For me it is very practical!

I do not sit cross-legged on the flooring saying "ohm" all day. That would not work in my life.

I am close to god-source, though. I get closer all the time.

I am not living in a dream world. I am not lying to myself. I am not floating around, oblivious to the world around me. I simply see it differently than I did before and than a lot of those around me see it.

I work. I have responsibilities. I have friends. My clients like me. I am close to my family. I am not shutting life out to "be spiritual." I AM spiritual in my life.

For me it has been a deep, inner transformation. When I say "I am grateful for life" I am not "just" saying that... I feel it with every fiber of my being! There was a time I would say it and not feel anything. Now I say it and feel great love flow through me.

Spirituality is such a deeply personal thing. How do you express the change that goes on deep in your soul so someone on the outside can even begin to comprehend it? They see the world through their filters and your description is lost in their own fog of thoughts. They can't begin to understand.

But, yes, it is VERY practical in my life.

I am starting a new business that is on it's way to being very successful (plus my current business is flourishing). I am public-speaking, I am talking to lawyers and government officials about our business. I am meeting potential employees and clients. I am starting networking groups in my city. I am doing it all by being close to god-source. That's pretty practical if you ask me.
