A spiritual life

The start of a journey


Welcome to my new adventure.
My name is Oigen and I try to live a spiritual life. It is a struggle - often - sometimes - but no always! The name of the blog A spiritual struggle is less because I think it is a struggle, but due to the lack of available names!
But then a struggle might not attract us, because it is "work".
But most likely you also will agree that an easy victory means little to us, but a struggle where we had to give our best, also is a sweet victory!
Some time back I wrote a Blog Make love work. I like to write and I liked the discipline, the effort to write it regularly. I am not sure if I can maintain it with this blog. Not because I am less disciplined or lazier, but in my opinion because a spiritual adventure is not sequential. I might have a lot of advantures or realizations in a short time and then nothing for a long time.
I think it takes time for our human understanding to adjust to the spiritual adventures and their effects it has to our understanding (of the word).
I invite you to join me. You are welcome to become a regular reader, but I would appreciate it even more if you become a traveler on the quest to your own realization of what you are and maybe even further on to get a personal realization of God.

Today is Eid al Fitr mubarak, (I am aware that there are numerous ways to spell it) the end of the fasting month of our Muslim brethren. A good day to start a blog!

This is not a religious blog! But often our religion is the base from where we start our spiritual journey.
I invite you to comment my ideas and adventures, you are also invited to comment on comments, but kindly be aware that there is no right or wrong! Even if you feel something is wrong don't start with accusations or inappropriate comments, tell your side of the story, tell about your adventure.
IF you move towards a place in the inner world and you see and your Holy book says you will see an "orange light" And someone else with a different holy book states it is an olive light and s/he sees it - simply none of you might be wrong, you are just approaching it from a different direction. Imagine the truth or the Light of God is white
At the other side of the prism it is still the light of God, but spread into lots of different colors. Not everybody on the search for God sees the light right away. So if you see it, be happy but also be aware that you do not see all the light ( the full spectrum scientifically speaking), just the light that is visible from where your are (spiritually not locally).
This blog has no intention to lure you away from your religion! If you are not yet a saint on your path, then there is lots of space for you to grow withing your religion or believe system.
But if you have doubts or even if are full of doubts, feel free to explore the worlds of God on this side as well as on the other side of the Vail.
