Investments........

A recent oracle:
"One can only draw from that which he is invested in"
As we allocate the spiritual meaning behind this axiom, we have the picture of a banking procedure, the process of 'investing' which produces a return. An 'investment' is something that we give up, even as a form of 'sacrifice' (in the ancient religious understanding). Of course, this is to be referenced upon the One Value that is 'God'...the Fountainhead of all...the eternal Source.
The key thought here is 'conscious investment' as to also be conscious of the blessings from the investment, a continual exchange, return, circulation of perpetual good and abundance. Thru the practice of 'spiritual awareness' and 'meditation', we become aware of the drawing power of Spirit. Our life becomes a sacrifice of Joy, an inner-mergence of sharing, a living communion.
As we live in God-consciousness, 'Practicing the Presence'(as some of the older saints called it)..all the resources, provisions of grace are bountifully ours, - we come into 'conscious possession and enjoyment' of the all-satifsying One. May your draws be rich and rewarding per the measure of your investment and sacrifice in His Love.

I like your tying this in with "sacrifice", and it helps me more fully appreciate the overall meaning. Even the ancients were aware that an oblation poured onto the ground was not literally physically whisked off to its recipient. Old writings have referred to it as holy wastefulness- it is the personal act of release that counts, not where it goes.
I think what keeps many people from being spiritual in these days are the things that many people in this age can't bear to sacrifice; time and thought. You have to devote a lot of time and thought to understanding and forming any theology. In this era, both your wristwatch and your brain are taxed by every day demands, and I notice sometimes how much I give of myself to just reading things, and forming coherent ideas from what I find. How many take such studies upon themselves today? Still, if you do, you become a more complete person overall. |

investingIndeed,...spirituality, theology, philosophical exploration...all requires the appropriate investment of time, meditation, which alone produces the results of discovery and experience. Those not willing or inspired to ask, seek and knock...cannot receive, find or discover. Those alive to the Spirit's calling pave the way forward. Some things must be 'earned' in life, as this is justice and according to universal laws.
