It is not sitting somewhere, waiting for us to realize it. Whether we realize it or not, it is right now flowing from us, through us, for us.
We do need to plug into that good. We already have our set of instructions...unfortunately the instructions are all about ego reduction in depth, and we're all about "standing up for myself."
Every great religion that I know of says in some form or other: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." That is ego reduction in depth. We can start there. The only catch is, we can't do unto others so we can get...we can only do unto others so we can give.
If we're going for spiritual growth in order to get anything, up to and including peace of mind, we're going for a self-determined objective which has nothing to do with spiritual growth. If we sincerely do unto others in order to give, we plug into all the good there is, i.e., God, the Father within.
Thank You.
