“Spiritual Power—Illusions and Reality”

Healing, magic, mind over matter, invoking the gods or God—all are, have been, and will be a part of the human species’ quest to have spiritual power work for themselves or others.  Since the beginning of recorded time on this physical earth plane of existence, human beings have reached for a higher spiritual power to work on their behalf or for others.  However, many have noticed that sometimes a higher power seems to work, and other times it does not.  Is one person using the right prayer or incantation while another is not?

Why does invoking spiritual power seem so inconsistent in the hands of humankind? Why is it that prayers for health, healing, prosperity, love, and other human needs and desires are not all answered?  Are some prayers chosen or favored while others are not?  Is it a matter of good or bad karma, the wrong religion, or the wrong slant on God or spirituality?

“Declaring Your Own Independence”

How very precious is the freedom of independence from relying on anything outside of oneself!   Without such freedom, people often feel that their soul is being suffocated. This is due to the lack of breathing room to move, think, and feel life with the sense of liberty that comes from not being dependent on anything or anyone outside of oneself.

How many people today live lives of quiet, or at times, not so quiet desperation? How many people feel trapped by other people, or by conditions in their lives? How many feel this way, believing, for example, that they have no choice but to remain in some form of employment with which they feel very uncomfortable? How many feel that they are in a relationship with a spouse or significant other that they cannot abandon, even though they wish to, for fear of losing financial, emotional, or sexual support?

“Transitional Gender Incarnating”

Honoring our differences—as long as they are not self-destructive or bring harm to others—is honoring God, because, in the final analysis, all differences between people are individualized expressions of God.

Through the ages, religion has very often divided people—labeling some as being on the side of God’s Will, and others as being some lower order of life.  This religious influence has brought great misery, for example, to the lives of many whose sexuality was not heterosexual.  To the religious extremist, to be gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, or transsexual is to be anti-God.  This has led to much prejudice, violence, and even killing of people whose manner of sexual expression and interest is in contrast to heterosexuals.

“Love in Extremes: Lacking It or Being It”

Who can deny that loving is life’s greatest experience, except those persons who, from lack of it, turn to substitutes, such as an obsession for power over others through force, intimidation, manipulation, and fear? Yes, the tyrant, the terrorist, and their followers are so empty of love in their consciousness that they go to extremes to fill the vacuum within their minds. Those who commit the greatest atrocities are those who lack the vibration, the energy, and the presence of love in their lives.

Moreover, those who lack love’s presence in their lives are those who lack God’s Presence in their lives, making them easy prey for the leader who uses the name of God to give credibility to his rallying cry. The recruits are plentiful, for the underworld—those more hellish, lower astral planes—houses souls ready to incarnate and lash out from the lack of love or God in their lives.
