Soul knows we are ready , even if we don ’ t feel ready .
New perspectives that are developed after having a spiritual experience are :
A belief that a higher intelligence or power in the universe is watching over you .
Showing you that your Soul has a purpose , and that it is your job to discover what this purpose is .
Eventually giving one an increase in their intuition and creativity , which connects their personality with their Soul and increases their life energy .
The fear of dying is lost knowing it is just a transition to another place , which now makes life more meaningful .
In watching the process of spiritual experiences , I have also learned that entertainment and consumption in our material , sensory world does not create meaning . That most people want something more in their life that is meaningful .
How does one start to be more spiritual ? Number one would be to lower your mental level in your life – Stop Thinking . Spend more time in meditation , gardening , walking the dog , being in nature . Relax and KNOW there is something higher waiting for you once you stop to listen and see .
