Teachers of spiritual principles agree on this point:
freedom comes when
limitation is
overcome. On the surface the differences in approach from one school of
thought
to another can often seem dramatic if not downright contradictory, but
in essence they are all tools to address the same thing, our perceived
loss or missing connection to true Source which provides clarity,
direction and serenity in our lives. To be clear: We are not/cannot be
disconnected from Source,
for we are comprised of Source. Flesh is ephemeral, but our spirit, soul
if you prefer, is eternal, has always been, will always be, was never
born and can never die. We choose to believe in a gulf or lack of
connection out of fear and the seeming unfairness of life. Our ability
to comprehend the totality of existence with our limited understanding
of the miraculous leads us down the paths of denial and often into
spiritual make believe. It is seemingly easier to hold that we are
living at the whim of creation or conversely chaos, therefore taking no
responsibility for our lives, than to live i
n purpose, coming to grips
with the truth that we are where we are because of every choice and
decision we have ever made. Fear modulating between
what if there is no God to
God will punish me for I have chosen and/or acted poorly.
In truth: When we know who walks beside us everyday, on this path we have chosen, we will never be afraid again.
Just as every child is connected to their parent by blood, we
are connected to Ultimate Source in Spirit. Arguing over the title of
this Source is one of the Adversary's, Fear, greatest tricks to keep us
locked into the bondage of self, Limitation ascendant.
To free ourselves from the self-imposed fetters on our
spiritual life we must strip away the lurking fears holding us back and
step out in
faith, the faith generated from the certainty of our true connection
with Source. Living any other way is existence restricted, fear rather
than
faith dominate, living in the light desired but giving in to the carnal
always beckoning shadows of limitation thinking, fear's handmaiden. We overcome limitation by
standing, though often trembling, in the light, proclaiming our love and
steadfast belief in our connection to the miraculous.
