Why You Should Seek Spiritual Alignment
It makes your life a lot easier.
‘Alignment’ is a state of agreement and union. When you seek spiritual alignment, you are existing in agreement with higher forces — the greater, divine system of the universe. This is really hard for many of us humans because there seem to be so many reasons not to be in alignment — so many temporary pleasures to pursue and so many distractions to be had. It’s easy to get swept away in the mundane world where you can be wasteful, greedy, nasty, selfish, and cruel and get away with it.
Being in spiritual alignment means that you choose moral and compassionate actions. Truly spiritual people know that there is a greater force surrounding us, aware of our behavior and our innermost thoughts. It’s the universe. It is a loving consciousness that only wishes us to reach our highest good. It forgives us for our faults, but it encourages us to do right by ourselves and the world around us. To act with full knowledge of this at all times is to be in alignment.
But there’s more. Alignment means that your desires are the same as that great force that surrounds you. Our egos create separation so that we can be individuals, but at a soul level, we are one with all things. The ego creates desires for things that are temporary and fleeting — often of very low significance compared to what the soul desires. The ego wants status, relationships for the wrong reasons, material possessions, security, and physical pleasure. The soul wants pure happiness and freedom. It knows that we are all connected, so it wants the happiness of all beings. To be in alignment means to be living from the soul level.
