EXPERIENCING OUR
SPIRITUAL DNA
We are actually experiencing it all the time--we just
don’t recognize it.
First, let’s establish what it is.
GOD=SPIRIT=LOVE/JOY/PEACE=YOU=SPIRIT=LOVE/JOY/PEACE. (Simple math.)
We wonder about all the other stuff--like a body, and the occasional really-bad-attitude, which may make the body do some not-so-nice things. The truth of the matter is, we will one day drop our body like a suit of clothes and keep right on going. Bodies are spiritually “neutral”--they do only that which the mind dictates. Other than the sexual difference, Mother Teresa and Adolf Hitler had pretty much the same equipment, which met the same end (death), but each had a dramatically different mindset. Each body was used as the mind directed.
Let’s examine the LOVE/JOY/PEACE dynamic.
There is a reason why the pursuit of LOVE is such an important part of our experience. It is an indicator of our spiritual DNA. The feelings of LOVE, and being in LOVE, drive much of what we do for a reason. It feels good to feel LOVE, to be in LOVE, and to be LOVING--the closest connection we have to who we really are. (Recognize how miserable we are without it.)
Now, consider all the creative ways we come up with to bring ourselves the feelings of JOY. They are as varied as we are. We pursue them because the feelings of JOY feel really good. Once again, they are an indicator of who we really are.
As much as we like to enjoy (fill in the blanks), we also realize that we require downtime--PEACE--because it is our natural state of BEING. Some require more, some less, but we all require it. No matter how much “JOYing” we may be having, PEACE is where we recharge our batteries.
It has been stated, “The Kingdom of GOD covers the earth, yet we do not see it.” This is what was seen then, as well as now. Whenever LOVE is extended, JOY is expressed, and PEACE is experienced--no matter what the form or context--there you have the “kingdom” manifested.
Some have a greater identification with these feelings being who they really are, and are therefore greater expressions of it. Others are a bit behind the curve. (There are pictures of even Hitler LOVING his dog--trace evidence.)
The challenge is developing the recognition to see our spiritual DNA, within and without. Once we start to recognize these feelings within as the experience of our TRUE spiritual DNA, we will then start to recognize their manifestations without. Pretty fun stuff when we start to have this mind shift.
The path of facilitating this mind shift is the development of a new pattern of experience. We need only to start recognizing all the ways our SPIRIT directs our mind towards the feelings of LOVE/JOY/PEACE. These are not small things. They are the evidence of experiencing our spiritual DNA.
LOVE EVERYBODY
