Living The Lords Prayer
Luke 11:1 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. 11:2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven... Our Father which art in heaven Hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done On Earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day, our daily bread And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive ...
Our King Complex
When King David was old and well advanced in years… Adonijah… put himself forward and said, "I will be king." I Kings 1.
The Key to a Clear Conscience
I have discovered as I grow older in Christ Jesus and wiser in all things spiritual, that one of the best possessions any person can have is a clear conscience. You feel good. I mean, you really feel good. You can let folks say about you whatever they will and it is of little consequence.
Thou Shalt Not Judge
Judgement; What does this mean? The encyclopedia definition is, "The process of forming an opinion by discerning and comparing". The bible says, "Judge not, lest you be judged", and, "How many times as christians, do we do this?" Are we not to,"judge the sinners?" No, that is not our responsibility. Remember, what Jesus said, " I have not come to judge, but to save those that are lost". Jesus, the great I AM, did not come here to judge us by what we looked like. He, came here to save us from ...
Practices for Positive Change
Connect with Your God Do you at times, feel fearful, depressed, angry, insecure or immobilized with life work challenges? Firstly, realize you are not alone. This bubbling brew of emotions is called being human. Ever-growing numbers of people are being forced into career change, long for a career change or are facing a myriad of life challenges – all exacerbated by our fast-paced world. However, our journey is about more than work transitions or what our surface ...
Complicated is Born of a Simple Thought
(Channelled) Roy, this morning in "Roy Bits," you tried to write about simple and it became more difficult as you put your thoughts on paper. What you have demonstrated is the very essence of life. A thought is simple, and it must be expressed to be actualized in physical form. It is not enough to have a thought and let it go because all thoughts are born into physical reality at some level. Physical beings are my thoughts, they are projections of me and the purpose of ...
Controlling What YOU Hear By Watching What YOU Say
If you’re going to listen to anyone you’re going to hear yourself. It does not matter what anyone in the world says about you, it means nothing until you allow it to get into your spirit and you begin to say what is being said to you.
The Gnostics and Essenes
THE GNOSTICS, ESSENES AND THE ‘OCCULT’: Throughout this book I have made reference to esoteric groups or knowledge. I have done a book called The Occult: Uses and Abuses which has twice as many words as this; but I hope this one covers enough of the issues related to the abuse of spiritual knowledge by the elites. In my research I had a confrontation with a person whose learning system is called Essene and I learned that much of my own school of thought (Hermetic) has ...
The Power of God's Word in Your Prayer Life
Prayer. It's the foundation of a Christian mom's life. Why? Because as moms, we are one of the most influential people in our children's lives. (The other, equally influential person is their father, of course.) For good or bad, what we say and do to our children affects their self-esteem, their choice of a future spouse, their occupation, and their positive (or negative) outlook on life.
Role Attachment Bondage or Moha Plays in Gaining Enlightenment
Attachment... bondage... Moha... state as we may but the meaning of all three words remains the same. Christians call it water, Hindus Jala and the followers of Islamic dharma as Paani... the intent and meaning of all the three is the same.
Surviving Separation: A Cinderella Story
I want to tell you a love story. It’s actually about a girl named Cinderella. I’m sure you’re familiar with the fairy tale but I’m going to tell you the TRUE story.
The Spiritually Dead Church
The spiritually dead church. Now, I am not talking about every church. There are alot of good churches out there. I am talking about, the churches who have christians, that gather only for the sole purpose to gossip, gather at social meetings, and feel important.
Indian Knowledge and Frauds
Iktomi: Another and somewhat longer term correspondent of mine is a Lakota Sioux Traditionalist in the adopted family of Fool’s Crow or Black Elk. There are many New Age Indian gurus which I have asked her about, including Red Elk. Here is her response to one of these people’s message. The Morning Star mentioned in this quote is Venus and the Mayan calendar has a Short Count which accurately understood the transit of Venus. Venus is also important to the anointing of leaders ...
Love, Honor, and Obey
Let's take a look at all these aspects. The bible speaks a great deal about loving, honoring, and obeying the Father. God, the Father off all creation, loves us so much, that he sent his only begotten son to save us from our sins. We have all heard this, but, "Do we love God enough to give him our all?" "Do we love him enough", to weather any storm and rely on Him for everything that we need. "Do, we show this to other people?"; I hope that we do. God, wants us to show him how much we ...
What Kind of Yoga and Meditation Leads to Gaining Enlightenment in this Life?
Every process of Yoga... neigh meditation that frees us from the clutches of attachment... bondage or Moha, whatever we may call it... Is the right process on the path of gaining Enlightenment.
