How does one live the spiritual life? The answer is simply to live creatively, because each of us is working to become a Co-worker with God.
Divine Spirit has a way of doing exactly what is right for everyone concerned at the moment.
If we want to keep the blessings of life coming to us, we must learn to be grateful for whatever is given.
The love and protection of the Holy Spirit are with you in all spiritual concerns.
As we come out of our childhood of spirituality into greater states, we learn to let people be.
Today someone said to another person, "You are so lovely."
And the other person answered, "Because you are seeing yourself."
And of course, it caught the first person by surprise. Generally we see in others what we are ourselves.
Before you can improve your life and find a measure of happiness, you must learn to do one thing every day out of pure love. That means, dont expect anything in returnneither thanks nor happiness. Pick that occasion carefully. Then, whatever that one act of giving of yourself to someone else is, do it with all your heart.
There is usually somewhat of a struggle when we move into a higher state of awareness, and that is natural. The problems in life can be dreaded with fear, or they can be seen as opportunities for growthand a challenge.
You must make up your own mind as to what you want to do. Consider all parts of your life, the financial and emotional included, and do what seems to be common sense. Then plan and work carefully.
Our body is a temple of God. We must take care of it because it is a house for Soul.
As we raise ourselves in the spiritual consciousness, we are better able to solve the problems of life. We are happy. We are at home in every environment.
