What is a spiritual principle? It is a constant. A principle that holds life together. It is always appropriate to be compassionate, wise, loving etc….what we are learning as human beings is the integration of spiritual principles into everyday living.
Recognizing what is constant and what is situational is a key to integration. For example, it is always a good idea to be wise, but it is not always a good idea to talk. Wisdom is a constant, talking or not talking is situational. Our first error is taking something that is situational and trying to make it into a constant, creating imbalance.
