“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.”

“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.

“Declaring Your Own Independence”

How very precious is the freedom of independence from relying on anything outside of oneself!   Without such freedom, people often feel that their soul is being suffocated. This is due to the lack of breathing room to move, think, and feel life with the sense of liberty that comes from not being dependent on anything or anyone outside of oneself.

How many people today live lives of quiet, or at times, not so quiet desperation? How many people feel trapped by other people, or by conditions in their lives? How many feel this way, believing, for example, that they have no choice but to remain in some form of employment with which they feel very uncomfortable? How many feel that they are in a relationship with a spouse or significant other that they cannot abandon, even though they wish to, for fear of losing financial, emotional, or sexual support?

“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.

“Keys to Immediate Happiness”

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if everyone could have immediate happiness? Wouldn’t it be even more wonderful if that happiness would remain? The truth is that you—or anyone—can have immediate happiness that can be lasting, for it is a matter of consciousness.

Whoever first said that happiness is a state of mind was correct! If you are unhappy about yourself, your life, or anything for that matter, it is a change of consciousness that can turn despair and depression into happiness. You have the innate capacity to have a transforming consciousness—God—take over your mind, and immediately sublimate negative thought energy into positive, happy thought energy or consciousness.

“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.

“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.
