OUR   GODLY SOUL
In our unrelenting quest for truth relative to the human condition, we consider the matter of our soul interacting with a morally spiritual realm in the universe, that is to say, with God.

Faith, no less experience, leads us to know God is within and everywhere around us. That God is our soul, the very essence of life, is known to all who believe.

The ever-present aura emanating from each one of us, revealing our true identity, is but the sensory, at times visible, soul: A soul at one with nature.

There can be no doubt that we have the capacity to commune with God, with each breath we draw and with our every thought. We have but to call upon our own
God-given Goodness and to act on that Goodness.

Death is but the release of the soul, a spiritual renaissance or rebirth; something to honour.

ALL   THAT BEDEVILS
US
All that bedevils us is a product of the mind—the mind of the body.

If ever we are to free ourselves from its pernicious influence, we must put worldly thoughts aside in search of our own divine spirituality. Thoughts of God, of His Goodness and of His Love for all, lift the shadowy veils from our soul to free the mind from its physical constraints. Our higher spiritual senses are in turn ‘freed’ to minister the mind. Such senses—intuition and understanding—take us to a higher plane, one that allows us to commune with God. We are becalmed with self love and with a love of others.

Our thoughts, though pure, are but the first stage of our journey. If we are to honour our God-given Peace and to manifest His Glory, we must as well touch the lives of others with God’s wondrous, all-encompassing, Love.

POWER  BELONGS TO  HIM WHO  KNOWS
In full awareness, become still and quiet the mind. Look within and assess your worldly state. Thus begins your quest to honour that age-old philosophical admonition: “Know Thyself.”

With your God-given will clear the mind of all thoughts such that mind, body and soul are in absolute repose and in perfect harmony. Your entire being is now in the hands of God whose power alone aligns you spiritually with all of the forces of nature as part of the greater natural order:
You have become one with nature and with God. Blissful inner peace overwhelms you, and with it a Love for all of your fellow beings. Ancient wisdom says: “Power belongs
to him who knows.”

“Thy hands have made me …”

A   LOVE  
THAT   FOREVER   PURIFIES 
and   HEALS  
THE   SOUL
Lost in a daydream, we know what it is to lose all sense of body consciousness, our mind freed of worldly woe. Our reverie, if only for a moment, takes us to a higher place.

It is just such a state that we long for as we quiet our mind in silent prayer to allow God’s presence to suffuse our very being with His Love. Only by thus losing ourselves in God, our mind one with His, can we touch others with His Love:
A Love that forever purifies and heals the soul.


“… my soul shall be joyful in my God; …”

Isaiah 61:10
