Attitude is Always a Choice (& Such Discourse)

I just wanted to clarify further something I said in another context along the lines of it’s human and understandable to confuse and be overwhelmed by the problems and challenges and pains and sufferings of this world while being unawares or underwhelmed by the wonderful spiritual world, the Kingdom of Heaven, which is at hand.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not advocating that we ignore or deny physical world problems and challenges. I don’t advocate a cop-out. I’m not dealing in or entertaining or mongering denial.

That said, however, it is a true fact that I exist as a material avatar and as spirit simultaneously. Also, it is a true fact that my physical avatar has a limited shelf life and it will no doubt die. And will suffer on many an occasion in the limited duration before that happens.

However, the spiritual part of me will never die. (You don’t have to believe me, it is of no consequence).

This is what I mean when I say that I experience an on-going Schrödinger experiential existence. For I am literally alive and dead at all times. And the dead part of me is the real part. That is the part that experiences God realization, communes with all manner of beings of and from all time, and gathers abundance in peace and quietude and warrants perpetual thanksgiving and never prompts want or intention of any kind whatsoever.

You don’t have to believe a thing I say about this.

But I am quite joyfully happily dead and I am never unhappily alive.

As I said before, this is not a call to ignore or belittle all the obligations of this life. Rather is it a call to face everything bravely and with a large dollop of gratitude. Contentment is very key for we are given all we need when we release ourselves from the burden of wanting all we think we need. Who knows better? Us or the Creator?

And I am not advocating a turning away from the news or reality or things of this world. By all means be aware of the news. But, avoid interpretations of news and of “the world” and of this life (meaning solely this physical life) in a way as to be all-too-frequently and perhaps addictively saddened, discontented, disappointed, or in any way negative or ruefully suffering. Drop conspiracy and misery mongering! Seek the truth at all times. But handle the truth.

And, last point. I am not trying to pose myself as some superior being who is uniquely aware (or ‘woke’) and ‘better’ in any way to anyone. Each of us is on the path of the way (know it or not) (regardless what we believe or what traditions we honor or what we practice socially or in sincere quiet). It is not a race. Each of us contains a divine being that far outlives this mere and meager physical avatar who suffers and struggles in this physical world.

The physical world is the illusion. The spiritual reality is what really matters. Be grateful is all I’m saying. Quit asking for special entreaties and favors and ‘intentions’ and bargains et. al. Be content at all times and much, much, much more abundance will come.

Attitude is always a choice.

That is all.
