Growing Consciousness

To progress spiritually, to grow in consciousness there is effort, work required. Additionally no one can do another’s spiritual work any more that we can eat a meal for a friend. To have a lively faith we must cultivate open mindedness and remain willing to explore new spiritual experiences, seeking the true path in prayer and meditation and then demonstrate faith through  action.

Self-centered fear is a thief, lurking in the shadows, cunning and patient, waiting for a moment to strike, stealing our peace of mind and serenity while leaving anxiety and depression in its wake. So we ask God to remove from us the notion that any part of our lives or thinking, any shadow, is hidden from Him. Of course nothing is, but we need to state this in prayer, affirming it in meditation, so any lingering thoughts that anything exists outside His sight will be smashed, setting us free.

We live in the light, for in truth the only darkness that exists are the shadows we cast when attempting to live on anything other than the Spiritual Basis. Living on the Spiritual Basis everything is illuminated, so when we err, for we all do, this simple reliance on God will take us to better things, forgiven as soon as we ask, our course of action clear, unmistakable.
