spiritual currency (pt.2)
What's the difference between spiritual currency (see pt.1 ) and the standard issue (see "currency")? Both are the same "stuff" of life (the code behind our genetic code); both are the basic units of awareness, the software behind our thoughts, wants, and actions.
But one type diminishes the ego makeup; the other reinforces it. The price for converting one to the other is called purification in many spiritual traditions.
It goes further than conversion..........eventually all of our baggage gets thrown overboard, the good as well as the bad. It's a case of purposely throwing out the baby and the bath water.
As the deck gets cleared we are left with less distractions. We are left with more awareness of and more attraction to the Oneness of the Beloved One.
You have an exceptionally wonderful inspirational blog, my friend.I would like to post your thoughts on my humble blog from time to time for the benefit of my readers.(mentioning your name as source)I hope you won't mind.
God bless.

RESPONSE TO SURJIT: Thanks for your kind remarks and please include anything of interest. The subtitle of your weblog states very well what I strive to remember and reflect in these writings: "The One Lord is deep within each and every heart."

Yes, my ego-mind is a relentless debt-collector that I feel I am in this world to transcend. He tries every trick in the book, but as I take him into my awareness with acceptance, he has nothing to fight and will integrate - but I still have to take care and be mindful! I have learned to accept that this may well take this lifetime and more, but the future isn't yet. All so easy, yet so complex. No, not really, it's as I make it.
Thank you for visiting and commenting on my blog :-)

RESPONSE TO DEREK: Thanks for comment. Great image of the debt-collector as "relentless." It brings to mind tax collecting as a theme for a future post.
