"OUT OF THE DARKNESS" POST 73

Spirituality, at it's core, involves a sense of connection; connecting to something larger than yourself and gathering in all your beliefs, values and practices.  
It is a personal journey of exploration that can manifest in alot of various ways.  It can be organized religion or personal practices.  
When you take a deeper dive, there are key aspects of spirituality.  Spirituality is a deeply personal journey.  A journey that will be as different for each person as the individual personality traits we all have. What will feel right for some, may be totally foreign for others.  In my case, a formal church service seemed far away from what I needed.  I wanted a deeply personal relationship with my creator; something I was not able to accomplish inside the church.  The next person will feel what is right for them, in their own heart, just as I did.
I found what resonates with me on a completely different path than I was on previously.  My spirituality, for me, holds an overwhelming desire in helping others.  This is a very important part of my life's purpose.  
Some people can find spiritual connection through community, whether within a religious congregation or simply connecting with likeminded individuals.  Spirituality can be a catalyst for personal growth and transformation.  It helps you to navigate challenges in life, find inner peace and lead a more meaningful life.  
While spirituality is often associated with religion, it is not the same thing.  Spirituality can exist outside organized religion, or it can also be part of a religious framework.  It is incredibly diverse as there is no single 'right way' to be spiritual.
The spiritual world consists of the unseen realities that lie beyond the grave.  There are different states of the afterlife.  The first state immediately after crossing over, people are essentially the same as they were in life. They retain all their memories, beliefs and attitudes towards things, and may even manifest the same surroundings that they had on earth.  When people first enter the spiritual world, they often meet friends and relatives who crossed over before them.  Spouses will be reunited, although not necessarily forever.  The spiritual world is a place where a person's inner nature becomes the whole of their being.  If two people were truly of one mind on earth, they will live as spouses in Heaven too.  However, if they were unhappy, or their personalities were fundamentally different, they will eventually part ways.  Those who do not find love on earth,  will eventually find their perfect match, as no one will be alone unless they choose to be.
In the second state after death, 
a person will become aware of the deeper parts of their inner nature. They start speaking what they truly believe and feel and act accordingly without worrying about appearances or making other people happy.  We will seek out kindred spirits because that is where we feel at home.
The third state is when a spirit is  ready for instruction on how the heavenly realm works including how the individual can contribute and how the community can supply the individual's needs.  
All people arrive in to the spiritual world as equals.  
Heaven has three levels:
Celestial, Spiritual and Natural...
At the highest celestial point, the Divine is located, described as a living Sun, radiating Divine truth throughout creation.  Heaven is a collective entity,  just as we are made up of different cells and atoms necessary for our body to function as a whole.
God is closer to us than the beating of our own heart; the very essence of life, love and wisdom itself, and the source of all that exists.
