Those who have dared to be different are the ones history remembers. If you turn away from conformity, your soul may feel like it has been set free, for conformity numbs the soul. Therefore, set aside your ego daily so that God’s Presence within you can bring forth your uniqueness!

What Is Meant to Be
Spiritual maturity brings an awareness that what is meant to be, will be. What is not meant to be, will never be. The quicker you align yourself to what is really supposed to be in your life, the happier and more fulfilled you will be. To do this, give up your personal will to God’s will daily.

Life as a School
Audio version read by Rev. Steven Lane Taylor, B.Msc.
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.
Appealing to God
Do you appeal to God to make things happen in your life? Are you disappointed when God seems to fail to do what you want? You must realize that what you really want to happen in your life is to have a close relationship to God’s Presence. Then you can better grasp why things happen, or why they don’t.
Worst Enemy
Some people are their own worst enemy. That happens when the ego level of the mind is in charge, because the ego is limited in its awareness, and thus subject to making many errors in judgment. That’s why it is important to daily turn over the ego level of the mind to the all-knowing God level for guidance and direction.
Reasons for Things Happening
Things that happen in your life may seem either good or bad at the moment. However, when you connect your surface consciousness to the Consciousness of God at the center of your mind, you will realize that everything has a deeper and more significant reason behind it—always resulting in something positive in the long run.
Constant Change
Life is constantly changing. There are up cycles and down cycles; times of despair and times of hope. In the midst of all of this change it may be difficult to feel peace. But you can—by getting closer to God’s Presence within you, where God provides the peace, wisdom, and insight to make sense of it all.
As You Sow, So Shall You Reap
As stated in the Bible, “As you sow, so shall you reap.” So before you take any action, always remember to pause and ask yourself if that action is good, positive, and healthy for yourself and all involved. You will know the answer to that by staying in touch with God’s Presence within yourself.
Reach Out
Part of living a spiritual life is being aware of the needs of others, and realizing that you can uplift those who are feeling lonely by reaching out to them—whether it’s through a letter, an email, a phone call, or a visit. Do so and you will be in greater oneness with God. Lonely yourself? Reach out to someone!
