Trudging To Siberia, With and Without a Shovel

GROW UP! Often when someone does or says something juvenile there is invariably an “adult” nearby to suggest this course of action. We have all probably been on either side of the “grow up” admonition at one time or another in our lives. Now secular juvenile behavior is one thing, but what about spiritual maturity? Many who would be offended if it were suggested they were anything less than a model of modern maturity in truth have static spirituality. Having struck upon a “sensible” structured slate of activity and repetitive prayer at proscribed times they are “comfortable” and self-assured in their path, their sacred cows well cared for.

Our spiritual lives, and there really is no other, demands constant fresh input to be vital, complacency and staidness clear demonstrations of spiritual immaturity. We keep our conscious contact with the Divine fresh and growing on a daily basis by keeping an open mind and heart, ready to act and serve in whatever manner God would have us. Ready to go to any lengths, any extreme to maintain our unending spiritual awakening, constantly moving forward, sometimes quickly sometimes slowly but always growing, never content to draw a line in the sand, plant our flag and say, "no further, I have arrived.”

One of the hallmarks of spiritual maturity is willingness. Years ago, when I was balking at taking some indicated action, my spiritual guide at the time described his level of willingness thusly: “If God wants me to go shovel shit in Siberia, I’m willing, the only question is do I need to bring my own shovel.” Willingness is the key, we must remain willing to go to any lengths for our Spiritual growth as we trudge the road of Happy Destiny, with or without a shovel.
