A TUG OF WAR : That no one likes being told what to do is not an indictment of our character. The sense of disquiet occasioned by such an admonition stems not from personal shortcoming, but goes directly to the dichotomy of our very Being: the mortal body and the immortal soul.
                                                          
Custom and belief have long acquainted us with a mode of living conducive to bodily comfort, while at once antithetical to the true source of inner peace and harmony; that of the divinely God-given soul.

For our own well-being and that of others, it is clear that we have a personal responsibility to achieve a balance between worldly pursuits and spiritual enlightenment.

Mastery of thought is paramount to all else. Thus may we see only the good in others, and thus are our thoughts transcended to a higher spiritual plane whereby we instinctively manifest God’s goodness and love.

Today's Reflection ...

Pray be conscious of the fact that our original, or natural, state is that of divine innocence, of purity, of love—in short, of God-given goodness: The essence of life itself; in truth, our very soul.

It is this “inner being,” our immortal self, which at once characterizes our humanity and enables our spiritual relationship with God.

That we are often unaware of, or at times deny, the existence of our true inner self leads to untold sorrow.  That we fail to act and to remedy our sorrow when the solution is ever at hand, is to deny our right to happiness, to peace of mind and to a sense of overall well-being.

Giving thanks to God throughout the day frees us of idle thoughts and takes us to a higher, spiritual, plane.  In time, we come to sense a heretofore unknown inner peace that loosens the bonds of worldly ways.  The new-found love we feel for ourself can now freely be shared with others: We are at one with God.

Duality of Body and Soul...

MORALS and ETHICS are fundamental to human well-being; traits that bespeak honesty, integrity and truthfulness.  They are of our divinely immortal soul; hence our lifelong providential guideposts.

That we are as well born of mortal body and must come to terms with our innate dualism, means quelling the workings of the mind; thus to give vent to our spirituality.

Invoking the soul’s spiritual emanation – a matter of becoming one with God – means quitting mundane thoughts of the mind in favour of those acknowledging God’s presence, and putting our life in His. Aught else will give inner peace and harmony.
