God’s thoughts for us…

Leave a comment

I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts; the rest are details. – Albert Einstein

What does God think of us?

What does he think for us? If God created all reality; he is the very source of all that is. It would be rather cool if we knew his thoughts; her purpose for all that’s going on!

Our purpose:

I believe that at least at the individual level it’s quite possible for us to know of God’s plans. I also believe that it’s part of our purpose, maybe even the purpose for us to find our place in God’s universe, our relationship with the Godhead.

Your thoughts? How do we go about this quest?

Thinking straight…

Leave a comment

One cannot think crooked and walk straight. – Anonymous

How do we set our inside right? That has to be the first order of business, in the business of life.

I believe it must happen on 3 levels. I call it the MBS System, the Mind, Body and Soul System.

Soul: We ought to discover our Life Purpose. The path to which is led by self-knowledge. This can be a great basis for our whole being.

Mind: Our thoughts must be congruent with our highest desires i.e. our Life Purpose. We can’t expect to think thoughts that don’t support our mental, spiritual or physical well-being and expect to be happy campers.

Body: To live a Soul purpose and be of a sound mind, our body must be in good shape.

So you see our whole being must move in tandem for us to be fulfilled. All this can be quite over-whelming because hardly anyone is living in this wholesome fashion. The secret is to take small tri-pronged steps, daily and watch your life unfold!

Go within…

Leave a comment

If you aren’t used to going within, you will need to be patient with yourself… – Barbara De Angelis

Patience will be necessary because you will lack self-knowledge. In other words you won’t understand too well why you act the way you do in various situations. Your buttons will be easy to push, you will be in less control of your fulfillment and happiness. You will be more a re-actor rather than an actor on the stage of life.

When you go within, you enquire about the nature of your mind and your actions, which leads to clarity around your life goals. Going within can also yield you the peace and quiet that you seek. That citadel of comfort can only be found within.

Don’t neglect it.

A child of God…

Difficulties may challenge mediocrity and defeat the fearful, but they only stimulate the true children of the Most Highs. – The Urantia Papers, (48:7.7)

You are a child of God, a product of the Universal Mind. God would not have created us without a grand purpose.

If we remind ourselves of this essential truth often, we will be unafraid to face life, its challenges and be motivated to take anything on! This is the secret that will pull us out of the doldrums and activate us for the destiny that we are designed to undertake.

Be silly…

Leave a comment

If people never did silly things nothing intelligent would ever get done. – Ludwig Wittgenstein

Being silly is all about being playful. Play leads to creativity. Creativity occurs more readily in the fertile soil that silliness and play create!

It appears that God him/herself created it all in an amazing never ending playful burst. Which is reason enough for us to do the same thing. Reason enough to never worry about life, but instead to spend the eternal Now moment in love, play and endless fun!

How silly are you?

Our human journey…

Leave a comment

We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey. – Stephen Covey

Our quest, then, ought to be, to discover this spiritual life that we all have but often neglect. There’s a force inside us, a living, that desires to be uncovered and latched on to. Once we discover it and ride on its coattails, we can be like the carefree birds, that live daily and then die, but never ever worry about life.

We go on, forever that is. Let’s discover what this grand drama is all about, find our part, play it, to our best ability, live life as its meant to be lived!

Access to the divine…

Leave a comment

Human things must be known in order to be loved, but divine things must be loved in order to be known. – The Urantia Papers, (102:1.1)

This quote holds a great secret for those who think that God is personal and can be known.

Don’t wait for God to reveal herself.

Through faith, know that God exists, is in very close proximity (in your heart), and through that same faith start building a relationship with this very God.

Therein lies the key to knowing and connecting with God. Try it; you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
