One topic has seemingly brought all parts of the world into thinking and in many cases obsessing about the same thing at the same time – coronavirus. This has brought many into a state of panic. Tried buying a package of toilet paper early in the pandemic? Fear of the unknown has always been at the root of most people’s fears. That is why the fear of death is such a common denominator among many. How many know someone who has experienced death and returned to talk about it?
Through the ages there have been plagues, pestilence, war, weather disturbances, and, at the time, people directly involved had the same fears that many have today only there was no way of publicizing it. World news networks, electronic communications and the internet has changed that.. The common denominator of all of these past tragedies is that they all ended. And the earth still spun and circled the sun, humanity survived and flourished, and progress continued unabated, in most cases ending up better than before.
Studying Spirituality has taught me that I am not in control of anything beyond my own self. I am not God. What I am is an individualized expression of God and one with all that exists. My own true nature is spiritual and perfect. When I use my God given Free Will to judge, harm or otherwise injure, it becomes dangerous. When I surrender my will and my life to this Higher Power, as I understand Him, I don’t give up a thing. I gain everything! Peace, Joy, Happiness are mine for the taking.
I never really knew peace or joy before I started on this Spiritual learning curve. Yes, I thought I was happy but now I know how really shallow this all was. Without inner peace there is no real joy, only a very temporary feeling of relief.. The Happiness, Joy, and Freedom that most wish for can be yours if you only CBA – Conceive it, then Believe it, and then finally you will Achieve it.
