Channeling God

Note these words of Christ in the New Testament which contain a great mystical truth: “I speak to them, not in words of men, but in words of spirit.” Spirit, as Christ referred to it, meant God. In effect, he was saying that it was God speaking through him. The Jesus part of his personality, or his personal ego mind, was set aside so that God’s Presence or Spirit could speak directly through him.

In the latter part of the twentieth century, the practice of channeling became popular among many people. They would gather to hear words of wisdom spoken, supposedly, through higher beings; gods, goddesses, spirit guides, and angels. No matter which of these was the hypothetical source for the spoken channeling, all shared one common denominator, which was that all information came from an outside source. People seemingly received information from “something” outside their own minds.

How to Let God Re-create Your Life

Miracle of miracles, God can re-create your life at any time that it is in need of re-creation. Whatever a person’s circumstances, no matter what conditions exist in one’s life, the presence of God working from within you can re-create your life. It is so imperative to know and always be aware of this reality.

If you are in a cycle where your life does not need to be re-created, that is fine. However, as night follows day and spring follows winter, it is only a matter of time before things may change to such a degree in your life that you are left with no choice other than to start your life anew.

In today’s modern life, with so many changes taking place at such a rapid pace, a person needs to have an anchor of solidarity when it comes to having to start some part of life, or all of it, all over again. If you are an employee, your job situation may now change several times during the course of your working years. If you are a business person, there is so much change transpiring in the economic world, you may have to start a new business a number of times. No one in a profession is immune, and most knowledgeable people today are acutely aware of this.

Free Will or Predestiny

Is your life one of free will or is it one of predestiny? Philosophers, theologians, and wise men, throughout all of time, have pondered this age-old question. If it were just fascinating metaphysical speculation, that would be one thing. But this question is far more than speculative musing. It is a critical issue concerning your life and the lives of everyone else. How you live your life can very definitely be influenced by whether you accept that you have been given free will by a creator, or God, or that God has you living a predestined life.

Most schools of theology will agree that humankind is given free will. Yet, at the same time, they will speak of messiahs, prophets and the like, who incarnated on this earth with definite predestined missions for humanity. Is it, then, that some have a predestiny, while others do not? Or is it that all people, even though they are not messiahs or prophets are also subject to living a life that is predestined?

Holistic Spiritual Healing

The word holistic has been described in numerous ways. When it pertains to the subject of healing, holistic is best defined as healing the whole person, whole signifying a trinity of the body, mind and spirit. It is the interaction between the body, mind and spirit that is the foundation of a holistic approach to spiritual healing.

With so much emphasis on natural healing, it is important to note that the absolute form of natural healing is holistic and spiritual. This reference is to the concept of an indwelling natural intelligence within the body that can maintain good health, and can restore good health when the body is in need of healing. What we are speaking about is an inner natural healing intelligence that has the innate wisdom to run the body and to heal it when it needs healing.

Your body is an energy field. The mind is also energy. In reality, your body is a body/mind energy field, or in an absolute sense, a field of mind energy. Mind energy is consciousness. Thus, your body could be described as a consciousness body or body of consciousness.

How to Receive God’s Guidance

You can receive God’s direct guidance in your life. While this thought may seem exaggerated to many, it is not. When the Psalmist said, “You are fearfully and wonderfully made,” one point being referred to was the inborn ability within the created to receive direct guidance from the Creator.

Some may question how this is possible because there are close to seven billion souls on the planet Earth, not to mention all the souls on other planets and in other dimensions in the Universe. A person may wonder how one Creator can access countless numbers of souls simultaneously. Consider this. If computer technology has advanced as far as it has in just a few short decades of human history, how much more can the creative intelligence or universal mind have progressed, having had eternity to work with?

If there are countless technological techniques in which human beings can communicate with central sources of information such as the internet, it stands to reason that an eternal creator could have long since created human and other species with which it could communicate.

