“Overcoming Negatives”

Eliminate all negatives from your mind and what do you have left? The answer is the Mind of God. God is the absolute positive thinker. There is nothing but God; therefore, God has nothing to fear or war with. God is in infinite control of what is and shall be. In God’s Allness, God is One, Whole and Complete.

As the human mind progresses through time, eventually it will reawaken to its own divine nature. The only thing blocking the mind from such inner revelation is that the mind of most people is generally overflowing with negatives. These negatives keep the ultimate nature of God Consciousness repressed or hidden under the negatives in the mind.

“Karma”

Karma has been linked in people’s minds to a common explanation for the good or the bad experienced in human life. The word karma itself simply means action. That action can be positive or negative. The acts of today create the fortune or misfortune of the future. The Bible’s words, “As you sow, so shall you reap,” could be the Biblical equivalent of karma.

It has been commonplace in society to say that if a person’s life is going well, it is because of good karma, and if their life is going badly, that person has bad karma. In understanding karma, you should be aware that you are the one who is in charge of creating either good or bad karma in your life. The exception to this is when you align yourself with God, in which case God will begin to remove or neutralize some of the bad karma you are carrying with you, as well as strengthen and/or give more power to the positive karma you have accumulated.

“Living Life from Within”

When life is lived from within, there is so much more to see and be aware of in the world that physically surrounds you. Most people, however, live life from without. That is, they live life based only on input from their outer five senses.

Throughout the ages, individuals possessing inner wisdom discovered the betterment of living life from within themselves. Living life from within yourself means turning inward to an innate inner—or higher—consciousness. Christ referred to this higher consciousness as “The Kingdom of Heaven within.” He admonished people to “Seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven, and all things will be added unto you.”

“Letting God Direct You”

Without a doubt, the greatest possible human experience is having direct mystical experience of God—to know that God does, indeed, exist, that God’s Presence is a reality, and contact with that reality is within you at the center of your mind.

Second only to this experience is the knowingness of having the daily companionship of God, in the form of God directing you as you engage in your daily activities. What greater advisor or counselor could you have than the Universal Mind of God directing you?

“Life’s Lessons”

As you go through life, stop periodically and ask yourself, “Am I learning life’s lessons?” For most people, life is like a physical cosmic plane workshop, ranging in human experience from great highs to great lows. What you learn or don’t learn from life’s experiences becomes the measure of your life. All experiences are part of a learning process, which translates itself spiritually into bringing forth the perfection of God into human form.

When the concept of reincarnation arises, you must ask what its purpose is. The answer given by most experts is that a soul keeps reincarnating until it gets it right. This means reincarnating until a soul has learned the lessons of human life sufficiently to have gained mastery over the human mind and soul, with such mastery manifesting as a Christ-like consciousness. As you learn through life’s experiences, you should arrive at a sense and understanding of life’s true concerns—a knowing of the real, main priorities in life.

“Is It Love or Fantasy?”

St. Paul once commented that the greatest thing is love. He was expressing life’s greatest truism, for love is the most wonderful of all of life’s experiences. Indeed, even if a person had total wisdom, the conclusion derived from all that knowledge would be that of all things in life, love is the most important.

This is so, for in love we find the foremost of all Universal Truths—that there is but One Life in this Universe, and all manifestations are bonded or in union with the One Life that is God. Love is the experience of unity, and therefore, Universal Unity is Universal Love. This is why we can draw the conclusion, quite comfortably, that God is Love.
