โˆž often, my spiritual awakening is something that grows stronger over time. โˆž

i can strive for more spiritual awareness simply by living my life.
this is very true for me, in fact i miss most of my spiritual awakenings by days, weeks and months. i usually do not get burning bush experiences when it comes to my spiritual awakenings but if i did i would probably drop dead from shock. so how in the world am i supposed to get better? well all i have to do is what is suggested, you know the drill -- go to meetings, speak to an addict, work with my sponsor, read the literature and pray. oh yeah and work the steps.
the reading does not suggest that this will lead to a profound spiritual experience, but it does suggest that over time my spirit will awaken to new possibilities and ideas. so here i sit pondering spiritual stuff while sitting in the material world wondering what responsibilities i am not meeting right now. well it is not actually that bad, but i am more than a bit distracted so i think i will move on and if something jumps out at me as i pass through my day i will add a post script.

Tao Te Ching

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯

The Tao Teh King, or The Tao and Its Characteristics
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge

Book 2

1) Without going outside his door, one understands (all that takes
place) under the sky; without looking out from his window, one sees
the Tao of Heaven. The farther that one goes out (from himself), the
less he knows.
