The Need For Assertiveness

By Michael Muehleisen

Living the life of a mature soul, is always a life of being in balance. One of the major crossroads of soul is the choice to walk the path of power, or to walk one of love.

All Saviors, and saints, that have come here to uplift Mankind, have taught to walk the path of love. This path must be followed carefully, balancing pride, and humility. Each person must have an inner pride, knowing that he/she is soul, and one day to inherit the throne of God. Each person must have humility, knowing that everyone else, is also soul, and will also one day inherit that throne. This throne is called God consciousness. Spiritually speaking, no one is better than anyone else, and no one is worse than anyone else. Everyone is divine, and living in the state of consciousness, they have chosen, and earned at this point. God realization is not a race. God loves all souls the same, whether it takes forty lifetimes, or forty thousand lifetimes to earn God consciousness.

Those souls that have chosen the path of love are in a bit of a predicament here on earth, because the vast majority of souls are still infatuated with power. These power infatuated souls, have no problem trying to take advantage of, or stepping on the love saturated souls, or anyone else they perceive as being weak. The love souls must learn to defend themselves, through being assertive. This is basically, standing up for yourself, and not allowing yourself to be walked on. Assertiveness, when used in defensive situations, is necessary for souls on the path of love. Assertiveness, when used in an offensive manner, to gain something, is aggression, and power based.

As mentioned before, the life of the mature soul, is a life of balance. Sometimes it is like waking on the edge of a razor blade. It is not whether or not you fall off that is important, but rather, that you walk it as best you can.

"the vast majority of souls are still infatuated with power"

What a sad and cynical statement.

It is the natural process of all animal kind to fit within the constraints of the community that breeds it. Mankind has had these natural constraints carelessly diminished by those evil few who would control them by any means at their disposal - religion being the most fecund.

True spirituality has no need for labels, categorisation or conformity. It distresses me to read what so many people claim to know about beings of spirit when the beings themselves - US and the natural world about us - are in a constant state of flux and development.

The most telling infatuation that is manifest in mankind is simple vanity. Mankind has spwawned a whole new quasi religion that espouses false gods and attempts to supplant God with Earth-bound theories of the nature of our souls. Just about every one of us (and, yes, I do include myself) tends to feel that they know better - it's just that most of us are realistic enough to accept that we don't really.

It is for God to know our souls and for His guidance to show us the way. Assuming the mantle of a god and instructing others on how to live their lives is, surely, the biggest "power" manifestation of all.

HI Frederick, thank you for your kind words, and for reading my articles.

Every time I find myself walking on the edge of a razor blade I always get smothered with shaving cream. I am having a lot of trouble Loving the taste of shaving cream.

Hi biblefree, I know what you mean, the last time I ate shaving cream was when I said a no no in front of my mother. It was horrible! I still swear, just not in front of her. Thanks for reading my articles.
