Inspired to Write on Practical Spirituality
By Susan Helene Kramer
September 8, 1982 marks the first time I wrote on
practical spirituality. I had just finished
participating in a kirtan and birthday celebration for Master Sivananda of Rishikesh. A friend
then asked my opinion on a sticky topic on living while being spiritual.
I told her I'd write her a
letter with my opinion, since I needed to think about it, and after I'd done
that I realized others might find the reasoning useful. That letter became my
first essay on practical spirituality, and initiated the first series on 30
topics called "Silver Threads," which I completed by that Christmas.
In the years following I have
written thousands of essays. My agreement with my Higher Self is that I will
not channel information that is not a reflection of who I am.
I agreed to write out my
thoughts, even if it was only at that very moment that I became what I was
writing down. I thought this would be the best approach for me to grow
spiritually.
I highly recommend this path
of writing from one's Higher Self for those who are introspective, and willing to
live what they are learning. The reason it is necessary to live upgraded
information is that it is like a snowball - each additional insight builds upon
previous understanding.
Keeping a journal is a way to
save thoughts after they come into waking consciousness.
Writing, reviewing, and integrating insights into
daily life keeps us growing spiritually.
Meditation plays a role
I feel we need to reflect on
our questions while in deep meditation. Then, immediately write out the answers
upon coming back to regular consciousness from the meditative state.
In deep quiet meditation we
are in a limitless daylight-like space without a horizon or mental border
blocking our sight. In this inner vastness, where we are unhindered, we can
hear the spiritual answers we need to hear at the moment.
Listen, dear friends
Listen in the deep spaciousness within.
