The Meaning Of Life?

Leave a comment

Challenging the meaning of life is the truest expression of the state of being human.  – Viktor Frankl

life

What does it mean to be alive? What’s our responsibility? Response-ability? How should we respond to Life and its challenges? What should we make of the good times and the not so ‘good’ times?

reasons

There are many spiritual reasons why we’re alive. We’re an expression of ‘All That Is’. We are born to grow an individuality, a unique self that exists nowhere else in the vast universe! Frankl here makes an amazing comment about what it means to be a human. We’re meant to challenge life! It makes sense because until we do that, we cannot be expressive in a personal way, we cannot be creative, we wouldn’t be life artists!! We must challenge life to truly understand life!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM a challenger of Life!

What Are We Feeling?

Leave a comment

Whatever feelings you have within you are attracting your tomorrow.  – The Secret

feelings

If one subscribes to ‘The Secret’ and the Law of Attraction then we should know that…

  • If we’re feeling sad, more sadness is likely to be attracted tomorrow
  • If we feel angry more anger producing situations are heading our way
  • If we feel healthy today, we’re likely to be healthy in the future
  • If we are in joy then joy is coming into our lives

essence

Our predominant feelings create our future.

This is the essence of the ‘Law Of Attraction’. It’s important to hold it foremost in our minds because we forget it so easily. Our aim shouldn’t be that next job, fancy car, new house or partner. We should aim to experience true joy in our hearts and our environment, now. The best life possible will follow naturally from that ‘feeling’!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM joy personified!

Leave a comment

Ask what is separating you from yourself. Answer that question, then see whether you have any other questions…  – Vernon Howard

searching for self?

We often hear that a certain person has gone ‘searching for self’… What does that mean? It can mean many different things and at various levels, here are some possibilities:

  • Searching for our vocation
  • Looking into the meaning of life
  • Questioning our place in the universe
  • Attempting to find our life purpose…

questions!

Questions are the key to discovery! “What is separating you from yourself”? What an amazing question! Helps us inquire into what is ‘self’, what’s most important to us and what’s keeping us from connecting with that ‘self’. Happy sleuthing!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM in enquiring mode!

How To Listen To God

Leave a comment

Jesus taught his followers that, when they had made their prayers to the Father, they should remain for a time in silent receptivity to afford the indwelling spirit the better opportunity to speak to the listening soul. – The Urantia Papers

an imperative

No matter how life is going for us there’s an essential need to connect with ‘All That Is’. God provides the strength we need to live through tough times as well the perspective we need when things are going really well. Let’s not forget what’s most important. Let’s attempt to connect daily…

prayer –> stillness = connection

God speaks to us, he does so constantly. Prayer allows us to make that connection. Immediately after our mental effort to speak to the Father Of All in prayer, we should relax and just sit in still receptivity. This is the most powerful way to connect with divinity and ultimate reality. God sustains us all…
