This blog is about having or living a spiritual life. Do you remember in my blog from the Dec 11. I had a picture which states that a religious life is following the experience of another person and a Spiritual Life if is following yours own spiritual experiences.
This blog is about my spiritual life. I still like this statement and I think it is a really nice way to explain the two terms or to differentiate them
As a spiritual person I like to be good. No, not so good that I can walk over the water, but so good that I do not hurt other people willingly.
Last week I published a book (How to Find a Foreigner Husband) and published it as a live event in my facebook page.
I got a fancy remark and answered in a similar way, which I found quite funny. After all a spiritual life does not need to be a dull life or as my father used to put it: "No need to show off by wearing sack and ashes."
A short time after that I got a private messages from a dear friend telling my that people might think I am a human trafficker because I used the term "importing"! Have a look yourself if you like. (you need to scroll down a little!)
I am know to be overly frank and direct and I am sure my friend only had the best intention.

Living a spiritual life, does it mean I do only what I like?  I am not sure. But I am sure doing what I love to do is nice. I like to write and if I write I sit at my computers for days and weeks . Some years back I liked to do programming, and as a Programmer I was sitting at my computer for days and weeks, sometimes month. Don't get me wrong like that, I am perfectly happy - being alone. And for me not to forget that me too are part of the human race I do some chatting. And to grow spiritually, aside from my spiritual exercises for 30 min a day, I watch films to see patterns of human behavior and I like movies when the character is confronted with a dilemma.

But by living a spiritual life I cannot ignore truth! And truth can be painful. At least for me here and now. I live in my perfect writing universe and truth is knocking at my universe telling me !Pay the bills" and the universal quake re-vibrates and tells me I am an "Escapist"

Maybe it would be easier to live a normal life?

But ---- do I have a chance?
