Spirituality Information: You Are an Eternal Being

From Spirituality Information: Who Are You?,
A regular column by an Alumbo member, Feb 06, 2008         

Has your spiritual growth taken you to a point where you encounter the spirituality information known as “eternity?” This critical concept of “eternity” has huge ramifications about every aspect of your spiritual growth and evolution.

Let's look at God as a never-ending process of love. Let's look at our own lives as a never-ending process of love. Do you see the parallel?

You may be saying to yourself that by looking at our own lives as a never-ending process of love would not be a good sample because eventually we die and this human death stops the process. That would be a very astute observation except for the accuracy of the belief that our human “death” somehow stops the process of our existence and never-ending evolution.

For now, I am going to propose to you that the reality of this argument is that we never really “die.” Yes, it is true that this human form that we occupy, known as the human body, has the ability to cease its bodily functions and no longer be a functioning member of this earthly physical society.

However, it is not true that the phenomenon of human death means the end of your existence. You are a three-part being made up of mind, body and spirit. Your beingness is eternal, just like God's. The infinite intelligence that is God is the infinite intelligence that is you. God is eternal and you are eternal. What if you actually believed that last statement? God is eternal and you are eternal.

Can you see how everything in your life would change if you actually believed, with all your heart, that you are an eternal being? Can you see how limiting it is to believe that your existence ends when your human body not longer functions? Can you see how unlimited your horizons would be if you truly knew that there is no end to your existence?

Can you see how everything is a matter of perspective? If you perceive that you have a limited amount of time on this earth and then you die and your story comes to an end, you will look at that short life span from a perspective of limitations and unfulfilled needs and desires.

If you perceive that you have an unlimited amount of time on this earth, or any other cosmic setting of your choice, to fulfill whatever agenda you choose, you will look at that eternal life span from a perspective of having no limits on fulfilling any needs or desires that you choose.

That's a pretty liberating perspective and the amazing thing about it is that either one of these perspectives, these belief systems, is available to you. You are free to choose any belief system that you desire.

One of the keys to making these choices in life is to be aware that these choices exist. This book is going to help you with that awareness.

Another key to making a choice in what you believe about Life is to look at your choices and then ask yourself this question, “Which of these choices serves me?” You simply look at your choices and I mean you really look at them and then you go within yourself for the answer to the question, “Does this serve me?”

Does it serve you to believe that you have a limited existence that spans from your birth to your death? Or does it serve you to believe that you are an eternal being that is in the never-ending process of evolving?

Go ahead. Ask yourself these questions. Only you can answer these questions for yourself. There is no right or wrong answer. There is only the answer that you choose for yourself. Then ask yourself if your answer serves you.

Most of us have unconsciously been living with the belief that we are born, we live our lives and then we die. We have made life choices, throughout our entire lives, with this belief system wholly integrated into our decision-making process. We have seen the consequences of living within this limited belief system. We have justified and rationalized every choice that we have ever made with the idea in the back of our heads that we are all going to die. We have limited “who we are” and “who we can be” by employing a belief system that makes most of our lives seem meaningless.

The question is, “Does this serve you?”
