The Ten Steps

Step 03 - Eagerness

Following on from the assessment of our actions, we should then be eager to only do those things that we have deemed to be positive. Similarly we should be eager not to do those things we consider to be negative.

Because of humanity's dual nature - both a spiritual soul and an earthly body - and because we are currently dependent upon the physical universe for our existence, we tend to be drawn down towards the material, finding it hard to fully recognise and actively work toward the spiritual.

But it is this eagerness for the spiritual that we have to encourage within ourselves. The stronger this eagerness becomes the more easily we will be able to choose the positive at the expense of the negative.
