How important is spirituality in your life?

Just recently, I had a conversation about paper in which, so they say, we trust with our beings( or some despise?), about greed , about Shakespeare and his Merchant of Venice, and the fight between generosity and greed. 

I tried to enlighten one judge about the greed and money and, with that, to tickle the soul that recognizes following words from the Merchant of Venice

“All that glisters is not gold,
Often have you heard that told;
Many a man his life hath sold
But my outside to behold:
Gilded tombs do worms infold.”

I succeeded as I saw the eyes, which are as you know the mirror of the soul, shine for a mere two seconds and then to go to the same expression as they were before. Does not matter as the soul sent the message that it exists that we all need time to digest it by ourselves as they, again those “they” made us afraid to freely express ourselves what ever position we occupy!.

So my first aim has been done. I planted the seed! Spiritual seed.

Not to be against material, but to help balance between needs and wants!

To be honest, when I saw the reaction I continued saying that I wrote a comment somewhere against greedy creatures we still call human beings. I mentioned names we all know and some of us despise their stupidity they exposed when the times were difficult. Like lockdowns! I continue suggesting that all those greedy, insatiable creatures should be forced to eat, to chew all that paper money till they choke! Maybe some of them who would survive will get the message that their desire to have more of more for more to more by more and more can be very dangerous for their existence. That includes all creatures in every corner of the earth and from all the religions, color, believes, ideas and social standing! Then I asked my now dear judge what those who have and those who have not have in common? Well, it is not difficult to find out if you have freed your mind from the excesses of any kind!

It is a headache! Those who have have a headache as they want to keep that what they have and to make more and more while those who do not have have a headache thinking how to get more and more as well, just to survive and cover their needs.

I got a nonexcepted but desired “ha” and a smile as an answer and I was so happy to confirm that all of us, those haves and have-nots have another thing in common! Soul! Some of us are using it more, some less, but all of us still have it. When we connect this simple finding with consciousness our cognitive power rises to unprecedented levels. Then spirituality is born.

Soul develops spirituality and balance our desires! Soul, when is let to work protects us from all the material excesses that are crippling our innate goodness, compassion and suppressing our need for togetherness.

Then we can answer the question asked by so many of us  –  What are we doing here?

The answer is simple. We are here to share our spirituality with other human beings, making this earth clean of any manipulation, brainwashing, and insidious divide and rule policies!

And that we can show and do in practice! Starting from today, we put seeds of spirituality everywhere, we balance, we are steady, incorruptible, with integrity, and a lot of love to project it to all in need. Including ourselves!
