Reconciling Your Spiritual Life with the Physical Realm
By Linda Howe
The central opportunity and challenge of our age is reconciling the spiritual and physical realms.
How can I be aware of the spiritual reality while being fully engaged in the physical world? I wondered. Not content with either spiritual escapism or denial of the unseen dimension, I forged ahead. I ventured out into the world with renewed enthusiasm and a deep desire to make a contribution To life.
To my dismay, I recognized that my inner compass was set to avoid pain, but not calibrated to move toward my dreams. At a loss for what to do next, I again turned to the Akashic Records, the vibrational archive of every soul.
One idea at a time, one practice at a time, one exercise at a time, an effective strategy for engaging in the world was revealed to me in my Records, yielding tremendous satisfaction and happiness. I presented the material to my students for a road test in a variety of formats, observing what worked for them, what was useful, and what made the most difference with the least amount of anguish.
Some gathered in groups, meeting monthly. Others opted for independent study. I witnessed students gaining clarity about their current perceptions by letting go of old ideas that had previously inhibited their ability to engage in life. What an intense learning curve it was!
Countless misunderstandings of old spiritual ideas interfered with my ability to consistently interact in the world as I desired. More than once, I appreciated being an infinite soul as it appeared I would need an eternity to resolve this matter! The more spiritual I considered myself to be, the less I was able to interact with diverse groups of people in a variety of situations.
My sensitivities were frequently heightened to a level of physical discomfort, disabling Me and driving Me into isolation. I recall thinking that surely this was not why I was called to the spiritual path. Still, I moved forward, wrestling with reconciling my spiritual existence with my ordinary life. As powerful, practical approaches were revealed to me in my personal Records, I brought my findings to my students for them to try. The results were simply remarkable!
