GOD IS OUR SOUL

God is our soul:  He is within and everywhere around us. This certain knowledge of God’s presence is based upon faith made real when we embrace God’s goodness in all that we do.  And in the doing, we hunger to come ever closer to God.  We want to feel His presence, to all but touch Him.

Through faith we become one with God and, as a result, one with our fellow-man, doing unto others as we would have them do unto us.

We pray and give thanks to God with ever-growing kinship: His light within a suffusion of all-encompassing love and goodness; our spirituality His.  No longer is it we, it is God treading the earth through us.  His will obtains in all that we think and do.  We cannot see God, although we visualize Him as the light within.  Our prayers to God have become those of God, our whole being entrusted to His care.

A JOURNEY THAT WILL SET YOU FREE...

Fear not to go within in search of the real you. It will come at a low point in your life when you are at a loss, not knowing where to turn. It is precisely this combination of events that will enable, nay, even compel you to make this journey. And it is one that will set you free.

Discovery of one's own self is not an intellectual exercise, something to be reasoned in the mind. By its very nature, it is a spiritual revelation; one that reveals our primary purpose in life, that of coming to know God.

Though the journey may be lifelong, we soon come to know a quieting of the mind coupled with a sense of inner peace. Even more, we learn to love our self and we become enlightened with the knowledge that we can do no better than to love both God and our neighbour. Ever mindful of God's presence, we manifest His goodness and enrich the lives of others.

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL

     You are beautiful because of you: There are none other like you. You do, however, have one thing in common with all others--that of goodness. It is this ever-present God-given trait within you that is critical to your well-being. And, not least, it is that which unites us in our humanity.

     Goodness, albeit a very real phenomenon, is ofttimes obscured by the circumstances of life. As such, it is not to be taken for granted. It's presence, both intellectually and spiritually, requires none other than a firm belief in your own goodness coupled with self-discipline to make it a conscious reality.

     Anger and uncertainty in your life tend to obscure the goodness: you feel lost and alone in a turmoil of emotions that, left unchecked, pull you ever deeper into despair. By being honest with yourself and confronting that which gives rise to your unhappiness you at once quiet the mind and slow the beating of your heart, thus allowing rational thought to come into play. Only then can you begin the ascent to recover that wondrous sense of Elysian goodness; that which is your very birthright.

     Goodness requires that you first love yourself. This in turn enables you to give freely of yourself to others, thus sustaining and enriching your life. Thus too is your beauty recognized.
