Spiritual teachings affirm the expansion into the universe of our loving nature in contrast with the contraction that results when fear assumes control and dominates our activities. Which would we choose if we had a choice? We should choose love.The past no longer exists, and we might remember that when we resist the present and beat a hasty retreat into the false safety of previous thoughts and the insecurity of purposeless actions. Spontaneity requires that we be willing to live in the here and now of the present moment, resist the influence of the past and trust in the future. How else can we enjoy an effective and life-affirming response to whatever the challenge and whatever adventures lie in wait? How else can we appreciate and fully-live the grand experience of being alive, sentient, self-aware and self-determining in a universe of such enormous creative potential?If what we bring forth from within us will save us, surely it is more than just the creative faculties of the human imagination. Creativity is not a substitute for salvation. Salvation must involve full knowledge of what it means to be a complete, self-realized human being, and our spiritual origins. We cannot rely on someone else to do this for us, nor the rote memorization of a call and response liturgy or something, or anything along those lines. We are the ones we have been waiting for.
