BETTER is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, is a fool.
— Proverbs 19:1
King James Version of the Bible
“Reaching For The Light”
Attitude … p 24
When all is said and done, it is attitude — how we view the world and our role in it — that determines how we value ourself. To our great misfortune we all too often allow our worth to be determined by worldly thoughts of the mind, when our worth stems from our Higher Self, our immortal life-giving soul.
It is a fool’s choice to be all things to all people. Our primary concern is to honour that which is uniquely ours — our God-given self. In the doing we as well pay homage to the worth of others. We are of no use to ourself, much less others, if our footing is on shifting sands. Without fail, honesty and truthfulness must be our abiding companions.
No matter our good intentions; no matter how hard we try, bodily ills cannot be overcome by human will power. It takes God’s Higher Power that is ever present within us. It is God’s will alone that obtains: we have but to acknowledge His Love and surrender to His Will that He may work His wondrous ways: ways that salve the very soul, bringing us ever closer to Him.
The oft-quoted aphorism, “To thine own self be true,” embodies within itself the insightful truth that suffuses throughout our very Being. Truth is an antidote to the turmoil of the mortal mind, helping to keep us grounded and to come to know ourself.
The sky all but opens up to us in that magically tranquil moment when, from out of our unconsciousness, we rightly sense that Mind imbued with the Power of our Higher Self alone conquers all.
