FOOL’S GOLD

Spiritual fool’s gold. Rarely does a week go by that a new self help book/seminar that will solve all our problems, diet to end all diets, miracle food/supplement, piece of revolutionary exercise equipment that will provide the perfect body, IN ONLY 20 MINUTES! appears. Admit it; just like me, you have been tempted. Will drinking some berry juice really change my life? Perhaps a three-day seminar addressing all of life’s questions is the answer? Who wouldn’t want a flat sexy tummy or buns of steel, IN ONLY 20 MINUTES! Like the man said, if it sounds too good to be true it is. Unlike hoping for an unrealistic shortcut to six-pack abs, Living on the Spiritual Basis is the shortest road to the peace and sense of freedom that we all crave deep down. “Simple but not easy, a price has to be paid.” That price is the surrender of self and our focus on selfish things. We then shift our focus to the sense of the Presence of God within, where true gold is found, we will know the truth. As the old timer said to the newcomer: “When you think you have found gold you probably have not; but when you do find it, you will know it for certain.”
