I will speak about this again with the three same subheadings I have just named. First, it would be a life lived in relationship to the same spirit which Jesus knew in His own experience. It would mean that the Christian life would not be very much about believing, which I also mentioned yesterday, and would not be about believing for the sake of Heaven later, but it is about the transforming relationship with God in the present. Indeed, I see this to be the central meaning of spirituality. Spirituality I define as becoming conscious of and intentional about our relationship to God.
Spirituality is about becoming conscious of that relationship.
I say intentional because I see spirituality as being about paying attention to that relationship, being intentional about deepening that relationship and letting that relationship grow. Just as human relationships grow and deepen through spending time in them and paying attention to them, so also our relationship with God grows in this same way. Secondly, a life that takes Jesus seriously as a disclosure of what a life full of God is like would be a life lived by the alternative wisdom of Jesus. The alternative wisdom of Jesus, the way less traveled, is, in fact, the same as a life lived in relationship to the spirit. The wisdom of Jesus leads us into a radical centering in the Sacred, in God.
