AUTHENTIC SPIRITUALITY

“Demonstrate or starve.” Each of us know our level of willingness to travel the road of happy destiny. To progress, to grow in consciousness we must do the work, no one can do it for us. Memorizing and reciting spiritual sayings, affirmations and prayers is a valuable tool, but to progress we must go much further, build our spiritual tool chest. To have a lively faith we must remain open minded and willing to explore new spiritual experiences in life, in the light of prayer and meditation, then demonstrating our faith, spirituality, by our actions. By growing and walking the way we talk we demonstrate, when relying solely on repetition with little feeling we slowly starve spiritually. Many years ago I asked God to remove from me any notion that there is any part of my life or thinking that is hidden from Him. Of course nothing is, but I needed to say it out loud, for me, so that any lingering thoughts that anything about me existed outside His sight would be smashed. Live in the light, for in truth the only darkness that exists is the shadow we cast when attempting to live on anything other than the Spiritual Basis. Living on the Spiritual Basis everything is illuminated, so when we err, this simple reliance on God will take us to better things, forgiven as soon as we ask, the course of action clear.
