A Grand Purpose!

Leave a comment

There is a great and glorious purpose in the march of the universes through space. All of your mortal struggling is not in vain. – The Urantia Papers

a purpose to it all

As we finalize and firm up our 2011 resolutions let’s assume that there’s a purpose to all that we do. Why assume? Because for one we can’t be 100% certain until our consciousness emerges on the other side of this mortal life. Also because it’s a great assumption to live by, purpose automatically gives meaning to our lives.  So what’s your life purpose?

finding and creating our purpose

In my opinion our life purpose is a product of two forces. One is that which is given us, it’s our spiritual DNA, it’s our very uniqueness. We can see, interpret, feel, value, do and deliver concepts and things like no one else in this stupendously large universe! The other force is one of our own creativity. We’re born with certain talents and abilities, what we do with these gifts is largely up to us. God (the Universe) wants us to be creative and original. In choosing our own paths we contribute immensely to the larger. Which is why our ‘mortal struggling’ is never ‘in vain’!

Daily Affirmation: Today I claim my talents and carve my purpose.

our life is up to us

Throw off the assumptions that chain your life. Be born again. Resolve to think afresh and anew. Don’t accept limitations that others place on you. You are a creative and unique being like no other in all time and space! Claim your uniqueness, stamp life with your signature, relish your personal impact!

Do We Have Free Will?

Leave a comment

God loves us and believes in us and has done and will do anything he can to help us, but he will not impose on our free agency.  – Marion D. Hanks Ensign

free will creatures

No one person can know God’s will for the Universe or for other individuals. It appears that God wanted us to be creatures with the power to choose. That means she will not force herself on us. Which in turn means that we must ask to receive guidance and anything else that supports God’s larger vision for everyone. Our ability to choose (and keep God at a distance) also helps explain the planet’s sad state.

ask to receive

If we go about thinking we have the answers, that we know what’ll satisfy and soothe us then that’s exactly what will play out. Such an approach doesn’t work. We stay as directionless and as dissatisfied as ever. Isn’t that right? So what to do?

Let’s involve God into our daily life. Ask for help, consult God often, even moment by moment, continue to have faith in all that’s happening and show patience for God’s plan as it unfurls in our lives.

Daily Affirmation: Today I walk with God.

Why The Universe Conspires With You

Leave a comment

Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

decide

We must make decisions if we’re to grow and move. No decision, especially in the longer run , is wrong. We’re often afraid to decide because it means upsetting the status quo. All of creation, our lives, everything around us is driven by change, if we don’t decide we might regret it more than a decision we could have made.

expect

Once we decide, based on our expectations (thoughts & beliefs) the Universe rolls into action! Do you know this to be true in your life? It certainly appears to be true for mine. The Universe is a thought based system that responds to the weakest stirring of a desire. Through desires we grow, achieve, learn, experience and effect lasting change that has an eternal import. Let’s jump in and expect to land on our feet!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM a decision engine.

The Secret To Lasting Change

Leave a comment

The heart of change: It is only when the totality of the human mind – mind being the nervous responses, the emotions, the everything that is you – completely responds, without any fragmentation in that response, that there is a new action taking place.  – Krishnamurti

sheer will power

Do we have the will to do it? How many times do we ask ourselves and others the same question? And how many times do we all fail, repeatedly? Why is it so hard to stick to something even when we want to?

our full attention instead

Deciding something at the mind level is not enough by itself. We must involve our emotional (mind) and spiritual faculties. This is the secret to lasting change. This explains why most of our New Year resolutions fail. For the mind to be involved there must be meaning attached to the goal. For our spiritual self to be incorporated the goal must align with long term purposes including higher desires such as self-actualization. Approaching any endeavor with our full attention and our complete being is the key all successful change!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM fully present.

How To Find Love

Leave a comment

Your task is not to seek love, but merely to seek & find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. – Rumi

we seek love

In whatever we seek, we’re really seeking love. We seek assurance, safety and happiness; these are all the consequences of experiencing the love which can only come from another personality. True love and assurance proceeds from the parent personality that is God, and her love is easier to discover than we might expect…

ask, forgive and expect

Just like our spiritual heritage in general, we block our own experience of love and goodness that’s ever available to us. The steps are as follows:

  • Ask. Talk to God and ask to experience this love.
  • Forgive: Unless we forgive everyone (including ourselves) and extinguish the resentment that sears our hearts, we will not be able to uncover this divine wellspring.
  • Expect: After asking and forgiving, be like a child and expect our parent’s love to be ever present.

Daily Affirmation: Today I walk in God’s love.

What’s ‘The Physics Of The Quest’?

2 Comments

See God in every person, place, and thing, and all will be well in your world. – Louise Hay

where the teacher is

Had an interesting experience this afternoon. I was witnessing the graduation of a 12 week Dale Carnegie offering at work, and had the pleasure of hearing from the dynamic facilitator of the class. She ended up sharing her own touching story about how she found the truth about the following quote from the movie ‘Eat, Pray, Love’….

In the end, I’ve come to believe in something I call "The Physics of the Quest." A force in nature governed by laws as real as the laws of gravity. The rule of Quest Physics goes something like this: If you’re brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting, which can be anything from your house to bitter, old resentments, and set out on a truth-seeking journey, either externally or internally, and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue and if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher and if you are prepared, most of all, to face and forgive some very difficult realities about yourself, then the truth will not be withheld from you.

where god is

We’re always looking for ‘the’ answer to our quests, our problems and our yearnings. Well the message and the messengers abound! If we only look the answer comes through unexpected ways and means. It’s right around the corner, or is the next person we meet or even the next connection we make in our minds! Let’s look, the answer might be right in front of our figurative noses!
