Miracles Of Recovery

“Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God" (Matthew 5:9). In contemplation some years ago, I began thinking on the “enlightened” teachers of the East and elsewhere. Initially the thought was of how I would love to grow in consciousness, to attain the level of awareness they seemingly have attained. Then, out of the stillness a question formed, “why”? It’s amazing how a three-letter word can raise the proverbial metaphysical devil.

So, I began to consider the enlightened ones and the condition of today’s world in general. What has really changed in the last 2,000+ years? Technology, general health and hygiene, transportation, better and more efficient ways of killing one another have all improved, but what of the state of our consciousness? Consider: Buddha, Jesus and other enlightened teacher’s message has been with us; in some cases thousands of years, yet we still act and think in much the same way we did during the time they lived, except now with smart phones, smart bombs, social media and big screen HDTVs. How many “enlightened” ones have there been and how many have come to sit at the feet and learn in the last 2000+ years? How has it fundamentally changed the world? An argument can be made that without their and their student’s meditations and prayers the world would be worse off than it is today, but I find that sentiment suspect, at best.

So, who are the real peacemakers? Look in the mirror. The enlightened teachers have much to offer, but it is the raising of our consciousness by daily Living on the Spiritual Basis that transforms and improves the world. Through our raised consciousness the world approaches, one day at a time, one person at a time, the tipping point when it will metaphysically slap its self on the forehead and say: “what were we thinking!” finally assuming our true place in Creation and the Universe, all mysteries revealed. So today, together, let us act, and Let there be peace, let there be love and let it begin with me.

It's A Curious Thing

Miracles Of Recovery 

It is a curious thing, typically the first person to offer financial advice, usually unsolicited, is someone who has never had any real finances to speak of. Relationship advice, typically someone who has never been in a successful one is the first to step up. On a different level we all know the house painter, who does very nice work, but whose house always seems to need paint. The obese/smoker doctor or the mechanic whose wife’s car is always in need of some kind of repair are almost cliché. One group is quick to comment on areas they have either no real experience or success in, the other, though quite knowledgeable, and possibly accomplished have failed to practice what they know so well in their own lives.

Spiritually we must seek out those who have demonstrated that which we desire in our lives, the peace, serenity, respect, and life success and ask them the questions on our heart, becoming willing to follow direction. To have a spiritual awakening we must be honest with ourselves about everything in our lives, open-minded to learn and experience new ways of thinking and be willing to change. For in truth we all reap as we have sown.
