- The Bottom Line
- 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 people 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 it 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;
you do not regress, but your character does not become perfect
because your body dies.
- Heaven and hell are not either/or alternatives. They are
conditions that exist at opposite ends of God's creation, and will
vary from soul to soul. 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. Gary Zukav However many holy words you read, However many you speak, What good will they do you If you do not act on upon them? Buddha 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 The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired. Stephen W. Hawking Righteousness is good morality, and wrongdoing is that which wavers in your soul and which you dislike people finding out about. Mohammed You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body. C. S. Lewis We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance. Kahlil Gibran How people treat you is their karma... how you react is yours. Wayne Dyer 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 It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell. Buddha Every act, every deed of justice and mercy and benevolence, makes heavenly music in Heaven. Ellen G. White Death and love are the two wings that bear the good man to heaven. Michelangelo 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. Betty Eadie Compassion means to lay a bridge over to the other without knowing whether he wants to be reached. Henri Nouwen The heart is wiser than the intellect. Josiah Holland Consciousness is the glory of creation. James Broughton God has promised not to intervene in our lives unless we ask. Betty Eadie It is easy to understand God as long as you don't try to explain him. Joseph Joubert |
