Podcasts about spiritual ambition

Sunday AM sermon.

We're taught from when we are little to be ambitious in order to achieve what we want, but what if what we want is to strive for something that is already within us, enlightenment? In a teaching that expounds not looking to the future for happiness, where does something like ambition fit into such a philosophy? And is enlightenment envy a thing? In this episode, Kristen and Isabel get personal about their own experience with feeling ambition in the spiritual sphere and how they have found ways of not letting it get in the way of their paths. Show Notes: 1.30 Pitta dosha personality 5:00 Santosha 5.55 “Suffering is wanting a different experience than what you are having right now.” Kristen6.30 Enlightenment impatience7.00 Flower blooming process 7.41 “We want to have that destination in our mind while also realizing that there is a journey that's happening. And that we don't want to rush the journey. We want to have the full unfolding.” Kristen8.20 Enlightenment envy10.00 Vulnerability10.50 Nature is never always in bloom14.26 The trick is to feel sad without being sad14.46 “At your core you are always fine, but you are still allowing yourself to feel humanity. It's like being in the big ocean of self while simultaneously being in the wave of self. The wave of self, feeling sad and the ocean of self, the being, is always fine.” Kristen17.00 It's about the how19.50 Status – “True status is something you just experience.” Kristen24.20 Punya – Spiritual merit 27.15 Karma and Kriya33.40 “To what extent are you enjoying and experiencing whatever point in the storyline you are in right now. It's not the how it's the what.” Kristen37.00 The characters we play39.00 Big Self goals 43.54 “Spiritual ambition - Once you get there, it won't matter to you. The unfolding is happening with that. The river is moving, you don't have to push it. You just have to listen and do the practice and do those spontaneous actions and watch the whole thing.” Kristen

Is SPIRITUAL AMBITION Holding you BACK?

we all have the potential to achieve the goal of yoga, in this lifetime / what's the real measure of success? / fight the demons within - “Not Today Satan!” / make your life mission to uncover and experience your true spiritual nature / doing small things with great love is a perfect success / Jada Bharata was beyond the dualities of happiness and distressed caused by respect or disrespect - we can't imitate it, but we can draw principles from it / good & bad are mental speculations (this is not about ethics - it's about the relativity of material pleasure) / our minds are programed to see some things as attractive and others as repulsive - this programing can be changed SB 5.9.7-11

In his second epistle, Peter describes the condition of professing Christendom and the unbelieving world as existing at the end of the age. Two particular forms of evil are recorded: first, in chapter 2, the presence of false teachers propagating unsound doctrine, accompanied by wicked deeds, prominently characterizes the last days of Christendom; second, in chapter 3, the increase of scoffing infidels signifies another proof of the last days. With arrogant unbelief, the promise of Christ's coming is openly denied by men, supposedly on the basis that the present creation has eternal stability. Peter reminds such that a universal catastrophe once destroyed the earth and foretells another disaster of divine intervention that will not only destroy the present earth but the heavens also (2 Peter 3:5-10). The peril of the last days is indicated by the apostle in a twofold way: first, "many shall follow" the dissolute ways of the false teachers bringing in "damnable heresies" (2 Peter 2:1-3), and second, the danger of spiritual inertia exists among the saints of God in these same days, causing the apostle to frequently emphasize the need of diligence (2 Peter 1:5, 10, 12, 15; 3:14). https://plymouthbrethren.org/article/1348

William Carey, pioneer missionary to India, said: “Expect great things from God, attempt great things for God.” The key phrase in the second half of this saying is “for God.” Sometimes our spiritual ambitions are more focused on ourselves than on God. In the previous chapter (see Feb. 4), Paul warned that some who preached Christ were motivated by envy and rivalry (Phil. 1:15). In today’s passage, Paul describes a better way: we are to value others above ourselves (2:3). This does not mean that we should think poorly of ourselves. Instead, we are to show others the kind of loving concern that Jesus Christ demonstrated toward us. In verse 1, Paul lists four motivations for doing this: 1) encouragement that springs from our union with Christ, 2) the comfort of His love, 3) our mutual experience of the Spirit, and 4) affection and sympathy for one another that is an extension of Christ’s love for us. Paul’s emphasis on our shared experience of Christ indicates that his focus is on relationships in the church. The command to value others above ourselves certainly has implications for our treatment of those outside the church. But if we cannot show love to other believers, it is unlikely that we will do so for unbelievers. Paul calls this humility: the discipline of cultivating an interest in others (v. 4). The daily practice of humility begins with small things. Ask others to share about themselves. Invite them to go first. Let them have the last word. Pray for others as well as for yourself. >> “Do not imagine that if you meet a really humble man, he will be what most people call ‘humble’ nowadays: he will not be a sort of greasy, smarmy person, who is always telling you that, of course, he is nobody,” C. S. Lewis observed. “Probably all you will think about him is that he seemed a cheerful, intelligent chap who took a real interest in what you said to him.”

Maintaining spiritual ambition can be tough in troubled times. Yet it gives us focus and helps us maintain healthy self-dependency.

Now that we are armed with the gospel, we must not just sit on the gospel and not dream. Each of us must pursue his or her own spiritual ambition! What is yours?
