What is your way of living?

There is no easy way for me to answer your question, it is a rather complicated one, a rather strange one, what is my way of living? Perhaps, it is not easy for me to answer, because I have been travelling down a road in life that is rather unknown, unusual, less travelled, revelatory.

Most humans accept their reality on earth, its all they have ever known, they conform to the human standard, the human protocol of civilized society, seeking after the status quo. I have never been interested in these things.

No, I do not live with a wild pack of wolves somewhere out in the wilderness, although living with wild wolves would seem a better option than modern city life, I live amongst other human beings, and yet, I am not one of them. Not in a dissociative way, but rather, I am just not like them. Their interests in the latest big game in sports, the latest film, going on roller coasters, pop music concerts, talking about the latest netflix series, is beyond mind numbing to me. I am not saying those things are bad I am only saying that those things do not interest me personally.

My way of living involves discovering and observing our universe, fundamentally understanding it, and pondering its mysteries. Walking through the forest and blazing my own trails to discover unseen, untouched, picturesque landscapes. Exploring the creeks and streams to see what gems may be hiding in the nooks and crannies. Listening to the birds chirp, and sing their songs, from somewhere up in the forest canopy. Nature is what my body was designed to be in, not the concrete jungle, of the man-made construct. My way of living involves escaping the prison that modern civilization has become. I choose another way of living.

My way of living comes from a Holy God, Jesus, because His way of living brings true freedom. His way of living, became my way of living, after my own way of living brought only heartache. Jesus showed me the true way to live, through His Holy Word, in the Bible. His true way of living does not result in obtaining the status quo of this world, but instead, His way of living results in obtaining immortal life.

My way of living is through every word in the Holy Bible. My way of living is sustained, not by my own efforts, but by the amazing mercy and grace of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

The carnal ways of living, of this world, are fading away. The mortal flesh will not live forever, although many act like it will, and as the years quickly pass by all will come face to face with that reality. For many spend their lives fornicating, lusting, coveting, overindulging, overspending, living in discontent, wanting luxury over necessity, short sighted, narrow minded and ignorant of the human reality, oblivious to the sinful conundrum that all human flesh is guilty of. The ways of living, of the sinful flesh, brings only death and destruction. I no longer live according to the ways of the flesh but of the ways of the Spirit, the Holy Spirit.

Once Jesus becomes one with you, after we ask Him into our hearts and turn from our evil ways of living, He will send His Holy Spirit to reside in you, to be with you forever, the Great Comforter. When we become alive in the Spirit of God our eyes become opened to a new way of living, the originally intended way of living. This new way of living involves living according to the Holy Spirit which is love, and no longer living according to the carnal, primitive, basal, fleshly, earthly, futile ways of living.

When we commit, to this new way of living according to the Holy Spirit in the Bible, our perception of reality changes. Our understanding of the material universe, and ourselves, becomes fundamentally altered for the better. When the awareness of a spiritual world becomes known, to the individual, this opens up a new understanding, an enlightening of a higher consciousness through the Holy Spirit. The spiritual realm, is more real than our own, and it lies in eternity. Eternity lies behind this veil of atoms, we call the universe, and is more real than our own current holographic reality. When we understand the fact that we live in a material universe, intertwined within a spiritual universe, we have deepened our understanding of the mysteries that bring us closer to the Kingdom of God. It is only God who reveals these things to us, and He will reveal even more amazing things to us, when we seek Him earnestly.

“Seek FIRST, the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all other things will be added to you” Matthew 6:33

This is my way of living, my new way of living, through the Living God, Jesus Christ.

Amen.
