I have noticed a tendency in some "spiritual" folks to step over the line of spiritual acts lately. That sounds strange, but here is what they do, they become self righteous, they claim to speak for the world, they say they will "pray for you" (and that isn't a good thing, it means "you are a jerk and I hope God can straighten you out"), they take on rites, rituals and such that they have no business taking on, and no authority to teach, run, share.
I have seen a lot of people lately who are overly sensitive about things. They imagine a "bad world" where there isn't one. They have a chip on their shoulder the size of an aircraft carrier. This make everyone else a little "badder" which makes them look a little more holy. They put down others to make themselves look and feel better.
There are some things that are true about spirituality.....
God (or whomever you resonate with), is not to be used as a weapon. (As in "God will get you for that" or "I will pray for you!")
Charity begins at home, not where it will get your name in the paper or some kudos from friends. Charity is from the heart, not the ego.
Spiritual people welcome questions from "what school did you go to" to "What tribe are your from", and do not get offended.
Spiritual people aren't bliss ninnies becasue they know being spiritual means being based in reality. We have to live, experience, learn and share in THIS REAL WORLD.
Spirituality doesn't shove itself down someone's throat.
Spiritual people do not rip other people off, as in "I see a black cloud over you and can remove it for $1,000".
Spiritual people do not pretend to be something they are not.
Spiritual people do not harm others.
Spiritual people help whenever they can HOWEVER when they are told "no thank you" they back off.
Spiritual people work hard in the mundane world, as hard as they do in the spiritual world.
**************************************************
I see more spiritual people stirring the pot lately, and yet they are the same people who yell "world peace!" . When you keep my simple rule for life in mind you will never have a problem, and that is "do the right thing for the right reason."
Be authentic.
