Are you moving inward, upward and forward?

**From “Opening Doors Within” for January 26**

You cannot create the new by remaining immersed in the old. A new-born babe cannot remain attached to its mother. The umbilical cord has to be cut so that it becomes a separate being. So with this spiritual life.

Once you have set your foot on the spiritual path and have decided to live in the ways of the Spirit, you have to make a clean break with your old way of life. You cannot have a foot in both worlds. The choice is yours. Let there be no going back on that choice. Keep moving forward. It is when the going is rough that you may crave the so-called ‘good old days’ and want to go back.

There is no going back in this life. A babe cannot return to its mother’s womb when life becomes too hard for it. A chick cannot return to its shell, or a butterfly to its chrysalis. Life cannot go backwards. It has to go forward, always forward.
