“ONE DAY AT A TIME”

“Live, one day at a time.” This simple saying popularized by Alcoholics Anonymous has become part of the daily consciousness, but what does it really mean? Living on the Spiritual Basis the meaning is simple and profound: The only time we can be present for God, the only time we can stand in the presence of God, the only time God can be present in our lives is in the present moment. So be present for God, for God is always present for us. Yesterday a memory, tomorrow a promise, today, this moment the only reality. Living on this basis, the Spiritual Basis, all the presents God has for us appear in our lives, one day at a time.

Growing Consciousness

To progress spiritually, to grow in consciousness there is effort, work required. Additionally no one can do another’s spiritual work any more that we can eat a meal for a friend. To have a lively faith we must cultivate open mindedness and remain willing to explore new spiritual experiences, seeking the true path in prayer and meditation and then demonstrate faith through  action.

Self-centered fear is a thief, lurking in the shadows, cunning and patient, waiting for a moment to strike, stealing our peace of mind and serenity while leaving anxiety and depression in its wake. So we ask God to remove from us the notion that any part of our lives or thinking, any shadow, is hidden from Him. Of course nothing is, but we need to state this in prayer, affirming it in meditation, so any lingering thoughts that anything exists outside His sight will be smashed, setting us free.

We live in the light, for in truth the only darkness that exists are the shadows we cast when attempting to live on anything other than the Spiritual Basis. Living on the Spiritual Basis everything is illuminated, so when we err, for we all do, this simple reliance on God will take us to better things, forgiven as soon as we ask, our course of action clear, unmistakable.

The True Basis Of Living

“Man is essentially spiritual, the image and likeness of God, and therefore he is made for the spiritual basis, and he cannot really succeed on any other.” Emmet Fox. Living on the Spiritual Basis requires focus and commitment. Halfhearted demonstrations lead inevitably to struggle and ultimate failure in spirit. Wishing to enjoy the reputation of someone who embraces spiritual principles without reservation but live in reality with one foot in the secular and one in the spiritual leads only to discontent and strife, for the double minded individual is unstable in all their ways. So speak to Him in prayer without reservation, unburden yourself of the last vestiges of self-centered fear and stride out wholeheartedly on to the only real basis of living, the Spiritual Basis.
