Why You Should Trust Jesus If You Are Stressed
If you are in a stressful situation and you want to be at peace all the time, you have to trust Jesus all the time. Trust Him completely so that you are always on an even keel and not happy and hopeful one day and then hapless and hopeless the next.
Broken Perceptions: Or Does Everything Hurt When You Poke It?We can tell we have a broken finger by the pain we feel, and we can tell a broken perception in the same way, by the pain we feel. It is not necessarily a physical pain, although that can be a symptom, it is also emotional pain. We all have both of these kinds of pains at least some of the time.
Many religions have attempted to interpret the 6th Commandment “thou shalt not kill” to mean the murder of a human being. They go on to say that the original translation into English and the biblical explanations of the words killing and murder (which apparently pertain to humans only) justify the slaughter of animals for food and sport. The Catholic Church has also gone so far as to ludicrously state that animals have a different type of soul than a human. This speculation has originated from a poor fund of spiritual knowledge. We seemingly extend our compassion and love to our cats and dogs but due to our attachment and lust for blood and flesh we stingily withdraw our natural sympathetic understanding for those animals that need our protection and care the most – namely the poor unfortunate chickens, pigs, cows and especially, at this time of year, the turkeys. If we do not wake up and start to realize that all of God’s living creatures are there for our protection, and not to be mercilessly killed in the slaughterhouses, then society and the world will to continue to reap bad collective karma in the form of wars and other misfortunes.
Humanity and Bodhicitta: Original Confucianism’s Superior Person and Buddhism’s BodhisattvaThe bodhisattva in Buddhism is the one who, having reached the very threshold of Nirvana, refrains from entering and instead returns to help all beings reach the ultimate state. Shantideva, the 8th century buddhist scholar, wrote A Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life, or the Bodhicaryavatara. Shantideva emphasizes the significance, the importance, the rarity of a human birth from a karmic standpoint.
New and True Benefits That Self-Study BringsOften, when we first set out on the path of self-study, we begin with unrealistic or just plain mistaken expectations about what it will do for us. The unconscious wish that fuels this early stage of self-study is simply to become a better “old” person, rather than to become a completely new person.
Techie Auto-WritingAutomatic writing has probably been around as long as scribes were putting pen to paper, but since computers have become common-place, auto-writing can be high-tech. While many people believe putting a pen on paper is the only way to really reach out to your Higher Consciousness or Spirit Guides, I prefer the computer keyboard.
This article explains how universal energy is utilized by all animal species. It explains that all consciousness originates with “All That Is”, creating Entities, Personalities and all living things. So you could rightly say that all perceivable physical phenomenon experience Soul level or another.
Dancing With Spirit: Living Life With Effortless EaseWhenever I think back to the times when my life was a struggle, there was always an element of me trying to force something. Either things weren’t happening as quickly as I wanted them to – according to my time frame, or what was showing up didn’t look exactly as I wanted it to, and therefore I couldn’t see the value in it. There is so much talk about The Secret and the Law of Attraction these days, yet I think a fundamental element of the process of creation has been glossed over, or lost entirely.
Organization Is Next to PerfectionFor everything that exists there is an order to it. It may be a system, nature or just an idea but to all things there is a way that it is organized. Just by looking at the human anatomy it is obvious to see that it is formed in such a way that there is an organization to it. The positioning of the different organs is so calculated such that it is next to perfection if not perfect. It follows then that all things have their form of organization which when set appropriately can function to their optimum.
Spiritual Growth for the Metaphysical Community Involves Waiting for Divine TimingThe metaphysical community is excited about the influx of high vibration energies coming onto the planet.

Spiritual Gifts – What Is Your Spiritual Gift?You have something in you which you may not recognize as being there and therefore you cannot use it. This something is of immense benefit to you and others around you, if you find it and use it. It is a spiritual gift given to you. What is your spiritual gift?
Holding Fast to What We’ve Already AttainedWe’re perhaps always hungry for spiritual growth, but how is it that we throw away good previously hard-fought ground to go after a new idea or thought that the Lord’s given us, forgetting what we ought to have brought along? Let’s not forget the previous growth we’ve fought so hard for.
