For me, that really sums up how to begin your journey. I adore reading about different paths to enlightenment, individual stories and interpretation of individual journeys. One of my favorite recent reads is "Earth's Pivotal Years" by Selacia- http://earthspivotalyears.com/ It's a wonderful read.

The journey is called ‘life’." What a beautiful quote. The concept of a spiritual journey is so fascinating to me. I just read Dee Wallace's biography, Bright Light, which really focused on the lessons in spirituality she's learned from a life in acting. It's really inspiring to witness her soul quest, if only by reading it. I've recently evaluated how I look at everyday life and started to incorporate more spirituality into my world. Any tips on other books to read? I've read The Secret, as well. “We are already on a spiritual journey. The journey is called ‘life’.” What a beautiful quote.

You get connected with the higher spirit & feel no difference to the wordly happenings. Spiritualism helps individuals realize there purpose of life. The life of purpose and purpose for life. The journey begins only when an individual feels from the bottom of his heart the need to find the greater meaning for life. Just a short story to share ... When vivekananda approached his master Sri ramakrishna paramahamsa seeking an answer for " How can I find God? master took him to the river and forced him under the currents of water.... and finally released him. Vivekananda came out of waters gasping for breath... and questioned his master "I asked you to answer me on how can I find god ?? and u r forcing me under water and I might have died of breathlessness... then master replied when you get the same feeling to find god the way you felt under water you really find him. In short the feel to find the greater meaning of life and strong convictions & commitments to really embark the spiritual journey is what matters a true journey.The urge & the desire to feel the highest potential of living is what matters and takes one on this journey. Wish all the readers to develop an serious urge and desire to embark this beautiful journey of our life.

There are four stages, with several stages: All of these are designed to return us to Bethel and parttake in the spiritual espousal or transforming union with God. We enter or immerse into creation and soon thereafter we must emerge through creation. As we seek to emerge through creation, we recognize that we are all the prodigal son and with God's mercy and love begin the process of returning home. Like Jacob, we too must wrestle with both man and God, and cross our ford at jabbok. We then return to Bethel to be spiritually married with God. This is very much the process described by John of the Cross when he addressed so eloquently the Night of the Soul. The old man must die and the new man reborn. The journey is transforming as it was for Jacob, and each of us must return to Bethel. There is no escaping the way of the cross. Today, we seem all too interested in escape from life or a desire not to emerge through creation but to drift in creation. The real problem with finding our way is that we spend little time recognizing our true condition. We have very few true spiritual instructors to help guide us on our journey. That's why I began writing the book Finding Bethel. The pathway for every spiritual journey is ordered by God as he did for Jacob!
