“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.

“Thankfulness in Mystical Reality”

Everything that exists physically—even ideas thought by those in physical embodiment—has a deeper, more profound energy existence.  The idea of thanks is part of a deeper, more Mystical Reality, as well.  A person who expresses thanks for any physical life experience is not, in the majority of cases, aware of the profoundness of his or her expression.  A person expressing thanks to God may have little, if any, awareness of the deeper significance of such an expression.  This is because, unless a person has been blessed with real Mystical Awareness, giving thanks is an expression of limited, personal ego identity.

It may be that when giving thanks to God, there is a divide of consciousness or awareness between personal ego identity and Universal Identity, or God. Because of such a divide imagined by the personal ego, the full Mystical Reality of the idea of thanks is lost in the myriad of personal ego subterfuges.  When the personal ego gives thanks to God, the ego is one thing or identity, and God is another identity.

“Mystical Prayer”

Prayer can and does work, particularly if it is mystical prayer. The world is filled with a wide variety of ways to pray. Each has its own effectiveness or lack of it. The reason any particular form of prayer is effective has not to do so much with the technique or manner of prayer, as with the person praying.

This is the secret of effective prayer; the critical factor is not primarily in the prayer itself, but in the person praying. Whatever state of mind or consciousness a person is in spiritually has far more to do with whether a prayer will be successful than the particular prayer or brand of theology from which the prayer originated.

“Rising Above It”

Throughout one’s adult life, numerous issues must be experienced, some of which are difficult and challenging to say the least. No one who has ever walked this planet has lived a life unscathed by tough and trying experiences. Metaphysically and spiritually we understand and look upon problems as an avenue for spiritual growth and understanding.

Naturally, no one wishes to invite problems into one’s life; however, no one can avoid them. The truth is that they tend to force issues in our lives, or may bring something to a head that has long since needed to be addressed. If problems, even the most difficult, can be looked upon as blessings in disguise, then it is more possible to see the spiritual reality or meaning of what is taking place in our lives.

“Seeing the Kingdom of Heaven Before Transition”

What a difference it is to know that what Christ referred to as “the Kingdom of Heaven” does exist! Imagine the impact such knowledge could have on how people live their lives. The value systems of so many people would be profoundly changed if they actually knew that life is eternal and that everyone goes on beyond this life.

It is one thing to blindly accept any theology that teaches that life continues, but quite another to know firsthand that your life will continue beyond your physical body. The vast majority of religious theologies do, indeed, teach that life is eternal, but people are asked to believe on faith alone.

“Spiritually Reducing Stress”

Perhaps the greatest contributor to ill health in society today is stress. Psychosomatic medicine estimates that 70% to 90% of all illnesses are functional, dependent upon one’s state of mind and emotions, rather than organic, based on a virus of some kind.

The tension and anxiety connected with daily life in a modern city can be enormous. How you handle such stress can make the difference between your being a healthy person, or not. Over a prolonged period of time, stress can lead to chronic disorders or affect the immune system’s ability to fight off disease.

“Prospering Presence of God Within”

Even a thief can prosper, but at what cost? As the Bible states, “What profiteth a man if he gaineth the world and loseth his soul?” A person may focus on almost nothing but money, be an atheist, and nonetheless prosper. The reason for this is that all of the person’s energy and focus are being placed on their income.

Without spirituality in one’s life, and with a focus solely on money, there may be a tendency to open oneself to engage in deceitful business practices. The old “anything for a buck” type of energy rules the person’s consciousness and conscience. It is in such a state of mental self-centeredness that morality and ethics are lacking.
