Walk in the land of the living

I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.

~ Psalms 116:9

Are you dwelling in the “land of the living?”

The “land of the living” is a metaphor for being conscious of God’s infinite goodness here and now and experiencing it fully and abundantly.  It’s the Life of God, which is ever fresh, vital, filled with hope and joy, and abounding with new inspiration that leads one down a progressive path.  Every day is a new day.

Dwelling on the past, clinging to lingering resentments and unresolved regrets, fear of the future, absorption in disease, and other states of mortal mind that may feel void of life and hope, are the opposite of dwelling in the “land of the living.”  They argue for death and despair.

Be wise!!  Don’t go where mortal mind wants you to go.  Stay up in divine Mind.  Live the Life God has given you to live, which is a Life of goodness, health, joy, and freedom.

Be a permanent resident in the “land of the living!”

  5. Dear Evan, thank you for this wonderful message about being in the “Land of the Living”! Yes we need to stay up in Divine Mind!

    And from Galatians 5:16: “Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.”

  6. Evan, I truly appreciate that you can communicate your deep understanding of our spiritual existence in such a practical way for me to think about and apply to my daily life. As someone who is completely skeptical of the majority of religious beliefs, your clear and helpful messages still resonate with me.

  7. The “Land of the Living” is simply our spiritual consciousness and/or spiritual awakening/insights. Aren’t they the “angle messages” we receive constantly?
