Being More

As someone said about economic development, it is about “being more” and not about “having more.”  I would say it is the same with spiritual development.  We trying to focus on getting more stuff to satisfy some sense of lack in or around us.  Instead we pursue the spiritual practice in order to fill up the insides, the space in our heart, that no consumer purchase or vacation or geographic move, or partnering will fill up.  I seem to have less stuff now, but feel fuller with the focus on Spirit.
