Growing Up Happy On The Road To Siberia

GROW UP! Whenever someone does or says something juvenile there is invariably an “adult” nearby to suggest this course of action. We have all probably been on both sides 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 perpetual 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: “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.

The Law Of Attraction, The Adversary And Karma

The term karma truly became part of the general lexicon in the west during the 1960’s. It is certainly more “modern” to say karma rather than “reap as we sow” yet it essentially means exactly the same thing, the concept of karma actually predating Christianity by over a thousand years. Now, this concept is a cosmic law, is never broken and there is no appeal. Think law of gravity, same rules of appeal apply. The mistake most often made when thinking on karma is that it is a form of punishment. Unlike gravity, our actions determine our karma, reaping what we have sown.

The good news is that karma, or if you prefer The Law of Attraction, works both ways. To be clear: everyone faces trouble and difficulties in the course of their lives they seemingly did nothing to attract, but those occasions are rare and if we are rigorously honest with ourselves it becomes clear that by our choices and decisions we often set into motion the circumstances that eventually placed us in a position to be harmed. Remember, the converse is true as well, by the choices and decisions we make we attract the positive, good into our lives as well.

We are blessed with free will, the ability to choose the path we walk, the choices we make determining the crop we reap. So we avoid the deliberate manufacture of misery and suffering, Living on the Spiritual Basis we walk the road less traveled, trusting and relying on a power greater than ourselves to keep the adversary, fear, in its proper place for When we know, who walks beside us on this path we have chosen, we will never be afraid again. Karma, The Law of Attraction placed in proper perspective.
