Hi Guy's I would say that If you are In full expression of what you are then you cannot be over doing It lol. So if your are In touch with your true self and you are being true to yourself then you can never be too spiritual . The term being too spiritual can have an attachment of being false - being something that you are not. Like a church goer who pretends to be holier than average joe  lol.

I think what you said was very accurate of how many people are out of balance in either extreme. I've known both types, and I've been a bit too spiritual before, and it can be difficult to come back to earth when a person is feeling like they want to float around and that this is the best way to be.

Simple but excellent and important point. I meet it as a challenge, though I'm in my beginning 20's. My primary career is very "physical" and you could label it materialistic/monetary. But there is an unavoidable spiritual longing inside that wants to develop a side/alternative career, in order to be of some kind of service. I literally can feel how bot sides are reciprocal too each other and drag you from one side to the other as a magnet. There more you can do and want do in your life, the more vital it is to understand balance. Emotions can otherwise get the best of you. ~sb |

I think I'm coming to a balance now. I've been too spiritual last year and gave heaps to others. This year is "my year", I decided I reap my good karma. I'm concentrating on more materialistic matters and getting better at business. And I don't feel bad for it, my numerology confirms that is what I'm meant to do this year anyway. I still "pray" and give thanks though, but I'm not "obsessed" by all the spiritual side of life or concentrating only on making my human fellows happy. This year I'm included in the people I make happy  .

Balance is not a favorite word of mine, but I resonate with the idea of the need to live in alignment with my truths. Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. ~Mahatma Gandhi |
