Orthodoxy Transforming Spirituality

Everything is temporary, the first great spiritual step. If you really believe everything is temporary, that everything has a beginning and an end, what will your behavior look like? For one thing, patience will increase 100 fold. Why? Because you know that whatever you are facing will change if you wait. Since everything changes, negative situations need only be outwaited.

That is what patience is. Out-waiting negative situations and doing nothing until they change…and they will change. They must. Why? Because everything changes.

Anger will vanish from your life. Why? Because anger is the result of impatience. Anger tries to make something change before it is ready to change on its own. Anger resists the normal pattern of the birth, life and death or situations. You simply cannot get angry if you have patience. Anger wants change right now, right this minute. However, the changes that anger sets in motion usually creates more negative situations you will have to out-wait. Therefore, anger is useless if you really believe that everything changes and that everything, every little thing is temporary.

Also, your delight will increase! Delight. When was the last time you can say you were truly delighted?

Start today with your new belief system of everything being temporary. If you believe this obvious truth, then everything you experience that is good is precious. It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience to be savored, delighted in and paid attention to in great detail. Delight is the positive side of patience.

Patience out-waits the negative until it changes. Delight enjoys that positive because it will change! Let’s see, are these things, patience and delight spiritual qualities? Absolutely. They are perfectly in harmony with our new remembering of old truth.
