| ADJUSTMENT TIME NOW We have already mentioned in previous chapters that we experience the most emotionally painful, misery and suffering from losing our material well- being through either man-made or natural causes. Especially financial hardships, with more and more unemployment everyday; and in relationships, such as marriages. These are not isolated incidents, they are happening globally. We already emphasized that these things don't happen by chance or by accident. Almost everything happens with hidden or hiding reasons, and most of these reasons are ultimately for spiritually good purposes. As the old saying goes, “No pain, no gain.” Meaning without pain, suffering or loss, there is no opportunity for spiritual awakening or enlightenment. |
| As we should know, most crises are really opportunities to change ourselves, to transform ourselves for the better, with less limitation and more freedom (especially spiritually). The more we gain in terms of material, the more we lose spiritually, and vice versa. We do not notice this spiritual loss. Interestingly, the more material we lose, the better our awareness becomes, but only if we choose the spiritual path. With this new sense of spiritual awareness, we will notice the spiritual gain. Christ Said we cannot serve two masters at the same time. Meaning we can’t have materials and spirituality both be our masters at the same time. By choosing to pursue materials, we are unnaturally allowing temporary illusions (or things) to run our lives. By choosing to practice spirituality, we are naturally allowing our true self (soul) to be our master. |
