Within as without. What we believe at our core always finds it way into the light. The thief, liar and cheat all eventually fly their colors and become known for what they are, in spite of their attempts to hide it. Those who speak of God yet act godless are the saddest of all. They recognize the beauty and importance of a spiritual connection only from the standpoint of exploiting it for their own gain. If there ever was a creature who deserved our pity, they qualify. They truly “miss the forest for all the trees”, their focus self-centered, the majesty and connection to the author of all obscured.
Only you know your heart. When our relationship with God is right, all other relationships can and will fall into place. The secret place is our consciousness, where we lay the foundation and place the order for the future. With God as our partner the foundation is sound, the future secure in the knowledge that we have tapped the universal mind for guidance and strength. The world will always clamor in its attempt to invade our serenity, to infect our heart with fear, to turn us from the miraculous to the mundane. Turn off the news, put down the newspaper, switch off the radio and let the phone go to voicemail. Pick up whatever spiritual tome is at hand or appeals to you and spend sometime with it. Read a few lines and quietly reflect on what they mean to you. Continue doing this until it is time to stop, you will know. Your heart will be filled, peace re-established, perspective restored. This all happens in your secret place, your soul, your connection to the Divine cleansed. The forest in clear view, the beauty of the trees evident.
