DON’TS

Don’t Hurry.
Don’t Worry.
Don’t Condemn.
Don’t Resent.

Pretty straightforward, what more is there to know? Ok, maybe a little.

Hurry? To where? “We trudge the road of happy destiny.” We have already arrived. The road is eternal and traveled one step, one prayer, one meditation, and one day at a time.

Worry? Having turned our will and lives over to the care of God when we chose the Spiritual Basis of Living as our path, what is there to worry about? That’s His job now.

Condemn? Remember the teaching on judgment? “Judge righteously and the whole world improves, condemn and we all suffer for we are connected in Spirit, all children of the Divine Presence.”

Resentment? It’s deadly. Nothing shuts us off from the sunlight of the Spirit quicker than harboring resentments. Living on the Spiritual Basis, we know to pray for those who have seemingly wronged us (real and imagined) and ask that we be shown the way of patience, tolerance, kindliness and love. In so doing, we are set free. There is no problem in our lives that enough prayer, meditation and service will not completely wipe out.

So don’t think about it, get to work on your own consciousness as outlined above. See, straightforward.
