RE: The struggle between the flesh and spirit
Thank you for this raw and very vulnerable post. I pray for all to find the empathy needed to make the 'turn around', and begin valuing, honouring and respecting each other on this Earth.
I appreciate you constantly reiterating the vast chasm between the body and the Spirit.
We can overcome!
I felt moved to write about it with all the debates going on about pedophilia etc. While some people claim that possession of the material does no harm, they forget to contemplate the emotional, mental or spiritual harm. They are only looking at the physical, financial or economic harm. But harm goes much deeper than most are willing to contemplate. The legal system is not equipped to deal with this level of harm, mainly because it is nothing but an intellectual construct built to control, not govern morality and ethical behaviours. It will always catastrophically fail at that process. So it is up to us to set the standard for how we govern ourselves and treat each other in the process. I am no saint and I have a lot of work to do myself. So I share my journey because it helps me and others!
Yep.
None of us are Saints that's for sure, like you always say, we're in school here, learning how to be responsible spiritual beings. When you share your journey, and your past, you show us all that it's possible to change, to honour others and to have boundaries...yes, Spiritual Boundaries. That even thinking sexual thoughts about others whom we don't have consent to think about that way, is a violation.
Every sinner has a future. Every saint has a past. That quote came to mind.
Exactly! <3 Thank you for seeing that!
