Living on the Spiritual Basis
requires diligence, mindful of what are we planting (or allowing to remain) in
our spiritual garden (consciousness). To be free of the fear driven life we
need to ask ourselves regularly: Am I trying to impress others, curry favor, perhaps
falsely believing, hoping, if they think I am okay, I am? That true happiness
lies in the approval of others? Have we surrounded ourselves with people quick
to co-sign whatever we are selling, while avoiding those who may ask
uncomfortable (honest) questions or point out obvious truths we may not want to
hear? Perhaps even employing a little "guilty with an explanation" reasoning
when attempting to justify a bad decision or some selfish behavior?
Living on the Spiritual Basis teaches us that the unexamined life leads only to futility
and frustration, a life filled with fear-based thinking and action, burying us
in the bondage of self. So our path is simple, if not easy: we must perform a
daily inventory of our spiritual garden and when we discover a “weed,” and we
will from time to time, we honestly address it through prayer, asking to be
shown the truth and what corrective action is required. If it is a troublesome
pest, one that seems to keep sprouting up, we discuss it with a trusted
spiritual advisor or friend, someone who will tell us the truth, even at the
risk of the relationship, for the truth will set us free. Gratitude is
an action, and grateful people are happy people, so always thank the Miraculous
for this marvelous new ability to see mistakes and character flaws and the
continuing willingness to be free of them, a day at a time.
