In But Not Of, Reborn

Reborn is a term that accurately states the truth of Living on the Spiritual Basis. Day by day, step by step as we develop spiritually the old “man” dies and the new emerges. In childbirth there is pain and discomfort along the way but is quickly forgotten since there is probably no more peaceful, joyful, powerful moment in our lives than when we first beheld our newborn child. This same peace is visited upon us as our awareness and conscious contact with Source builds and grows, as we move from being of the world to being in the world, moving from the finite to the infinite, becoming a light of awareness and serenity, a beacon of hope. And unlike that moment of arrival of our child, this peace, serenity can be ours daily, if we but remain teachable, willing to grow and change regardless of circumstance. Is there any greater miracle?

“Habit is habit, and not to be flung out the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time.” Wayne Dyer.

Let’s look at this a different way. Many of my peers, including myself, are a little rounder than we would like. Now the weight didn’t appear over night. I didn’t go to bed with a twenty year olds twenty-eight inch waist and wake up with a sixty something’s forty. Yet when it comes to losing weight, typically if it can’t be lost in a week or two we lose interest and fall back into old habits, deeply carved patterns of thinking. Diets are hard; require real long-term change and different thinking patterns, while cheeseburgers are easy, requiring only fries and maybe a shake.

We choose the path, the instruction sheet we follow. The choice is always ours. 

 

Our spiritual development is a mental diet, we choose the directions to follow, the nourishment we ingest, and though eating healthy is important, a healthy mental diet is of infinitely more consequence than waist size. Years of fuzzy thinking, false belief and fear driven action do not disappear overnight, the process continues for our lifetime and though our consciousness is eternal, assembly is required, so what instruction sheet will you follow?

Consider those who suffer from addiction. Many who initially recover, seemingly having cast their “habit” out the window, a new basis for living embraced, then relapse and are often baffled as to why. They are fooled by the delusion those years of thinking and living in addiction now magically disappeared because the intoxicants are out of their system. In reality the “instruction” sheet they have been following for years is carved deep in their consciousness and will take years of positive contrary action and consistent vigilance of motive to overwrite, to learn how to live on this new basis of living, the Spiritual Basis, embracing a completely new set of directions, a day at a time. The price may seem high, but the rewards are nothing less than miraculous.
