“Self-Will versus Destiny”

On this earthly plane of existence, humanity exists in a Cosmic House of Mirrors.  What seems to be reality is, in truth, but an illusion of limited five-sense perception.  If one is to understand one’s own life, one must understand life itself.  And to do this, a person must be able to discern what is real from that which is not.

Throughout recorded history the subject of will has played a significant role.  The idea of exerting one’s personal will to make things happen in one’s life plays a major part in giving value or existence to the false sense of personal ego identity.  Many books and commentaries have applauded the use of will power to accomplish goals in life.  Exerting one’s will over others is often suggested as a means to an end. The world is filled with countless people who are going through the motions of pushing forth through life by what they believe is the power of their personal wills.

For a moment let’s suppose that some people believe that their self-wills are causing them to accomplish what they are in life.  Of course, to have self-will necessitates basing one’s identity on a false sense of personal ego selfhood:  A person is thought to be one self or identity, and others are seen to be different personal identities.  Thinking in this fashion means that one’s mind is accepting that everyone is separate from one another.

“Many Lives, Many Loves: Have You Loved Someone Before?”

Has the thought ever occurred to you, “Have I loved this person in another lifetime?” If you are one of the two thirds of the world’s population that believes in reincarnation and the living of many lifetimes, you may very well have asked this question.

Nothing in life is by coincidence, although on the surface some things may appear to be simply by chance. There is a law of cause and effect that is constantly at work throughout nature, inclusive of meetings and relationships of a personal nature between two people.

It does not matter how short or how long the relationship turns out to be, whether it is measured in mere minutes or an entire lifetime. People meet people and fall in love with them, or at least imagine themselves to be in love. From a deeper spiritual perspective, what is actually taking place is the living out of a karmic tie between two people.

“Realities and Absurdities of Religion”

The One Reality all religions share is that there is a God—a Supreme Being. Beyond that one commonly shared view, it’s downhill into absurdities.

The main absurdity with which most people are familiar is the clerical manipulation that “ours is the only religion.” As this is an earth-plane dimension that, for the most part, attracts souls with limited spiritual awareness, promoting this concept is easy for souls looking and needing spiritual assurance and desperate for hope. Under this banner of “ours is the only religion,” prejudices have been formed and wars have been fought—not to perpetuate the Will of God, but rather for the power of clerical manipulators.

Audio version read by Rev. Steven Lane Taylor, B.Msc. – “Resolving the Unresolvable”

To wish, to hope, to dream of better things is a state of mind through which most people look upon every new cycle in their lives. This is especially true at the beginning of humanity’s group cycle at the dawn of every New Year.

Hoping and dreaming of making things better in their lives, people make resolutions that they will live a certain way or be a certain way, that they will make changes in their lives or how they will go about doing things. Yet, whether these resolutions occur at the time of a new year or at any other time, so very many of them remain unfulfilled or unresolved.

For most people, the story is very much the same. Well-intentioned resolutions seem to fade away and become distant cobwebs in the closet of the mind. Periodically, something then happens that reminds them that what they once resolved—remains unresolved. “Why did I not follow through,” we ask ourselves, “when it was so evident that a change for the better was necessary?”
