Why We Do Not Progress As Far As We Want To On A Spiritual Path
There are many spiritual schools and many people who follow their paths and try to improve themselves, but so few make any significant progress. This is the topic I would like to discuss. Having spent most my life in the pursuit of perfecting my Being, and in that search having been to many schools around the world, I have found that the largest and most popular ones are focused on finding happiness.
Holding Forth The Word Of LifeThere is just something about our human nature that wants to dispute and defend our opinions, but in Philippians 2:14, it tells us, “Do all things without complaining or disputing (arguing).” How many of you out there know that at times not complaining and arguing is not an easy thing to do?
LESS is more, both on earth and in heaven, it seems. What might not even be expressed with words has a weight of worthiness a hundred-fold worthier in significance. So it is with prayer.
Spiritual MarriageThe union of the soul with God is sometimes called the Spiritual Marriage. As in human marriage two ‘persons’ are ‘oned’ and ‘become one flesh,’ so in the Spiritual Marriage, metaphorically, God and the soul become one.
Spiritual Tests – Are You Passing Yours?Are you passing your spiritual tests? We believe everyone frequently has the opportunity to pass spiritual tests, and in the process create a better world and good karma for the future.
Jesus’ Sermon On the Mount – Matthew 6 Verse 18bSECRETS are usually more likely to get us in trouble than glorify our faith. But this is our opportunity to ‘impress’ God, who is not otherwise impressed, unless our hearts are temporarily of a holy disposition. The reason we can know this is the cool blessing we receive for having been at joy in secret: to do something of obedience, and for only God to know, there is the experience of blessing! A spiritual blessing, for our reward is an inside job. But it’s not natural to seek after God in order to seek to impress him and not our contemporaries.
FULFILLING the Law and the Prophets was Jesus’ call. The Word of God came into the world so religion would no longer be devoid of the heart that eternally underpins the law. The chief priests and Pharisees would achieve the letter of the law – to diligently fast – but they usurped the blessings of God for themselves and, therefore, the missed the point, and they missed out! Theirs was no worship of God, but a worship of their very selves – what an irony.
Catching Messages From HeavenWhat we call the “present moment,” including all that appears within it, is actually a timeless Presence; it is not the outcome of the past, or a door to some imagined future. Passing time is just one of the ways in which that which is always present appears; but this movement of time no more defines or confines this Presence than does the rising and setting of the sun change the nature of light.
And Unto Dust You Shall ReturnFebruary 18th 2015 Today was Ash Wednesday. It is not just some ritual that says you are Catholic. It is a reminder of our mortality and frailty.
Jesus’ Sermon On the Mount – Matthew 6 Verse 16REWARD! We are all motivated by reward. Sometimes that reward is recognition and at other times it’s something more tangible. But we all operate on reward.
Angels – Angel Prince of the East Gauril IshlihaThe Sun rises in the East, bringing with it a sense of renewal, the gift of beginning again. Facing ourselves and what’s in front of us is essential as Ego-chitter chatter attempts to distract and block us on our path to fulfillment. Angel Prince of the East, Gauril Ishliha, is prepared to pave the way clearing obstacles that cause us to question our value and self-worth to do what we came here to do.
Little Girl LostWe all have our challenges to face in life. I believe it is the challenge that makes us who we are. Who would we be if we didn’t have our challenges, our pitfalls, our mountains to climb?
