One is on the Spiritual Basis or he is not, for there is no half-way house in this.
You are on the Spiritual Basis:
If you definitely give all power to God, in the most literal, practical, and matter-of-fact sense of the phrase.
If you really believe that prayer can do anything.
If you really believe that your happiness and well-being are vitally important in the eyes of God.
If you realize whatever ideas and beliefs you accept must be expressed in your surroundings, and in all your relationships and activities.
If you try to see the Presence of God everywhere.
If, in short, you understand that you are in a mental universe, that thoughts are things, and that one’s life history is fundamentally the expression of his belief about God.
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you (James 4:8)
Living on the spiritual basis is a radical departure from the way most humans live and perceive life. That upon which we mentally focus becomes the reality of our physical existence. When we draw near to God and focus on our belief in God, our world changes from the effects to the causes, form the medicine to the cure and from the carnal to the spiritual. This focus on God allows us to walk in grace, joy and peace. It opens us to God’s infinite power and creates the channel for God into our gardens. When we are one with the spirit, all things are possible and God’s love lifts and protects us. Then even when bad things come our way, we are spared our improved by them.
Drawing nigh,
Z gardener
