When we know, who walks beside us, on this path we have chosen, our fears fall from us.

INCREASING YOUR DIVIDENDS

Reaping and sowing. Whatever we meet the conditions in our lives with will multiply. When we meet seeming trouble with fear, anger, resentment or any other negative thought or emotion it plants itself in our consciousness and unless addressed by immediately turning to God’s love and direction it’s roots will sink deeper becoming more troublesome by the minute. The analogy of the camel’s nose (trouble) under the tent flap (our consciousness) also makes the point nicely. If a camel sticks its nose under your tent flap you must strike it immediately because a camel has no reverse. If he gets his head in, he is coming in all the way. Such is also the case with negative thinking and morbid reflection when they wheedle their way into our consciousness. Living on the Spiritual Basis raises our consciousness and naturally brings with it harmony and joy, keeping us vigilant to the camel nose. None of us catches every camel. They sneak in from time to time disguised as something else. So when you discover a camel in your tent follow the direction found in the book Alcoholics Anonymous: If trouble comes, cheerfully capitalize it as an opportunity to demonstrate God’s omnipotence. Shhhh…Just between you and me I am still not real great on the cheerfully part, the good news when a camel does sneak in I am well versed on camel eviction procedures thanks to Living on the Spiritual Basis, one day at a time.
