Mindful doing becomes being

 Spirituality 1.0 is the acknowledgement that all is not well. Maybe it’s the desire to live without conflict at work or in a partnership. Maybe it’s the insight that without a change we are just bound to repeat the mistakes of our parents, just as our children are at risk to fall into the same trap when their time comes. Maybe it’s the acknowledgement of goals and fears that we have never even admitted to ourselves, and we finally have to guts to go after them or face them. 

 

Religion and spirituality imply the risk of projection and by-passing. Instead of going after what is meaningful to us and doing the inner work, we attend seminars and workshops on God, non-duality and our higher self which supposedly has all the answers. The more depraved we are inside the more religious and fanatic we become. The quest for spirituality and well-being is Spirituality 1.0; the inner realization of well-being and the cessation of self is the real deal, or spirituality 2.0.

 

Upgrades and breakthroughs happen instantaneously, they do not happen in time. Success can be both ways; we may realize the futility of having more material comforts as we pursue them, and break through to the experienced abundance within, or we may realize the futility of all materialistic striving as we discover the stillness within. We reach the stage when doing becomes being while doing, or while going within. The important realization is that spirituality 1.0 and 2.0 can both be tackled at the same time.

 

You are looking for the breakthrough to “being, consciousness, bliss”? Do what everyone else does and look to find happiness. Different from most though, be still while doing and be on the lookout for the ever-prevailing consciousness that is yours to capture once you get your self out of the Way. Mindful doing becomes being. Spirituality 1.0 becomes 2.0 once we open up to the higher energies that bring about the external manifestation of the inner state of well-being.
