Spiritually: Tide Pool Or Salt Marsh?

Ever been to a tide pool or salt marsh?  A tide pool is consistently refreshed with an influx of new water with the rising of the tides while the salt marsh is only sporadically refreshed. While a tide pool is vibrant and fresh, a salt marsh smells of stagnation and rot.  As is true for tide pools and salt marshes, such is our spiritual lives. When we become static, stagnant in our thinking, restricting or worse shutting off the fresh flow of experience taken to heart, we become resistant to change and can completely stifle our spiritual growth.

Living on the Spiritual Basis when one door closes we rejoice, for we have reached the end of this part of our journey and fearlessly (I know, easier said than done, which is why we rely on God for strength) we stride forth, knowing that God is with us and will keep us unharmed, if we are about His business: our ultimate awakening in Spirit. So the choice is always ours, freedom or limitation, growth or stagnation. Choose wisely.

Words To Live By

Easy does it! Work hard but don’t make hard work of it. Are all words to live by. Consider, has worry or being so tense a loud noise makes you jump ever improved or changed the outcome of any undertaking? Not in my experience. So in all things take all prudent steps and indicated actions but when this is accomplished, stop. Nothing positive will be had by negatively rehashing something that is done. Worry and being tense are simply forms of fear, for truly, what is there to be afraid of? Living on the Spiritual Basis we cannot serve two masters, for in truth we are in the world but not of it. We are all children of God, loved beyond measure, eternal in every aspect that matters. We keep our head where our hands are and address the tasks at hand, and when done; we leave the results to God, reminding ourselves that, though our true Self is eternal, we live one day at a time.

Black Cats And Superstition

You have probably heard these; Step on a crack and break your mama’s back, three on a match, a dead man’s shoes, 7 years bad luck if you break a mirror, black cat crossing your path, spilled salt, anything 13, walking under a ladder and many more. Many believe that this life can be influenced by seemingly random negative occurrences like these. When we begin to Live on the Spiritual Basis it becomes clear that life is filled with uncontrollable and unavoidable moments of broken mirrors, sidewalk cracks, black cats etc. and the only power they possess is that which we choose to give them. Living on the Spiritual Basis has taught us there is only one power, God as you understand Him. Superstitions, sacred cows and their ilk are all curious impediments to living to our fullest, to be happy, joyous and free, cracks, cats, shoes and mirrors not withstanding.
