Spirituality

So Jesus is walking back down the road after a long day sermoning on the mount. As usual, the road is lined with the curious, the skeptical and, of course, those with calamitous conditions wishing to be healed.

If you were at a big dance, the biggest you’d ever been to, in fact the biggest dance ever held and you saw that 49% of the dancers were pinned against one wall and 49% were pinned up against the opposite wall, only dancing among themselves, only dancing the same dance over and over again, only joking and being friendly with one another…

Space/Time is the straitjacket that mortals wear. From the moment of our birth to the moment of our death, we are trapped in the thick medium of space and time, there is no escape. Or is there?

The supremacy of space and time has taken quite a hit in the last 120 years, it doesn’t exert the dominance that it used to in the minds of men.

Another great paradoxical statement in spirituality is “in the world but not of the world“. It’s so strange and unusual a notion, it can be easily dismissed or ignored from a certain worldly position of logic or reason.  But if a great spiritual teacher declared this truth, was that person ignorant, insane, or deluded? What did he mean when he said “we are in the world but not of the world”.

Ask and you shall receive, ask and you shall receive, ask and you shall receive, blah, blah, blah. Haven’t we heard enough of this absurd and trite spiritual idea?

Yes, it has and it will never stop. It is the most powerful of all spiritual ideas and when put into place properly, becomes the most powerful tool in our tool kit to rearrange and upgrade our life.

A difficult subject for theology students that makes them stay up late at night and gives them a headache trying to understand is the concept of the Holy Trinity.

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, that’s one way of describing it. The great Yoga masters of antiquity described the same underlying principle differently, based on their experience in deepest meditation realizing the highest levels of consciousness.
