How To Know Which Spiritual Gift You Have

Here are several symptoms that you're going through or about to go through a spiritual awakening:

How can I see my spiritual eyes?

• Pray with your eyes closed. You don't have to close your eyes, but there's something about tuning into God's realm and shutting out the earthly sphere that allows us to see what He sees.

Your actions match your plans

You develop large goals and then follow through with the necessary actions. The big intentions you have for yourself and the routines you follow every minute of every day are inextricably linked. You make the tiny, previous plans that you know will bring you there when you outline your major plans. You're enthralled by every step of the process because it's all leading to you realizing your vision for your life and your place in the world.

What are spiritual symbols?

If you're just getting started with yoga, studying eastern religion, or learning more about spirituality, you've probably come across a few symbols: the Om symbol, a chakra chart, and a lotus flower. So, what exactly do they all stand for? Here's a rundown of the meanings and histories of some of the most common spiritual symbols to help you meaningfully and respectfully incorporate them into your own practice:

What is the gift of vision?

People today are groaning for God's people to step forward, claim their rightful place in God's Kingdom, and step up to the plate. But how can someone achieve that if they don't even have a vision for their own life? Father God wants you to understand why you were born and what your true role is on this planet! For you, he has a destiny – a plan. I'm not sure how individuals exist outside of Christ's canopy when they are surrounded by hopelessness, uncertainty, moral decay, trauma, and dread. Just pay attention to the people in the post office or in the break room at work. There are a lot of people who don't have a clear vision for their lives and don't know how to get one. Others have a vision, but they are mired in a quagmire of confusion or past transgressions, unsure of what to do next. Then there are individuals who had a vision but gave up on it due to disappointment, failure, or discouragement.

So, how does a person regain their life's vision? Our life aren't some sort of divine experiment with a cruel God, but rather a Providence-directed mission to fulfill the precise reason you were born. God wants us to rediscover our passions and believe in our dreams. Your vision is waiting for you to take action! Let's take a closer look at this concept known as vision, which controls our own fate.

Ask yourself this question if you take a time to be quiet and take a fearless look at your life. Is your life a reflection of who you are and who you've always wanted to be? Are the folks who work next to you every day aware of the person you've always wanted to be? Maybe you feel like it takes everything you've got just to get through each day with your current responsibilities. Are you linked to the Source in such a way that you know exactly what you're supposed to be doing right now? Are there gifts and talents within you that you have yet to discover or have been dormant for a long time? What is your ambition? What is something you've always wanted to do? What do you believe God has called you to accomplish that you are currently not doing? Never give up on your ambitions! Vision is the ability to glimpse the future before it occurs.

God gave us vision so that we wouldn't have to rely solely on what we can see. Sometimes the terms vision and revelation are used interchangeably. To reveal means to reveal something that was always there but couldn't be seen from the outside.

Consider the following analogy. A spruce cone's destiny is to become a tree. You may see the tree within the seed if you have confidence. Because you recognize the seed's potential, you have a mental image of it. The same can be said of you and me. God created us for a reason, and it's already completed in God's eyes, because God sees us in the same way we see a spruce cone. He understands that He has given us the ability to see it through. Faith is the substance of what you aspire to achieve, the proof of what you can see when others can't. Your ideal is, in fact, your reality. Think about it! What do you notice about yourself?

I am convinced that if you don't have a vision, you will only rehash the past's disappointments and failures. As I counsel my clients, I occasionally see it. It's what we call “the comfortable.” Because it is all we have ever known, fear can lead us to embrace the same misery over and over again. As a result, vision is essential for breaking free from previous patterns.

Simply looking around will reveal that you are surrounded by people who are busy but not necessarily effective or satisfied. As a result, they spend their lives toiling away, following the same old patterns and never making any progress. Perhaps you have similar feelings about yourself.

Many people's dreams never come true because they can't make up their minds whether or not to pursue them. Long-term indecisiveness destroys one's vision and saps one's enthusiasm in life. People who can't make a decision are often the happiest people on the planet.

What is the spiritual eye?

The third eye (also known as the mind's eye or inner eye) is a mystical and esoteric idea of a theoretical unseen eye that gives perception beyond ordinary sight. It is frequently represented as being positioned on the forehead.

The ajna (or brow) chakra is referred to as the third eye in Indian spiritual traditions.

The portal that leads to the inner realms and areas of higher consciousness is referred to as the third eye. In spirituality, the third eye frequently represents enlightenment. Religious visions, clairvoyance, the ability to perceive chakras and auras, precognition, and out-of-body experiences are all linked to the third eye. People who are claimed to be able to use their third eyes are frequently referred to as seers. The third eye is claimed to be positioned in the middle of the forehead, just above the junction of the eyebrows, in Hinduism and Buddhism, and represents enlightenment gained through meditation. Hindus also wear a “tilaka” between their brows to symbolise the third eye, which may also be seen on Shiva's face. Buddhists refer to the third eye as the “eye of consciousness,” a vantage point from which one might gain enlightenment beyond physical sight, and they use an urna in the same way that Hindus do.

“Third eye training” in Taoism and many traditional Chinese religious groups like Chan (called Zen in Japanese) entails focusing concentration on the point between the eyebrows while the eyes are closed and the body is in various qigong positions. The purpose of this training is for pupils to learn how to tune into the correct “vibration” of the cosmos in order to build a stable foundation on which to go to a more advanced meditative state. According to Taoism, the third eye, also known as the mind's eye, is located between the two physical eyes and, when opened, stretches up to the middle of the forehead. According to Taoism, the third eye is one of the body's key energy centers, located at the sixth Chakra and part of the main meridian, which connects the left and right hemispheres of the body. The third eye is the frontal part of the “Upper Dan Tien” (upper cinnabar field) in Taoist alchemical traditions, and it is given the evocative moniker “muddy pellet.”

The third eye, according to followers of theosophist H. P. Blavatsky, is the partially inactive pineal gland that lies between the two hemispheres of the brain. A third parietal eye—a feature connected with the pineal gland—serves to control reptiles and amphibians' circadian rhythms and for navigation, as it can perceive polarization of light. C. W. Leadbeater believed that developing microscopic and telescopic vision could be accomplished by stretching a “etheric tube” from the third eye. Stephen Phillips claims that the third eye's microscopic eyesight is capable of viewing objects as small as quarks. According to this idea, humanity had a genuine third eye in the back of the head with both physical and spiritual functions in ancient times. This eye atrophied and sunk into what is now known as the pineal gland as humans evolved. Rick Strassman believes that the pineal gland, which regulates light sensitivity, is also responsible for the generation and release of DMT (dimethyltryptamine), an entheogen that might be excreted in huge amounts at the time of birth and death.
