Updates Ancient Wisdom Basic Spiritual Facts

My Negro spiritual instructor I.F. of 17 years, had a very alone manner of sharing his wisdom with me.

His instructions were mainly oral. We would sit down facing each other early in the morning time at a little card table, munching on bagels and cheese. We would nip java and he would talk. I would listen and take notes.

This was nil like the Chelas sitting cross legged around a Guru, as they make in the East.

This was a Western maestro instruction a western student. His forbearance with me and the human race in general was infinite.

He told me that many of the things he spoke about, he didn't anticipate me to immediately understand. They were 'Seed Thoughts' as he called them, that would travel into my subconscious mind and bear fruit for later in life.

It is now over 30 old age and as I look back, I smile. Yes, many of the 'Seed Thoughts' have got born fruit and changed my life and my consciousness.

I will share some of them with you now. Let them to turn and bear fruit for you. I will set his exact words in quotation marks followed by my commentaries.

"We are not properly witting nor are other people properly conscious."

We all pass too much clip in our past, thinking and re-thinking events, both good and bad. This is not being conscious, this belongs to the kingdom of sub-consciousness, memorie.

To be conscious, we necessitate to be in the HERE-NOW of the moment, not in the past nor the future.

"Increase of consciousness of oneself, takes to more than room for yourself in the interior world."

There are many degrees of consciousnes and many human races to be explored in the 'inner worlds'. By becoming more than witting you open up these human races for yourself.

"Be careful, as you construct the constructions for your interior rooms; person will be trying to draw the ladder out from under you. That person is your personality."

Most of the fables about the fighting between visible light and darkness takes on many forms. Within the individual the fighting is between one's higher ego and one's personality.

Our personality is where all the (lies and falsities we have got picked up on our trip lie.) They desire rule over our life and make not desire you to go more than conscious. Because they cognize consciouness is their decease knoll.

The fighting is WITHIN us not WITHOUT.

"The slow difficult stairway to consciousness takes to freedom."

He used to state " Yard by yard, lifes's too hard, inch by inch life's a cinch."

"Understand, that one of the greatest jobs we confront is when we project our interior negative attitiudes on others and incrimination them."

We cannot impeach another of bad temper, meaness, hate, suspicion, unjustness, anger, or bitterness. We experience and sense these negative mental attitudes in others because they also dwell inside us.

"Stop looking for the sliver in your brother's eyes when you have got a log in yours!"

"The tumult of your day-to-day life will submerge out your Negro Negro spiritual life."

You must happen a manner to put some clip appart for your spiritual studies. Every twenty-four hours life come ups rushing in, in a million differnent ways and steals your clip and energy.

"Your interior man/woman must be renewed and Federal twenty-four hours by twenty-four hours or it will be drowned by the tumult of life."

Why It Pays To Be Spiritual At A Younger Age

When we believe of Negro spiritual people, the mental images of Mother Teresa, Popes or Jesus come ups into our mind. We experience that being Negro spiritual intends sacrificing all the pleasances of the human race and life a life of poorness and charity. Most of us have got a common impression that spiritualism is related to after-death or other-world and associate spiritualism a substance of personal religion that is only for self-satisfaction having no application in the real-life world.

Spirituality is often associated with old age. Young people often believe that they are too immature to be spiritual. They often associate spiritualism with other-worldly believes and wonderment if by being spiritual, they would lose all the merriment and the pleasance they are having from the worldly things. They, therefore, prefer to prorogue spiritualism to the future portion of their life when they would perhaps no longer be able to bask the human race owed to impairment of the organic structure hence that would be the right clip to go spiritual.

We are more than concerned about existent life jobs of the world. We have got to gain our livings, accomplish our targets, pull off a household and take attention of our children. You don't acquire paid for being spiritual. You can't do a life by following a Negro spiritual path. Why must you trouble oneself to go Negro spiritual until your worldly necessitates are satisfied?

Nothing can be farther from the truth. Spiritualism is an effort to understand the "true reality" of life and human beings. It is like any other subdivision of cognition that assists us cognize the human race better. If you cognize your organic structure well, you can surely avoid falling sick, if you cognize driving well, you can avoid accidents. Same is true for the true cognition of the people.

