The sixth virtue of Maat is
evidence of a Call to Spiritual Order.
Spiritual Order is when you become fully aware that you cannot live for yourself
and family alone: you have a call to destiny that goes beyond your own private
sphere of living. You have the obligation
and responsibility to live a virtuous
life that impacts, influences, and encourages others to do good, live well and
to be a blessing to others.
The old adage, “To
whom much is given, much is required,” is in play here. Every truly expanded person
must be a leader, whether she or he understands that or not. A leader is
someone who is followed. People who wish to become personally expanded follow
the lead of those they believe to be personally expanded. Because people will
be watching you as you develop into a greatly expanded individual, you must be
a good example for them to follow.
You cannot afford to
be selfish, stingy, or rude if you intend to obtain true personal expansion.
You must show love, compassion, empathy, and personal discipline. You cannot
live the kind of life that you have seen some rich people live. Your life must
have meaning, purpose and Spiritual Order.
True wealth and long-term profitability can never reside in a person who lives
a dissolute life—a life wasted in self-indulgence and self-absorption.
Be the expanded person
who leads others to be good, do good, and have good follow them! Be the person
who evidences a Call to Spiritual Order!
