“Never Abandon Principle, Even on Special Occasions”

Dr. Robert Bitzer

         A friend of mine, Colin Tipping, wrote a book in 2003 entitled A Radical Incarnation, in which he tells the story of a soul whose mission it is to become President of the United States and, during his term, bring the country to the brink of disaster and total breakdown. The purpose of this mission is to facilitate a spiritual breakthrough that would begin the mass awakening of humanity to the purpose of creating heaven on earth. Hoe interesting! No matter what side of the current political debate you are on, you must admit that we have come to a unique point in our history.

         Colin recently observed we appear to be right smack dab in the middle of this very crisis, and in his monthly newsletter suggests we have an important choice to make: We can either see our current situation as part of a mass transformation of consciousness, guided by the Infinite  Wisdom of Spirit, or we can get caught up in fear, anger, blame and division, experiencing ourselves as victims and, perhaps, even panicking. “We can keep our vibration high and make our own individual contribution to raising mass consciousness” by practicing forgiveness - yes, forgiveness - of politicians and bankers and Wall Street gamblers that appear to be at the center of our financial crisis.

         Joel Goldsmith, in his wonderful book, Practicing the Presence, asks, “Are we that receives, or are we that center from which the infinity of God flows out? In the answer to that lies of our degree of spiritual fulfillment...WE dare not ever look outside of our own being for our good, but we must ever look upon ourselves as that center from which God is flowing... Ultimately... This correct letter of Truth registers in consciousness and the Spirit takes over.”

         Let us stand in the Truth no matter what the appearance may be! Spirit is all-inclusive, within which we live , move and have our being. If we think our good must come to us from a particular source - whether  a person, job, retirement fund,or savings account - we miss a major point in our spiritual teaching, as Goldsmith states it: “The beginning of wisdom is the realization that the kingdom of God is within us and that it must flow out from us.”

         If we can sustain the consciousness of this Truth, no matter what, we will abide in the experience of ultimate Good that God is, in Its eternal sufficiency and flow of supply. Or we could panic - but let’s not! Instead, let’s celebrate our decision to live in the consciousness of Spirit as Source, to which we are eternally connected and from which every form of good flows into our experience - no matter What!
