What is spiritual transformation?

ORANJESTAD - First let’s define transformation, Trans is from transcend, so we can say transfor-
mation is the process of transcending form, going beyond form. What form? Forms manifests in
different mannerisms, physical form can be the body and material objects. Mental forms are
thoughts. Emotional forms are the emotions that we feel such as pleasure, stress, anger, excite
mentioned, etc. So going beyond form and discovering another dimension that exists within
us and around us aside from all types of forms.
Spiritual transformation occurs when the spirit, our soul, recognizes it’s true self and discovers
that it is not a form itself but it is beyond form. Thus reminding itself and revealing to itself its
true nature and thus goes through an experience of going beyond what it has accumulated
through thoughts, ideas, emotions and goes through what we call transformation within a hu-
man body. Dissolving of the ego is the major experience of a human being at this phase and
lots of other major changes do occur as the soul awakens to itself, transforming the life experi-
ences and situations of the native plus a transforming of beliefs and ideas to a more wholly
and unifying state instead of the previous individualistic or the belief. Of a little me which is the
ego.q

Suresh Mirchumal is a spiritual writer. “Well, you can categorize it like that, although I don’t call
myself one. These thoughts come in effortlessly.” His aim is in a way to reach out to whoever
gets inspired or has an eye opening event within them that may transcend their current state
of consciousness. “Or let’s say current emotional state too. If one in a thousand benefits, that
is already great.” Due to the current world state, lots of struggles and stresses, we seem to
lose touch with that inner peace that we long for, Suresh explains. “I wish to ease that through
these small articles or tidbits.” You will find his tidbits in Aruba Today from now on, mostly on
Tuesdays and Thursdays.
