Weekly Passage - for week of 2/28/10



"One thing is certain: You did not choose to enter the spiritual path; you had no such power as a human being. As a matter of fact, as a human being, you might have rejected this way of life because the spiritual life will not enhance your material sense of good; it opens up a world of spiritual good. That is why people who believe that they can increase their physical health or material wealth through spiritual means have many lessons awaiting them, and perhaps the first of these is that they will increase their physical health and material wealth only in proportion as they drop these as aims and accept as their aim the desire for God-realization. It is true that these are added things, but this is not the goal. The goal of the spiritual life is to awaken in His image and likeness and to realize your spiritual identity as Christ, the Son of God."

-- from Joel Goldsmith's "The Art of Spiritual Healing"
