Episode 137 – How Do I Create Spirituality
“I can't tell you how to create spirituality. I can't tell you why you should or anything else. What I can share with you and intend to share is what I did, why I did it, and why I think it matters, especially in terms of creating your ultimate life.” - Kellan Fluckiger

What you are about to learn
Your ultimate life, I’ve been telling this my definition: a life of purpose, a life of prosperity, and a life of joy that's created as you serve others with your divine gifts. Part of that journey is spirituality for me. With my experience, I spent years living in a concise term. Going to work every day doing what I thought was a great job getting raises promotions, recognition, making good money, having season passes, and on and on and on. And at the end of the day, I was not happy, and the life I was living was undoubtedly nothing. So I failed on all the criteria at some level, and some of them entirely until spirituality entered my life in a big way. And I understood it, and I pursued it, and I acknowledged it and developed it.
What is Spirituality? Spirituality, as I'm using the word here, doesn't mean that you belong to a particular church or practice any specific form of religion. Spirituality is an acknowledgment that there is a higher purpose for life than merely the short term pleasure that we often pursue. We are indeed brothers and sisters, we are created with a divine purpose, and our Creator is a divine being, there is an intent to this earth and our place on it. And knowing that is the beginning of spirituality. Another explanation is that spirituality is the intentional focus development and creation of a connection with that larger self with God and the eternities, the other side of the veil, the unseen world, all that stuff. Why you'd want it? Spirituality opens the door to that guidance, power, comfort, and wisdom.
So what happens if I grow my spirituality? If you feel like you get intuition daily, and if cultivating that power is something you do or not, it didn't use to be something I did. If you wanted to grow your spirituality, the first thing you would do is say, “I want to grow my spirituality,” decide that you want some of that. Step one is to understand and acknowledge that there is something there. Step two is to want it. And step three is to be willing to figure out and follow whatever process path guidance rules there are to get that power.
How do I do that? Accept that there is such power, accept that a benevolent person or force is looking out for you. Allow them to help you on their terms, which means you have to relinquish some absolute control demand. How do I do that? Practicing as you do with anything else. Turn down the volume of fear. So for me, that was one of the most important things. Number one, being willing to relinquish the need to have absolute control. And number two is ready to turn down the volume of my demands, my thinking, my certainty that I was right and I knew best precisely what should happen and to be still and listen, and there's a scripture somewhere In the Old Testament, that says, Be still and know that I am God.
Key Takeaways
“I want you to honestly look in the mirror and in your heart to see if you know right this minute that there is a larger, more powerful spiritual dimension, that perhaps you would benefit from. If you would acknowledge it, develop it and let it play a larger role in your life.”
“Let's suppose for just a minute that, being wanted to help us want it to give us help, guidance, inspiration, comfort, or whatever was necessary. But that the rules are, they can't invade our privacy, as it were, or they can't force us to do things against our will. That seems to be one of the ground rules, at least in my experience. So if that's a rule, then that can't come to us until we are open. And we are seeking. So that's the answer to why you'd want it.”
“Developing your relationship with the divine is going to be something you do because you want it and because you've chosen to develop that. “
