Finding Our True Spiritual Identity

Author: Galoo

Butterflies Are FreeEach of us has in the past, or will in the future, stare up at the stars and wonder where we came from. History books are full of records of people searching for their “roots”. Who are we anyway?

Because the answer has been hidden through generations of time, people have failed to recognize it. Doctrine has conditioned our minds into believing someone else’s concept of the beginning of existence and of Life itself. The Biblical scholars want us to believe we came from dust. The scientific community would like us to believe we evolved from apes. Some paranormals should have us believe we came from aliens.

An Old Story About Entrance Into Heaven

Author: Galoo

There is an old, old story about a great spiritual teacher who knocked at the gates of heaven for admission into paradise. After some time, God came to the door and inquired, “Who is there? Who knocks?”

To this query, came the confident response, “It is I.”

“Sorry, very sorry. There is no room in heaven. Go away. You will have to come back some other time.”

The good man, surprised at the rebuff, went away puzzled. After several years spent in meditating and pondering over this strange reception, he returned and knocked again at the gate. He was met with the same question and gave a similar response. Once again, he was told that were was no room in heaven; it was completely filled at that time.

A Spiritual Analogy: Balanced See-Saws, Motionless Swings

Author: Galoo

Butterflies Are FreeIt is the ups and downs that make life interesting and fun. Spiritually speaking, life may even be compared to a playground.

As a child I found myself spending timeless hours in the summertime at the neighborhood park. Monkey bars, see-saws, push merry-go-rounds, swings, and sliding boards were the entertainment of the day. Looking back and remembering the variety of forms the playground took helps me realize the Truth of how life operates.
