Counteracting Adversity
How do we counteract physical, emotional, and social
adversity? First, we must have the right attitude. Then, we must know the
truth that will set us free
To counteract adversity you have to know two facts:
(1)
There is life in your spiritual being
(2)
There is death in your physical body.
After you know the facts, then you must take
the following actions.
-
To counter any adversity you must raise your
awareness to the spiritual and beyond your material or physical body.
-
Raising your awareness to the spiritual and
beyond the physical heals you.
-
This awareness-raising of the spirit depends upon
your ability to give and receive unconditional love and to get outside
of yourself. When you are trapped inside yourself you are trapped in
your physical body.
-
Your physical body ought to be a servant to your spirit.
However, your spirit is often a slave to your physical body, especially if your
physical body is in pain or suffering some kind of adversity.
-
When you are ill and hurting, you tend to ignore
your spirit.
-
What is most important to remember is you are a
spiritual being having physical experiences, and you, by your choice,
do not need to be a physical body having a spiritual experience.
-
Recognizing this truth…the truth you can be
spirit first and physical body second…can change everything in your life.
-
The change coming from realizing you are spirit
first and body second begets to you life dominance, life power, and a
victory over circumstances.
-
Consequently, within every adversity, you can
choose to live within a shield of Light. You can actually live within
this shield of Light because your real nature is that of a spiritual
being.
-
With your intention to do so, you can put your
body's needs, deprivations, and discontents under the control of your
spirit.
-
Instead of living in or living with physical
negatives, you can live in and live with the positives of peace, love,
and joy as negatives come into your life if you work at the
spiritual level of things.
-
When you live in the spirit rather than in the
physical, there may be deprivation but there will also be an overflowing of
God’s love within you to compensate for the deprivation.
-
External changes within your body and within your
world take place when the spirit rules the body through love.
-
Change on the spiritual level is concerned not
with what you do, but who you are.
-
Using these principles, you can live your life
with love in spite of disability.
-
Using these principles, you can conduct your life
with peace and serenity in spite of adversity.
