Over the years I have heard of many philosophies which espouse the idea of rejecting the physical world in favor of spiritual endeavors only. I myself spent several years apart from society in an attempt to devote myself entirely to spiritual practice, only to find that even in the most rarefied environments our practical lessons find us!
Indeed, the Guides and Angels remind us that we are in this physical reality for a reason. Perhaps that reason is to learn balance, perhaps it is to learn the mystery of paradox, perhaps it is just to enjoy the gifts of the bountiful Earth as we grow. Whatever the reason, the Guides remind us that the two realms are compatible and are meant to work together for our Evolution:
“Today is another day to breathe and to live and to enjoy. But it is also an opportunity to reaffirm to yourself that you are as sensitive to the Divine Voice as ever, even as you dive into your physical existence.”
May we always remember that we are in this unique reality of both form and formless for a reason. To deny one in favor of the other is to live a partial existence, bereft of the opportunities of growth waiting to assist us. Balance is not an easy pose to strike, but it is one that brings us the ultimate in physical joy and spiritual growth!
