Orthodoxy Transforming Spirituality

Now, let’s look at another benefit of these two truths we have learned. What are those truths we have learned so far?

I.                    Everything has a beginning and an end.

II.                  Nothing is as it seems

These two truths, so fundamental and self-evident have wide implications for the spiritual life. They are available to everyone! They are part of Universal Spirituality. They are reality. They are obvious. You don’t need any revelation from anyone to know that these two truths are foundational to what we see and who we are. And, they will change your life if you believe them and retrain your brain through meditation to remember them.

Let’s look at another great benefit of the truth that everything has a beginning and an end.

Knowing this, remembering this and accepting this, believing this will bring into your life a beautiful new perspective. When you realize and accept it, you will have to admit you yourself have a beginning and an end. When you quit fighting that truth, you will open your eyes to the wonder of Immediacy.

Immediacy. Right now-ness. Your time is limited. There is no reason or value in wasting time. Time is short. Life is short. Time-wasters are blinded to the simple truth they have an end coming as surely as the sun will rise on us like it did on the Egyptians and Mayans.

Most people cannot take this. They turn their eyes away from it. They choose the darkness because they cannot bear the light of truth. It is too painful and frightening. Most people spend most of their lives trying to forget it or get out of it somehow. Death, they think, happens to everyone else, not them…at least not now.

So, they live a life either dwelling in the past (which cannot be repeated or erased) or they dwell in the future trying to prepare for what doesn’t exist.  By dwelling in the past and the future, they forget the now which is the only time any of us really have.

On the spiritual path, we experience the boon of immediacy. Now. Right now is the time for everything. If you have goals, now is the time. Concentrate on the now and put your whole heart into it. Throw yourself into the now and you will not believe how your next nows will be.
