Resurrection, Truth, Social Conscience

How do you resurrect your spiritual life when it seems to have become bogged down in the pursuit of material stability? The first step is to recognize where you are heading at various stages of your life. This requires awareness and time spent in meditation to truly be in touch with where your life is leading. As you meditate you must become very clear on what your truth in life is. Understand the universal truth of the eternal nature of every soul and also recognize how that truth is meant to impact your life. When you know that sharing the truth is an essential part of any spiritual path then it will be much easier to make the commitment to that path. However, realize that the path is seldom a solitary one that focuses only on your own contemplative relationship with God. The path of spirituality in today’s world must always focus on how you can impact the lives of others. Always be aware of the conditions under which other souls are suffering. Recognize the different levels of suffering, from the obvious material necessities such as starvation, illness, and overt oppression to the more subtle suffering of lack of purpose by those living a materially abundant yet spiritually bankrupt life. Your social consciousness must always ask how you can actively provide the most effective help to as many people as possible based upon their particular situation. Understand that the most important thing you can ever do is educate people about the truth of the soul. There is tremendous ignorance that manifests itself in amazingly close-minded and judgmental concepts of religion. Share the wonderful and rather obvious truth about the nature of the soul and you will revive not only your own spiritual direction, but you will be literally saving the spiritual lives of countless other souls.
