The Mind-Body Connection

Image
  Seeing that there is a mind-body connection, you should try your best to be a good friend to your body. There's a saying that goes "the body is a good friend but a treacherous enemy." Take note of those words because they are accurate.  To t ake care of your body is not meant in only the physical sense. Your mental relationship with your body is extremely important. You see the body and the mind takes care of each other, however, the mind has the power to heal the body and renew your soul. Have you ever been around a person with a malady and thought "why did this happen to them...they were always eating the right foods and exercising and looked the picture of health?"  The reason why is because even though they have the physical discipline they haven't exercised mental spiritual discipline. The mind is more powerful than the body but many are unaware of this truth. For example, you can be as physically fit as you like but if you are hateful, envious, have ...

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 ...

Apocalypse Now?

Image
The word apocalypse has it origins in Ancient Greek  apokálypsis (ἀποκάλυψις) and essentially means a lifting of the veil . Others describe the term as a catastrophic event giving rise to immense destruction and change. Even so, the interpretation of the word 'apocalypse' depends on one's state of consciousness and how they perceive the world. The site Bibleodyssey states that: In contemporary popular culture, we often use the term apocalypse to describe the end of the world. Yet, our word apocalypse comes from an ancient Greek word meaning revelation or unveiling and carries a slightly different nuance.  For scholars, “apocalypse” refers to a genre of literature about supernatural revelation within ancient Mediterranean, East African, and West Asian worlds. Apocalypse Now - Later - Or When I came across an interesting article titled The Best Apocalypses in History.  The write-up is a reminder that it's not unusual for groups or individuals to concoct apocalyptic p...

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
The statement that life is a game may seem nonsensical at first. However, when you realize that 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. Same movie different actors.  Therefore, once you know the rules of the game you will cease to be apprehensive about life. You'll start to comprehend that things will eventually sort themselves out...if you play life by the rules of the game.  As the saying goes: There is great power within you. A power so great that it is capable of defeating any negative conditions placed before you. But you have to understand how life works, and it has very little to do with appearances.  Just think...all of the circumstances in your life have been brought about by the inner power within you whether you are consciously aware of it or not.  The issue at hand is that many individuals are not aware of the power they posse...

The Truth That Sets You Free

Image
When I refer to  truth it's not  man's truths that I'm alluding to. In fact, man's carnal ideas of truth are not  truth at all.  This is because what man refers to as truth are basically facts or imaginary beliefs. Facts can change with the wind and they often do.  Truth on the other hand is immutable and in harmony with spiritual laws.  As you become more enlightened, these  truths will become more evident.   The t ruth  of any given situation is eternally present whether it is acknowledged or not. Facts are derived from material stimuli that can change depending on a person's perspective. For example, according to universal law  we are not the body, we are a Soul with a body . This is eternal truth and not a mere fact. This truth is in accordance with God's immutable laws  and will always exist.  Another universal truth is that God is spirit . Meaning that God is not a very, very old man sitting on a golden throne beyond th...

Remain Vigilant

Image
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...
