HARMONY   OF  

BODY  and  SOUL

Take the time, in a quiet moment, to go within and look at your life. Honesty and Humility are traits essential in revealing and coming to terms with our innermost being. No less so is Belief, that wondrous spiritual sense which lends itself to Truth.

Peace and Happiness result from Harmony of Body and Soul. Embrace life heartily, while at once bathing in the divine Light of the Soul, the embodiment of our God-given Goodness.

It is so freeing to love oneself and others.

COMPARISONS

It is an idle, self-destructive, path to trod when we set out to compare ourself with another. Jealousy and envy cannot but arise to poison our thoughts and adversely affect behaviour.

We are simply not like any other. We each have our own identity and our own reason for being; that is to say, our own unique purpose in life. And it is one to celebrate.

There are some, to be sure, who intuitively know their destiny early in life. Others, no doubt the majority, encumbered by the vicissitudes of life, must each strive to find the truth.

How to know our purpose, to live a life fulfilled, is less a matter of the mind than one of going within to awaken the soul, thus to connect with our higher, spiritual, self. However hard and however long, it is its own reward.

WE CAN CHANGE

None of us, it must be said, is held captive to our present state in life. We are, each of us, divinely spiritual souls possessed with intelligence and will. Thus are we able to control the ceaseless workings of the mind, the source of all that bedevils us and all that sets us free.

We can change, no matter our state of mind, no matter our personal circumstance. True change, that which endures and uplifts the soul, is none other than a spiritual awakening, a process of freeing the mind of worldly thoughts to become one with God.

AS   ABOVE

SO   BELOW

There comes to us a simple aphorism from out of the night of time which has the potential to forever change our life in a most wonderful way: “As above, so below.”

That which is “above” (no less within and everywhere around us) is the mystical rhythm of the universe embodying all the forces of nature and of God. Notwithstanding human conduct in general we are, each one of us, indisputably at one with God and Nature. Failing to acknowledge this redounds to our own lasting misfortune.

Man’s mortal mind is that which is “below” in the sense that we long ago came to disown the purity of the divine soul as we hastened our downward spiral into the dissentious world of materialism. How we may rectify that which we have torn asunder, to reclaim our senses and indeed our very humanity, becomes the question.

Mindful concentration of God’s Love for all mankind, over time, will transport our earthly thoughts to a higher astral plane; one that unites our inner spiritual self with the transcendent forces of God and Nature: “As above, so below.”

GOD’S

DIRECTIVES

These few words of God,

“… inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto me, …”  warm the heart and uplift the soul. When placed in context they are words fitting all aspects of our life.

We are all God’s children, Loved equally by Him. God is ever-present in our life, and yes, He speaks to us when showing us His way. Not always do we hear, but when we do we are transformed—not least the humble.

If we are to reclaim our God-given Goodness, whereby we learn to love ourself and others, it but stands to reason that we listen to and follow God’s directives.
