Chapter 5: Getting Lost: A Spiritual Perspective
When we are disconnected from our Real Self we are not only psychologically lost, but spiritually lost. When we forget to embrace the wisdom, guidance, and life-affirming energy of the Real Self, we don’t embrace the Spiritual Energy that is available to us. When we forget, we get caught up in minutia in our lives and lose perspective on our values and priorities. We end up losing touch with our personal integrity and personal barometer of health.
The consequences of getting lost spiritually include: reactive movement versus spiritual stillness, thinking versus experiencing, losing balance, incongruence, fighting against versus embracing a natural flow, fear versus love, scarcity versus abundance, losing perspective on suffering, sleepwalking, existential vacuum and meaninglessness, unbalanced responsibility, and alienation. Thankfully, Spiritual Energy is available every moment, and our Real Self provides the avenue for experiencing it. When we embrace our Real Self, we attain clarity on not only our lives, but on larger spiritual perspectives. We remember and connect with deep pools of understanding, which lead to sustainable spiritual and psychological health.
