SIN'S EXIT (7)

HOW THE EXIT WORKS Our cravings are the reason we find ourselves moving down the freeway of self-destructive compulsions in the first place. Cravings are a necessary feature of Human personality. Humans are essentially spiritual beings with a soul within a body. The soul responds to the data received from the body. These physiological responses are both intellectual and emotional in nature. Coordinating the intellect, the emotions, and body as a unit is the function of the spirit. The energy exerted to carry out this function is a force called human will. Originally the will power of man’s spirit governed his soul and body. But he traded that power for the knowledge of good and evil. That knowledge reviled his personality’s lack of good and the share of evil contained within. Our personality craves perfection and remains unsatisfied until we see God within. When we turn our gaze fully on God, the exit within, we find destructive cravings replaced by the productive desires God has for his children. To focus on the exit requires the cooperation of spirit, soul, and body. If one or more of the aspects of personality prefers the freeway rather than the exitthe will of the human spirit is not strong enough alone to compel the entire personality to turn and focus on the exit. That is the reason man must ask God to grant him “The Knowledge of God” (God-consciousness) or be forever find his efforts to exit self-destructive compulsions frustrated.
