“Higher Guidance—Or, How to Let God Fill in the Details”

So much of the stress that is experienced in modern-day society is as a direct result of not knowing what to do in one’s life at any given moment. In today’s rapidly changing world, more than ever people need to know what to do in their lives, and once they do know—how to manifest it.  Or, even if there is some knowledge of what should be done, there exists a void for most people as to how to do it.

Down through recorded history, the greatest guidance has come from inspired thought and thinking. First, an inspired thought, or the original idea, emerges from within oneself as to what to do in one’s life. This is followed by a series of ideas as to how to put the original idea into action and how to see it through to fruition.

Know that the Presence of Universal Mind, or God-Mind, is in you right this moment, as it has been all of your life and will continue to be for the remainder of your physical life and beyond it. Mystical research and wisdom through the ages have shown that both the original idea and the follow-through thinking in support of the idea  have come from the higher, deeper part of the human mind—that part of the mind that mystics have described as Universal Consciousness or Presence of God within the human mind.

“Establishing New Patterns of Thought”

When a person begins to feel that life is a negative rut, then indeed there is a need for change. Change must come, or life evolves into endless days of inner turmoil, where one seems stuck in quicksand, spinning one’s mental and physical wheels. A person feels unable to move one’s life out of the quagmire in which one finds oneself. It is as if one’s life does not seem to be able to advance beyond a certain point and that point is far from what one needs or wants in order to feel that life is worth living.

In this state of mind, a person may find it difficult to know what to do, because it is one’s very state of mind that can be likened unto a jailer who has imprisoned his thinking into such a pattern, that he cannot comprehend the proverbial forest from the trees.

In this state of mind, individuals may feel almost helpless to help themselves, having tried patterns that already exist in their mind to change things, but failing through the use of those very thinking patterns. Nothing will ever change in people’s lives until they themselves make a change. The change must begin within themselves, and the change must begin in the way they think; to change from negative thought patterns that are producing nothing, to positive thought patterns capable of breaking the chains of mental slavery that prevent people’s lives from improving.

“Healing Through the Laying On of Hands”

Spiritual Healing is a reality that cannot be denied. So many people today, who at one point, were diagnosed as incurable by medical physicians, are healthy once again because of an involvement with the practices of spiritual healing. There are numerous ways to practice Spiritual Healing, yet down through history, the practice of the laying on of hands has possibly been used and applied the most frequently.

The reason for this is obvious when one considers that whenever a person has an ache or pain, it is almost an instinctive reaction to place one’s hands on the area of the body where the pain exists. Similarly, there is almost an instinctive reaction to place one’s hands on a part of a loved one’s body that is in pain or uncomfortable. And more than that, there seems to be some justification for this, as in most cases the pain and discomfort appear to ease up or even dissipate altogether. To some degree, the physical action of laying on of hands visibly supports the idea that a healing is in progress.

“Releasing Personal Ego Will to God’s Will”

The greatest act of pure folly in human life is to live by the will of one’s personal ego. After all, the personal ego is no more than a composite of limited knowledge and understanding. The personal ego has nothing more on which to form its conclusions than the limitations of outer sense impression, learned knowledge from outside sources, and formal education—which is similarly based on outside knowledge. Outer knowledge—even of the most sophisticated science—is subject to change, which means a truism of today may be tomorrow’s fiction. Upon such flimsy criteria for being, the personal ego is founded. Therefore, when one’s personal ego begins to expound on its will for one’s life, it stands on mental and emotional quicksand.

In spite of this, the average person today clings—sometimes desperately—to this illusion that one’s personal ego and its will must be the definitive decision-maker in their life. Many people feel that if they give up the will of their personal ego, they will be left barren of all joy, and end up living an austere life—like that of monks in a monastery. The truth, however, is quite the opposite. When one gives up the will of the personal ego, more of life’s true blessings become available as a greater number of opportunities become apparent.
