Memo: No, really, I got this. Signed God.

Living on the Spiritual Basis we now trust and rely on God for guidance, strength and direction but it is up to us to demonstrate our belief. If we pray but do not really believe we deserve to receive or  somehow the difficulty we are in was delivered by God to “teach” us a lesson, our prayer will be answered accordingly. What do you believe? Living in grace we are forgiven in spirit our transgressions as soon as we ask, the pain comes when after having our consciousness raised we choose to act in a manner we know in our heart is wrong. God does not punish us, we do, reaping as we have sown. He does not keep score, we do. Everything we have ever done or said is written on our heart, in our hand, not God’s. God wants us to be happy, joyous and free, if I am not it is because I have taken back up the reins of my life and am running the show again for God is a gentleman and will always hand the reins back when we reach for them.

Our deliverance comes from trust and demonstration. Trust in Him who has all knowledge and power and you will demonstrate the life you desire, continue outlining and attempting to run the show and you will demonstrate more of what you are praying to have removed! So avoid lending God a hand in the running of your life; He really doesn’t need the help.

Tour De France

Most people believe in all sorts of things without truly taking the time to consider them. Whether we realize it or not, everyone lives by a set of values, or code if you prefer, things we will or will not do.  Living on the Spiritual Basis we chose to examine our beliefs, seeking clarity on our values and the code we live by. In so doing we build the structure of our mentality, our consciousness a metaphysical stone at a time. Our decision to live the examined life builds the fortress of our faith, provides sure footing in times of trouble, protection from the vagaries of random wild negative thoughts with raised ramparts of clarity to better view the landscape of our lives. Remember, all structures require maintenance, lest they fall to ruin.

Some years back I began watching the Tour De France bicycle race not so much for the race as for the stunning beauty of France since much of the race is followed by helicopters showing panoramic views of famous structures in proximity to the race route. France is dotted with castles/fortresses, typically situated on prominent high points overlooking villages or critical choke points along invasion routes. A few are still occupied, but most have been allowed to deteriorate, their walls crumbling, moats overgrown, testaments to a once vital defense, now merely reminders of what once was. Just as physical walls fail without care and maintenance, the fortress of our faith will suffer this same fate without spiritual maintenance performed by consistent prayer, meditation and service. If we fail to do this and rest on our laurels the seeds of fear will find their way into the stones, take root and eventually breach the walls. Having done the work in faith to build our fortress, we must remain ever vigilant watching for the beginning tendrils of fear, negativity and depression and when they appear, for they will, address them immediately by reaffirming our faith and trust in God.