The Metaphysical Mind that Produces Successful Living

Since the turn of the century, particularly in the United States and other Western countries, success metaphysics has appeared in abundance. Over the decades, the basic teachings have evolved; yet the truths upon which they stand remain relatively intact.

More recently, however, the public’s attention has been drawn toward metaphysics under various labels and packaging, through books, tapes, television, radio, magazines, and social media. Mass media communications has played a major role, along with a growth in the availability of lectures, courses, seminars, individual counseling, and tutoring.

Through it all, millions in the United States alone have been introduced to principles and practices that are part of success metaphysics. That term, as it is being used here, can apply in small or large part to teachings that might come under the label of New Thought, or a positive-thinking approach to life based on spiritual reality.

Life as a School

If a person were to attempt to derive some spiritual meaning from life, it could be likened unto a temporary school, occupied by one’s soul as it makes its way through eternity.  Life and its experiences become as instructors, teaching each soul to better understand the reality of life according to the soul’s evolvement to comprehend it on a conscious level. Herein is part of life’s mystery, that the soul learns consciously or unconsciously.

Everything that is experienced becomes part of the subconscious memory-levels of one’s mind, whether seen or unseen, whether of this physical world or other worlds.  A person may therefore be unaware that their soul is going through a learning process. The main consideration, however, is that learning is taking place and that it has effects on one’s soul.

The Prospering of a Thankful Attitude

Being thankful is just as important to our success and happiness as being positive. Being thankful is the culmination of a positive attitude since a positive attitude leads us to something for which to be thankful. Thankfulness is positivity having come into fruition. Therefore, thankfulness is a demonstration of faith realized.                          

Having a thankful attitude as we go through our day can be as helpful in realizing our goals and dreams, as anything we can have in our consciousness. Most people in today’s world fail to achieve what they believe they want or need in life because they are not thankful enough for what they already have or have experienced.

Ultimately, all ideas that are good begin in the mind of God, which exists at the center of the human mind. The more we tune into the mind of God, the greater the likelihood that we will tap into, and intuitively experience, a creative idea energy that exists in the mind of God within us which can set into motion whatever is necessary to experience the good in our physical life reality.

The Power of Spiritual Concentration

In today’s complex world, more than ever before, so much is competing for one’s attention. It is increasingly easier to become distracted from whatever it is that a person attempts to improve or accomplish in one’s life. People living in contemporary society simply have much more to do and be responsible for than did previous generations.

There may be less to do in regard to physical work, perhaps because of the high-tech age into which the world has moved, but this has been replaced with work requiring our mental attention or concentration. Our daily lifestyle requires a state of mind that can maintain concentration on appropriate priorities, if we are to remain on track as to what is expected of us by others and, most importantly, what we expect of ourselves.

For many of us, maintaining any consistent degree of concentration is difficult due to the demands which we may be facing in our daily lives. Thus, attempting to maintain concentration may, in itself, become a source of stress, as we struggle with our minds to keep them focused on the business at hand. Such stress is even more pronounced if a person is functioning on a purely intellectual level in life, without the support and relief that the spiritual presence of God within a person’s mind can provide to the more surface levels that are attempting to maintain concentration.

Universal Synthesis in Daily Living

A definition and explanation of universal synthesis can be found in Christ’s words, “The Father and I are One.” In this statement, he proclaimed that the presence of the Universe, both physical and spiritual, was One with his psyche or soul, and he with it.

Yet, the message he most wished to convey to the world was found in his words, “All of you are equal unto me, and even greater things than I you shall do.” With these words, Christ elevated all who would listen at that time, and all who would come in the centuries that followed, to a divine possibility.

That divine possibility is that anyone could do as he did; raise themselves to the level of consciousness he had achieved, and perhaps even do greater things in the future.

Jesus lived his life as the Christ, and what made Jesus the Christ was that he lived in a state of universal synthesis with God every day of his life.
