The Delicate Touch of Virtue
Author: Ida Lawrence
We’ve heard the phrase since we were children. In childhood it was often attached to religion. After religion came self-help books, occult study and psychology. Then came the time when we decided to be free, but as it turned out there was no freedom found… just people yearning, adrift and bored.
After that came new information, then service, followed by sacrifice. Then it was time to repair the damage, and heal and ask questions. Who am I again…? Have I learned anything? Yes, I’ve learned that everything is spiritual work: there is no need to go looking for what is right in front of you, and in you. Just do Life with heart.
On this journey it’s not the intellect that leads the way. Intellect without spirit is cold and very limited… no heart at all. It’s not even experience that leads the way. Experience is only valuable when properly understood and utilized. The victory goes to the spirit. Some say spirit is the only life. I tend to agree.
Is everyone born with the living spirit in potential? I suppose it’s possible. But… if everyone were born with even a potential yearning toward the light and the propensity to pursue it, would the world be as degraded and dense as it is? So I do wonder.
