“Every thought is made up of two factors, knowledge and feeling.” What
do you believe? We all believe in all sorts of things. Ford is better
than Chevy, Yankees are better than the Red Sox, my grandkids are cuter
than yours are all examples of thoughts/opinions based heavily in
feeling rather than knowledge, except the one about my grandkids of
course. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line,
Hawaii is an island, two plus two equals four are all examples of
knowledge/facts with little feeling or passion attached. Heated discussions have
and will take place concerning the former, yet probably never concerning
the latter.
Clearly without passion nothing happens. Living on the Spiritual Basis is a passionate way of life, tempered with truth. Not someone else’s truth but your truth arrived at by scientific prayer and meditation. Read with your eyes but study with your heart. Listen with your ears but hear with the Divine Presence within and do not mortgage your future on any one teacher or interpretation. The Great Carpenter taught that we are all connected to the Father, not requiring any intermediaries to establish this bond since it is ours by right of birth, a teaching that turned the world on its head, forgotten by many. So read spiritual books and study teachers that strike a cord with you, but keep your own counsel in the “secret” place of your heart. When questions arise seek out those who have touched you and consider their words in meditation and if you find their counsel rings true and is just, incorporate it in your life. The right answers will come if our own house is in order, but this requires us to remain willing and open to all spiritual experience, remember “the realm of Heaven is roomy, all inclusive, never exclusive or forbidding to those who earnestly seek.”
