Episode 46 - Credit Card Dilemna - The Divine Credit Score, Assessing Our Spiritual Fitness
The Divine Credit Score: Assessing Our Spiritual FitnessThis thought-provoking journal entry uses the metaphor of credit cards and credit scores to evaluate our spiritual and physical "fitness" in the eyes of the Creator. The author poses the dichotomy of living life with either the limited means of a "Secured" credit card or the unlimited potential of a "Black" card - a choice that reflects how well we steward the talents and gifts bestowed upon us by the Divine.
The core idea is that just as financial institutions assess our creditworthiness, the ultimate scoring system is how the Creator "scores" the condition of our mind, body, and soul each day. This spiritual credit score has nothing to do with earthly wealth or privilege, but instead audits our authenticity as "temples" - whether we are dilapidated, condemned houses hiding behind deception or well-maintained, many-roomed mansions.
It's a call to be ruthlessly honest about the state of our "temples", from the physical fitness of our bodies to the gratitude and appreciation we outwardly express. The author acknowledges falling short on certain measures like weight but warns that just as credit can be reduced, so can the love, adoration and longevity we receive from the Creator and others if we fail to uphold our end of the unwritten spiritual contract to magnify the Divine through our beings.
Takeaway action item: Perform a holistic self-assessment across your mind, body and soul - identifying both strengths and areas requiring improvement to raise your "divine credit score." Commit to one tangible step to upgrade your current "spiritual fitness" in a way that more fully honors the Divine within you.
