%ESSENCE BEING SPIRITUAL TRUE SELF OTHERS REFLEXIVE 950215

     The  essence of a spiritual being is in being present
to and with the ground of being true to self and others as
diverse expressions of the ground of being truly creative.

     The  essence  of  a  spiritual being is  not  in  the
exercise of any power of being in control,  in charge,  or
dominant in any way.

     Spiritual beings are  growing  in  dynamic balance by
being   reconciling   integrators  who   are   reflexively
responsive in honest cooperative ventures.

     Truly spiritual beings cooperate through the guidance
of  the  Holy  Spirit which transcends them all  by  being
present  in them all---shedding light on the way of  truth
so that they may see  clearly  the  way  to  personal  and
communal integrity.

     Holy spiritual beings are not dominated by any system
of: rules, laws, prohibitions, taboos, doctrines, rituals,
technologies,   fixes,  fixations,  etc.

     Holy  spiritual  beings are guided and encouraged  by
the Holy Spirit in the light of  what  is  truly  possible
within human relationships, and what is not truly possible
within human relationships.

     Holy  spiritual  beings are creative by  being  truly
present   to  each  other  in  the  Holy  Presence   which
encourages healthy  growth  and  change through liberating
reconciliation.

     Holy  spiritual  beings have not saved themselves  or
each  other  through  proper  conformity,   procedures  or
beliefs---rather they are  whole with each  other  in  the
Holy Presence which encourages  healthy  growth and change
through liberating reconciliation.

     The   true   spiritual  life  is  devoted   to   true
reconciliation  and  honest conflict resolution,   not  to
trying to determine who is saved and who is not saved.

     The true spiritual life  is NOT fixated in alienative
ways  upon any set of scriptures, doctrines,  rules, laws,
prohibitions, taboos,  technologies, instruments, rituals,
etc.
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
