You cannot measure spirituality by the number of bad habits you have or not. Nor by a certain number of experiences. Awareness of the moment and a joy for living can also be an indication of where you are spiritually.
The window of heaven is what all truth seekers are trying to open.
The principles of Spirit are embedded in the literature and in the life of our culture. Truth is never hidden. It is always available for the Soul who wants to take the next step.
Self-discipline is an absolute necessity if one is to have a productive spiritual life. Replace old tastes and preferences with new, better ones. But do it in the name of the Holy Spirit, with love and a sincere heart, or nothing will come of this experiment.
People who are able to help in the work of the Holy Spirit are those who are able to help themselves.
Whenever youre in doubt about any action, ask yourself: Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind? You can also ask, What would love do now?
On the outside, divine and emotional love may look the same, but divine love is joyful, thankful. It gives itself fully.
Let love be what it will. Dont let the mind tell you one is human and the other divine.
One of the principles, or laws, of Divine Spirit is that there is always one more step. There is always one more heaven.
People who are able to help in the work of the Holy Spirit are those who are able to help themselves.
Thoughts are things, and it is important to keep our thoughts of a spiritual nature, to put attention on living a life that is a clear step toward growth.
