The Spiritual Practice of Study is a never ending journey into the Truth of Self. Where have we come from? Where are we going? Why are we here? Life itself affords us the opportunity to play in the infinite lab of all possibilities. In study we explore these questions and expand our conscious understanding of what Life is and how we choose to live it.
The Spiritual Practice of Study can happen in different ways and forms. For instance reading materials of a spiritual nature such as, the bible, yes I did say the bible; there are many different versions of the bible and many things that can inspire you spiritually from the bible.
Also there is the Torah, the Koran, the Bhagavad Gita and many more form all the religions of the world. Just because you practice one religion or are on a defined spiritual path does not stop you from expanding your mind by reading these other books, such as The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success: A Practical Guide to the Fulfillment of Your Dreams by Deepak Chopra, Remember, Be Here Now by Ram Dass, or A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose by Eckhart Tolle. There hundreds of books that feed your spirit and expand your mind.
With technology today you can listen to books and lectures on your way to work or even while you are at work. Anything that expands your mind and opens it up to other ways of thinking can be spiritual.
Listening to a broad range of books, whether fact, fiction, magical such as the Harry Potter series, healing and plethora of audio books out the can move you from stress and anxiety to calm and peace.
There are also many videos out for your viewing either by rental or at your local libraries.
I invite you to seek out books related to other religions and cultures. By studying other religions and culture you will have a better understanding of their traditions and beliefs. Really once you get to that understanding you might realize that they are not so different from you and your beliefs. You will be amazed what you will find and how your mind and heart will be expanded.
