What Changes in our Life With Spiritual Awareness

A baby spends much of his/her time playing with his feet for no other reason than they are there, and he is connected to all things.

Consciously he becomes a two part person of mind and body, forgetting his spirituality; his connection to all things.
Although he is reaching out in his world to explore where he lives and where he does not, his world becomes smaller as his curiosity about the most obvious and most accessible, fades. It is very much like giving all your attention to your hands – the doers – and less on the parts that take you there – the feet. You spirit and your feet take you where you want to go; and where is that – it’s anyplace you choose?
