Beginning the Journey into Spirituality

We are all made up as a three-part being when we come up into this relative world: mind, body, and spirit. This is also known as subconscious, witting and superconscious, or Father, Son and Holy Place Ghost, or whatever three verbal description plant best for you. This article is all about reaching lucidity on the topic of spiritualty so we will utilize the term mind, organic structure and spirit.

Our mind, organic structure and spirit existence is in perfect balance at birth. We are love and love environments us. As we venture into this relative world, we understand we are one with the beginning of all things. We are one with God, or Allah, or Jehovah, or whatever you wish to name the cosmopolitan source. For clarity's interest we will name the cosmopolitan beginning God.

At birth we cognize we are one with Supreme Being and our spirit is in balance with our head and body. We are launched into this human race with the top of expectations. A miracle have happened. We have got no demands except to be nurtured by our mother's milk and the love of mankind. Well, what happened between this blissful clip of balance and how we see the human race today as adults?

The procedure of life in this physical human race and a set of beliefs that have got got been passed down through the millennia have affected the manner that we see the human race and our human relationship to it. At the bosom of these beliefs is the grandfather of them all: The belief that we are separate from each other and separate from the cosmopolitan beginning of all that is; specifically, the belief that we are separate from God.

We necessitate to define the foundational conceptions that volition set spiritualty back into our mundane lives. To make this we must research how we see the human race today, both individually, and as a society. We must research how the percepts we throw about ourselves function us or not, and whether they function the planet we dwell on. We must also look at available options for us to prosecute and usage if we so choose.

As we venture into this journey, I inquire that you suspend your judgements and unfastened up your bosom and your head to this information. As you journeying down this way of spiritualty you will happen that you will get to get rid of your judgements about people and events, and start enjoying a more than accepting mental attitude about the people and events that show up in your life. As you venture further, you will see the flawlessness in the procedure and how this is an effortless journeying that you are creating to carry through your deepest purposes and desires. In the procedure you will detect how you can make the individual that you wish to be while you are fulfilling your life's desires. You will see how your existence makes your doingness, which consequences in a pursuit that focuses more than on who and what you are being and not on what you are doing.

Let us get our journeying in earnest. Our pursuit is to larn about the nuts and thunderbolts of spirituality. The first measure of our journeying is to understand why we are the manner we are now. Why is it that we are not in balance with our mind, body, spirit? Why are we living lives of changeless defeat and having such as a difficult clip determination the simple conception of interior peace? These inquiries and more than are answered as we follow the way of our journeying into spirituality. This journeying will transport us to new views that were previously unknown. It gets with unfastened Black Maria and unfastened minds. Let us travel forward and get our journey.

Making A House Into A Home

"A individual without a house is not a person" Talmud

A place is a cardinal portion of our lives. We put so much, love, time, attention and money into edifice our homes. What is the kernel of what a house is all about? How can we do it into a powerful tool to impact the human race around us for the good?

The kernel of a house:

A house makes a personal space. It is a topographic point where we are free to be comfy and to be ourselves. A house makes this by creating a lasting barrier that shields us from outside influence, be it weather, animals, or unwanted guests. A house is safe space. But we can't always remain at home. Sometimes we must go forth the safety of our places and human face the world. Yet, our places supply a topographic point where we can rest, recharge, and acquire ready to travel out and human face the human race again.

We should do our houses our ain small utopia. This agency getting quit of the things we don't like or need, and scene things up so that we experience and enactment our absolute best. Setting up our place in this manner assists us remain focused when interacting with the outside world. In the outside human race we may necessitate to compromise. But with our place as a lasting reminder of who we are and what we really want, we will never loose our ultimate goal. And one twenty-four hours we will do that end a reality.

In this way, our house goes a very powerful tool. It assists us impact the human race around us without being affected, because we can always withdraw to our place base. There we can recharge, reconnect and reconsideration our scheme before emerging to weather the human race again.

Ultimately, our house should stand for the ultimate end of creation: telling G-d's Kernel in the physical world. Everything in our place should be connected to this end in some way. For example, our topographic points should be places of charity and good deeds. For example, each room should have got a charity-box*. These little alterations redefine our personal space, making each room a G-dly room, a room with a higher purpose. This also unifies all of the rooms, creating a peaceful harmoniousness between all of the facets of our lives.

If you desire to alteration the world, or change your life, get by changing your house. Brand certain that your house suits who you really are and what you really desire to be. When your house suits your essence, your house goes a home.

* Excluding suite where this is inappropriate such as as the bathroom.

Karma Isn't Punishment & You Can't Have Karma Without Reincarnation

The concept of karma is often misunderstood. It's not about
punishment. That would imply there's a judging God and we
don't believe that, nor do other experts in the field, such as
Brad Steiger, Richard Sutphen, Dr. Ian Stevenson, Dr.
Raymond Moody, Dr. Leo R. Sprinkle, and numerous others.

Whenever you feel that something in your life is unfair, keep
asking why until you perceive the situation more clearly and
understand the root reasons. Not the surface reasons, but the
deeper and past life reasons; what started it all. Keep asking,
and meditate on why.

