LIFE AND THE LAW - STEPPING OUT!

STEPPING OUT INTO LIFE

What is the life that you have? You are a bundle of organic chemicals and minerals – you are a walking bag of water. All that you are would be nothing without the life that animates you.

And ordinary life is not enough. It’s not enough to be a mass of protoplasmic jelly that can manage to reproduce itself. What would you be without your awareness – your self-awareness, your point of view, and your opinions? What would you be without your precious memories, your learnings throughout your life?

And finally, what would you be without your hopes, your dreams, your drive, and your desires. What would you be without the Love that lives in you, and animates you?

This is your spirit. It is Spirit that drives you forward, that itches to be greater. It is not your soul. Your soul is the unconscious feeling in you – the feeling of simply being, along with the feelings of hunger, thirst, all the unconscious drives that we have.

A dog has a soul – but a dog never desires to be something it is not. A dog never desires to experience being more than a dog – or even other than a dog. No dog desires to try being a cat for awhile, just to see what it’s like. Yet if you could invent a machine that would let people be a dog, or a cat, or an eagle, for half an hour, you would have people lined up around the block, with twenty bucks gripped in every fist. People would go for that!

We have a spark that has existed since the dawn of time, and which now lives in us, yearning to experience Itself to the fullest extent possible through us and as us. We are the temples in which that Spirit dwells

You have that within you now, that has created the universe.
