How Spiritual Do You Want to Be?

Aloha and welcome to the Sobriety Rocks Podcast from Recovery HQ, today we’re going to talk about How Spiritual Do You Want to Be?

Sadhguru said, “Spirituality is not about becoming special—it is about becoming one with everything." 

When I was a little baby, I didn’t have any fear, doubt, guilt, shame, or judgement. My spirit was whole, I was happy, joy filled, free and full of love. My spirit shined and I felt one with everyone and everything. I was a beaming spiritual being, living from my spirit!

But I was placed in traumatic situations and wasn’t taught how to keep my spirit whole, free, and strong. Eventually I wasn’t living from my spirit, but from fear and doubt, and was no longer one with everyone and everything. 

Alcohol and drugs made fear-based living okay for far too long. Thankfully, one day it no longer did, and I was brought to addiction recovery. Here I found people who were living from their whole, happy, joy filled and free spirits like I used to.

I wanted to be free again, so I took the actions they did, and over the course of my first year in recovery, my spirit healed to a place of strength it hadn’t been in years. So, I continued taking the spiritual actions they taught me, and over the next eight years, my spirit healed to the same place of wholeness, happiness, and freedom it had been when I was a baby. Once again became one with everyone and everything.

Over these last eighteen years I’ve always taken enough action to keep my spirit at least as whole and strong as it was after my first year in recovery. But I haven’t always taken the enormous amounts of sincere, consistent, spiritual action I learned to keep my spirit whole, happy, joy filled, free, full of love, and one with everyone and everything. 

I’d like to think it’s an 80/20 split, but I believe it’s more likely a 60/40 split. Just to be sure, I went to my ultimate sources of truth, my wife and daughter. My wife said it’s been 80/20 since she met me, and my daughter said it’s probably 90/10 right now, and 75/25 nearly all the other time.

What’s your percentages? Are you taking enormous amounts of the sincere spiritual action you were taught 80% of the time, 60% of the time, more or less?

I don’t know about you, but I truly love when my spirit is whole, I’m happy, joy filled, free, full of love, and I feel at one with everyone and everything. 

So, today I choose enormous amounts of sincere, consistent, spiritual action! How about you?

Today we’ll close with a freedom meditation.
