Additionally, there is always some new and improved way to solve our problems, to address ALL the issues of living, all that is required is your vote and/or your money or both and everything will change for the better. In truth, nothing in the news today is new. Politicians may not technically belong to the world’s oldest profession (I have my doubts) but if not, they have been plying their trade just about as long. We have been asked throughout our history to trust people and institutions, to place our faith in governments and “learned” experts, who have been, as the record shows, routinely wrong. So, it really isn’t a surprise that the same problems that plagued the ancients still plague us today: healthcare, wars over arbitrary lines on a map, jobs, secure borders, taxes, immigration, elder care, safe and available food, education, fresh water, road and bridge maintenance, addiction etc. Studying the history of worldly assurances; both micro and macro, it becomes apparent that outer assurances have done little to fundamentally change the heart of the world.
Having chosen to live on a new basis, the Spiritual Basis, we have not turned our back on the world, but we now see it clearly for the first time. By placing our trust in the Miraculous, turning from the outer to the within through prayer, meditation and service, trusting in infinite God, Divine Love rather than our finite self, people or worldly assurances, we have found peace and the ability to meet calamity with serenity which still eludes most, our new reliance based on the work we have done in the raising of our consciousness, not the assurances of others. The promise of a life lived beyond limitation made real; for we are now in the world but no longer of it, seeing through a new pair of glasses we see those manmade “miracle” answers to the issues of life and living for what they really are as well as those too good to be true promises from politicians. And though the daily displays of man’s inhumanity touches us deeply, it no longer negatively affects us spiritually for we now know the truth of being: that each of us are responsible for our demonstration in Spirit, reaping and sowing, for good or ill, based on our actions and the thoughts we entertain habitually. This day just one day in a timeless existence, this flesh and world merely the current stage we are playing on. Now if I could just cut down on those pesky bathroom trips in the middle of the night, maybe a new diet...
