I Want To Believe...

First of all!

Congratulations. You have elevated yourself above the rest of us in the realm of “spirituality”. This is precisely the path of great intellectuals both men and women. And they all dedicated their lives in search of truth.

And as they say “Truth shalt set you free”.

As part of this elevation into the realm of spirituality, you have now challenged yourself to focus on very very intractable problems.

And unless you find some semblance of an understanding of those problems, your mind will continue making an effort and thus you will feel uneasy, and restless.

As part of the attaining higher spirituality, you have to focus both on yourself and some of the people who are around you.

Depending on your age, ask yourself few questions!

  1. Are you employed gainfully as a professional. (if so are you making any contributions that are above and beyond your job description).

  2. Are you contributing towards the well being of your own family (kids, spouse, uncles and aunts, mum and dad etc. )

  3. Are you giving time and money towards the improvement of your local community (mosque or church, soup kitchen or homeless shelter, local school or firehouse etc.)

  4. Have you experienced true love? (at least once in your life!)

These are the questions you have to address BEFORE you delve into more complex issues such as global environment, and religious extremism, war and peace, Al Gore vs. Bush etc.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes for your spiritual journey.
