SPIRITUALLY FIT FOR LIFE

GOOD EVENING!

It is nice to be back with my fellow travelers. It seems our journey to spiritual nirvana has had it shares of bumps and detours. Not a problem, this will happen from time to time. and it actually a good thing as it keeps us grounded and in the moment.

I was driving down I-294 this morning when it dawned on me, what I have been trying to say in these postings is so much simpler than I would have thought. The metaphor that I have been searching for was right there in front of me.

As you may or may not know, is that I try to work out everyday. Not just to loose a few pounds, but to clear my mind for the tasks that Lay ahead each day. Some days are more taxing than others, some mentally, some physically. What I have been trying to do is to find the "real Robb Packer" stealthily hidden beneath what I see in the shower each and every morning. Now this may in fact be an exercise in futility, but I try everyday none the less.

Then it hit me like a ton of bricks! I can try all I want, but eventually I put back on those precarious pounds and then I start up that familiar hill once again. Why I thought, can't I strip away the spiritual fat to find the true soul of my being. Now stay with me for moment. It is really that simple. Instead of just running and working out to stay ahead of the fat demons, you can do the same for your spiritual well being.

Now you have a heart with limited ability and endurance, and you certainly workout to the best of your capability. But there is a point when you can only take your physicality so far. Not so with your spirituality and soul. Your soul is immortal and your spirit once cleaned of all the layers of spiritual fat, becomes a beacon of light and joy so intense as to burn away all your fears and sorrows with laser like intensity. You need to strip away the emotional fat to find the true you _____ soul, your spiritual heart! To find the real you strong, confident and secure.

So if you need to get into good physical condition, you diet, eat what is good for you and you workout. But if you need to get into good spiritual shape, you also need a good diet, eat what is good for you and also workout. The difference being, your diet is rich in spiritual readings, you drink the words of the great spiritualists, and you workout your heart, mind and soul. How you do this I hope to be your guide on this journey. The first thing, the most important idea you need to embrace is to know that you have within in you all the answers you will ever need. All you have to see it to believe it. And through words I post, my wish is to hasten your way down this path to a place that you already know exists and with patience you will see what is. That you will learn to live in the moment and in so doing find the peace and light to take you home, home to where your joy, happiness and abundance resides.

More to follow, I may be on a roll,

Joy and Peace,
Robb
