So, what is\u00a0Spiritual Right Action<\/em>?<\/p>\r\n

In\u00a0The Four Sacred Secrets<\/em>, Spiritual Right Action \u201cis performed when we\u2019re no longer desperately trying to control the flow of life but, instead, are responding to life as it arises from a powerful state of consciousness.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

That, in and of itself, is a powerful spiritual practice.<\/p>\r\n

Speaking for myself, the real question becomes:\u00a0Can I give up my doubts, my fears, my monkey mind, and step into the absolute knowingness that I am always connected to that which created all, is all, sees all, and knows all?<\/em><\/p>\r\n

I\u2019m good at this when life is going well. But when I\u2019m thrown a curveball, I sometimes forget. I want to start controlling people, places, and things \u2014 because in that moment, I evidently think I know more than, as Ernest Holmes so lovingly called it,\u00a0The Thing Itself<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n

When Life Throws a Curveball<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Recently, as many of you know, our bank account was hacked. By the time I caught it, the hackers had taken over $7,000.<\/p>\r\n

I\u2019ll be honest \u2014 I got caught up in the fear, the anger, and the guilt. Yes, guilt. Because as smart as I like to think I am about scammers and hackers, I had let them into my account.<\/p>\r\n

It took three long days and a mountain of frustration to finally get fraud tickets issued with my bank. Once that happened, I went from feeling like a victim to just feeling\u2026 numb.<\/p>\r\n

On the fourth day, I was pulled out of my funk by an amazing community of people whose energy helped lift me. Then, on the fifth day, I wrote a letter to God. I said:<\/p>\r\n

\u201cI know my money that was removed from my account is put back easily and effortlessly, and it is done quickly.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

I dissolved my inner conflict and let it go.<\/p>\r\n

On day six, all the money was returned to our account.<\/p>\r\n

What I Learned<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

What I realized \u2014\u00a0finally<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 was that not only had the hackers stolen our money, I had let them steal my peace of mind. I had let them pull me away from my faith and fill me with doubt, fear, and self-recrimination.<\/p>\r\n

The truth is, my emotions and my responses to what life throws at me are\u00a0my responsibility<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n

I\u2019m not suggesting we avoid our emotions. I\u2019m suggesting we become acutely aware of them \u2014 and then consciously decide whether we\u2019re willing to change how we feel about something.<\/p>\r\n

How I Return to My Sense of Self<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Here are the steps I use to move through stuck emotions and return to the knowingness of my innate perfection:<\/p>\r\n
