Using The 'Gut' Feeling

We use all manner of ways to make decisions, being unsure of the future and what it holds. What might happen if we take this course? Should we buy this and hold that? Who can we trust? If we only rely on evidence we can see and hear, we will not be using all of our God-given faculties. Analysis... Sign in to see full entry.

The Burden of Guilt

Guilt is believing that we have done something to someone, and they are hurt as a result. It carries with it a judgment about oneself: 'I am wrong; I am a sorry so and so; I deserve punishment.' Because we cannot find resolution to the eternal dilemma of laying guilt on ourselves and others, we are... Sign in to see full entry.

What Causes Hurt Feelings?

As we relate to others, there comes a time when we take offense at a remark, a gesture, or perhaps at being outright ignored. If we react to these feelings of 'being hurt', then we will likely criticize, condemn, compete, or even stoop to picking apart the offender's appearance. As anyone who has...

A Lost Soul

Many speak of a lost soul as something we can find and secure through the force of will. Yet, if we believe it is secured in this fashion, how do we know for certain?

The Dead are Alive

I had her in the unit, where she was a wreck emotionally. She had just flipped her car and demolished it.

The Time Releasing Quality of Truth

Time is keeping the past alive in our minds. From this past, we meet the present and project a different future. We move from the known to the known, in a reactive way. Truth is timeless in that it releases the past by showing its false effects. A thing is said to be true if it produces what it sets... Sign in to see full entry.

How Jesus Saved the World

The prevailing belief about Jesus' function is that he somehow enabled a soul to escape eternal punishment, and to believe and accept his role is to save oneself. It is little wonder why some people grow offended and scoff at such a notion, and why it seems like such an impossible task to undertake.... Sign in to see full entry.

The Achievement of Peace

Can peace be achieved? Is the concept of peace the actual state of being peaceful? Are the results different from the means used to attain a peaceful situation, and therefore false? The answer lies in the understanding of cause and effect, which is the law of karma. Every effect has a cause, which... Sign in to see full entry.

Love Needs Nothing to Exist

What does love require from us as individuals? How can we make the best use of love, and experience its flow in an ever increasing way? When we apply spiritual law, we see that love needs nothing to exist. No-thing. A thing is a contrivance of the mind. It is that impending thought about love. It is... Sign in to see full entry.

What You See is What You Get

What do you see outside of you? Is it opportunity? It is abundant wealth and happiness? These things are but what you first see within. What you see is what you get. We can change the world by changing how we see ourselves. Most people try to change themselves by altering something outside of them.... Sign in to see full entry.
