Being spiritual has nothing to do with what you believe and everything to do with your state of consciousness.

The dog is still in the natural state. And you can easily see that, because you have problems and your dog doesn't. And while your happy moments may be rare, your dog celebrates life continuously.

Instead of fighting the darkness, you bring in the light.

The moment you become aware of the silence, you also have become silent.

Every challenge takes you a little deeper and awakens you again and again. Without the challenges, you probably would go to back to sleep. The challenges keep you awake.

When you can no longer feel the life that you are, you are likely to try to fill up your life with things.

People look to time in expectation that it will eventually make them happy, but you cannot find true happiness by looking toward the future.
