Stealing Our Peace of Spirit

“Many of us crucify ourselves between two thieves - regret for the past and fear of the future” Fulton Oursler. When in the grip of fear it feels as if something dire is waiting around the next corner to attack and rend us asunder, our peace in spirit lost, while depression slowly squeezes the life out of us, freezing us in inaction. Fear is a liar but an implacable foe, an adversary beyond our ability to defeat alone. And fear never sleeps, is vigilant, patience personified; cunning, baffling and powerful and though we may rally and occasionally win a battle, the outcome of the war is never in doubt when we rely solely upon our limited resources when battling fear.

Regret in turn opens the door to morbid reflection. When we reflect morbidly lament and depression become our traveling companions, the Grace of forgiveness replaced with self-centered fear driven negative introspection. Fear never sees the future brightly with hope, but always dark and hopeless, crushing the peace and serenity that are ours by birthright.

Living on the Spiritual Basis we have learned through action to rely on the Creative Life Force at the heart of everything for our strength. In so doing we face fear with faith, which enables us to meet seeming calamity with serenity, Grace realized, the thief Fear barred entry into our consciousness and we are free. Peace, poise and freedom from the bondage of self demonstrated.
