WE ARE EXPLORING THE PRACTICE
OF DEVOTION
+ The Sufis believe
that every aspect of daily life has potential as a devotional practice. Every
bodily movement has its source in the divine. Everything we do, everything seen
or heard, tasted or touched, can be undertaken as a devotional practice. This
level of devotion brings us into a new relationship with the ongoing creation
as we realize that the entire universe is dependent upon the creative energy
that vitalizes each and every moment.
— Rabbi David A. Cooper in Silence,
Simplicity & Solitude
+ Yes, there is a vital connection between Devotion and the Body. Ultimately, the body is a mystery. The earthly body clearly has limits but we
already have more, far more. We have a
heavenly body. But let’s not undervalue
the earthly body which is a miraculous gateway to heaven even before we realize
that we have this heavenly body.
Many mystics have declared that our earthly body is a
provisional representation of the Soul.
We will explore this mystery a lot more when we get to the Journey of
the Soul and its practices of Simplicity,
Delight and Heavenliness.
+ Spirituality & Practice offers
many resources on the spiritual
practice of Devotion. You can
explore even more with this link to
“Devotion” on their search engine. You will find 2153 items as of
4/26/16. And, of course, there is a Twelves
Gallery of Memes on Devotion. The meme comes from that gallery. The
Body also gets a lot of attention from S&P as you can see if you go to this link to
“Body” on their search engine. You will find 1611 items as of 4/26/16.
+ I would love it if you offered a guest post on this
practice or any practice. And, I have
work to do on my Devotion page. Maybe you can help. Send an email with the subject “Devotion” or
“Guest Post” to John@abundancetrek.com.
