You Are Guided!

The seraphim guard you; they do not seek directly to influence you; you must chart your own course, but these angels then act to make the best possible use of the course you have chosen.The Urantia Papers

angelic protection

Angels exist! According to the Urantia Papers (and many other religious texts) pairs of angels, sometimes groups of angels hover around us, constantly. Their chief aim is to bolster our spiritual growth and depending on spiritual factors they will sometimes affect our physical safety as well. Do you believe in angels?

we choose

If we acknowledge their presence and actively engage with them through our thoughts and actions then their influence on our lives is more apparent. A large part of the spiritual economy centers on mortals like us. Universal Intelligence desires that we make wholesome spiritual choices, ones that’ll be for everyone’s highest good.  We define our future based on how we choose and the kind of questions we ask. What will you choose today?

Daily Affirmation: Today I seek guidance from my angelic partners.

What’s The Greatest Wealth?

Contentment is the greatest wealth.The Urantia Papers

wealth

  • How do we define success for ourselves?

  • What is true wealth?

  • How much is enough?

  • What do we truly ‘need’?

  • What do we ultimately seek?

contentment

The very source of it all, the fountain of truth, the satisfaction of all our true desires, our eternal guide and our ultimate goal resides quietly within our hearts. It yearns to make contact, but often cannot because of the electro-chemical nature of our minds. It also does not because we don’t seek it. It never forces, but gently prods if we only listen. Stillness helps in making contact.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM satisfied and thankful.

In Partnership With God

4.24 Who in all his work sees God, he in truth goes unto God: God is his worship, God is his offering…

4.39 He who has faith has wisdom…and he who finds wisdom, soon finds the peace supreme..The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 4)

it’s all god

The stuff that the universe is made of, comes from God. We come from God. When we keep that in mind, we can have God as our constant companion. It’s making this approach a habit that makes it very powerful.

faith leads to peace

When we consciously accept that God moves with us, we are guided, we are safe, we can now leave all outcomes to providence and we can slowly learn to let go… This faith helps us gain a certain peace, and that’s a goal we all seek.

Daily Affirmation: Today I see God in everything.

How To Live Without Anxiety

4.19 He whose undertakings are free from anxious desire and fanciful thought, whose work is made pure in the fire of wisdom: he is called wise by those who see.

4.20 In whatever work he does such a man in truth has peace: he expects nothing, he relies on nothing, and ever has fullness of joy. The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 4)

anxiety filled days

How much anxiety and stress do we tolerate daily? How much of the two are we even aware of? Once we’re aware of why we get depressed and sense the anxiety that engulfs our selves, we’re on our way… Our ‘fanciful’ thoughts about situations, about us and about others are the reason why we keep falling into the emotional thought maelstrom.

expectation is key

What do we expect from others? What do we expect from our day? What about our own selves? We make up ideas about what our life and our day should be like. Often these images get shattered because life doesn’t cooperate with our projected plans. The way to peace is to live in the moment, without any expectations of the future…

Daily Affirmation: Today I just AM, I expect nothing.

What’s ‘The Physics Of The Quest’?

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!

What Is Meditation?

Meditation is not a way of making your mind quiet. It’s a way of entering into the quiet that’s already there—buried under the 50,000 thoughts the average person thinks every day.Deepak Chopra

essentials

There are numerous definitions of meditation. One popular idea is that thoughts must cease for us to enter a meditative state. Certainly that could be classified as meditation; however for me meditation consists of 2 essentials:

  1. Discovering and resting in the peace that resides within us
  2. Making direct contact with God

stillness & inspiration

This peace that is nestled just under our stream of thoughts is very approachable. The trick is to be in a state of non-judgmental relaxed awareness. That means we just sit and be. We become relaxed in body and mind. We stay alert, i.e. not fall asleep and maintain awareness of all that goes on inside us, without manufacturing new thoughts about any of it.

Once we experience this peace it’s a great opportunity to:

  • Pray and make direct contact with God
  • Seek inspiration, which appears in the form of sudden thoughts an d ideas
  • Do creative thinking and planning

Here are some more tips from my site.
