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

Winging To Serenity


“The truth will set you free.”  Ever watch a bird floating on a current of air, winging its way with practiced grace, unmindful of any man-made or natural impediment to travel; thinking to ourselves how wonderful it would be if we could fly? How much more interesting the world becomes when we add a little height to our point of view, what was once hidden revealed as we soar above the world, pedestrian level restrictions of no concern.

Spiritual flight produces the same effect. We take wing when we seek the Miraculous first, we accomplish this by saluting the Divine in all our brothers and sisters, rejecting condemnation and resentment toward anyone, for any reason, for we now know if we don’t, we suffer in bondage, not the person or thing we are mad or resentful at. When we take flight spiritually, we embrace the Great Reality: that we are in fact and deed children of The Miraculous, timeless and immortal, limited only by the bondage of self, this bondage fueled by the one true adversary, Fear. Soaring we begin to grasp, to see, the true nature of all creation: that everything and everyone are connected in Spirit, and there is a little bit of good in the worst of us and a little bit of bad in the best, for such is the nature of being human.

Our point of view broadened and clarified, we learn to live and grow on the Spiritual Basis day by day, as we soar to new heights what was once hidden comes into view, becoming more distinct as our vision sharpens and expands as does our comprehension. Losing the shackles of self-based fear, we fly ever higher on the currents of Divine Love, coming to know Peace and we begin comprehending the nature of Serenity.

Taking Stock


What do you believe? People believe all sorts of things worshiping at the altar of sports teams, politicians or one cause or another, their ardor equal too and often exceeding that of the most fervent church goer. I wish to make no value judgment on anyone’s beliefs, only that we have a capacity for passionate belief and commitment to many things. The question then is a matter of priority. I always find it curious that we can spend untold hours in discussion and debate on sports, politics, a television series or some other cause near and dear to us but have only a passing interest in our relationship with the Infinite.

When the time comes, and it comes for all since our time in this flesh is finite, the day we somersault into Eternity unknown to us, will a life dedicated to secular pursuits and interests be of much assistance when faced with the ultimate and eternal? Is there really anything more important than our connection with The Miraculous or defining the spiritual parameters by which we live? Please, do not misunderstand; be passionate, root for your team, campaign for your beliefs and stand for the issues that move you, but we must not neglect taking stock, an honest inventory of our life to ascertain where we really stand spiritually, for in the end, literally, what could be more important?

For those who belong to an organized Religion, this stock taking or inventory is just as significant. Do we really believe what is being taught or are we paying it lip service with little passion, attending out of rote rather than deeply held conviction? How involved are you, for all truly reap as they sow. Are you committed to the beliefs your church espouses, the religion you chose, demonstrating that belief and commitment in all your actions?

No one can take stock for us, so begin today to honestly inventory your beliefs and actions, for spiritual honesty is a requisite if we are to find our true voice and place, to know peace and to comprehend serenity and if we find work needs to be done, get started immediately, for what could possibly be of greater importance?
