Secular success is typically
measured by possessions, popularity, living the “good” life and so on. Chasing “secular”
health is about looking and feeling good at any price, taking, using, and doing
whatever to achieve something which is passing at best. While Spiritual success
is measured by the peace, poise, and serenity we demonstrate when facing a difficulty,
Spiritual health is not only about the body, as Good Shepherds we do not misuse
it or ignore its care, but we now understand we are not this flesh since all
flesh fails, that we truly are a Spark of the Divine, eternal, existing before
this flesh was conceived and existing beyond its return to the dust and ash
from which it came. Secular: the opinions of others have power to color our
choices and decisions. Spiritually: owning the truth that all appearances are
illusionary, possessions temporary and the opinions of others none of our business,
for when we are right with the Miraculous, all other relationships and
conditions can and will fall into place.
As we transition from living on the secular basis to Living on the Spiritual Basis our whole attitude about life and living changes. The feeling of uselessness and self-pity disappears, we lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows. Spiritual Sight and inspiration become operative in our lives. So, Spiritual or secular, harmony or chaos, the choice is ours. “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” Living on the Spiritual Basis we are no longer of this world, but we are in it; life simplified, no longer at odds with people, places, or things. Truly free of the fear driven life, a wonderful demonstration of true success.
