“Programmed Longevity or Universal Timekeeping”

As the expression goes, “There is a time and a season for everything.” This very fundamental truth of Universal experience applies to every soul entering or exiting this physical earth dimension. Nothing in this Universe is by chance. Everything and everyone is part of a very integrated and complex Universal Process. Entire species have appeared and disappeared from the earth plane dimension. Everything has its time, or at least, the appearance of it. Everything exists and comes into being in Universal Consciousness or the Mind of God.

There is a larger picture—the Universe—with smaller details in the picture, such as the individual human expression. And yet the larger and the smaller are identical, and therefore everything is interdependent—that is, one could not exist without the other. As the seen universe is always in motion, all of its parts or details or humans are part of a very integrated process. What happens with one of its parts—the human—affects the entire whole, and how it manifests. Each depends on the existence of the other in order to exist.

“Loneliness—Mystically Perceived”

From a king sitting in a palace to a head of a government, loneliness can be an ever-present state of consciousness. Like those who rule, loneliness is also present in the lives of those whom one might not suspect of feeling such loneliness: people who are married or in a significant relationship may also feel loneliness; those whose lives are surrounded by many people through family or social ties, as well as business or career ties, may also feel the presence of loneliness. Perhaps only those who consider themselves loners seem immune to loneliness—yet even they will experience periods or cycles of loneliness.

It could certainly be said, then, that all situations that would seem to be barriers to loneliness are ineffectual to its presence—be it power, fame, fortune, or other manners of worldly cures against feeling that one is isolated or disconnected from even those who would seem closest.

“Being Spiritually Tested”

Have you ever felt that you were being spiritually tested? It is not uncommon for a person to sense that they are being put to the test spiritually by a divine power, or God. As in blaming one’s karma for making something happen, so too, for many, being spiritually tested seems to offer a rational explanation for an occurrence in their lives.

Given a broad definition of spiritual testing, there is no doubt that everyone is tested—perhaps many times during the course of their life. And given that God created human life, then God created the human psyche to be involved in the experience of testing. Testing is indeed of great importance, for it allows you to evaluate yourself.

“Healing—A Mystical Perspective”

There are many who present themselves as healers, as well as many methods of treatment, from the most primitive to what is described as the science of today. Everything has its place and time in the Universe—the Universe in Mystical Reality being the thought process of Universal Consciousness or God. And, if everything indeed does have its place and time in human experience—including healing—then in the human expression or practice of healing there is no “one size fits all” manner of treatment or one kind of healer above all others.

From a mystical perspective, healing and healers are viewed from what, in fact, is really taking place. By way of example, consider Jesus, who at least appeared to perform miracles of healing. When credit was directed toward him, the Christ Mind that was in him responded with the words: “It is not I, but the Father which doeth these works.” He spoke the great mystical Truth about healing, healers, and healing methods—the Truth that only the Universal Consciousness or God actually does the healing.
