Each time you explore this broader perspective, you build your awareness of the deeper reality that you truly live within. You appreciate that you really do are living in an infinite divine universe, of which the earth is a relatively small, but important part.

You may bring this broader perspective into each moment of your life, in order that you recognize that your particular spiritually mystical experiences are natural and ordinary, rather than rare or strange occurrences.

Your deeper recognition of reality goes beyond theory. It really is a deeply personal experience, and it helps you transcend ideas and books. Such books can be useful catalysts that inspire you, but only if you use the books as springboards for your own spiritual discoveries. At the specific point, you need to practice using your consciousness. Reading spiritual books provides you with a collection of thoughts, but spiritual awareness is much more than that.

This is why you may need to recognize, as you grow spiritually, that the books are just partially correct in what they say -- they can't really express deeper truths in mere words. The reason being your spiritual truth is only really validated through your own experiences with your consciousness. You may express your spiritual truth somewhat differently than the books, and for this reason the books are not entirely true. This is not to judge them, but just to recognize that your own spiritual experience is the real teaching.

Don't wait until you've read yet more books -- start exploring your consciousness today. These personally meaningful explorations are the ones that touch your heart, mind, and soul.

So do study, and do listen, although not within the uncritical way that many naive students do. Don't be impressed with any teaching merely since it sounds impressive, complex, or lofty. Let yourself have your own spiritual experience, and discover what you may learn from your experiences when you tune in to the universe directly.

Imagine that the divine consciousness of the universe itself is inviting you to study it. In so doing, you are studying about your own essential nature, and learning for your own self just why spiritual awareness is so meaningful.

Whether everybody else understands why you are doing this really is irrelevant. You are exploring your spiritual aura because it will be the mirror that reveals the deeper nature of reality, the face of God, the secrets of the cosmos, and the meaning of life. And every other fascinating reasons which are meaningful to you.

May each breath bring you in to the cosmic realization that you'll be a uniquely living and breathing expression of the divine. Look about you, and let yourself see that universal spark shimmering within everyone, and religion (sites) within everything.
