The Mind-Body Connection

Image
  The saying goes "the body is a good friend but a treacherous enemy." Consequently, seeing that there is a mind-body connection, you should try your best to be a good friend to your body.  If you take care of your body...your body will take care of you. Nonetheless, when I write take care of your body it's not meant in only a physical sense. Your mental relationship with your body is just as important. You see the body and the mind take care of each other, however, the mind has the power to heal the body and renew your soul.   Have you ever been around people with a malady and wondered "why did this happen to them...they were always eating the right foods and exercising." The reason why it happened is because even though they have the physical part right, the mental part needs some work.  You can be as physically fit as you like but if you are hateful, envious, have a number of inferior complexes about yourself, feel unloved, guilty etc, these emotions will man...

Don't Worry...The World Has Always Been A Mess Part I

Image
"Out yonder there was this huge world, which exists independently of us human beings and which stands before us like a great, eternal riddle, at least partially accessible to our inspection and thinking. The contemplation of this world beckoned like a liberation…" -Albert Einstein The world appears chaotic and that's because in a way it is. But it's nothing new. The world has always been a mess and it will continue to be a mess long after we're gone. Don't get me wrong, the world is beautiful, amazing, and miraculous. However, these realities only blossom when we can perceive this wonderful planet of ours through the eyes of spiritual maturity and understanding. If not, the world will scare and depress you and will make no sense at all. From its conception, the  "material" world has been filled with turmoil. Yet, when you view the world through "seeing eyes" the misery, death, and destruction take on a different meaning. Of course, it does ...

Don't Worry...The World Has Always Been A Mess Part II

Image
So many people are extremely concerned about the comings-and-goings taking place around the world today, so I wrote a post titled Don't Worry...The World Has Always Been A Mess Part 1 .   Well, I decided to write a part-two to that post. This second part is written to reaffirm that "the world is still a mess, has always been a mess, and will continue to be a mess in the future." The only way out of the maze is through raising your consciousness .  First of all, it may appear that everything taking place (both good and bad) is new and has never happened before. But that's simply not true. Everything under the sun has happened before. We're just in a repeat phase of it. Maybe not in the exact same way but as the saying goes "history doesn't always repeat itself but it often rhymes."  Paramahansa Yogananda a great master of self-realization wrote: In this world there is a constant repetition of history, of war-fare and trouble. If we are objective, we b...

Life Is A Game

Image
Yes, I know...stating that life is just a game seems nonsensical. However, when you realize how life is just a game you will begin to understand how to play it . The happenings taking place today have always occurred in one form or another throughout history.  Therefore, if you know the rules of the game you will cease to be anxious. You'll start to comprehend that things will eventually sort themselves out...if you play life by the rules.  As the saying goes: There is great power within you. A power that is capable of defeating any negative circumstance if you but understand how it works. Just think...all of the circumstances in your life have been brought about due to this inner power whether you are consciously aware of it or not.  The problem is that most people don't know how to direct that power. They end up in situations and can't understand why...it's because they don't understand the rules of the game. The spiritual game we call life.  To use this power co...

The Truth Will Set You Free

Image
Whenever I mention truth it's not  man's truths that I'm referring to. Actually, you can't really call man's carnal beliefs truth at all.  Let's reason that what man calls truth are really facts. Facts can change with the wind and they often do.  The spiritual truth that I am communicating is immutable and in harmony with universal laws.  As you become more spiritually awakened, these universal truths will become more evident.   Keep in mind, that the t ruth  of any given situation is eternally present. Whether it is acknowledged is another story.   For example, according to universal law  we are not the body, we are a Soul . This truth is eternal. This is God's truth not man's truth. It has always been and always will be. Knowing and understanding this makes one less afraid of illness of the body and death. However, unenlightened individuals believe that we are the body. They have no comprehension of the soul that inhabits the body. So th...

Remain Vigilant

At times the universe forces the masses into high-gear, compelling them to move forward. Those who refuse to adapt are left behind.  This advancement requires an improvement in intelligence and profound inner reflection. Unfortunately, most are not up for the task. As it is written in Matthew 22:14 "many are called but few are chosen." Most will choose to follow the carnal world because it seems easier. Others will make the choice to follow truth  i.e. God, Yahweh, The Creator, or whatever name one uses. The enlightened ones understand, on some level, that the spiritual path is the only way to safety, freedom, happiness, and prosperity in this unpredictable world.  The world is extremely deceptive. It promises much but gives little. People consistently find themselves making bad decisions and doing the wrong things, believing that only worldly pursuits and solutions effectuate happiness, health, and prosperity.  One of the biggest stumbling blocks for many is that th...
