“Somewhere just at the edge of the apparent end of a matter is a door to a place where we might put a breath into the sentences of our lives – a place where we are stripped of all questions where more than we can imagine takes place.” - Rob Wykes in Pause - A Spiritual Power Opportunities to enter a spiritual place are all around us but we often don't recognize them, opting instead to move on to the next thing. In his book, Pause - A Spiritual Power, author Rob Wykes helps people to identify those moments and enter places of ‘spiritual pause’ which exist ‘just at the fingertips of our mortal grasp.’ A former builder turned Chaplain and then charity Chief Executive, Rob trekked through Europe, India, Iran, and Pakistan as a young man, where he awakened to the deep and profound experiences that cross cultures. While he is a practicing Christian, the power of pause is not confined or defined by any one faith tradition. In this episode Rob defines pause as a spiritual power, talks about the importance of attending to the spiritual life, and shares his own pause experiences. Some of the things we talk about are: • There is much more to us than meets the eye • What is spirituality? • Categories don’t apply to our spiritual nature, so words can’t describe • God inhabits the spirit not the mental or emotional • Pause is when we get to the edge of the material • Why pause is a spiritual power • The spirit within us is fixed and needs no improvement • The soul, like the body needs feeding too • How prayer can be an internal conversation in our head • What ‘ask and it will be given’ really means • At the end of our mortal grasp is the spiritual realm; at the end of our prayers, we discover God • Unity and individual experiences • The importance of being expectant, waiting and listening Links: https://youtu.be/J8b9ho7vL0s https://robwykes.com/ https://www.facebook.com/rob.wykes.1 © the spiritual forum 2023
