Spiritual Growth
© Excerpt Kabalarian Writings
A flower and its
resultant seed pod is the completion of a cycle of
expression which had its origin within the power
contained in the seed from which the plant and flower
grew.
In life, spiritual
attainment is the result of the fulfilment of individual
purpose. The nucleus of all life is the reason for
being, which is the motivating power expressing through
the form of life to bring about the complete unfoldment
of the purpose for the expression of the reason for
being.
The power in the seed is
the central force throughout the entire lifespan of the
plant, intelligently causing the unfoldment of natural
growth. The beauty of the fulfilment was part of
the nucleus; and every stage of growth, a preparation
for the final culmination.
Within each person exists
a nucleus, or reason for being which, if given full
expression, will culminate as a highly developed
awareness of mind, conceiving and understanding the
power of Consciousness on its universal level. In
studentship, we must recognize the understanding of the
inner potential (birthpath) as the nucleus of our being,
and grasp the ideals of universality that will direct
the inner power of life along its path of growth towards
its ultimate attainment, that of Universal Conscious
expression.
Thought for the Day
-
The greatest word in all languages is understanding. Learn to think about life: the part we are intended to play in the scheme of things. Learn to value the principle of relationship; i.e., we are all One Life, One Breath, and One God. Therefore, there is good and God in all things. Look always for the good and you will find it along with wisdom.
–Alfred J.Parker

There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried.
–Ralph Waldo Emerson
-
There is more to giving than just doing. It is being: being happy, being principled, being considerate and understanding, being a friend in all ways. And that kind of giving comes from within, because it is the outer expression of Universal Love.

There is nothing in life harder to learn that the lesson of service to your fellow man - to love him for what he is. It is easy to love yourself, but it is hard to love someone else. That is the lesson we have to learn. Usually we learn this lesson through bitter experiences.
–Alfred J. Parker
