Living On The Spiritual Basis and The Salt of the Earth

Salt of the Earth, you don’t hear that expression used very often anymore. When I was a child and someone was referred to as being “the salt of the earth” (Matthew 5:13) it was always said with a tone of admiration and respect. Matthew 5:14 explains why: You are the light of the world. To be a light of the world, quite an honor. This teaching goes on to state that this light will be set on a hill so all may be illuminated by it. So, practically how is this accomplished? By Living on the Spiritual Basis.

 

When we embrace this new way of life we begin striping away the layers of selfishness, pride, self-pity, resentment; all forms and manifestations of the true adversary to our Serenity and ultimate freedom from the bondage of self, fear; which has shut us off from the Sunlight of the Spirit. As we develop this way of living day by day, the truth of being becomes evident: that we are children of eternity, the spark of the Divine within lies beyond the strictures of time, space, and flesh; everything and everyone connected. By practicing the principles this new way of life embodies; honesty, patience, tolerance, kindness, and love among them; our inner light begins to erase the shadows of false belief and fear and in time we become, the salt of the earth. 

So be diligent in the issues of your heart, be consistent in Living on the Spiritual Basis, let no vicissitude sway you from the path and give freely of what you have found: for you have become a light of the world, there is no greater calling.

No Force Required

The Spiritual Concept of “Seeing God in others” has nothing to do with religion, and everything to do with our Divine Connection one to another. It is a practical application of Living on the Spiritual Basis, for with raised consciousness we now recognize the spark of the Miraculous in all, regardless of their transgressions or how unlovely we may find them. By seeing all in our true light-as Spiritual beings experiencing the human condition, not human beings in search of the Divine-we address those struggling spiritually in silent prayer and contemplation of their needs, standing ready and willing to be of assistance, if asked. But we never force ourselves on anyone or attempt to answer unasked questions, for true growth must begin within the questioner. If asked though we must not shrink at our responsibility. We answer questions and spiritual concerns honestly and simply, based on our experience, employing tact and love, thinking how we would want to be addressed if the roles were reversed. In this way we demonstrate God within us, and in seeing this: the true path out of all difficulty, the road of happy destiny; there is a much greater chance they will want what we have and begin their journey of change and redemption in earnest, a day at a time.
