How to be spiritual.

There are many doorways to enter our spiritual dimension, as many as the breath.

Whatever a human can possibly do, it is spiritual when the action is done in awareness, peace, and love. Being spiritual is not about acquiring something outside of us. It is not learning another language like computer scientists do. The dimension within all of us that is autonomous, peaceful, and understanding; That is spirituality. The doorway to reach that state may open in meditation, yoga, communal gatherings, or as intimately as the mundane acts of everyday life. Simply keep on doing what already brings us vitality, that is our personal doorway to the Universe's sacredness.

Enlightenment is always there. Small enlightenment will bring great enlightenment. If you breathe in and are aware that you are alive—that you can touch the miracle of being alive—then that is a kind of enlightenment. Many people are alive but don’t touch the miracle of being alive. - Thầy Nhất Hạnh

When we stop doubting our spiritual prowess, we give ourselves the chance to rejoice in our current (humanly spiritual) experience. We can then express, eat, sing, make love, and file paperwork in spirituality.

Enjoy.
