Sirius XM and Divine Instruments

What does it mean to be an instrument of God's will? Since we all begin and end the same way, just the manner of exit somewhat more varied unlike our entrance, we are all essentially the same "type" of instrument. So, for this example, think radio as the instrument. When I was a young man cars came equipped with AM radios, FM an option at additional cost and 8 track tape players were the only after market option for enhancing the musical experience. Since then technology has advanced through cassette players, CD's, MP 3's and now commercial free satellite radio with hundreds of channels for every taste, quite an evolution. 

Our Spiritual evolution is very similar. At birth we were simple receivers with limited range. As we grew our capacity and range increased, our channels becoming more varied and powerful, some positive, some unfortunately negative. When fear controls the selection we are subjected to a continuous diet of morbid reflection in it's many guises, pulling us into depression. However just as with our radio, when an artist our song comes on we don't care for we can change the channel, we do the same with negative thoughts, turning from the lower to the higher, embracing love and Divine guidance over fear based thinking and living. 

And just like when a song comes on we love, one we always sing along with when alone in the car,  by turning from fear based channels of thinking and replacing them with channels of hope and peace, we truly become Divine instruments of love and guidance, not just hearing the tune, but becoming it.

In Truth: Judge, We Must

Judging others is a greatly misunderstood Spiritual principle. We not only should judge the behavior of others but Living on the Spiritual Basis makes it a requirement. The difficulty arises when we confuse righteous judgment with condemnation.

When we condemn it places us in a position to be harmed, for we have assumed a morally elevated position, an attitude of "better than" if you will, which of course is false. No one is above or below another in the sight of God. Though our paths may be very different, our challenges and lessons in life diverse, no one is beyond grace and forgiveness in Spirit which always manifests if we truly mean business and desire change. This does not mean crimes and transgressions are forgotten or ignored, but we must be willing to go to any lengths for salvation, for the ultimate freedom from the bondage of self. So we condemn the act, not the actor.

All reap as they have sown, and unfortunately some will never seek enlightenment, choosing fear over freedom. However we are mistaken if we condemn them or wish (or worse desire) harm to anyone. Hate does not cease with hate. Anger is never assuaged with more anger. Condemnation never builds character or leads to freedom.

So judge righteously and the whole world improves, condemn and we all suffer for we are all connected in Spirit, all children of the Divine Presence.
