How To Handle Any Situation…

Leave a comment

I knew that there are no accidents in this life. That everything happens for a reason. Yet we always get to choose how we will experience what happens to us here.  – Jeff C. Olsen

life

Life happens, some ‘good’ and some ‘bad’. When a child can’t find their toy we as adults can see that it’s not a huge problem, but the child can’t see that. We also hope that the child can grow from such an experience and that’s where the incident might be valuable.

choice

With some experience the child learns that losing a toy is not a life-ending situation. Often the toy can be found or a new one might appear instead. The child learns that there might not have been a real need to overreact Smile! The choice on how we react and process any incident is always up to us.

What’s Life All About?

Leave a comment

I realized that no one ever really dies. We always live on. I had experienced a God as real and tangible as we are. He knows our every heartache, yet allows us to experience and endure them for our growth. His is the highest form of love; He allows us to become what we will. He watches as we create who we are. He allows us to experience life in a way that makes us more like Him, divine creators of our own destiny.  – Jeff C. Olsen

Bio

In 1997, Jeff experienced a horrific automobile accident which inflicted multiple life threatening injuries, including crushing both his legs. His left leg was amputated above the knee. The most devastating outcome of the accident was the loss of his wife and youngest son, both killed instantly. At that time, Jeff had profound experiences, which deepened his spirituality and gave him insights and gifts not common in today’s world. He found the courage to carry on, heal, care for his living son and eventually thrive in his career and community contributions.

Few people suffer as much as Jeff did. I just finished reading his book and it’s a must read in my opinion here’s why:

  • Think life is tough? Some others have had it much ‘worse’.
  • Don’t know how to find joy in daily life? Then read a story like Jeff’s.
  • Don’t know where life is taking us? Get some clues by reading near-death accounts on this site http://www.nderf.org/ and this one http://ndestories.org/.

What’s Forgiveness?

Leave a comment

Forgiveness means giving up all hope for a better past.  – Lily Tomlin

the past

We’re all married to the past in some fashion or another. Because of this tie to the past we consciously or otherwise are unable to forgive others or self. This is the root of most unhappiness.

let go

Love this quote because it encapsulates the main learning when it comes to the topic of forgiveness. The past is irreversible. At some point we have to consciously recognize each fixation we have about past incidents and let go. We can then be at peace!

Why We Must Ask…

Leave a comment

And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.  – Luke 11:9-10

living universe

We live in a dynamic, living and orderly universe that’s driven by love. God is present and will engage more fully with us when we ask.

ask

Ask we must. We are growing and learning in this nursery world of souls. The Universe will respond to each request and the answers and gifts provided will be what works best of us and the rest of the world. There are no mistakes made and it all ends well, without fail. Have no fear.

Why We Rock!

You are loved and cherished, dearly, forever. You have nothing to fear.  – Eben Alexander

dr. eben alexander

Dr. Eben Alexander had an almost deadly case of sudden bacterial meningitis and fell into a coma. He was in the coma for a whole week. During this time his neocortex was totally in-operational. Without this essential part of the brain in working condition there’s no scientific explanation for his vivid and life transforming near-death experience (NDE). Not only was he able to describe in detail his whole experience he recovered completely from the debilitating disease. The doctors had given him almost zero chance of survival and were certain that he would be a vegetable for life if he did survive.

bottom-line

During his near-death experience (NDE) he experienced one-ness with God and was convinced that we are children of a God who infuses all creation. Dr. Alexander was adopted as a child and meets an angelic person during his NDE who he later recognizes as his birth sister who he had never met in real life! This account is an almost perfect case that non-believing scientists may study if they have an open enough mind. Btw Dr. Alexander was himself a non-believer until this incident.

Where’s The Answer?

Leave a comment

The next message you need is right where you are.  – Ram Dass

where?

It’s a deep desire within all humans to know the future and to remove uncertainty from our lives. We always want to know: Where and what next?

here

What we seek is never out there. The answer is always within, right where we are. And that’s because we carry with us, wherever we go, a fragment of God, the very creator, the true reality, within us. We’re blessed and ‘All is Well’, always and forever…
