We are all spiritual beings. We were born in perfection and we will all return to perfection one day. Remembering this and living our lives from this place of awareness is the ultimate spiritual act. But somewhere along the way we disconnected from this truth and gave being "spiritual" an identity outside of ourselves. We began to imagine a "spiritual" person as someone we needed to work to be, and usually, someone we needed to sacrifice to be.

Before I had my NDE I was extremely "spiritual". I was always trying to pray more, meditate more, be of more service, and suppress my ego. I would have been considered "a good person" by the standards of any religion. Even when I first got sick I would push myself to keep volunteering, but I was dying of cancer so let's be honest, I wasn't much help! I was vulnerable and exhausted and I needed to be looking after myself, but I was so focused on "being spiritual" and reducing karma that I totally detached from the life I was living. I thought my soul wasn't good enough and I needed to be "spiritual" to be better.

It wasn't until I died that I realized that being spiritual isn't about sacrifice, it's the exact opposite! It's about filling yourself with so much love and joy that it flows out of you affecting everyone you come in contact with. We often shame abundance, but it's so much easier and feels so much better to do good for the world when we know that we ourselves are safe and full. I think back to my days volunteering and realize how much more good I would have done if I have been strong, healthy, and full of love. If I had approached others knowing there can be nothing wrong with me and that my soul has always been perfect.
