Prison By Choice Wishing to get even, to take revenge, to balance the scales, to repay in kind are natural human sentiments, a wild justice; all manifestations of living on the secular basis. Conversely, Living on the Spiritual Basis teaches us that “hatred ceases not with hatred.” Though the crimes and acts committed may beContinue reading “Prison By Choice”

Moment by Moment “We have ceased fighting everyone and everything, for we are on a new basis, the basis of trusting and relying on God.” This principle is at the heart of Living on the Spiritual Basis. To believe that any of us have achieved perfection in this is foolhardy. Our time in this fleshContinue reading “Moment by Moment”

Crap Sandwich Einstein once remarked, “The most important decision you will ever make is whether you live in a friendly or hostile universe.” Spiritually, if we live in a hostile universe, then no matter what we do, there really isn’t any hope for us. The hostile universe is dominated by a “score keeper” God, holdingContinue reading “Crap Sandwich”

Bench Warming Intellectual discussions concerning spirituality can be interesting, even invigorating, but have no real value without a corresponding demonstration. Consider: someone decides to become a snow skier. They proceed to read books and magazines on skiing, attend lectures and seminars, learn about different kinds of snow and meteorology, purchase the latest skiing attire andContinue reading “Bench Warming”

Metaphysics: East vs West Aristotle referred to metaphysics as the “first philosophy.” A metaphysician or metaphysicist studies all things and how they relate. Whether the focus is ontological (loosely the study of everything in our physical world) or cosmological (the study and relationship of everything in the universe) metaphysics, both approaches clearly cover a wideContinue reading “Metaphysics: East vs West”

The Water Of Life Closer is He than breathing; nearer than hands and feet. -Tennyson. In truth, we are always in contact with Source, because we are of Source, not human beings in search of a spiritual connection, we are spiritual beings experiencing the human condition, the connection always there, if we are willing. HighContinue reading “The Water Of Life”

Independence Today the United States celebrates independence from a tyrannical government hundreds of years ago, the reverberations of which still shake the world today. So, what better day for us to celebrate our liberation as well from limitation thinking and living. Having stepped out in purpose, demonstrating freedom from the bondage of self, helping allContinue reading “Independence”

Inevitable Return Our existence in this flesh is but a moment in parentheses: Divine Love (birth-life-death) Divine Love. Having embraced Living on the Spiritual Basis this truth has become evident: we are not this body, we are Divine, eternal beings experiencing the human condition, learning to Love unconditionally, the I AM, our true self, existingContinue reading “Inevitable Return”
