WE ARE EXPLORING THE PRACTICE
OF DELIGHT
-- Robert Louis Stevenson
+ Change is the only constant and it’s our job to delight
in it. Go with the flow. At times you can be the change agent. More often you
simply allow change to happen, changes which are constantly coming at you from
all directions. It’s OK. Better than OK, delightful. When you are experiencing
life in the soul realm, you are always experiencing life as delightful, as a delicious
feast, a celebration, a party, an adventure. This is bliss. How sweet it is.
It’s wonderful to reach these Journey of the Soul
practices of Simplicity, Delight and Heavenliness. But even the
first stage of these practices, the Journey of the Mind practices. can offer
many tastes of heaven. Stillness
can turn into Simplicity.
Detachment can turn into Delight. Humility can turn into Heavenliness. Any one of
these practices can be delightful. So, celebrate. Enjoy. Be glad all over.
Delight
can be expressed as gratitude. Being thankful for life’s many gifts is a
delight in itself. Pause here to become aware of so many blessings which have
come your way and continue to come your way. If you are not smiling, laughing,
or even dancing at this point, then you simply haven’t given enough time and
effort to simply being grateful.
The practices of Simplicity and Delight come easily once Stillness, Silence, Solitude, Detachment, Discernment and Devotion have become regular
practices. I can’t emphasize enough how stillness is the key to heaven. Simply
be still and amazing things happen sooner or later. It can almost be said that
the rest of the practices come as gifts, as amazing grace, once the practice of
stillness is achieved.
You are delightful. You are simply heavenly. You are
amazing, fantastic, wonderful. You really are. That’s the truth.
+ Delight
is not one of the 37 Spirituality & Practice practices BUT put Delight in
their Search Engine and you come up with 85 items including 67 quotes, 16
books, 1 practice, and 1 film as of 6/14/16.
Go to http://www.spiritualityandpractice.com/search/?q=Delight. However, it is clear that Mary Ann &
Frederic Brussat are big fans of Joy.
Therefore, put Joy in their
Search Engine and you come up with 2057 items including 867 quotes, 835
books, 160 practices, 11 teachers, 24 arts links, 29 e-courses, 98 films, 26
blogs and 4 traditions as of 6/14/16. Oh, and Joy IS
one of the 37 spiritual practices. You can also be inspired by their
Twelves Gallery on Joy.
+ Joy will
come up again very soon in these explorations since it is the second of 9
heavenly attributes we will be exploring.
+ I would love it if you offered a guest post on this
practice or any practice. And, I have
work to do on my Delight page. Maybe you can help. Send an email with the subject “Delight”
or “Guest Post” to John@abundancetrek.com.
