You’re not so spiritual!
I’ve been really reviewing a lot of Eckhart Tolle’s material and am becoming more aware of my thoughts. Recently, I’ve noticed that I have lots of judgments.
For example, the other night my husband and I went to a “spiritual” movie that interviewed a lot of spiritual leaders in the community. Some of the leaders I had met before and found myself thinking, “They’re not so spiritual. They’re hippocrits.”
Then I also saw people from my past at the movie and had some very similar thoughts like, “What are they doing here, they’re not that spiritual?”
I know that anytime you have a judgment about something it’s always a reflection of you. So I observed all the judgments I was making and then asked myself what I needed to look at in myself around this…
I realized that many people in the past have said those same comments to me. For example, an ex-boyfriend once said to me, “You’re not so spiritual.”
I know others may have said this about me as well, especially now that I am out there on the public speaking circuit.
Yet, what I realized about this is that we are ALL spiritual and we are ALL human. We make mistakes and we hopefully learn from them and grow.
If I want to release myself from these “negative” judgments I need to work on releasing others from these judgments, realizing that they are doing the best they can too. That they are on this same journey.
I release myself and others from this judgment. We are spiritual!
Peace,
Lisa
