People say how difficult it is to walk the path of Christ, to follow the teachings of the Buddha, to be a Master; however, it seems far more difficult to deny who you are than accept it. As we are all God-children, we are all part of the whole. Where we are in life, what job we have making how much money – doesn’t matter in the least. Our souls don’t care what we do for a living – and neither will we, once our physical lives are over. Our souls only care about what we are being while we are doing.
Our actions reflect our state of mind. One does not do something to become happy, but is happy and, hence, does something to show it. Doing is a function of the body. Being is the function of the soul. The soul conceives, the mind creates the body experiences. The circle is complete. The soul can then know itself from its own experiences.
Our bodies, minds, and souls (spirit) are one. We are, therefore, a microcosm of God – the divine all, the holy everything, the sum and the substance. As we are all god-children, we should recognize that there is a divine purpose to everything, and therefore a divine purpose in everything. We should, therefore, give thanks to every condition. For nothing occurs by accident: there is no such thing as coincidence. The world is not buffeted by random choice, or fate.
Risks are essential to life. If one desires guarantees, one does not want life, but merely a rehearsal for a script that’s already been written. Some events are produced willfully; others are created subconsciously. These events are usually written off as fate, however, fate can be an acronym for “all thoughts everywhere” — the consciousness of the planet.
In summation, we should strive, then, not to make a living – but a life. To chose love in every instant, in every way, every aspect. God’s greatest moment is the moment we realize we need no God – as we are God. Those who do not go within, go without. Begin by being still. Quiet the outer world, so that the inner world might bring sight. Fear and love are the only human motivations. Basically:
All thought is creative. Fear attracts like energy. Love is all there is.
