No. 18 – Our Spiritual Identity

Here, we want to talk about the spiritual truth of our identity, the remembrance that we are NOT human beings on a spiritual journey, but rather, we are spiritual beings on a human journey.

When we remember we are spiritual beings first, then we remember our connection to the spiritual source of life, and all our fears and worries drop away. Being connected to the Source of the Life, we realize we will always be cared for and provided for, loved and nurtured. All fears of not having, not being good enough, not being worthy, they slip away… and we proceed in our lives with empowerment and joy.

Whenever we have a anxious or stressful moment in our lives, all we need to do is quickly remember our spiritual connection, and peace and serenity will return, even if the situation is a difficult one. We can better handle our difficulties if we are calm and centered, and when we realize that all our answers are within us. This technique also keeps us healthier, as our stress levels remain low, thus maintaining a healthy chemical balance in the body.

Growing spiritually brings greater health and joy. We often have to change or transcend negative ideas and beliefs that we mistakenly took on in childhood. Young children remember who they are, they don’t have all that negative conditioning piled on them. It’s been said, “Become like little children to enter the kingdom.” Remember who you are and watch that joy return. This week whenever you are stressed or have a thought of being “less than,” “not good enough,” or “fear not having what you need,” remember who you are, and watch that fear and negativity leave. And knowing your connection is the same as everyone else, watch all struggle with competition cease as we live in a world of equality and harmony, one race on a spiritual journey.
