Morbid Reflection Wolves

Conditions in our life are the result of the crops (thoughts) we tend in our consciousness. If we nurture thoughts of pain, lack, unhappiness, negativity of any stripe, then we will grow more. Being a spiritual law happily the converse is true as well; if we plant peace, joy, love and belief in abundance then these will be our harvest.

If we desire happiness we cannot walk around with a long face complaining, thinking and speaking negatively. When we engage in morbid reflection our thoughts work to convince us that sickness, trouble and failure are unavoidable. To be clear: We do not control the thoughts that float up into our consciousness; thought control is not about banning a thought which is impossible, but taking right action when we become aware. Negative thinking is cunning, a wolf masquerading as a lamb, so just as the shepherd tending their flock; as soon as we become aware of the wolf, spiritually corrosive negative reflection and thinking, we take action.

Our course is clear, remembering that prayer is always the answer we place our trust in God and stay out of the results business. God does not punish with one hand and love with the other; He is always working in the positive for His children, His promises, our spiritual inheritance, are at hand as long as we stand vigilant over the crops we tend in our consciousness, keeping our wolves at bay.

Pickax or Feather?

Pickax or Feather?

Since childhood we have been told that hard work equals success. Certainly we should always do our best, yet I think we can all point to someone, perhaps you have seen them in your mirror, whom have worked long and very hard yet have little materially to show for it. I will leave the secular discussion for another day, spiritually hard work and struggling to succeed in prayer in meditation are in fact counterproductive, impediments to growth. Successful prayer and meditation, which leads to successful demonstration, is quiet and gentle. To quote Emmet Fox, “Pray with a feather- not a pickax.” Though we may be filled with fear and trepidation, we should always pray in the manner we would like to be treated in, gently with kindness, patience, tolerance and love.

Never Settle

Never Settle

“Cheap optimism is never spiritual.” Never be satisfied or resign yourself to live with anything less than the full expression of God’s love in your life. When we practice the Presence of God everywhere in our lives remarkable things happen, regardless of the secular condition of the world. Never settle for any condition in your life that expresses lack or limitation. Divine Life wants all to be happy, joyous and free, so be honest about your circumstances, the change comes when we wholeheartedly, without reservation believe that God not only will, but wants to provide for our needs, His love all encompassing.
