The Pebbles Path and the Pure Of Heart

Miracles Of Recovery

The concept of a pure heart can be troubling, unless one possess the spiritual key. Once a heart has been touched by loss, sin, suffering of any kind, is it possible for that heart to ever truly be pure again? Some misguided souls would have us believe that it can't be, fortunately for “His” children, which in truth is all of us, this belief is false. Living on the Spiritual Basis we have learned that everything and everyone is connected. Every choice, decision and action having significance, from the seemingly mundane to the monumental, affecting not only ourselves but the entire world in much the same manner as the pebble dropped in a pond. Consider:

When a pebble is dropped into a still pond the surface ripples move out in all directions, rebounding to eventually touch every shore. But what of the unseen ripples? As the pebble slips from sight, it’s journey continuing to the bed of the pond, it sends out unseen waves touching every aspect and every creature in and of the pond.

To be pure in heart is to know the pebbles path, aware of our true relationship with “Our Father." This new awareness, this filter for the issues of our heart when intelligently used blesses us and all our brothers and sisters, for we now “see God” in everything and everyone, our true connection in Spirit revealed, saluting our innate spirituality, regardless of station or circumstances. Our consciousness is the pebble falling through an eternal, infinite pool, touching all and being touched by all, the pool nothing less than God's love and knowledge, purity personified. Our raised awareness cleansing us, renewing us as we travel through eternity hand in hand with our Father and our brothers and sisters in spirit.

Cloudy Days, Mercy And Dragons

Miracles Of Recovery

Being merciful toward others is always laudable, but what of the mercy we fail to show ourselves? Do you mentally (or worse, out loud) chastise yourself when a mistake is made or when some negative or objectionable thought floats through your mind? Since we all make mistakes and curious thoughts float up in everyone’s consciousness, we must put away the mental cat of nine tails and demonstrate mercy in our own house (consciousness). God, Our Father, wants all His children to be: happy, joyous and free. So we must stop berating ourselves and thank God that by knowing Him better we can learn from our mistakes and when those curious negative thoughts seem to appear from nowhere we can turn to Him in prayer, ask if there is anything to be learned (sometimes there is, but not always, often a cloudy day is just a cloudy day) and move on. Under no pretense do we engage in a hunt for the cause of the thought, attempting to root out it’s location in the psyche. To do so only opens us to the deadly trap of morbid reflection and there be dragons. If there is something to be known or learned, God will make it abundantly clear, so ask Him; but don’t go looking for dragons, they bite.

The Action of Mercy

Miracles Of Recovery

To demonstrate mercy to those suffering, whether physical or emotional, is of course a quality to be cultivated. But how merciful are our "secret" thoughts? It is in this secret place the Great Teacher is really speaking too with the lesson: Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy (Matthew 7:1-5). To be merciful toward some while holding contempt in our heart for anyone, demonstrates a lack of Spiritual clarity. Having embraced Living on the Spiritual Basis does not mean we ignore the contemptible acts of others, but we must not confuse the act with the actor (we condemn the act, not the child of God committing it). Our course of action is to pray for the individual's consciousness to be raised and in meditation ask if there is anything we can do to improve conditions. Their acts will be addressed by the proper appointed secular authority where applicable and spiritually we are all ultimately responsible for our own demonstration, reaping what we have sown.

The most seductive and destructive form of contempt is when we decide someone is irredeemable,  their transgressions so great they are incapable of change or spiritual awakening. The most spiritually handicapped individual’s life will improve when we shine the sunlight of the spirit, to the best of our current ability in prayer, on them. Sometimes the change in condition will be sudden and obvious, usually it is more subtle, regardless that is none of our business anyway. What matters is our demonstration in mercy, for by our action we have raised not only our consciousness and the consciousness of those around us, but the entire world since everything and everyone are truly connected in Spirit.
