The existential and internal crisis
which has engulfed mankind is not a piecemeal affair, it is a crisis
reaching into the most central fibers of human existence.
At this nucleus point of all our
lives lies the will to live or the will to die. Some might object to the
notion ‘the will to die’, but what it means is ‘the failure of the will
to live’.
There is no middle ground between
these two extremes. That which is not moving forward is moving
backwards. Moving backwards constitutes surrender to the forces of
torpor; a steady decline in energy that leads to stagnation and decay.
All material elements of life move
through this birth/death cycle. But human life has another dimension to
that of purely material and physical existence.
We are endowed with the power to
transform torpor into its opposite – an expansion of the life force.
Something which transcends material existence and produces the dynamic
flow which is the true expression of Life.
The trick is to maintain this dynamic; to keep it alight as the prime motivational force of one’s life.
To do that one needs an inspirational
point of focus. A goal to always be reaching for. Something which
demands daily attention, discipline and the inner desire to ‘become more
than one is’ at any particular moment of time.
This is the spiritual path.
Once one recognises that ‘what one
wants to become more of’ is an internal state of expansion – an
awakening of the soul – then there is no longer any confusion about the
place of the material and that of the spiritual.
Spirit is light, alive and in
movement. The material, while sharing the same original source point as
spirit, is associated with solidity, weight and a general lack of
movement. However, they are entirely complementary counterparts. One
cannot express itself without the close proximity of the other.
So the development of one’s spirituality takes shape within a physical shelter that supports its nurturing.
In society as a whole this position is reversed. The material is the goal – the main target of ambition.
Spirit, if it is acknowledged at all,
fills a secondary role and fails to make an impression on deeper
aspirations during a lifetime.
Needless to say, this is the wrong way round. An inorganic imposed state, not one’s natural course of exitsence.
For the state of existence on planet earth to change for the better, the spiritual must lead and the material follow.
This will produce a complete
metamorphosis of all living entities, as the consequent higher human
vibrational change will resonate through all living entities – plants,
insects, animals and even inanimate matter, acting as a form of tonic
for their fuller expression and onward evolution.
But mankind must set the higher vibrational tone....<<<Read More>>>...
