When we know, who walks beside us, on this path we have chosen, our fears fall from us.

How To Be Reborn

The term “reborn” has been employed poorly if not down right incorrectly so often it's true spiritual meaning has become obscured. Living on the Spiritual Basis we now see that all external happenings are but passing shadows of no permanent importance. We have come to hold in our heart of hearts that to dwell in the Presence of Divine light and knowledge is the only true escape from the enemy to our serenity, fear driven morbid reflection. When our consciousness rises above our enemy, we carry the message of His love and guidance into all our affairs, responding to all seeming trouble with “my heart shall not fear, thy will be done” and we are free. With this spiritual key in hand, understanding who our true spiritual enemy is, the power of faith becomes a working part of our lives, and we are truly reborn in Spirit

Which Wolf Will We Feed?

 “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” When FDR said this in his first inaugural address on March 4th 1933 America was in the grip of a deep economic depression, exacerbated by great clouds of dust howling over the central plains of America, displacing millions. FDR understood that fear is paralyzing. Whether you agree with the political course FDR set this country on is immaterial, the critical point is that as a leader he understood the power of fear. Living on the Spiritual Basis we confront fear where it lives, in our consciousness. Fear brings darkness to our thoughts, an actual feeling of constriction in the chest, as if life is being squeezed from us, the sense of impending doom attempting to overpower us.  

Fear is a liar. To be crystal clear: everyone dies of something; the flesh we inhabit one day will fail. Money comes and money goes. Jobs end and begin. We may fall out of love or someone we love may fall out of love with us. Accidents happen. The choice is ours as to how we handle the inevitable twists and turns of life. Do we cower in fear, paralyzed in inaction or step out in faith, demonstrating reliance on a power greater than ourselves?

Freedom comes when we turn in all things to Him who has all knowledge and power, who is the light banishing the darkness of fear, providing the keys to the kingdom, replacing the dread surrounding our heart with the surety of salvation, enabling us to meet perceived calamity with poise and serenity, putting the truth to fears lie. How is this accomplished? By choosing consistent prayer, meditation and service work in the face of stultifying fear. Our greatest gift is free will; out of free will we choose to create. Whether it is a new recipe, scientific theorem, musical composition, play or novel we make the choice to create, each day choosing which path we walk, which wolf we will feed, darkness or light, bondage in self or salvation. The choice is always ours.
