The Five Steps to Spirituality – Part 5

This is William LePar’s spiritual source, The Council’s, fifth step of the Five Steps to Spirituality.

The Council: If you take these five steps and apply them to your life, much spiritual growth can be accomplished.  In fact, one can accomplish a degree of spirituality that most have only dreamed of.

The next step in spiritual growth, this process, is:  Never accept any glories.  Remember, do what you must do.  Fulfill your responsibilities and your obligations in life.  Never wait around for that pat on the back.  Move on to your next challenge or your next step.  Many people who become involved in spirituality or in spiritual activities that are promoting spirituality make a problem for themselves.  It is bad enough that some of these people seek a reputation in the world, but it is even worse for these people when they seek a reputation among those people that they are involved with who may be attempting to bring a greater spirituality to others.  These spiritual movements are works dedicated to the Divine Source, and ultimately, these works are to bring glory to this Infinite Father.  Those who help are not permitted to take any part of those glories.  It is like this:  anyone who may serve or work for a commission, for what little bit of glory he can get out of it is a merchant, and he ought to be cast out of the temple. This can be applied to those money exchangers that are spoken of in the temple when the Christ them chased out.  They were not serving the people as a means of serving God; they were serving the people so that they could get their percentage out of it.

Remember, we must not be as the Pharisees were.  We must not stand before others beating our breasts and putting ashes on our forehead so that all may see how holy we are.  Do what you can do for others.  Do what you can for the Divine Source in the service to Him, but do not expect glories and praises.  All glories and praise belong to this Divine Source.  Those things that you can use in service for others and for the Divine are gifts that you have to help YOU grow, not to help you gain glories.

The Five Steps to Spirituality – Part 4

This is William LePar’s spiritual source, The Council’s, fourth step of the Five Steps to Spirituality.

The Council: If you take these five steps and apply them to your life, much spiritual growth can be accomplished.  In fact, one can accomplish a degree of spirituality that most have only dreamed of.

The next step:  Never pass anything on about anyone else that will hurt him.  Remember, a tale bearer has no place in the Divine's favor.  If you know anything that would hinder or hurt the reputation of one of God's children, bury it forever.  Wipe it from your mind and from your thoughts.  Remember, if you wish the Divine Source to be good to you, you must begin to be good to His other children.  Remember, the Divine Source invites you to a spiritual banquet, He invites you personally to sit at His table, but He expects you to have table manners.  He expects to teach you those table manners that you do not have, and remember He will not let you eat unless you obey the etiquette of the table that He has prepared for you.  Whatever you pass on that may hurt someone else, whatever little remark that you may carry that will hurt someone else you must immediately put away.  Bury it away so that it goes no further.  Do not add your own self to the hurt of others.  In the Divine Source's Eyes each of us is His child and He will not accept one child hurting another.
