The Law of Being Revisited

Head to heart, from letter to spirit. This journey from one to the other is the longest 18 inches in the world. When we began questioning life’s orthodoxy; as we all have done to some degree usually beginning in our teens or early twenties, we never dreamt where this thread would lead us. As we mature, and hopefully grow a little wiser, the fire to question unfortunately dims for many. I suppose that is not all bad, it would be hard to imagine a world full of middle-aged teenagers where the trains ran on time. Unfortunately maturing often walks hand in hand with complacency, rolling over us silently like the fog slipping in on cat’s paws, the passion we once had in our thinking and lives dimming; the fire often all but extinguished. Having become invested in the status quo, it becomes easier to go along than to address hard questions. But answer we must if continued growth is desired. So, here's one:

How do you live today? By letter or spirit?

The world needs certain rules, laws if you prefer, to function but what of the rules enforced at the cost of the individual? Is it “correct or right” to refuse help to anyone simply because they don’t meet some often-arbitrary formula or set of conditions? To consign anyone to suffer, when help is available, runs contrary to The Law of Being and unfortunately secular society is often more interested in obeying rules than in seeing the person before them as a child of God, a true brother or sister, connected one to another in Spirit, responsible one to another regardless of conditions or circumstance. So being IN but not OF the world, my prayer is: just for today God, show me how I may be of service to you and my fellows and at the very least, let me do no harm.

Who has also made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for letter kills, but the spirit gives life (2 Corinthians 3:6)

A Great Secret Of The Universe: Gremlins

We all know someone, might even be someone we see in the mirror daily, who has a shelf full of self-help and spiritually themed books. Now, they probably have all been read, at least once, after which they took a place of pride on the shelf with all the others. Now being a spiritual guru, enlightened being, Zen master, world class pistol shot and just a peach of a guy, I will now impart to you one of the great grand secrets of the universe. Ready: (drum roll).....Gremlins. Here, I can prove it, pick up any spiritual or self-help book that touched you in the past, open it at random and start reading. Read a page or two. Go ahead, I’ll wait………………Pretty amazing huh. How could you have missed that the first time? Yup, gremlins. When we are not looking they add new insights that reflect our ever-growing level of spiritual understanding. The lesson then is simple, we need to stop looking for answers, for we already have them.

We progress by studying what has already touched us for it touched us for a reason. Returning to that which has sung to us in the past we are amazed that no matter how many times we may have read it, those darn gremlins have got in there and a deeper meaning has surfaced. This isn’t to say that nothing new can come along, but first we must set our foundation deep by focusing on basic truths, revisiting the roots of our beliefs regularly, observing how the gremlins have brought new luster to that which we thought we knew and understood. Aren’t secrets cool. Gremlins, who knew?
