Recognizing the Signs of a Spiritual Writer
Written on
Chapter 1: Understanding Spiritual Writing
How can one determine if they possess the qualities of a spiritual writer? This question doesn't have a straightforward answer since everyone's journey is unique. However, after exploring numerous spiritual authors and their life stories, I've identified common traits among them.
Notable figures such as Eckhart Tolle, Michael Singer, D?gen, St. John of the Cross, St. Teresa of Jesus, Rumi, and Ram Dass exhibit three distinct signs that may resonate with you.
Section 1.1: Prioritizing the Message Over Monetary Gain
The nature of reality is multifaceted; although we all exist in the same world, our perspectives vary significantly. Each individual interprets reality through their own experiences, which influences how they convey their insights.
Consider how different people perceive a book:
- To a physicist, it's merely a compilation of atoms.
- For a bestselling author, it represents a means to financial success.
- An economist may view it as a prestigious calling card.
- For a grandparent writing a diary, it serves as a timeless gift for future generations.
However, for a spiritual writer, a book transcends these definitions. It becomes a conduit for transmitting a message that resonates deeply, even if it eludes complete understanding. If your primary goal is to share a meaningful message rather than to optimize sales, you are likely on the path of a spiritual writer.

Section 1.2: Writing from Inner Urgency
When you are a spiritual writer, an intrinsic force compels you to write. You feel a burning desire to express your message, and the only way to release it is through your writing. Regardless of your formal writing education or the polish of your style, your heartfelt expression will resonate with readers.
I often liken a spiritual writer to a curious worm. This worm gathers insights from its surroundings and eventually retreats into a cocoon, reflecting on its experiences. In time, it emerges as a butterfly, demonstrating to others that transformation is possible.
Spiritual writers draw from their own lives, using their experiences as lessons for others, guiding those who are still struggling to find their wings.
Chapter 2: The Role of Ego in Spiritual Writing
A spiritual writer understands that their work transcends personal recognition. They write not for applause or validation, but to uplift and assist others.
Authentic spiritual writers do not position themselves above their audience. Instead, they offer support, helping readers navigate obstacles that hinder their progress. They aspire for their readers to surpass their own achievements, imparting wisdom gained from personal trials.
An exceptional spiritual writer embraces the role of a learner, encouraging readers to think independently and avoid dogmatic beliefs. The world thrives on free thinkers, not followers.
The spiritual writer channels messages from a higher realm, recognizing that the information they share is a gift. By striving to present these insights clearly and faithfully, they honor the inspiration that motivates their writing.
If you resonate with these characteristics, it’s likely that you possess the essence of a spiritual writer.
