Audio version read by Rev. Steven Lane Taylor, B.Msc. – The Power of Commitment to God

Your life can be better if you have a commitment to God. Those who have truly worked their way up to a more fulfilling and satisfactory life have had a commitment of some sort, whether to oneself or to another. Commitment helps to keep one focused until one has achieved the desired goal.

When people are committed to something, they maximize their effort of time and energy. Maximizing one’s effort increases the likelihood that results will be achieved. Many individuals who have been committed to achieving goals have done so without a conscious thought about God. Yet, unconsciously, through commitment, they have drawn upon God’s Presence and Resources to achieve what they have desired.

Audio version read by Rev. Steven Lane Taylor, B.Msc. – How a Mystic Succeeds

A true mystic lives in two different worlds simultaneously—the outer physical world, and an inner spiritual world occupied by the Presence of God. A mystic is a person who spends his or her life in pursuit of God’s Presence and Absolute Truth, which is one and the same as God’s Presence. Down through the ages, the primary method used to find God’s Presence has been meditation.

Once a mystic has either come close to, or actually experienced God’s Presence, there arises a different approach to success, and often a redefining of what success is. Success can encompass much more in its definition than merely physical or worldly success. A true mystic sees success as also including spiritual awakening, awareness, and enlightenment in one’s life.

Audio version read by Rev. Steven Lane Taylor, B.Msc. – Starting Anew: The Metaphysical Dynamics of Beginning a New Year

The beginning of each New Year symbolizes the possibility of a new beginning or an improvement over what was. It can be a dream or a hope of what can be. To one who is intimately involved with one’s soul in a physical sense, it can be the anticipation that Divine Presence will somehow touch one’s life with increased blessings of some kind in the New Year.

To most people, a New Year does indeed present an opportunity for positive expectation, that somehow, in some way, the possibility exists that things will be better. In order for such dreams and wishes to become realities, the mind must adopt an attitude and state of consciousness that is expectant of improvement, both inwardly and outwardly, and willing to take the action necessary to give energy to one’s thoughts in the day-to-day world of one’s environment.

Audio version read by Rev. Steven Lane Taylor, B.Msc. – Discovering Your Life’s Purpose

Knowing your soul’s purpose is the most important key to living a happy life. Without knowing your soul’s life purpose there is no meaning to one’s life. Without meaning in your life, there can be no lasting happiness. It is knowing, and then living your soul’s life purpose that gives your life meaning, and through meaning, happiness.

A person who does not know what their soul’s life purpose is may drift aimlessly through life—drifting from one job to another or from one lifestyle to another. Quite likely, most of the vices and escapisms that people pursue arise from an inability to know what their soul’s life purpose is. Lacking such knowledge, a person may seek to escape a great void of emptiness within themselves by becoming addicted to alcohol, drugs, gambling, or neurotic relationships. Life without meaning and purpose is life without a sense of hope, inspiration, or happiness.

Audio version read by Rev. Steven Lane Taylor, B.Msc. – Your Extrasensory Meditation Power

A daily practice of meditation can give one an extrasensory edge in life. Without meditation, the human mind is left with only the intellect to guide its way. Whatever one has experienced or learned comprises the intellect, which must then make decisions in life, from minor to major. The sum total of such decisions reflects the entirety of one’s life.

Down through the ages, the truly wise, who have explored the heights and depths of the human mind, have agreed that there is far more to the human mind than the intellect alone. Those who are creative can particularly attest to this, as so much of the creativity they have expressed has come from a source beyond the capacity of their intellect. Similarly, many entrepreneurs, whose ideas are far beyond their capabilities, agree that their commercially applied creativity came from a part of their mind that was outside their intellect.

The deepest of all relationships that one can have with another person is spiritual. The coming together and bonding of two souls far exceeds the merger of minds and bodies. What is exchanged on a spiritual level can form a bond that can be eternal.

In fact, it may be that some people you have met in this lifetime, with whom you have felt a deep spiritual rapport, are souls with whom you spiritually bonded in previous lives. If such bonding can exist from one lifetime to another, it certainly underscores how very powerful a spiritual bond can be. Such spiritual bonds can be experienced between immediate family members, close friends, a spiritual student and teacher, and, most decisively, between a man and woman as lovers or spouses.

Audio version read by Rev. Steven Lane Taylor, B.Msc. – Transforming from Personal to Universal Identity

In recent years, the world has advanced enormously in technology—like the proverbial snowball rolling downhill, building momentum as it goes. Outwardly, society is being transformed from what it once was to the extreme, fast pace of today. However, while the physical sciences are accelerating, human beings and their consciousness remain basically the same. This brings about the dilemma of greater technological power in the hands of unaware souls with frailty and the propensity for violence and inhumane acts.

The need for human transformation from base to higher consciousness has existed throughout the ages. However, at no time in human history has so much technology been available with the ability to destroy all of humanity in a matter of minutes. A few miscalculations on the part of the consciousness of a small number of people—or even one—could result in the annihilation of the entire human race.
