“Real Love vs. Imagined Love”

Is it real love or is it imagined love? Have you ever asked yourself this question? Many people have, and numerous others are currently making this very same self-inquiry. The question may be asked under varying circumstances, such as when contemplating a new relationship, in the midst of a current relationship, or in retrospect, when reflecting on a previous relationship.

And why is this such an important question? The reason is that love, above all else in life, is the single most important source of happiness, apart only from one’s relationship to God.

So many relationships and marriages end because one or both partners could not distinguish real love from imagined love. Real love is from the heart—from the very soul of a person—and it is lasting. In all relationships there are disagreements and bumps in the road in communication, but in the case of real love, such dips in a relationship do not diminish the love. Real love can override any temporary negativity between two people.

“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.

“Being Emotionally Mature”

So many people, so very many adults! As we travel through life, one thing becomes very apparent when observing people in general, and that is how few have actually become emotionally mature. Most, it seems, have never grown up emotionally. While their bodies may pose an adult image, juvenile childishness often remains hidden within, awaiting the next event in life that will summon this immaturity out into the light of day.

It appears that although the body grows and the years pass, very few individuals outgrow the immaturity of their adolescent years. Is it any wonder then that so many emotional clashes occur among so-called adults? Without having achieved emotional maturity, outbursts and arguments appear, resembling children on a playground who have lost control.

“Mystical Power of Advanced Thinking”

What would it be like if a person were born into, and lived in, a world of advanced thinkers? What knowledge would such advanced thinkers have at their disposal? What would they value most in all of their highly developed thinking? Let us first define what is meant by advanced thinkers.

An advanced thinking society would be one where the discoveries of science and spirituality have merged, and people would see that they complement and add to one another. Mysticism itself would be considered a divine science, or science of the soul. Scientists and mystics would walk arm in arm, embracing the common truths revealed, and people would be taught from childhood the ancient mystical truths that are increasingly confirmed by science.
