what is spiritual?

When one senses one’s way deeper into this cellular vitality, one undertands that every step taken along the path is essential, both personally and evolutionarily, to feel into the sensitivity of this human form.

Then the increasing consciousness of humanity feels so ordinary – so straight forward and inevitable – that it feels unnecessary to call this developmental path ‘spiritual.’ Maybe it’s that ‘spiritual’ denotes to me otherliness, a moving towards, rather than THIS-ness.  That spirituality today is happening for many people alongside and within a daily life and is less and less even necessarily defined as ‘spiritual’. I would call the path I have been on all these years a spiritual path, if I had to call it something. But I havent needed to call it spiritual for it to be truly that which carries the voltage of the great mains supply and to be part of an unfolding.

The formative somatic work is to my mind simply a committed experience of being this instrument. If one is a flute, say, and there is constriction or corrosion, one is not going to be easily played by life, by that which wants to hear itself sung though the human form.  So as the conscious mind is brought volitionally to noticing how any constriction or edgelessness is being shaped, that distortion of form can be influenced, forming a personal self. There can then be less distortion to what is expressed through the human form. But while there are distortions, in the normal developmental way, there needs to be tenderness and interest. To keep moving. To find that tenderness over, and over, and over, until that is all that is there is to find.
