There are many ways of expressing divine love and this is the focus of the true spiritual being in full possession of their awareness in the grand scheme of things. When you are able to be with Creator, and talk with Creator, and have an audience with Creator, you will truly know the scope of your reach and what your true standing is in our eyes, so to speak. Then you will do works of greatness simply because of who you are, and you will have boundless energy, and intelligence, and wisdom, to draw on. This is only a baseline because we expect great things of you to take you beyond our imaginings. This is the power available to you, and the potential available to you. You can reach out from where you are now in profound and wondrous ways. Every act of loving kindness is a spiritual act. It is a form of prayer. It is saying to the world and signaling to divine realm "I want love to go to this animal, or to this child, or to this homeless person I see, or to this person who seems so anguished, and upset, and in despair as I do my grocery shopping". There are countless opportunities for the expression of love and to give love to oneself. This is not being selfish. This is simply safeguarding the soul and honoring Creator in yet another way. You can worship at a shrine or you can worship everyone around you. All are extensions of Creator. All are saints in the making. Everyone has value and everyone is loved by Creator and if they were loved by you darkness would have no place to live. This is the power you have as a spiritual being. There are infinite ways you can practice being spiritual, praying to God is only one. There are many ways of being a divine agent in spreading your love and your compassion, and your desire for betterment. And this is what we are recommending for the great outreach that needs to happen to get all on board realigning with the divine realm to help humanity. It's in effect aligning people with a similar intention to have love rule once again. If you look at all the darkness through human culture, whatever it is and whatever form it takes, an inadequate, over‑expensive, depersonalizing, arbitrary and heartless heath care system is only exhibiting myriad ways love is absent but needs to be added. These are an example of the many ways you can act individually and collectively to be spiritual and have a spiritual practice that will make a difference.