For example, a family member refuses to respect your basic
human rights, to the point of blatant abuse on a consistent
basis. You forgive her, you express tolerance, but she still
continues, frequently disturbing your peace of mind and
tossing in additional challenge in your already demanding
daily routine.

Why? You think to yourself that you've never treated anyone
this way in your life (this one, at least), and that you can't
imagine acting that way to her or anyone else. However,
know that one's personality in this life is not the same as
personalities in prior lives. A "saint" in this life could
very well have been the opposite in prior lives, before
learning the value of honesty and respecting others, for
example.

Initially you get zero insight about the matter, but then
impressions slowly start to form through meditation. You
intuit that it could be one, or both, of two different notions:
you dished out a similar challenge to her in previous lives
and, or you agreed to this circumstance before incarnating to
help you develop your level of compassion and acceptance.
Does this awareness make it go away? No, but it allows you
to further understand the matter and therefore garner more
forgiveness, for yourself and others.

It's not about what happened to you, it's about why. When
you understand why you (yes you, on a soul, not personality
level) chose to experience the situations, conditions and the
lessons involved, it becomes much easier to handle. With
awareness comes compassion, and compassion leads to
forgiveness. Taking full responsibility for all circumstances
in your life and forgiving yourself and others will set you free.

Why God Doesn't Answer Your Prayers and Other Puzzling Questions We All Have

Life is full of hard questions. Here's an answer to a few of them.

Q. How come God doesn't always answer our prayers?

A. God doesn't always answer your prayers because you may be asking for something unreasonable or that doesn't fit into the plans God has for you. God is like a good parent; he won't let you do something that is bad for you. Asking to win the lottery might sound like the solution to your money woes but it will probably cause you more harm in the long run than working hard for a living.

Another reason God might not answer your prayers is because you took the credit for the answer. Pulling off that big job or saving your marriage. The expression "all glory goes to God" means you have to give God credit for answering your prayers or he may not answer the next one. And, sometimes the lack of an answer is your answer.

Q. Why do people kill in the name of God?

A. Unfortunately there are people who lose the meaning of what God is saying to us. The Old Testament in the Bible has stories about God helping the Jews fight off their enemies. They win because God is squarely on their side. The problem comes when people today think God is telling them to fight for him. God can fight his own battles. He can win them too!

After God made a new covenant or agreement with us, each of us became responsible for our own outcome. We win the battle by choosing to follow God, and conversely, lose it by not choosing God. And if we don't choose God, by default we've chosen to follow the devil. Scary thought isn't it?

Q. If God exists, why is life so difficult and why is there so much suffering in the world?

A. God is not the one who makes us suffer. God is the one who saves us from the suffering. It's ironic how most people wait until their lives are so bad or they are so miserable they want to end it all before they even consider that God might be able to help. God is available to us 24 hours a day, every day of the year, even on holidays and weekends. God will help you when you call on him, but he won't step in unless you ask.

The devil is the one who brings suffering. His only job is to literally make our lives hell so we'll turn away from God. The devil also tempts us with all sorts of pleasures too but as many people soon find out, those pleasures ruin their lives and bring suffering through loss of jobs, relationships, dignity and even our lives. Once God banishes the devil, all suffering will end.

Q. Why doesn't God just banish the devil right now?

A. As bad as this sounds, God and Satan entered into a kind of bet and we are the prize. Thousands and thousands of years ago, Satan bet God that he could turn us away from God, so God decided to give him a little time to see what would happen.

If you look at what's going on in the world, you might be convinced Satan has won. But more people than ever are turning back to God after trying Satan's pleasures and finding them lacking the one thing every human craves–love. I think we have a God hunger that cannot be satisfied by anything else and that all humans will eventually come back to God.

Q. Why does God cause bad things to happen to good people?

A. God never punishes us. The bad things always come from the devil–Satan. Satan's whole job is to get us to turn away from God so he uses the things that work the best–suffering, pain, tragedy, loss, death. All of this suffering wears us down if we don't have any help. God is there to help.

Your suffering may not end right away but suddenly there is someone else sharing the suffering with you. This is a difficult concept for most people to understand. Why doesn't God just fix it? Mostly God doesn't fix it because we don't learn anything from it. It's like a child who gets in trouble, if the parents always swoop in and fix it right away, the child doesn't learn the lessons. We are the same way.

If you've never had severe financial struggles, how can you have sympathy for someone who does? God wants us to be available to help others so we all have to struggle with something in order to be there to help someone else. Usually the most compassionate people have had the most suffering in their lives. Be thankful for whatever suffering you are going through because it prepares you to help someone else.

Q. Why are some Christians so judgmental? And why do they act so holy but aren't?

A. On the whole, most Christians are less judgmental than the average person is. Some people run into Christians who are not really saved or who are early in their journey with God so they appear to be very judgmental. Just like any other person, there are Christians who are kind, compassionate, smart, funny, goofy, serious, plodding, fussy, messy, quiet, loud, fair and yes, judgmental. Everyone travels a different road to being a better person. Some people take longer to get there than others. Some of the most judgmental Christians are actually much less judgmental than they were before being a Christian. That's all we can hope for–that they'll get less judgmental with every passing day.
