The Spiritual Process of Eternal Being

Discover how your perspective on eternity is critical for your spiritual growth. If you believe you are an eternal being you will have a much easier time and really enjoy the process of life as a human being.

We are conditioned from birth without spirituality information that serves us. Our spiritual growth cannot begin until we break from this conditioning and allow spirituality information to come to us that talks about our eternal nature.

From the time we become cognizant we are told that we are going to die. Not only are we going to die but also, once we die that is it for our existence. Now, we are told about some kind of afterlife but the conditions and parameters of this place we may go after death are so nebulous that we don't concern ourselves with it too much until it gets closer to our time to go.

We are told, and we believe, that the life form known as human beings has a limited existence on this physical planet called earth. This belief in our limited existence translates into a belief of our limited abilities and capacities to achieve our desires during this limited existence.

We don't have enough time to do every thing we want or need to do in order to fulfill our grandest intentions and desires. We don't think we have the tools we need to create the life that we aspire to when we visualize ourselves as the person that we want to be.

We allow the highest vision of ourselves to languish in the dreams of unfulfilled intentions while we settle for the less than grand version of ourselves that we encounter on a day-to-day basis.

We don't see any way out of our predicament because we have been told, and we believe, that that is just the way life is and if you want it to get better then you must work harder, play by the rules and don't rock the boat. The only other alternative available to us is to buy a winning lottery ticket and then, magically, all of your problems will be solved (or will they?).

What kind of process is this? This is the life process of limited thinking and living within a limiting belief system. This is living within a belief system that is based in fear.

We started out this premise by saying ?from the time we become cognizant we are told that we are going to die. Not only are we going to die but once we die that is it for our existence.?

Have any of you ever been told anything but that or some variation of this basic life premise? Do you believe it? Here's the deal. It is impossible to view life as a process if you continue to believe in this limiting paradigm of your existence coming to an end when you physically die. According to this belief, our life process stops when we die. This is a very limited interpretation of the concept of a ?process.?

We need another way to look at this. We need another perspective. We need to shake up our thinking. We need to think outside of the box.

Once again, as Albert Einstein said, ?You can't get any revolutionary ideas by using the same thoughts you have been thinking. You have to change the way you are thinking and think different thoughts.?

Let's pretend that since the time we first became cognizant of our world, as young babies, our mothers and fathers and aunts and uncles and grandpas and grandmas and every body that came into our existence told us that we are eternal beings with the power to create in our lives anything that we desire.

We are told that everything in life is a matter of choice and therefore it is important that you make conscious choices because every choice we make in life is creative and has a natural consequence. We are told that every consequence of our choices has one of two effects. It either serves us or it doesn't serve us. We are told that we need to be responsible for our creations because they not only affect ourselves but they affect everyone.

We are also told that, in actuality, we are all one when we view ourselves from the spiritual nature of our three-part beingness. We are told that at the core of our being we are love. We are told that we may someday choose our physical death, but that choice will not stop the on-going evolution of our beingness because we are also told the grand truth about us. We are told that we are eternal beings and that the life we are experiencing in the present moment of now is part of a process.
