10 Ways You Are Spiritual
Adapted from The Book of Secrets, by Deepak Chopra (Three Rivers Press, 2004).
If you decide to lead a consciously spiritual life, a change occurs. The principles of the operating system, which means the rules of creation, become personal.
Let’s take a look at how we can line up the universal with the personal:
Universal: The universe is a mirror of consciousness.
Personal: The events of your life reflect who you are.
Universal: Awareness is collective. We all draw it from a common source.
Personal: The people in your life reflect aspects of yourself.
Universal: Awareness expands within itself.
Personal: Whatever you pay attention to will grow.
Universal: Consciousness creates by design.
Personal: Nothing is random—your life is full of signs and symbols.
Universal: Physical laws operate efficiently, with least effort.
Personal: At any given moment, the universe is giving you the best results possible.
Universal: Simple forms grow into more complex forms.
Personal: Your inner awareness is always evolving.
Universal: Knowledge takes in more and more of the world.
Personal: The direction of life is from duality to unity.
Universal: Evolution develops survival traits that perfectly match the environment.
Personal: If you open yourself to the force of evolution, it will carry you where you want to go.
Universal: Chaos serves evolution.
Personal: The fragmented mind cannot get you to unity, but you have to use it along the way.
Universal: Many invisible levels are enveloped in the physical world.
Personal: You are living in many dimensions at once; the appearance of being trapped in time and space is an illusion.

It means to follow Jesus examples of being of service, in a loving and caring way. Jesus didn't publish books, created spiritual resource spas, nor cozzied up with the powers to be. He actually confronted the powers to be of his time. All the leaders in this site are very cozzy to the powers to be.

Spirituality focuses on the true essence of reality- the nature of reality- energy, emotions, causes and effects.
The purpose of Ascension is to shift the perception of the Lower Self into alignment with the Higher Self's perception. When this shift successfully occurs, the person moves from a superficial perception to an ascended higher perception. A materialistic life based on desires influenced by societal norms changes focus into a life based on immaterial desires for soul enlightenment. Service-to-self desires change into those of service-to-others.

So if the events in our lives reflects who we are, why then Jesus did what he did? Why to take responsibility at all for one's life outcome if one has money and power to spent? Why be present and aware?
I don't think that the people around Jesus reflected who Jesus was. Was he a robber? He didn't need reflectors. Are the Christian martyrs also reflecting who they were when they were brought to death? Are Congolese people also getting what they reflect since King Leopold made Congo into a nightmare? Are the earth also reflecting all the greedy, materialistic people that is mining, destroying habitats and consuming like mad? What is Deepak saying?

while we are born into this world to create we are also born with a sacred purpose within the epicentre of our spirit whether we choose to release that sacred purpose or not is by the execution of free will from our nature of being spirituality is defined when our head and our heart come together through the natural aceptance of self from within once this is achieved the universe opens the door to spiritual wisdom the key to this is not set in an outward position but sits inwardly awaiting self realisation that we are all born equal and automatically at one with the universe and the cosmic vibrancy of God. We each have a path to weave unique to our own song and not the song of another. Blessed be to you and yours.

"Whatever you pay attention to will grow." Another point for the laws of attraction.
