SPIRITUAL EXPLORATIONS – 173

WE ARE EXPLORING THE PRACTICE OF SIMPLICITY


+ Inner solitude and Noble Silence is a way to empty, cleanse, heal, and renew the heart and mind. This is a voluntary way to start the process of simplification and personal downsizing. The peace will help you purify your perceptions and make presence of mind more acute, clear, spacious, and even luminous.  / Incredible satisfaction is available when you begin experiencing the timeless truth that less can actually be more; that the most elegant solution is often the simplest one. Gratitude and appreciation serve us better than attachment and grasping. Peace of mind is the inmost secret treasure.

+ You might be able to guess that I like the idea of connecting this practice of Simplicity to the Journey of the Heart practice of Silence and the Journey of the Body practice of Solitude.  The more we develop a comprehensive practice, the more we find it easy to experience “the timeless truth that less can actually be more; that the most elegant solution is often the simplest one.“  It really is all about “Letting go and Letting God.”

+ Simplicity is not one of the 37 Spirituality & Practice practices BUT put Simplicity in their Search Engine and you come up with 314 items including 117 quotes, 156 books, 11 practices, 9 teachers, 1 arts link, 11 e-courses, 7 films and 1 blog as of 6/4/16.  Go to http://www.spiritualityandpractice.com/search/?q=Simplicity

+ I would love it if you offered a guest post on this practice or any practice.  And, I have work to do on my Simplicity Page.   Maybe you can help.  Send an email with the subject “Simplicity” or “Guest Post” to John@abundancetrek.com.
