up:: [[Spirituality MOC]] Tags:: #🌱 # The ultimate goal of spirituality is to reach a state of persistently centered consciousness Practicing spirituality is the art of repeatedly recentering yourself as the experiencer behind your thoughts and emotions (see: [[You are not your thoughts or emotions but the experiencer behind everything]]). However, just because you manage to center yourself once doesn't mean you never have to again. You will fall back asleep. You will get pulled back into the trap of overly identifying with the world. In this way [[Becoming more spiritually enlightened is like building the habit of being able to lucid dream]]. [[Becoming spiritually awakened means stopping the habit of attachment with the self]]. This means reaching a state in which you are persistently centered in consciousness. There is always [[Flow is order in chaos|order in consciousness]] because every stimuli that comes into perception is a reminder to be aware. "Every change in your energy flow, whether it’s agitation of the mind or shifts in the heart, will be what reminds you that you are back there noticing." - Michael A. Singer from [[The Untethered Soul]]. Related:
