“The All-Important Application of Spiritual Truth”

Spiritual truth can be the greatest liberator from an unfulfilled life. Jesus once said, “Know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” Spiritual truth is hidden deep down within the unconscious of every human being. It is the kingdom of heaven within. This enormous spiritual mystery and truth exists within every living soul. These truths can be uncovered in two ways. One is through daily meditation, which opens the inner spiritual eye. The other is through intellectually coming into contact with the assertions of higher consciousness that may be found in books or learned from others.

Experiencing spiritual truths firsthand, as glimpsed in the eye of the soul or through clairvoyance in your inner mind’s eye, is by far the experience with the greatest impact upon your psyche. The entire premise of spirituality and what it promises is an opportunity for a better life. However, without application, it will not be possible to improve one’s life. If there was something missing before the possession of spiritual truths, it will remain missing. While “knowledge is its own reward,” as a wise person once observed, it will fail to improve one’s life unless applied to daily living. To simply know spiritual truths is not enough to improve, enrich, and elevate the quality of one’s life. Thus, we see that first comes the knowledge and then, of equal importance, is its application to life’s pursuits. Without such application, spiritual truths have no practical value in life, either physically or spiritually.

“The Mystical Psychology of God’s Love for Every Human Being and Desire to Help Each and Every One”

Of all things that can be known in the human experience, indeed the greatest of all is the experience of love. No matter how seemingly magnificent and grand anything else in human life may appear to be, it is but a shallow substitute at best for the knowing and experiencing of love.

Love is true wealth, for if you have it in your life you will feel wealthy, even if you do not possess riches in a material or financial sense. If, on the other hand, you have abundant financial and material wealth, but are without love in your life, there is no way that what you have materially can make up for the emptiness or loneliness in your life.

As one passes through life, so many types of experiences are given priority positions in the human mind. Some of these areas are indeed important, in terms of human life experience, but none is as important as love.

“Universal Synthesis in Daily Living”

A definition and explanation of universal synthesis can be found in Christ’s words, “The Father and I are One.” In this statement, he proclaimed that the presence of the Universe, both physical and spiritual, was One with his psyche or soul, and he with it.

Yet, the message he most wished to convey to the world was found in his words, “All of you are equal unto me, and even greater things than I you shall do.” With these words, Christ elevated all who would listen at that time, and all who would come in the centuries that followed, to a divine possibility.

That divine possibility is that anyone could do as he did; raise themselves to the level of consciousness he had achieved, and perhaps even do greater things in the future.

Jesus lived his life as the Christ, and what made Jesus the Christ was that he lived in a state of universal synthesis with God every day of his life.

“The Kingdom of Heaven Mystically and Psychologically Understood”

Throughout the New Testament, there is more said by Jesus about the Kingdom of Heaven by far than about any other subject of which he spoke. This of course makes sense when one considers that he told the disciples to go forth into the world and teach the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven. The reason for all of this was that Jesus’ whole presentation of spiritual reality rested upon the concept and the reality of the Kingdom of Heaven.

About 2,000 years ago, during his lifetime on earth, Jesus told people, “The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” He also stated, “The Kingdom of Heaven is within you.” Above all else that Jesus communicated to people was the importance he placed on the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus put this emphasis on the Kingdom of Heaven because more than anything else, it was the greatest spiritual value that he could bring to people.

“Many Lives, Many Loves: Have You Loved Someone Before?”

Has the thought ever occurred to you, “Have I loved this person in another lifetime?” If you are one of the two thirds of the world’s population that believes in reincarnation and the living of many lifetimes, you may very well have asked this question.

Nothing in life is by coincidence, although on the surface some things may appear to be simply by chance. There is a law of cause and effect that is constantly at work throughout nature, inclusive of meetings and relationships of a personal nature between two people.

It does not matter how short or how long the relationship turns out to be, whether it is measured in mere minutes or an entire lifetime. People meet people and fall in love with them, or at least imagine themselves to be in love. From a deeper spiritual perspective, what is actually taking place is the living out of a karmic tie between two people.

“Release a Negative Past and Open to a Positive Present and Future”

Two thousand years ago, Jesus said, “The Kingdom of Heaven is here and now.” He did not say that this best of all worlds would arrive the next day, month, year, decade, century or eon of time into the future. He proclaimed that the promise of the best of life and living was right there and then; right now.  

Two thousand years later, in the hustle and bustle of modern, contemporary cities and lifestyles, people hurry about daily, as if engaged in a race in which the winners take the grand prize. The rush is toward what can be, rather than what already is, which seems to lack an element that kindles the fires of a person’s soul.

Because of this, countless individuals in today’s world are merely going through the motions of living out their lives rather than actually living. What could have been appears to be merely a vague image in the wind, filled with the darkness of despair. For some people, it seems that the mental flickerings of what were a few bright moments in their past are all that remain. Even these, for the most part, left them with unconvincing vibrations. Their physical bodies may be present, but their minds linger in the past of “bygone days.” What is and can be are colored gray by their minds yielding their priorities to what has been.
