You are an eternal soul. You can never die. You have a temporary physical body. The fact that you are a soul and not a body is veiled from you while you are in this physical incarnation. This helps you to learn the lessons that you came here to learn.​

God created you. He is your Father and Mother. He loves you unconditionally. Through God we are all connected. God is not to be feared and He does not judge or punish you. We often see God as having a male gender and human characteristics because it helps us relate to Him while we are having a physical incarnation. Your relationship with God should be happy and loving, it does not need to be solemn and somber.

You agreed to incarnate into a human body in order to learn to love unconditionally. You may have reincarnated many times. Learning to love unconditionally is difficult, and you deserve great credit for being here. You should try to love God and all of His creation. This includes yourself, others, our planet, and all of the life that it supports.

Unconditional love is true love. It expects nothing in return. The great paradox of unconditional love is that the reward for giving unconditional love is so much more than the reward for giving conditional love could ever be.

God tells us that we should practice unconditional love by treating others the way that we would like to be treated. In other words, we should love our neighbor as we love ourselves. This is called the “Golden Rule”. We need to understand and follow the Golden Rule if we want to evolve.

The Golden Rule is the fundamental spiritual law of morality and ethics. It is a foundation of all mainstream religions, and it is proclaimed in all of them. The Golden Rule represents the standard by which our thoughts and actions are measured.

Learning to give unconditional love is about the hundreds of choices you make during your daily life. Do you make loving choices about how to think and act?

• You are a positive influence on God's creation when your thoughts and actions are loving, whether or not others are observing you. This is good leadership.

• When you judge, compel or coerce others, you are engaging in dominating and unloving thoughts and behavior.

• If you listen to your intuition, it acts as an inner guide, and it will help to identify the most loving course of action.

• You must be able to love yourself before you can give love to others. This includes forgiving yourself for what you might think of as your faults or bad behavior. If you are hard on yourself, you will probably be hard and unforgiving with others.

• Learning to love unconditionally is difficult. You may need to overcome your fears and your ego, or sense of self, in order to succeed.
  
  

Everything starts with a thought. Your thoughts are very powerful, but most people do not understand their power. What you think affects how creation develops around you. In other words, your thoughts create your reality. You are what you think, and your thoughts are just as important as your actions. Your loving thoughts and behavior benefit the world around you in ways that are not always readily apparent. You cannot be happy when you are thinking negative thoughts, so avoid negative thinking.
​

As a soul, you accumulate consequences from your thoughts and actions, both loving and unloving. This process is referred to as the "Law of Karma”. Karma is an objective spiritual law of cause and effect. Karma teaches you by rewarding your loving thoughts and acts (“good karma”), and providing lessons when your thoughts and actions are not consistent with unconditional love (“bad karma”).

Your karma follows you throughout eternity unless you cancel bad karma by learning to forgive, and by loving unconditionally. If you can do this, you will be forgiven, and you will avoid a karmic lesson. This concept is often referred to as the "Law of Grace".

You have freewill, so you control your own destiny, whether you do this consciously or unconsciously. You have the freewill to choose how fast you evolve as a loving soul.

God does not manage your life or keep you from harm, because doing so would be incompatible with the freewill that He gave you. However, He will listen if you talk to Him and ask for His help. This is caller prayer. You do not have to be religious to pray, but you do have to be loving and sincere. The focused and loving intention of prayer is very powerful, but God responds according to your best interest.

Pain and suffering is used by some to support the contention that God does not exist, or if he does, he could not be a loving God if He allows such things to happen. These are judgments that we are not able to make accurately from our limited earthly perspective. We are here to learn to react to pain and suffering with unconditional love. Many advanced souls willingly incarnate and accept suffering, because they know that their suffering is temporary, and that it brings out the love in others.

God expects us to use our freewill to think for ourselves and make loving choices, rather than bow to the pressures of a world that often demands conformity. If you subvert or delegate your freewill to others, you will share karmic responsibility for the choices that they make. Nations, societies or groups of souls accrue karma in the same way as individual souls.

You cannot ignore what you know to be right. Karmic consequences will be incurred if you are indifferent, apathetic, or inactive in situations where unconditional love is required.

Your behavior is a much better indicator of the love in your heart than your beliefs.

Religions are successful when they teach unconditional love, but they are not the only path to God. What is vital for your growth is that you try to behave with unconditional love. This is much more difficult than claiming religious affiliation and beliefs.

During your current incarnation your body is located in a physical universe consisting of three dimensions of space (height x width x length) and one of time. The physical universe is not the primary reality of creation. Your true or real home exists beyond time and in dimensions that are not generally accessible to your physical senses.

Dimensions that are not generally accessible to your physical senses are sometimes referred to as the “Spiritual” dimensions or realms. The totality of dimensions can be referred to as the “Multiverse”. String theories speculate that the multiverse contains at least 10 dimensions, and maybe as many as 26.

When your physical body dies, you leave it and return as a soul, or unique consciousness, to the spiritual dimensions. As a soul, you generally maintain the level of soul growth you have achieved, and do not regress. However, your character does not become perfect because your body dies.

Heaven and hell are not either/or alternatives. They are conditions that exist at the opposite spiritual ends of God's creation. In the heavenly realms the presence of God and His love is obvious. Hell is the absence of God’s love because He respects your use of freewill to reject His loving way. You do not go to heaven, you grow to heaven through love, and where you find your home in the spiritual dimensions depends on the love within you. Even in hell, God will not abandon those who ask for His help.

There is no conflict between God and science. God wields a multidimensional science that is far beyond our ability to understand while we are anchored in this three dimensional physical universe.

The physical universe was sourced from dimensions that exist outside of itself. It was created by the one and only God. It is full of life.

God loves you unconditionally. You are here to learn to love Him and His creation in the same way. Your reward for doing this is an eternal life of unimaginable love, joy and beauty. The closer you align yourself with God and His love, the happier you will be. Take heart, and have faith and courage. You are already much closer to God than you know.

​The soul comes from without into the human body, as into a temporary abode, and it goes out of it anew.... it passes into other habitations, for the soul is immortal.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Matthew 22

You can't escape karma ... It is what it is. It doesn't judge, it's neither good nor bad like most people think. It's the result of all the actions, positive and negative--a constant balancing act of events--cause and effect-- tit for tat--reaping and sowing-- what goes around comes around ... However you phrase it, it's the same in the end.

ALYSON NOËL, Shadowland

We have always been involved in spiritual evolution. We are spiritual beings, we have always been spiritual beings and we will always be spiritual beings.

This is what you shall do: Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God.

Walt Whitman, Preface to the 1st edition of Leaves of Grass, 1855

We do not need to proselytise either by our speech or by our writing. We can only do so really with our lives. Let our lives be open books for all to study.

Ghandi

If everyone completely understood the afterlife, they'd quit trying to keep up with the Joneses and start learning how to live unselfishly. Here [in the world] we can change ourselves quite easily and should use this life to make ourselves into the kind of people we want to be in the hereafter. The spirit world] is a miserable place for anyone who hasn't learned internal harmony - characterized by unselfish love.

Arthur Yensen

Death and love are the two wings that bear the good man to heaven.

Life does not end when we die. Death is a rebirth into a spirit world of light and love, a transition from the physical to the spiritual that is no more frightening or painful than passing between rooms through an open doorway. It is a joyful homecoming to our natural home.

What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.
