Spirituality is a dwelling that we can get to through meditation. The highest level of this dwelling is with God and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. However, getting to this place requires certain key attributes that must be fulfilled. It is a place where we come in peace and leave behind the world, sarcasm in thought, and all our accomplishments. In this house, there is no room for worldly wisdom. It is a place of mystery that desires our minds to be open and welcoming to receive what God has in store for us. If this is accomplished to the fullest then a feeling of peace descends upon us that transcends all the ill health, ill thoughts, misunderstandings or obstacles we may face. Our will is given to those who are far superior to us and we find a purpose in our existence. Below is a step by step guide to getting to this place.
- Anything is possible
The first step to spiritual meditation is in understanding that there are no limits for what can be achieved. God owns everything and is in everything. God does not come to us because we call his name. God is already in us and when we call his name we are opening our hearts to his eternal voice from within. It has been there before we were conceived and would continue to be there long after we are dead. This step in spiritual meditation requires patience in faith. If we know that all things are possible then we shall wait in faith for those things that we wish for without a doubt.
- The truth discussion
Once we are convinced from step one above that God is within us and we can hear his voice the next important thing is being honest with ourselves. This is when the voices in our heads take over. We must be honest when these discussions start. What we hide from or make excuses for in this place is what we shall carry with us for life. It is best to be honest to cleanse ourselves of the negative and heal from any mishaps that may have befallen us. Honesty with God is confessing our sins whether it is in thought or deed. Honesty with God is confessing our desires before him whether they are evil thoughts or otherwise. God is not a father that does not know our weaknesses. The fact is by being honest with him we are forgiving ourselves and accepting that we are imperfect before his eyes. There is no punishment for this but enlightenment. If we can do this wholeheartedly and truthfully then what follows is peace and understanding.
- Scripture
There is a limit to all that we can see. There is a limit to all that we can hear. There is a limit to all that we can taste or smell. This limit is in our understanding and not in the things themselves. They are out there for us but we are limited in our knowledge to comprehend them that is why this limit exists. There is no limit to the word of God and scripture. God will continue to open his word to us as long as we are willing to read it and understand it. Scripture is eternal, it is like the spirits we carry within us and must be written in our hearts and minds. Having these words in mind helps us bypass those limits in our sight, touch, smell, and hearing. Even the best songs created by us have a limited time of pleasure in meditation. However, there is no limit in God's word. It evolves within us and opens our senses to accept all that is around us.
- Enlightenment
This is the victory in spiritual meditation. It is the time we realize that we do not have to be sitting in a quiet room to hear the voice of God. It is the time we realize that it is not when we go on our knees to pray that God is beside us. It is the time we know that we can reach this place by the same token that we reach the regular places in our lives. Dwelling with God is anywhere and at anytime. There is no specific place, there is just the thought that he is there because we know his voice. With enlightenment, we walk with God, talk to God, live in God, and believe that he is in us.
These four steps in meditation cannot be determined by time or location. There is no right age to start or finish them. It is a lifelong journey of our existence and from any point that we start meditating in this way, we can reflect back to other moments in our lives and know that we had always been a part of it. In spiritual meditation time is endless and all doors, open or closed in our lives are connected. It is a meditation for eternity.
