SOUL ACQUAINTANCE...

Humanity is God's own creation, each person a microcosm of His divine spiritual light; His essence our very soul--the ever-present god within.

Of that which is our being, only the soul is immortal, and only the soul embodies God's goodness and love. All else in life is ephemeral.

Were we to become fully functioning human beings we would faithfully attend to the needs of each of our component parts--mind, body and soul. Evidence abounds, however, that we fail to nourish the soul, what with man's ongoing inhumanity to man. This, much to our own peril.

It is the soul, via our own spirituality, that unites us with God. All else in life is secondary at best. Left unattended, the soul lies dormant within. It becomes enlivened only when we acknowledge God's presence.

The quest to know God is a journey that each must take alone, each in his own way. What begins as a longing becomes, through faith, spiritual enlightenment: That which unites the god within to the Supreme God who is both within and everywhere around us.

Did You Know?  Alberta has the highest utility costs in all of Canada.

THERE IS A REASON: Alberta's elected government decided to de-regulate our gas and electric utility companies. Originally, gas and electric utility companies were public utility companies. Public utility companies are defined as being: "Business enterprises performing an essential public service and regulated by the federal, provincial or local government." ...What are your thoughts on this matter?

Thought for Reflection...

What would I “see” if I wasn’t told what to see?
What would I “hear” if I wasn’t told what to hear?
What would I “feel” if I wasn’t told what to feel?

God tells us how to see.
God tells us how to hear.
God tells us how to feel.

See with LOVE!
Hear with LOVE!
Feel with LOVE!

GOD makes it simple…. practice, practice, practice!!!

You will be blessed with the “peace” of God!

IT IS HUMANLY IMPOSSIBLE...

to reconcile in one's own mind a belief in God's goodness and love for all mankind with that of the human tragedies that daily befall us, no less with the evil of man's inhumanity to man. Those claiming to make this reconciliation do so on the basis of religious precepts which are but a guise for one's own unfounded dogmatic beliefs. It is a spurious claim at best.

God is good and His love embraces all. His power lies within each of us, to do good unto others and to love our neighbour as ourselves. Tragedy will be with us always; it is clearly a part of life. The mind will not help in understanding tragedy, for there can be no understanding of it. Our only recourse, and one that will ultimately give us peace within, is our deep and unwavering faith in God. Man's inhumanity to man, on the other hand, is fraught with human greed and lust for power. This, to our great distress, we do understand. It is therefore incumbent upon each of us, by glorifying God in our life, through a manifestation of His love, to touch even one person at a time, thus to mitigate this pervasive evil.

God is Love and only Love!
