All beings have their origin in Spirit that is ever unchanging. Jesus referred to this eternal truth when he prayed "Father, glorify me with the glory I had with Thee before the worlds were." Existence is eternal.

We are here on earth to fulfill our own soul's destiny, for this we are given certain strengths, inspirations, and talents. To cast these aside and refuse to fulfill the law of one's own nature is to "sin" or miss the mark in life.

Following one's bliss is to follow the expression of the soul as the Higher Self intends it to be. We are all here with a divine plan and purpose to our existence. To follow our bliss is to follow the activity of Spirit in and through us.

Those who are spiritually awake realize that there is one focus and purpose for life and one only. That purpose is the realization of the Indwelling Divine Self. This is the key to being in the world but not "of it." Everything that we do, we do for God-realization.

At the core of our being, we are already divine. There is no need for spiritual practices for the sake of creating a spiritual condition. Spiritual practices merely clear away the obstructions to perceiving the truth of who we are.

Devotees on the spiritual path who cling to their rules and rituals without clearing the heart of greed, attachment, and pride suffer when they do not get the results they are seeking. Even spiritual work is to be given up to God as an offering without expectation of return.

The One Divine Life is all there is. In a practical sense in our daily life this means that we recognize all as Divine--everyone and everything.
