“Rising Above It”

Throughout one’s adult life, numerous issues must be experienced, some of which are difficult and challenging to say the least. No one who has ever walked this planet has lived a life unscathed by tough and trying experiences. Metaphysically and spiritually we understand and look upon problems as an avenue for spiritual growth and understanding.

Naturally, no one wishes to invite problems into one’s life; however, no one can avoid them. The truth is that they tend to force issues in our lives, or may bring something to a head that has long since needed to be addressed. If problems, even the most difficult, can be looked upon as blessings in disguise, then it is more possible to see the spiritual reality or meaning of what is taking place in our lives.

“Personal Ego vs. Universal Identity”

The battle within humans rages on. It’s the battle between the personal ego and one’s true Universal Identity. Whatever state of consciousness is winning, the battle for supremacy and control of the body, mind, and soul is dictating how people’s lives are turning out, both within themselves and in their outer life, which for the most part is a mirror—a reflection of the consciousness within.

Most people today fall into an “in-between” state of consciousness; that is, while the personal ego is catered to, the Universal Identity, or God, is given some measure of control. Even these people who do turn over some degree of power to God may be so steeped in traditional religious dogma that a real sense of Universal Identity is lost in the mental shuffle.

“Meditating Your Way to Success”

Meditators have a far greater chance of living successful lives! There are numerous reasons for this, as we will explore. Deep meditation, such as that practiced by yogis and mystics down through the ages, is the type of meditation to which I am referring.

Deep meditation is when one attempts to let go of the intellectual part of the mind or consciousness in favor of the intuitive. The intuitive is directed by Universal Mind, or God, located at the center or nucleus of the human mind. It is intuitive direction from Universal Mind, or God, that gives one the greatest opportunity to live a successful life.

“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.
