I used to think that spiritual consciousness consisted of thinking about God all the time, every day. But I have realized that thinking about anything all the time would be impossible for a normal, healthy mind; that my spiritual growth is a matter of my heart’s increasing acceptance of God; that the Holy Spirit resides within me in an unconscious, motivational way. My improving behavior, forgiving attitude, and calm reaction to life’s changing circumstances are constant reminders of the extent to which God occupies my inner mind. My growth shows in my actions.
