Why God is God…

Leave a comment

7.6 All things have their life in this Life, and I am their beginning and end.

7.7 In this whole vast universe there is nothing higher than I. All the worlds have their rest in me, as many pearls upon a string.

7.8 I am the taste of living waters and the light of the sun and the moon. I am OM, the sacred word of the Vedas, sound in silence, heroism in men. – The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 7)

origin

We live in time and space. Time appears to move in one direction, forward and space appears to be expanding at all times. That’s highly suggestive of all things having originated at a time far distant in the past. Origins beg a cause. That ‘first cause’ can be termed God. According to The Gita, all Western Religions and many other belief systems, God is the ultimate person. He knows and he sees, just like we can. He created it, and us all, for a grand purpose…we can relate with her directly and one-on-one!

the highest

The highest ideals and the highest qualities are reflective of the creator. All creation marches towards perfection by accentuating and experiencing these ideals and qualities. That then is also a purpose of it all. God is alive and well, rejoice, fear not and ‘be exceedingly glad’.

Why There’s Nothing to Fear…

Leave a comment

The presence of fear is a sure sign that you are trusting in your own strength. – A Course In Miracles

why we fear

Beyond biological fear that’s handed down generationally, there’s the everyday fear that we often live with. Where does it come from? There are many shallow and peripheral reasons why we feel fear. These can be fear of losing health, wealth, family and the like. If examined at deeper levels the reason is exactly what the amazing quote above highlights. We fear life and its circumstances because we fall for the illusion that it’s all up to us!!

freedom from fear

All we see and all we experience is within the über paradigm we may call God. We literally move and have our being in God. Nothing goes unnoticed in the universe. If we believe that we’re fully responsible for us, we’ll always be disappointed because we cannot ensure our ultimate well-being. We’re simply not capable enough. We can instead rely on God as an essential anchor through-out our day and our lives. Doing so is the pre-requisite to a happy, peaceful, fulfilling and fearless life! Try it.

How To Fly…

Leave a comment

When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it. – Henry Ford

head winds

The world is being buffeted with hard situations. Let’s remember that there’s always light at the end of the tunnel and that there’s a silver lining to just about every situation. Let’s learn from the Japanese people on how to stay stoic and civilized even when the worst happens!

flight

All will be well. We must have faith and believe that; then continue to move in a forwardly direction. That’s the way out, that’s what’s required, let’s keep at it, because we’ll have no choice then, but to fly!

Daily Affirmation: Today I rise with the wind!

Why We Can’t Be Broken

Leave a comment

The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places. – Ernest Hemingway

broken?

After the devastating Tsunami in Nippon we’re all feeling a sense of loss, fear and uncertainty about the future. It’s so natural to feel that way. Let’s invite that feeling and not push it away. When we do that we come face to face with it and can experience it fully. Doing that is our ticket to feeling better. A primary goal of life is to banish fear and to embrace love in its stead.

prayer

The idea is to raise our own vibrations and not be affected by negative vibes from outside ourselves. A great way to raise our vibrations is to pray, to chant , to sing and to generally reach for and experience joy. As we do that, we heal and become capable of serving and healing others. Rejoice my friends because we’re all ultimately safe, believe this truth and celebrate!!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM safe and joyous!

How Will You Know What You Want?

Leave a comment

Most people are so busy knocking themselves out trying to do everything they think they should, they never get around to do what they want to do. – Kathleen Winsor

doing

We all are doing too much, daily. If we won’t stop and listen to our heart, to the divine calling, awaken to our real purpose in life, we will end up being resentful old people! We don’t want that do we?

eureka!

Where and when do you get your best ideas?

I get mine while in the shower, when shaving or meditating! Archimedes got his in the tub. Churchill on the pot! It’s when we’re truly ‘being’ that we receive a lot of inspiration. And that’s the key, to sprinkle ‘being’ moments through-out our day. That’s the way to stay connected to ‘source’. We will then know what to stop doing and what to do next instead of having no real clue. The following is advice I gave to a coaching client, I try and live the same advice:

Every hour, if you can, just stop for a few minutes. Sit. Breathe deeply. Know that the divine is with you, where you are, at that moment. Ask for help and get going again….

Daily Affirmation: Today I stop, breathe, connect, then go.

Living Our General Life Purpose…

Leave a comment

Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or the darkness of destructive selfishness. Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, What are you doing for others? – Martin Luther King Jr.

darkness

It’s rather dark when we’re all about ourselves and focused primarily on what’s important to us. The whole economy of the Universe appears to hinge on integration, on cooperation and on the growth of the whole as well as the individual. We cannot have real meaning in our lives and certainly no lasting fulfillment if our efforts and time are not primarily spent on others and larger goals.

light

The universal light shines a bit brighter on us when we decide to devote a larger part of our lives to others. Fulfillment really is that simple because when we do that a few things happen:

  1. The Universe (via Angels and other forces) guides our efforts.
  2. Life for others and us improves, gets better.
  3. We become happier.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM my brother’s keeper.
