Spirituality Can Help Everyone During These Times

I will never forget what a Russian man said at a lecture before the wall came down. "The oppression encouraged the Russians to go inward and develop their spirituality."

Fortunately, we are not ruled by a dictatorship in the United States. It is helpful during these tough economic times to be very grateful for that fact. It is also helpful to develop our spirituality.

We can be spiritual and religious. We can also be spiritual and not religious, as well as religious and not spiritual.

What is the important difference? To me, spirituality is a state of trust and faith in the power of love and kindness. It is the state of our being which functions from our all-loving, all knowing, unlimited spiritual part.
It is the part we express by our caring and making a positive difference in anyway that we can.

To feel good during these times, focus on what you can do to be more caring to others and yourself. Be positive and grateful for everything and everyone. Then, when the recession ends, we can raise our heads up higher than ever before, because we have become a more spiritual nation and a model for many others!
