform to perhaps some of the more nutty and discrediting perceptions of what spirituality can be.
[00:03:13] So it's definitely to explore, all right, both the material and immaterial aspects in our lives, of course, to make sense of it, to say, what is this meaning, what is the purpose, what is the destiny? And to find the great lovingness that I personally believe we're all made from, we're all connected to and we can all experience, but we do require to work from the inside out out to achieve it. So spirituality includes your personal consciousness. It includes your capacity, shall we say, for enlightenment to become more aware of higher consciousness wisdoms and perspectives and choosing them and being them and living through them.
[00:03:58] But it also is related, of course, to the ascension process that some people have been talking about for the last sort of 30 and 40 years. And the ascension is slightly different to enlightenment because ascension is the belief not only that we raise our consciousness and we become enlightened or we show that sort of enlightened consciousness by perhaps even being, you know, much more a light figure or a magical or mystical figure, but we also are still capable of maintaining a degree of physical presence.
[00:04:36] So for example, you'll hear the words ascended mastery, and ascended mastery means the capacity to become enlightened, but to maintain one's physical presence in this domain in some way.
[00:04:49] So over the years we've got spiritual masters who have ascended and who have continued to come and go in our dimensions and sometimes they might perceive, be perceived by others not to have aged, for example, or simply to be the most extraordinarily talented or wise or enlightening individuals to meet.
[00:05:15] One I could definitely name here immediately would be Saint Germain. Now some people say, oh, Saint Germain is loads of rubbish, it's a fictional character. Other people say that there are many documented instances when St. Germain was found all over the European subcontinent in the 16th, 17th, 18th centuries. And he was always supporting nobility and high ranking leaders in the pursuit of peace and in the understandings of how to all get along, if you will, in the higher consciousness and loving consciousness.
[00:05:56] So that's a quick tour around what it is to be spiritual.
[00:06:03] Now, of course, the fundamental is we're all loving. And as I said, there's no right way, there's no wrong way in the sense of. To explore spirituality is indeed to be in the exploration of loving consciousness. So that's simply what it is. And if you want to be religious, go for your life. If you would like to be very much in an inner exploration with your own consciousness. Of course all of this is valid in the loving way.
[00:06:30] Okay, number two. Well, the spiritual can also help us understand our energetics, all right, how we create, how we relate to life, how we are connected how we are fueled.
[00:06:44] So you know me, I'm a massive proponent of heart mind alignment. I always tell people your cosmic connection. So your spiritual nature starts in your heart, all right? And it is a connection to all that is. It is a connection to all that is loving. And if you're a scientist, you could consider it as being plugged in to the cosmic fueling station, all right? The flow of energy that is creating your experiences in your life.
[00:07:13] So spirituality embraces something called a full body system. All right? So the spiritual body is the fourth because it is considered to be non physical and it is considered to sort of unify all the aspects of, of physical and non physical nature. So when we, if you imagine a big circle, then also in the center of that circle you've got, if you're in balance, a unity between your mental body, all right, your emotional body and your physical body, which is the one, of course, that has form and has, you know, houses your physical nature to walk around the planet and be here in a physical way.
[00:07:56] So when the emotional and mental body are together, if you imagine those three circles being superimposed upon themselves, and then the spirituality aspect or the spiritual nature of self, the spiritual body is the fourth circle that basically is embracing all of those three circles in the center. So when you're in the center, you're in balance. When you're in balance, then you are fully aligned with the creative potentiality of yourself. So that means that your energy connection is fully anchored. So if you imagine that you literally did go to a filling station in the sky and you wanted to plug in and fill up, then what you're going to be doing is sticking the nozzle exactly in your vehicle, if you will, in that central place. And all the energy is going to go straight through you and it's going to be usable constantly and continuously. Now, when we're not in peace, all right, that's when our bodies, our mental body and our emotional body can separate and they can even literally separate from our physicality momentarily. And that's when we have often a physical crisis.
[00:09:10] But the level of balance can shift a bit like a bellows back and forth around our materiality.
[00:09:16] So materiality has to be now, or I can't go anywhere else because we wouldn't be here.
[00:09:22] So it's that sense that the greater unity between those circles is then held beautifully by the overall loving consciousness of our spiritual nature and the all that is all the loving nature of energy and consciousness in the universe.
