SPIRITUAL SURVIVAL
HOW TO FLY WITH GOD AS
YOUR
CO-PILOT
Alaskan bush pilots
often get lost while flying over the Alaskan territories. When this happens they have
a set of rules called the 4 C's to depend on to bring them out of
the lost condition.
These rules can be
applied to both the challenges a transsexual faces in their choice
to live as the opposite sex, and their families and friends as they
cope with their transsexual's decision and lifestyle.
1. CONFESS - they are
lost. As long as they
refuse to confess that they are lost they continue to fly around in
circles. This happens to us in our spiritual life, often we feel we
are lost and out of touch, we react by attempting to read and study,
then through mind and thought control to work our way out of the
lost condition. We
never really seem to get going in a working direction. The first step that must be
taken is to confess to being lost, directly to God. Until this confession takes
place there is no opening for possibility and subsequently no new
information or direction available.
2. CLIMB - The pilot needs to
get higher in the sky.
Spiritually you can reach a high through gratitude. "An attitude of gratitude
creates altitude."
Express gratitude for where you are right now, loving your
life conditions as they are.
3. COMMUNICATE - Lost pilots
line up on radio frequencies that guide them out of
their lost condition and communicate with traffic control. Spiritually - Stay in
constant communication with God. Acknowledging God as your source of
all life, abundance, love, and good. Use prayer, meditation, and
visualization, to keep your thoughts constantly tuned to God as the
source of all life and all substance.
4. COMPLY- Pilots receive
navigation instruction from nearby air fields. If they follow instructions
they arrive home safely.
The air traffic controller is there to serve. Moment by moment you receive
instruction from your Christ self, the God within, and you most
likely choose to ignore it in order to analyze or understand through
ego just what to do.
Following this course insures a continued lost condition and
only when you surrender to following the guidance of the Christ self
will you find your way out of the lost condition and into the
fullness
of life.
5. A fifth C can be classified
as: DO IT OR CRASH
