You are spiritual

One of the most liberating truths Christian Science teaches is that we are spiritual right now.

People are commonly taught that they are mortal, fallible, and inevitably held hostage to sin, disease and death. Human experience confirms this belief with suffering, trial and evidence of lack. But Jesus Christ taught an opposite truth. He said the “Kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

How close is your hand?

It’s closer than close. It’s attached! It’s here and now. It’s a part of your body.

And the same rule applies to heaven’s blessings.

Spirituality is here and now. It’s not afar off. It’s not remote to us. It’s not something gained in the future. Spirituality is the reality of our individuality in this instant.

We are who we are. And who we are, is spiritual! It has to be. How could it be otherwise?

Matter does not evolve into Spirit. A mortal does not somehow transform into an immortal. That is impossible. There is nothing in matter to identify with Spirit. And there is nothing in mortality that has even a hint of immortality.

The mortal is the finite, temporal and non-intelligent. The immortal is the infinite, the eternal and the intelligent. Mortality and immortality have nothing in common.

If we’re mortal, we are indeed in a hopeless situation. All would seem lost.

But there is always hope. There is always a place for healing. There is a beautiful wholesome reality about life to embrace, accept and experience. And it’s called immortal Life!

We are not mortal. We are immortal.

Life, spiritual Life, is here and now. It’s not in the future. We’re living it at this very moment.

To the human mind, spiritual reality seems remote and distant. But that’s because the human mind tries to sum up existence in physical terms. And it’s all wrong and upside down in it’s conclusions.

The physical sense of things must be tossed aside and replaced with the spiritual truth. Then we experience spiritual truth in concrete tangible ways everyday.

We are spiritual now. We aren’t going to be anymore spiritual tomorrow.

It is divine Life that sustains us, gives us breath, strength, power, ability, wisdom, insight, stature, wealth and substance. Life is ever-present, sustaining our being. Life goes on no matter how many times mortal mind believes death happens.

In the big picture scheme of things, death doesn’t happen. No one ever dies. What appears to be death is but a moment of fear, Mary Baker Eddy explains. Life continues. It never stops.

We’re living our eternal spiritual life right now.

And this is such a wonderful truth to accept and live!

It takes all the fears and worries away that lead to suffering.

Rather than living in fear of mortality, we spend our time, thought and energy rejoicing in our spirituality. This is a much happier and healthier way to live.

You are spiritual—today! You are the offspring of Spirit, the inspiration of divine Mind, the vitality and strength of Life, the beauty and health of Soul. You have all of the goodness of God you could ever have, right at this moment, built into your being.

What are you waiting for? Your life is not on hold. Your health is not in the future. It’s present and now, in your spirituality, in God, which is where you truly live and move and have your being.

Enjoy being spiritual today. It’s the most fun and liberating way to live.

Hugs…
