Every choice and every action contribute to your spiritual home

The pursuit of the ideal—the striving to be Godlike—is a continuous effort before death and after. The life after death is no different in the essentials than the mortal existence. Everything we do in this life which is good contributes directly to the enhancement of the future life.

Treatise103 section 5 (page 1134)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   My God, may I ask You. I was thinking about life and realized we actually choose all day long, for the small or the big, for the healthy or the unhealthy, for the good or the bad, for the loveless or the loving. And actually so to speak everything is really important and has big consequences. And at the same time, there should be no stress and tension and pressure and a sacred must, because then we become rigid fundamentalists. And then I also came across this quote from the Urantia book, which confirms that everything is really very important.  How do we reconcile all this?

Would You like to  comment on this? 

 It's a paradox, My son, and I like to comment on this. Especially since nowadays more than before people have come to believe that everything must be possible, so to speak the sacred individualism while at the same time everything has consequences, as We know.  How do you reconcile that all, and what is Our perspective from the spiritual world?  Here it  comes

First of all Our perspective because that determines your perspective, in the end. 

We view everything with great love, great patience and a lot of compassion. It is true that everything has permanently great consequences, and that you must always suffer the consequences of your actions, sooner or later. Even if you do so in the deepest secret, hidden in your own home, or in your inner self.  

But the consequences are just, the laws of God are simple and the hints of God to do the right endlessly and the patience of God as you goof, in a thousand times and endlessly.  So in a way, namely Our way, everything is fine, even if it's not fine. This sentence is very important, My son, 

everything is fine, even if it is not fine.

Because the consequences, the corrections, the perspectives and the correct course of action are already embedded in the failure to act properly. Unconditionally and accurately.   

And now your perspective.

So everything you do always has great consequences, because there is no sparrow falling off the roof and God will know of it. Everything you do is extremely important. It is literally a permanent building of your spiritual home. You are contributing constantly to your spiritual dwelling with all your thoughts, all your feelings and all your actions.

And if you come to realize that you can create a ruin, but also a spiritual palace, why contribute even longer to a ruin? What is the point of destroying life by your own actions, making life ugly, planning your own future suffering. Why would you still do so? 

I like to mention the remark of a married woman who mused about possible infidelity because she ran into a nice other man. She spoke the winged words: "When I consider what an anguish I call over my loved ones and myself when I go into this possible infidelity, I recline and realize that I am not in favour of it and do not want to do so”.  

And that would be a nice approach for all of you, if you deal with this paradox. Do you want to accept the consequences of your pernicious actions for the environment and for yourself? And if that's what you want and you are doing the pernicious thing, then it's fine as well. Not immediately, but it'll be fine later on, after some suffering. And that’s an euphemism.

My blessings to you all

Man is not responsible for his nature, but for acting out of it

#ALHAMDHULILLAH‏@Alhamdhulillaah A person is not to be blamed for his nature. Rather, he is to be blamed if he acts according to his nature. (Junayd al-Baghdadi)

Would you like to comment on this tweet?

Truly a thought of love and wisdom.
I’ll like to go into it. The thought has two important aspects.

“A person is not to be blamed for his nature”

The loving aspect of this thought: acceptance of the nature of man with all her beautiful and primitive features. This will make man considering himself and his fellowman with his heart and with mildness. The world would be a better world if everyone did so. But be assured, this is ahead. From the spiritual world, where your time is in perspective, and past and future are coming together in the here and now, We are foreseeing a world where this all will be realized. Your world is evolving in the only direction possible.

“Rather, he is to be blamed if he acts according to his nature”

The wise aspect of this thought: in what man does with his nature , his free will is in picture, and this free will is highly respected by Us.
Even Hitler could go his own way, although his actions already were containing decay and own destruction.
The spiritual world does have her laws of a righteous correction.

When will the spiritual world blame someone "acting according to one’s own nature" and when not? I’am not going into the blaming and condemning by the human world, this is indeed  too familiar to you all.

The spiritual world is simply having a different and wiser perspective than humans have.

See for example http://watchthegod-english.blogspot.nl/2012/04/who-has-more-distance-from-gods-house.html

What is not resented, but accepted in love and wisdom, is acting out of thoughtlessness, ignorance, force majeure, weakness, anxiety and distress.
What really is resented, but in love and wisdom corrected, is acting out of malice, indifference, deliberate aggression, selfishness, from tyranny and when vulnerable people or children are victimized.

“A person is not to be blamed for his nature. Rather, he is to be blamed if he acts according to his nature”

Man proposes, but God disposes.

If you could observe with how much love and wisdom thugs, criminals, derailed persons and addicts are received in the spiritual world, you'd better understand it is never up to you humans to blame your fellow men anything.
Simply because it is not at all your capability to make distinction between good will and bad will.
Everything is accepted by Us, but lovingly and wisely treated. That’s including acceptance. And correction. And confrontation with all one has done out of free will.
But always according to the spiritual laws, not according to the limited understanding of man.

My blessings to you all
