Teachers of spiritual principles
and living agree on this point: freedom comes when limitation is
overcome. On the surface the differences in approach from one teaching
to another can often seem dramatic if not downright contradictory, but
in essence they are all tools to address the same thing, our perceived
loss/missing connection to the Eternal Divine Mind, the Source of
everything. To be clear: We are not/cannot be disconnected from Source,
for we are comprised of Source. Flesh is ephemeral, but our spirit, soul
if you prefer, is eternal, has always been, will always be, was never
born and will never die. We choose to believe in a gulf or lack of
connection out of fear and the seeming unfairness of life. Our ability
to comprehend the totality of existence with our limited understanding
of the miraculous leads us down the paths of denial and often into
spiritual make believe. It is seemingly easier to hold that we are
living at the whim of creation or conversely chaos, therefore taking no
responsibility for our lives, than to live in purpose, coming to grips
with the truth that we are where we are because of every choice and
decision we have ever made. Fear modulating between
what if there is no God to
God will punish me for I have chosen and/or acted poorly.
In truth: "If you knew who walked beside you everyday, on this path you have chosen, you would never be afraid again."
Living to His Glory is really living to ours for we are children of
God, and just as every child is connected to their parent by blood, we
are connected to Our Father in Spirit.
Redouble
your efforts today to free yourself from self-imposed fetters on your
spiritual life, strip away the self-conscious fear of standing in the
light, the fear of exposure, of what others will think, and step out in
faith. Living any other way is existence restricted, fear rather than
faith dominate, living in the light desired but giving in to the carnal
always beckoning shadows of limitation. We overcome limitation by
standing, though often trembling, in the light, proclaiming our love and
steadfast belief in Our Father.
