About the Blog

Continued from previous post ...

The following two decades were focused on my career, but my mind was never far from thinking about stuff that was philosophical, spiritual, mystical. I never stopped wondering about the meaning of life, and the role we play. I continued reading Buddhist books, articles – anything I could find on Buddhism.

A decade ago, when my career was tapering off, I again spent time looking for answers. I took courses in Reiki, (I am actually a Master practitioner in Reiki), read extensively on New Age practices like Crystal Healing, Aura Reading, Tarot Cards Reading, Colour Healing, Sound Therapy … I was curious about these New Age Therapies and I tried to read all about them. I also took up Tai Chi, Qi Kong and Traditional Chinese Massage.

I realised one common factor in the New Age therapies. All deal with Energy and the chanelling of energy. If we take away the different methods of practice, it all boils down to how we harness the energy that is all around us for our own use. It is the same with all religions. Basically all religions are the same. They teach us to do good, not to harm or kill, not to steal, to be kind etc… So, if you are already being a nice human, you have no need of religion, especially now when Religion has become very divisive.

I believe I have acquired the basics in my spiritual journey. Now, it’s a matter of continuing my learning and most importantly, to practice what I have learned. There is still much to learn. As long as we are open minded and willing to learn, we will be rewarded. The seeking of knowledge ends when our sojourn in this life ends - when the Vital Life Force leaves us.

In conclusion, the spiritual journey, although rewarding, can be very lonely at times. This is because we walk the path alone. We might meet like-minded people on the way. They may give us encouragement and support, but ultimately, we have to carry on ourselves, one step at a time. No short cuts, no helping hands. Our destination is the same but our individual journeys are different. However, persevere, and surely, we will be rewarded for our efforts. This I believe!

I don’t know what’s ahead for me, but I am soldiering on – one tiny step at a time!
