THE PURPOSE OF NEED

Though we be apart,
we are but a heartbeat away.
I have come to share a Truth
upon this blessed day.
Each and every soul is born with the need to know why they are here
and to what purpose they are to serve;
and until that answer is found, there is endless loneliness and a
continual need to seek out others…
…to simply know that they are not alone.
Yet, there are those who would say that this need is a form of antipathy
and that need, any need, must be avoided in order to transcend the current
awareness of the Present-Personality, thus becoming a Self-Realized Being.
But I say unto you…
Show me the one who is without need,
and I will show you the Christ;
for the Christ is the Unconditional Love of God made manifest
that man might know the depth and power of Love.
Only the Christ is needless, for Love is sufficient unto Love.
When the multitudes, in their need, came unto Jesus asking to be healed,
did the Beloved One refuse them only to say that need, any need,
is a form of antipathy;
or did he tend to their needs, telling them to give thanks to God?
And to what purpose did Love’s healing serve?
Man, at his level of ignorance, must have his needs fulfilled in order
for the evolving-self to grow in awareness.
To be healed by the Christ served to awaken the Present-Personality
to the unseen power that belongs to Love.
Need gives meaning to our spiritual journey.
It is only as we focus our attention on the many subtle forms of
self-gratification that our individual needs become obsessive
desire-thoughts and these are the needs to be avoided.
The quest of Perfection, itself, becomes a need…
…but this need must be allowed to slowly unfold as the petals
of the rose and we dare not to rush this bud to flower,
or we run the risk of allowing this need to become an all-encompassing
obsession, born of our own illusion.
Need is the pathway to Mankind’s spiritual evolution.
All needs will eventually lead to this one need…
…the need of the Prodigal Son to come Home to his Father;
but it is best achieved through a natural unfoldment.
When one unfolds in awareness naturally, without striving for it as a
goal to attain, there is no thought given to need being an aspect of antipathy.
And at the end of our need,
we shall see
and we shall hear
and we shall know…
…yet, we shall not look back,
cursing the need of our own blindness, deafness or ignorance,
for it was our very need that led us Home.
