Living on the Spiritual Basis
provides unlimited horizons for growth and the expansion of our consciousness,
but we must take the action. Think of it this way: Our consciousness floats in
a slow moving infinite river, the river of connection to everyone and
everything, Source immanent, Divine Love surrounding us. When we made the
decision to live on a different basis, the basis of trusting and relying upon a
Power Greater Than Ourselves we choose to move away from fear, selfish and self-centered
pursuits and toward increased awareness and purpose, our consciousness, our
relationship/connection with source improving as we progress. This however
requires steadfast and consistent effort on our part.
Now, no one spends all their time in the river. We all climb out from time to time for a variety of reasons and rest on our laurels along the bank, the laurels (think peace of mind and heart) generated from the spiritual work we have done, the truths we have embraced. The problems begin if we attempt to set up camp, believing we have arrived, losing sight of the reality that our growth rests in our willingness to continue moving forward since our spiritual awakening is an ongoing process. But take heart, we have all done it; perhaps you are doing it now. Whenever I have, it does not take long for the leaves to dry out, becoming hard and stiff, resulting in restlessness and a vague sense of discontentment, encouraging action. So, when the leaves begin to stiffen, take note, and get back in the river, for something wonderful lies just beyond the next bend.
