Beyond This Flesh

Do you know of anyone who heard the Gettysburg Address in person? Observed Washington crossing the Delaware? No? Of course not. The flesh we inhabit will one day fail. No amount of money, resources, exercise or just plain old “good living” will alter that. The truth is simply this: Being human is a terminal condition. This truth raises an eternal question, are we this body or something more? Living on the Spiritual Basis the answer is clear: We are Spiritual beings experiencing the human condition, not Human beings in search of the spiritual. The spark of consciousness that is unique in us is timeless, was never born and will never die; has always been and will always be.

We raise our consciousness through prayer and meditation, in so doing we effect  permanent change beyond the vagaries of this flesh, secular living and thinking. So our job, the only real task in this life, is too practice the Presence of God every day in every area, with everyone, to fully forgive all who have trespassed against us, to hold fast to the truth that the only aspect of this life that translates beyond the flesh is our raised consciousness and the only universal measurement of our time here is: how much love did we give away, unconditionally.
