Everything is Spiritual

Hello World Changers,

It’s Friday in the great nation of Australia! I was struck with a thought last night in a meeting with some close friends of mine. The idea that everything is spiritual. In our western thought process we tend to break things up into spiritual and not spiritual. For instance going to church or going on a bush walk could be considered spiritual, on the other hand some of our daily task like working, driving, or doing the dishes are not usually classified as spiritual. As humans we all have a sense that there is more going on than what we see with our natural eyes. Everything is spiritual.

Albert Einstein:
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.

David Steindl-Rast:
Sometimes people get the mistaken notion that spirituality is a separate department of life, the penthouse of existence. But rightly understood, it is a vital awareness that pervades all realms of our being.

Denis Waitley:
Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.

Ralph Waldo Emerson:
We as for long life, but 'tis deep life, or noble moments that signify. Let the measure of time be spiritual, not mechanical.
