What is Spiritual Van Life?

FREEING YOURSELF FROM THE SYSTEM

So, what is Spiritual Van Life? Van Life on its own already became a popular alternative Lifestyle for a whole new breed of nomads. It is a conscious decision to follow a free and more sustainable philosophy in life that involves scrutinizing at least certain obsolete concepts in general society.

Of course, you can be a full blown atheist or a fully committed capitalistic materialist to be intrigued by this kind of lifestyle. Still, I am convinced there is a significantly higher percentage of true Spiritual Seekers among the van lifers than there is in the average society.

I believe the essential trait to question the Status Quo of this current paradigm and to pursue a peaceful journey towards inner and outer Freedom is what I like to call Spiritual Van Life.

The “Van” aspect of this concept just describes a form of mobile home. It could be any kind of vehicle, a boat or even your suitcase. Important is the intentional idea. Freedom and flexibility of movement are the objective targets here.

FOLLOWING THE VAN LIFE MOVEMENT

THE CONSCIOUS DECISION TO HAVE A MOBILE HOME

If you take a conscious decision to join the van life movement even just temporally, you might be a person that likes Minimalism, that enjoys living with essentials, things that really matter. You probably despise fake and insignificant burdens on your back that are limiting your Freedom. Obviously, you seem to enjoy change and New Inspirations.

To become a Van Lifer you also need to have some courage, because you accept a dynamic reality in a hard to control environment. With every move you make in your vehicle you put your home into a new neighborhood – a new context. Depending on how far you move with your home on wheels you might wake up in a place with a whole New Cultural Paradigm. That demands the ability for quick adaptation, a certain connectivity and some trust in life.

ARE YOU A SPIRITUAL SEEKER?

SELFCHECK AND DEFINITION OF “SPIRITUAL”

If you became aware that there is something else beyond the veil of physical reality which you might define as God or a Higher Self then you could be defined as a spiritual seeker. Maybe you need just a little inner ambition to learn more about your true self. This Higher Self is something you might describe as a form of collective consciousness like a Morphic Field.

Maybe you just recognize some kind of intelligent design in the pattern of nature which might include some form of a higher dimensional connection of consciousness. Even if you realize there are some fascinating mysteries in modern science like Quantum Entanglement and superposition that suggest a whole new paradigm of reality, you qualify as a seeker. If you accept, that the limited model of Einstein’s Space-Time-Continuum needs to be extended, then you already could consider yourself as “spiritual”.

Spiritual Van Life questions the nature of Reality as much as it questions the necessity to possess a solid house. Spirituality and van dwelling dare to scrutinize the current paradigm – just in different directions. One is the internal quest and one the is the external ambition to disengage from the System.

If you can take into consideration that parts of the answers on “how to extend personal freedom?” and “how to understand reality?” is to be found beyond the physical realm, then you could define yourself as a spiritual seeker. Because you are looking beyond the physical dimensions you are tapping into the Metaphysical. You could also refer to it as the Matrix. This intelligent construct goes by many names and has plenty of secrets to unveil.

THE COMMON GROUND ON VAN LIFE AND SPIRITUALITY

From my individual experiences and looking from my definition of spirituality, a majority of van lifers qualify as spiritual seekers. So they are already doing a certain form Spiritual Van Life. It just fits perfectly together. The typical reasons for joining the van life movement are freedom and the inner longing to experience a new perspective on life. Those are basic attributes you could also associate with various spiritual concepts.

There are many common ideas behind spirituality and van life. It all is based on the belief of freeing oneself from the system. How deep you recognize the system and how free you want to become might be individual choices but the common roots for both of this movements are self-evident to me, at least from my perspective. If you share a similar inner association concerning Van Life and Spirituality than you will find some inspiration here. That is guaranteed in one way or another.

This blog is for people that came to the understanding that the experience van life and their very own Spiritual Journey are deeply entangled. Van Life is part of the liberation process in the physical world. It is maybe comparable with Yogies retreating to the caves to find inner wisdom.

It is just mirroring an analog spiritual objective inside of your being. If you realized that your Inner Decisions have a direct consequence in your External Reality without physical causality than you might find new inspiration on this website.

The Purpose Of This Blog

SHARING THE ART OF MANIFESTATION OR CO-CREATION

This Spiritual Van Life Blog not only serves the purpose that all my friends and family members, who wish me a good fortune on my journey, know what and how I am doing, it also shall provide inspiration for all others that dream of roaming the world. The true reason and the primary purpose of this web blog are sharing a secret, which only a minority is aware of. This very secret has many names and is known in many ancient and modern traditions. It is called: Manifestation, Co-creation or Transsurfing.

It is the notion that every individual emerges from the singularity of Oneness to co-create his very own reality (or you might call it a stage play) in a Multidimensional and multi-timeline Universe. Others call it the Matrix. Does that sound strange or weird to you?

If what I tried to sketch up here makes perfect sense to you, then please be welcome to the Spiritual Van Life Blog to proceed deeper into the rabbit hole. You will see that this journey is not only about discovering different landscapes. It is a voyage to explore oneself – it is a Spiritual Trip in essence.
