What Are We Accomplishing?

Are we really accomplishing anything, as we go about living our lives? Is our daily routine worthy of being a building block for the future and creating things after our own kind? Is our daily routine only good enough to be used as sand, for the building of a sand castle? A sand castle can look very pretty, even amazing sometimes with all of its intricate design. Nevertheless, a sand castle has no substance when it comes to functionality and stability. All it takes is a small wave for the beautiful sand castle to be wiped completely out, and once again become a part of the formless flat beach to be tread heavily upon by others. When our lives are not lived in a meaningful spiritual way, it is the equivalent to, and can only be measured against, the statue and functionality of a useless sand castle.

When we build our lives purely out of the values and goals set by human beings, our only building materials end up being the equivalent of sand and a little water. Here are some of the grains of sand that we use, money, clothes, cars, houses, furniture, pride, ego, lies, deception, and selfishness, and the grains of sand go on endlessly as they duplicate themselves. In addition, the water used to mix with the sand and hold it together, happen to be all of our tears of sorrow, disappointment, and regrets. Then one day the waves of life’s challenges rise up against us, and crashes down on our sand castles of life and wipes all that we were doing and gathering unto ourselves completely out, and once again we find ourselves flat on our faces and a part of the blank formless sandy beach floor to be trampled. So, what in the world do we do after that? We start all over again, doing the exact same things, and expect to get a different result. How many times must we be wiped out before we realize that we are simply wasting our time building castles out of sand?

First and foremost, we need the indestructible substance of DIVINE INTELLIGENCE to build a firm foundation, for our new structure of life to be built properly. The indestructible substance I am speaking of, is our Spiritual practices, they are also called our Spiritual Rituals, which is no more than a series of Spiritually based actions we consciously perform on a regular basis. We perform many rituals, Spiritual, religious, and secular, and we are not even aware of them most of the time. That is because we have been living the unconscious life of a sand castle on a stormy beach. The average person walks round unconscious like a zombie, doing this and that on automatic pilot day after day. We must wake up and exist in a Spiritual Conscious State of Being. Otherwise, this lifetime will be lived in devoid of substance and true meaning.

We are Spiritual Beings, going through a physical experience. However, we are acting as if we are physical beings having an occasional Spiritual experience. We are allowing things, and people to control our every thought and action, when we should be allowing DIVINE INTELLIGENCE to guide us through the mazes of this physical experience we call life. Because we are not allowing DIVINE INTELLIGENCE to guide us, we are pledging our allegiance to the material world, negativity, and other sand castle builders, that do not have a clue why our sojourn through this dense physical plane was designed as it is. Do you know the old saying, the blind leading the blind? That is the category of life which many people are a part. I speak from experience; I was once a part of that category, and just as blind as everyone else, maybe more so than many. Years ago it had gotten so bad for me that my sand castles were wiped out by the waves of life before I even finished building them.

Can we honestly say that our lives have true meaning and purpose, and we are affecting others in a positive way, when we are living and existing solely for material gain such as our jobs, houses, cars, and other empty material possessions? If Spirituality, which is our Personal Intimate Relationship with GODDESS/GOD, is not our primary drive and focus, we are sheep being herded over a cliff. If our lives only consist of getting up in the morning and going to work, coming home to spend a limited amount of time with our family, watching TV, eating, and then going to bed, and repeating that routine day after day, we are completely missing the point for us being here. If that is all that life is to us, what is the purpose? There is no purpose in living life if that is all life is about. In addition, if we are living life in hopes of possibly making it to heaven and not going to hell, we have been duped once again. Our heaven and hell is experienced in our present lifetime, heaven and hell is what we create right here, and right now. The life that most people are living can actually be called hell. Because the life many live, is lived without a conscious relationship with DIVINE INTELLIGENCE our Spiritual Parent MOTHER/FATHER GODDESS/GOD.

What can we accomplish without the guidance of DIVINE INTELLIGENCE? We can accomplish absolutely nothing of meaning without DIVINE INTELLIGENCE’S guidance. That is why so many marriages and other types of relationships such as friends, and the relationships between groups of people like countries are crumbling and becoming sand on the beach of life. The only way to transform that sand into a solid useable substance is with the Intense Fire of SPIRIT. The intensity of the Awesome Fire of SPIRIT, will transform the sand into a Precious Crystal, and make it a Sacred Instrument that houses the full color spectrum of Creative Light and Vibrations of Eternal Life in it’s Full Abundance, because it is Spiritually created and based, and it is also Spiritually charged.

Therefore, in essence, if what we think we are accomplishing does not include DIVINE INTELLIGENCE as our foundation and our only authority and source of supply that we follow, we are only building castles of sand, which the waves of life are patiently waiting to destroy. As for myself, I choose to build a Living Castle that is constructed out of the Divine Indestructible Living Substance of Unconditional Love, in which SPIRIT gives to me daily.
