THE UNQUENCHABLE LONGING

TO PURCHASE THIS DVD IN ITS ENTIRETY, PLEASE VISIT WWW.SPIRITUALSPRING.COM

THIS MEDITATION CENTRES ON THE REALIZATION THAT OUR HEARTS ARE RESTLESS. WE SEEM TO BE NEVER SATISFIED. WE FINALLY PURCHASE A MERCEDEZ ONLY TO HAVE IT REPLACED WITH A LONGING FOR A ROLLS ROYCE. NO MATTER OUR ACHIEVEMENTS AND OUR ACCUMULATION OF MATERIAL GOODS, WE REMAIN ILL AT EASE OR DIS-EASED. WE LONG FOR SOMETHING MORE. WHEN WE HAVE FULFILLED OUR DREAM OF ACQUIRING THE LATEST GADGET , WE OFTEN BECOME DISSAPOINTED AND SOON FORGET THE URGENCY OF OUR BELATED ALL CONSUMING PASSION. WE ASK "IS THIS ALL THERE IS?" THERE SEEMS TO BE AN INBRED DESIRE FOR DIVINITY STAMPED UPON OUR SOULS. WE SEEM TO BE STRONG WIRED FOR GOD. WE SEEM TO BE DOOMED TO BE SPIRITUAL. THERE ALWAYS REMAINS AN IMPLACABLE DISQUIET WITH FINITENESS. AS KARL RAHNER SAID; THERE REMAINS AN INSUFFICIENCY IN ALL THAT IS OBTAINABLE. THIS VERY DISTRACTION IS IN ITSELF A PROOF FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD. WHY WOULD NATURE STAMP SUCH A LONGING ON OUR PSYCHE IF IT WERE ONLY TO END IN BANKRUPTCY? ONCE AGAIN IN THIS MEDITATION WE ARE REMINDED THAT NATURE IS REVELATORY. IT IS OUR FIRST SCRIPTURE. THE RIVER IS MOST ENCOMPASSING AT ITS ESTUARY, NOT AT ITS SOURCE. ALL LIFE IS ON THE ROAD TO SOMEWHERE. THE UNQUENCHABLE LONGING ASKS THAT WE SET OUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT AND PAY HEED TO THE RIVER-RUN OF OUR LIVES.
