Living a spiritual life should be fun

[Spirit of Light]

As a religious or spiritual person, are you having fun?
Or maybe you are as I used to be, taking it way too serious all the time, and not finding the inner child?

Of course, the practice is a serious matter, and it does take a lot of energy to watch yourself in speech, action, and thoughts. But when the child from within starts peeking out, you can realize that going back to the innocence of a child's mind actually help the spiritual person to relax, and to enjoy the life we have now. it also helps open up the investigator and curiosity of how we used to be as a child

So if you see a spiritual Guru having fun, you know they have seen their own inner child

Spirituality can be fun at times. Why shouldn't it be?

Many people take it dead serious and cant handle humor within their religious practice, I used to be one of them
I even heard they say humor belong in hell what da hell

I've been working on Navaratri decorations the last few days. Its fun.

I agree, overall. I find many aspects of my religious practices to be fun.

Paganism is absolutely fun. I have a Holy day every 6 to 7 weeks. And get to be in tune with the natural world and seasons around me. While simultaneously honoring the Gods, my Ancestors and the Spirits that are all around us.

And I'm fond of a good pagan joke too .
How many Druids does it take to screw in a light bulb?
They don't screw in light bulbs, they screw in stone circles.

I have moments of quiet joy.

Rediscovering the inner child is wonderful.

dead serious

There's a big reason it's "deadly serious" as an expression. Because being too serious is deadly.

Letting go of seriousness about one's religion may be one thing.
Finding one's inner child may be another.

What do you think? Have you seen your inner child?
What do they look like?

I can't say i seen it, but I feel it arising from within me. The change in my way of looking at my own life, the humor that has become more child like. I do not take my self very serious anymore, meaning, I can joke about my own being. And so on

 

[JustGeorge]

I'm not sure my inner child and I ever separated.

When I was a child, I felt like an adult. I still feel like somewhat of an adult-child...

I'm not sure but it made me think about the times I'm able to disconnect from my mind/body and sit back watching myself go about whatever it is I'm doing.
Maybe it's the disconnection from the immediate physical self that allows me to take an unbiased interest in the world around me along with some self amusement as I watch myself responding to it.

That do sound like one form of finding the inner child

That happens to me unexpectedly sometimes. Its weird. My size even feels different.
