Spiritual Enlightenment - You Are the Unique One

Yes you. Of the myriad of living things which have or will ever inhabit the universe you are unique there never has been or ever will be anything like you. Not only are you unique, you are from your point of view, the centre of the universe. So relish your uniqueness.

Your ancestral heritage has been passed to you through the combined DNA of your parents and their parents before them. However there is more than DNA, there are the memories of events in your parent's lives and again in their parents before them, giving you ancestral memories which influence the way you react to situations you meet as you travel through life. These memories are also a factor in your dreams as your spirit through your subconscious mind seeks to influence the way you respond to events.

A while back my dog Toby a Border Collie, when he was a puppy before training imposed restraints on his reactions, would follow his instincts and try to round up any group he was associated with. When we walked as a small group he would be constantly circling and herding, bringing any laggards back to the main group. Without training, his instinct or inherited memories was to herd and keep together any group he felt responsible for. He would also do the same with my neighbours chicken, much to the excitement of the chickens.

Why and how can you relish your uniqueness? Well, as a first step towards Spiritual Enlightenment you need to be aware of yourself and your relationship to the rest of the universe as well as being aware of your inner feelings, your gut feelings and your connection to your soul and spirit.

The how is quite simple but requires a little self discipline to achieve. As you go about your life take the time to appreciate and relish all you do, don't forget when a moment passes it is gone for ever so every moment is important. We have all heard the expression to smell the roses as we go through life, well start to smell the roses right now.

Appreciate whatever you do savour it, if some one talks to you, listen to them, savour the sound of their voice, look into their eyes and see the sparkle, try your best to empathize with them and for goodness sake don't miss the moment by concentrating on your response, listen and your response will come naturally.
Also as you read be aware and try to understand where the writer is coming from enjoy the words and their meanings, when you write try to visualise who will read your words and try to understand how they influence others.

The same applies to whatever you are doing, eating, looking at something doing a chore don't do it in a blur, just live fully every moment. This is the first in a series related to Spiritual Enlightenment, so savour your life and your uniqueness. Bye for now. Paul aka Arlen
