Excerpt from “The Riches Within”
By Dr. John Demartini
Your Spiritual Quest
Go to your bosom; Knock there, and ask your heart what it doth know.
—William Shakespeare
Dear Friends,
Ultimately, each one of us experiences spirituality according to our individual values. In other words, if your highest value is your family and your children, then you’ll feel that your highest calling is to raise a magnificent family. President Kennedy’s mother, Rose, provided an obvious example when she said, “I looked at child rearing not only as a work of love and duty, but as a profession that was fully as interesting and challenging as any honorable profession in the world, and one that demanded the best that I could bring to it.” Raising her children was her spiritual quest.

Your spiritual quest can be anything based on your higher values. No two people have the exact same values, so no two people have the same idea of what spirituality is. Each soul-mind expresses itself in its singular way. I like to think of it in this way: As the higher energy frequency lowers or descends to the finiteness of humanity, it dualizes into a value system and animates or incarnates into a body. Each physical incarnation and each value system, comprising “positives” and “negatives,” has the imprint of God and the unique expression of an individual.
Whatever you love and dedicate your life to shows you where your spirituality and even your spiritual quest can be found. I can imagine that Donald Trump’s spiritual life might revolve around building giant, first-class structures in New York, Atlantic City, or other major cities across the globe. My own is all about traveling as a teacher, healer, and philosopher, setting foot in every country throughout the world. I feel this is my GOD-ordained gift—the reason I’m here on this planet.
Do you know what your values are? Do you have a sense of your spiritual mission?
If you don’t and I’ve got you thinking, we’re right on track. If you’d like some help discovering your own values, that’s coming up. Meanwhile, let me advise you again to remain aware of what an illusion it is to judge someone else’s values—or even your own—as wrong. It’s not uncommon for someone to react to my description of Trump’s spirituality with some kind of sneer: “That’s not spiritual. That’s just materialism, pride, and greed.” Or you fill in the blank with whatever pejorative word you might use. But please realize that no one’s values are “wrong,” and no one else’s are “right.” (Although everyone at times thinks theirs are “right.”)
This concept seems especially difficult for people where money is concerned—it’s one of the main reasons why I wrote the book How to Make One Hell of a Profit and Still Get to Heaven. In it, I addressed the nature of the spiritual and material, including how many people perceives them as if they were oil and water and never mix. Yet I see no reason these two human driving forces can’t be integrated—they aren’t at odds with each other.
The ancient Egyptians said that spirit without matter is expressionless, and matter without spirit is motionless. The two together make up existence as we know it. When the two are separated, we’re disempowered. When they’re united, we have true power—we experience wholeness. Hubert Howe Bancroft, a historian and publisher, once proposed that if we can marry our spiritual drive and our material drive—if we can achieve our spiritual cause and receive material wealth in the process, and in turn use our material wealth for that spiritual cause—then we are the greatest power on the planet. He pointed out that all the people, institutions, and cultures that have left a profound imprint on the world have done so because they’ve integrated these two forces.
This is just to ask again, Where is spirit not? Where is love not? It’s everywhere, in everything, and in everyone.
Love and Wisdom,
John