[00:09:38] So if you are spiritual, what's the benefits for this? Well, you're much more likely to understand why balance is beneficial. For a start, you're much more likely to want to discover the reasons behind what you're doing at the moment, what you're choosing to become more self aware and also to just be able to say, hey, my thoughts, my choices, create my reality. And it's very important for me to get that straight with my inner truth and check in with myself, understand what I actually want to create rather than potentially be bombarded by the external telling me all the things that I should want or should have or should buy or should be. So your spiritual nature is going, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, external voice, can you chill for a moment please? Or I'm going to pop you on pause and I'm going to listen to me, I'm going to listen to the overall cosmic element, that the whole sense of meaning, not just the material one. Okay? And in the same token, you can have also, of course, your spiritual nature going, hey, my biggest concerns at the moment are material. They are physical. My health or my physical financial well being or the roof over my head or the travel and beautiful holiday. I'm going to go on and explore Mother Earth. So the key with spirituality is through remember that there's a spiritual component of everything. There's a spiritual component in you, in how you feel, how you are physically, your wellness, your connectedness, how you are feeling in your planning, all right. In your practical sketching in your mind about how to apply and ground what you want to create, what you dream of. So that loving consciousness connects with everything.
[00:11:31] And it does.
[00:11:33] The higher your frequency becomes through that path of self awareness and the discovery of meaning and purpose.
[00:11:40] And of course, the more synchronized and the more complete you can feel or the more harmonized with your environment and then the more your creative capabilities become quicker or more instantaneous or you're capable of adapting more intelligently to everything that comes to pass in your. Your journey forward.
[00:12:03] All right, Number three. Well, the benefits of spirituality also help us understand because everything is connected, it's all energy. And like Einstein said, you know, energy is neither created nor destroyed, it is just changing form.
[00:12:18] So the concept of recycling, or a word that's quite common now, which is transmutation, that is part of spirituality in the sense of understanding that we are constantly in, in this flow of what we're working to understand, what we're embracing, what we're experiencing and then what we've learned and what becomes no longer useful to learn from.
[00:12:43] So the key with transmutation and with that in our spiritual nature, is to understand that love is all right. The energy is flowing effortlessly and it's constant, shall we say, it's unlimited.
[00:12:59] And if we're not in alignment, that's what's going to stand between us. So if we're living in the past, holding on to how things used to be rather than being now, then we're going to cause some burdens. So the benefit of a spiritual aspect is that we're constantly saying, yes, that was then and this is now. How have I changed? How can I galvanize? How can I refine? How can I consolidate who I have become or who I am becoming now?
[00:13:26] And how can I actually give back to the universe, the elements in and the forms and the experiences and the versions of myself that I don't require anymore? So spirituality shows us everything's connected, but it also shows us that there's a lot of different forms and a lot of different experiences that we undergo and that we aren't stuck to one of those and we are constantly evolving and developing.
[00:13:52] Okay, number four. Well, I think it's quite easy to say that we are going through a paradigm shift on the planet. I think everyone, if they were really honest and put their hand up and go, yeah, everything's changing and it is beginning to accelerate quite consistently.
[00:14:08] So I think a spiritual perspective and being spiritual, the benefits are that you can look at the biggest cycles that are happening, but also you can say to yourself, I'm not a victim of what's going on, but I do understand that I create my reality. So I need to be proactive and very aware and conscious of the choices I'm making.
[00:14:28] So the key with a spiritual nature is to be able to say, hey, I am the one who is in command of my conscious choice. And I don't want to be sort of pedantic, but it is our responsibility to align with that and to utilize it on a daily basis. So if we want meaning, we're going to have to ask perhaps the tougher questions, but equally, we are going to also be able to see how things piece together.
[00:14:59] So I always said to people with the paradigm shift, would you like to understand yourself, build a surfboard and ride the wave, or do you want to just basically be dragged on kicking and screaming and sort of tumbling around in the wave? So I believe with spiritual perspective and higher consciousness and self awareness, that we can actually build that surfboard and ride the wave so we get greater fulfillment, greater meaning, and we also get that liberation of realizing we create our own reality.
[00:15:31] Okay, the last point today, number five, rising up and out of the old paradigm. Okay, so what the spiritual nature will do a little bit, what I was talking about earlier is it will help us recognize and consciously keep on choosing a new path for ourselves. And sometimes that is really important to recognize because a lot of us are needing to bring our energy into the now and to reclaim our energy.
[00:16:03] So that can happen, for example, with a shift in friendships, a shift in interests, a shift in how we relate to our environment, where we want to live, who we want to become.
[00:16:15] So that whole element of discovering our spiritual nature can mean that we integrate both our physical reality, our emotions, and our mentality very differently because we have greater awareness and we are more aware of the lovingness and the higher consciousness options available to us.
[00:16:35] Okay? So helping us rise up out of the past, the old paradigm. Helping us with the great gift of transmutation and the realization that it's our choices and that we are in command.
[00:16:49] Okay. It's been my great pleasure to talk about spirituality today. I'm Alexandria, and I look forward to greeting you on episode 34. Thank you very much.
