Spiritual Growth

© Excerpt Kabalarian Writings

A flower and its resultant seed pod is the completion of a cycle of expression which had its origin within the power contained in the seed from which the plant and flower grew.

In life, spiritual attainment is the result of the fulfilment of individual purpose. The nucleus of all life is the reason for being, which is the motivating power expressing through the form of life to bring about the complete unfoldment of the purpose for the expression of the reason for being.

The power in the seed is the central force throughout the entire lifespan of the plant, intelligently causing the unfoldment of natural growth. The beauty of the fulfilment was part of the nucleus; and every stage of growth, a preparation for the final culmination.

Within each person exists a nucleus, or reason for being which, if given full expression, will culminate as a highly developed awareness of mind, conceiving and understanding the power of Consciousness on its universal level. In studentship, we must recognize the understanding of the inner potential (birthpath) as the nucleus of our being, and grasp the ideals of universality that will direct the inner power of life along its path of growth towards its ultimate attainment, that of Universal Conscious expression.


Thought for the Day

  • Philosophy is created to bring out the refinement and culture; to teach us constructive thinking and basically, how to think and express those thoughts through logic and truth. –Alfred J. Parker

  • As one grows, the mind is empowered by a natural quality of freedom and warmth. It allows a concept to grow to become the expression of that universal potential. –Kabalarian Teachings

  • It is easy to desire to be good, to progress, to change, but it only happens when we apply and actually do the work necessary for the desired change. Wishful thinking never made anyone rich, beautiful, or happy. Only honest accomplishment does that. –Kabalarian Writings

  • There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried. –Ralph Waldo Emerson
