St. Paul provides us with the reason why we must agree to die to those parts of us that hope for a higher life to come:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The life divine, in its ceaseless revelation of creation, is inimitable; so we must be, too. To spiritually model oneself after anything or anyone\u2014no matter how sublime\u2014is imitation, and any form such imitation assumes, regardless of how sincere, is by its very nature antithetical to revelation.<\/p>\n<p>The realization of one\u2019s immortal Self is inseparable from its revelation. What is timeless isn\u2019t in a time to come; it is merely hidden within passing time, much as the sky often goes unnoticed because of the clouds that sail through its vast, open spaces. This exact same relationship holds true when it comes to you and what is divine. To ask yourself, \u201cWhat must I do in order to be all that I am?\u201d amounts to something like the eye asking, \u201cWhat must I do to be able to see?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The true spiritual life is incomparable; nothing comes before revelation of the living now, and nothing follows it. Dare to be\u2014to see just what you are in each moment revealed; give yourself to this task wholeheartedly. Your willing entrance into the whole estate of yourself is the same as entering into the unattainable life you seek.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yourimmortalself.com\/special\/beliefnet\">www.YourImmortalSelf.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is no \u201cright\u201d road to follow that leads to the realization of one\u2019s immortal Self.