A SPIRITUAL SOLUTION Wisdom From The Fulfillment Forum Books & Study Courses
A few men and women are universally successful but such superior seeming geniuses usually lose so much empathy for we lesser souls that their relationships become selfish and self-defeating. Many end up alone and unloved, in a prison of their own making, as Michael Corleone did in The Godfather. As an ancient African-American gospel song laments, life is plagued with sorrows, complications, and defeats for every person.
An Illuminatus Speaks
An Illuminatus Speaks: You will have to decide if this Illuminatus speaks with forked tongue or not. There is no black and white to the matter as I see it. I have not read a lot of Alan Watts, because people have always told me I sound like him. I promise that even if you think that someone sounds like you or thinks as you do – this is one book that will challenge many things that we all must question. Here is one of many things said by Watts which I agree ...
Christian Forums: The Heroic Battle Between the Forces of Good and the Demon of Anti Access
Saturday I was hangin’ ten on my Dell when I ran across a Christian Forum. Not just any Christian forum, THE Christian Forum. How did I know? It said so: ChristianForum.com.
God Versus the Gods
Aristotle referred to happiness as the most we can achieve. Demons and gods were interchangeable in the time of Homer when people had far less institutionalized manipulation of their thoughts and soulful understandings. What is the ‘anima’ referred to by Aristotle and other sages?
Power of Prayer The Most Valuable Dialogue of Your Life
It’s the most powerful weapon on Earth. It can turn the impossible to the possible in a matter of seconds. Yet, few people even Christians seem to take advantage of this free, priceless commodity. The name of this mighty weapon you may ask? Prayer: The act of conversing with God; the intercourse of the soul with God, not in contemplation or meditation, but in direct address to him. If it’s not the constant bombardment of the media focusing only on negativity, it’s the monotony of our ...
Afraid Of Reading The Bible? I Was!
A magnificent source of life insurance and it’s FREE. You can’t fault that! You won’t find me preaching to anyone about religion. That would be way above my simple comprehension. Can you find any written document, article, or book that you can read that gives you peace of mind, even years later? No, not even Harry Potter’s adventures will do it.
Do People See Visions Anymore?
Unless God has changed the way he does things it would seem that he has kept the lines open to men and women as usual. Should there be any doubt let me tell you a true story of a sequence of events in my own life. No one had more trouble believing these events than me; in fact I wouldn’t tell even my closest friends for over a year. Now I think so very differently.
As Above, SO Below
The ‘As Above, So Below’ law that is the combination of micro and macrocosmic reality likely comes from Hermes Trismegistus, a Babylonian who became a Pharaoh of Egypt according to the Arab Encyclopedia. Barrett is probably right about him being a legendary amalgam of people, but so what? This kind of semantic, pedantic, academic, squabbling just confuses the issue and people get to the point where they take one side or another, rather than integrate and see the effect of the power-mongers. ...
Learning the Secret of Contentment (Part 2)
Paul’s encouragement to the Philippians is also our encouragement. Consider his afflictions and trials:
White Sun Who Are We?
Human beings originally have three forms of existence. The first one in Heaven, the second on Earth and the third in Hell. Hence at any one time our True Selves exist either in Heaven, Earth or Hell. These three existences are similar to water, steam and ice. They are one and the same. On Earth we have forms, that is the human body or any other living beings bodies but in Heaven and Hell, it is formless.
How Shall We Then Live?
Qohelet had grown old with time when he delivered his Ecclesiastes and it has since become part of the wisdom literature of the Bible. And it is because of his many years of experience that he adopted the doctrine that all is meaningless, utterly meaningless.
Selfishness is a True Declaration of Life's Purpose
In your quest for enlightenment, always ask what's in it for me? On the surface the above statement will sound selfish because humanity sees it the other way around and selfishness is measured in human terms, but the truth of the matter is that "nature" is selfish by nature. Nature gives back to nature only after it has satisfied the needs of sustenance of each individual first. Humanity has taught its members to be selfless and "give" or "do," whether you like it or not, ...
When is it Right to be Angry?
Many of us have been taught that it is wrong to be angry. This thinking weighs heavily in both the sacred and secular domains. Is that thinking right or wrong?
Coming to Jesus
2 Corinthians 6:17-6:17 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whomsoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. I believe that we all can live forever if we believe in Gods word and apply it to our daily existence. We can no longer as Christians live our lives next to the life stile of the un-believers. Christ told us to " Come out from among the world and be a separate people." He was not saying that we had to ...
No Star Studded Career
What is success? It probably means different things to different people. One person said, “Success is the ability to fulfill your desires with effortless ease.” Another person said, “Success is an outcome and a state of mind and being and a matter of choice.” And still another concluded, “Success is your belief that you will achieve anything you desire.” There seem to be a consensus that accepts the definition of success as, “The achievement of something desired, planned, or attempted.”
