WE BECOME a spiritual conduit...


The human soul we know to be the very essence of our being, for it is life itself.  Even more, the soul is an integral part of the divine electro-magnetic astral force that is at once diffused throughout and regulates the boundless universe.  Spiritually, we are as one with all in nature, seen and unseen.

We sell ourselves short by failing to recognize this divine interrelationship, together with its manifold human and spiritual benefits, each profound in its own right.

We begin our spiritual journey with thoughts of love—love of ourselves, for all mankind and for all else.  Such thoughts take us into a godly realm to reveal the divine purity of the soul.  In this humanly selfless state we become a spiritual conduit of God’s all-encompassing love and of His healing life-force.

No longer can we deny our own innate goodness.  Our new-found spiritual awareness exposes the heedless pursuit of materialism at the expense of nourishing the divine life-giving soul.

“… WE BECOME a spiritual conduit of God’s all-encompassing love and of His healing life-force.”

KNOWING we have control over our thoughts, our words and our actions gives us abundant spiritual power.  At the close of this morning’s meditation we discussed how important it is to be ever aware that every thought, every word and every deed reflect His divine goodness.  All of this with a mind to the proliferation of senseless recent shootings, with the resultant loss of so many lives.
                                  
Each one of us must demonstrate our innate Knowingness by BEING the kindness, the caring, the gracious, the loving, the humble, the understanding spiritual soul that our families, communities, workplaces, towns, cities and world need at this very moment:  BE the peaceful, thoughtful, positive soul that uplifts and benefits others.  All such thoughts start with our intention to … BECOME a spiritual conduit of God’s all-encompassing love and of His healing life-forceblw

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

Cycle of Suffering...


WE HAVE ONLY TO REFLECT on mankind’s age-old folly and to look within ourselves to realize how, collectively and individually, we persist in straying from that well-known dictum: “Do to others as you would have them do to you;” one found in the writings of ancient cultures throughout recorded history.

Just as a journey is made one step at a time, so must it be if we are to break this mad cycle of mutual suffering.  It is a moral obligation for each one of us to honour this simple expression of love and respect for our fellow-man.  Failure to do so is to disavow our own humanity.

“…break this mad cycle of mutual suffering…”
                                    
This past Thursday evening I visited my friend in the nursing home.  Alice was full of sorrow and needed to share her feelings. 

“I’m a failure,” she said, “… my unhappy marriage, divorce, and my strained relationship with my daughter for over forty years... we haven’t spoken in months.“

With prayerful help from a friend who is a Christian Science Practitioner, Alice is becoming freed from sorrow.  The answer is divine Love.  Love for herself along with abundant loving thoughts for her daughter will free Alice from heart-wrenching grips of sorrow; this cycle will be broken.  blw