If you have got the true cognition of people, you can accomplish your marks by motivating your team, do your foremen and subsidiaries happy, convey up your children well by guiding them to the right way and do yourself happy by avoiding the struggles with other people and enjoying the life of felicity and peace. Therefore, spiritualty is the cardinal to your success in all countries of your life whether professional or personal. Spiritualism is, therefore, the route of lifetime, felicity and blissfulness provided we cognize the truth of the spirituality.

What is Spirituality?

Spiritualism can be defined as "the philosophy, doctrine, or faith emphasizing the Negro spiritual facet of being". Thus the cardinal to spiritualty is the " cognition of spirit" which can enable us to understand the Negro spiritual facet of beings?

In order to understand spiritualism, allow us take the illustration of any individual or our ain selves. A individual is born as baby and bases on balls through the phases of childhood, teenage, youth, adulthood, center age and old age in this world. The organic structure of the individual is constantly changing and it can't stay same at any two minutes of his life. Yet there is something in all of us that makes not change with clip and age. We name this non-changing reality as our "True Self" or "Soul". Soul can't be seen or measured yet none of us can deny its beingness as we all cognize that it is the core of our being that is present in us throughout in our journeying of life even when every cell of the organic structure have changed.

When we pay "close attention" to the world, we happen that the human race too is changing every moment. People are getting older, new people are born every day. People are continuously changing their wonts and behaviour with times. The civilization of the state and the society is under uninterrupted transformation. Yet there is something in all human beingnesses that makes not change with time. It is for this ground that the nature of the individual described many one thousands old age back in Bible, Koran, Vedas, Upanishads or Gita go on to throw good for the people of the twenty first century. Our intuition also states us that even after many one one thousands years, the core of human nature shall not change.

Similarly, in our twenty-four hours to twenty-four hours life, we meet thousands of people in our professional and personal capacity. All people looks different, come up from different economic, cultural and spiritual background and pattern different profession. We try to understand people from their profession, religion, country, culture, age and their physical appearance. Our apprehension of the human race is, therefore, based on the properties of the individual that are seeable and known, which can be defined and measured. Here we happen everyone as different and we wonder, how can we cognize such as a huge assortment of people? Knowing people is too of import for all of us as lone by knowing people we can trust to execute our occupations well and win in life.

The scientific method to cover with such as diverseness of people is by applying the rule of uncertainness and probability. According to this theory the properties of the people are distributed in random manner. Hence your human relationships with the people neglect or win by opportunity and there is hardly anything you can make about it.

Eisenstein ridiculed the rule of uncertainness as he firmly believed that everything in this human race can be understood given proper apprehension of the same. He expressed his ideas in his celebrated quotation mark when he said, "God makes not play die with the world."

The events look random lone owed to our limited apprehension of the event. Randomness is only owed to the deficiency of cognition about the true reality. Once, we get the complete cognition of things, everything goes predictable. Today the solar or lunar overshadow can be predicted many centuries in progress within the truth of secs since we have got understood the movements of the planets. However, we are not able to do even a indeterminate anticipation of temblor owed to deficiency of our cognition in this area. For a "casual observer" of the world, everything looks random and every thing haps by opportunity while for an "attentive observer", everything haps by designing and predictable.

If a individual pays "close attention" to the occurrence of the world, he begin noticing a form in all the diverse things of life as everything in the human race haps owed to a common force, common regulation or a common physical thing that is called "spirit"

Logical Understanding of Man

The cognition of "self" and the "human beings" is inevitable in the life of every "thinking" individual as everyone seeks to understand people and the human race to accomplish his goal. When, we interact with any person, we judge him based on a mental theoretical account of the individual made by our mind. We utilize our theoretical account to understand and pull strings the head the individual in order to acquire the things done or accomplish the aim of the ego or the organization. When the consequences are as per our expectation, we develop religion on that theoretical account while when we fail; we revize our theoretical account so as to acquire better truth next time.

Similarly, we do a theoretical account of ourselves too. We believe that certain things will convey us felicity while other would convey us pain. We either accomplish our end or fail. When we accomplish success, we anticipate the felicity while when we neglect we anticipate the hurting as per our model. If we don't acquire the feelings we expect, we change our model. Thus the "knowledge of self" is also continuously evolving.

Therefore, with experience in life, people continuously change their theoretical account or position of the human race and the self. Those who concentrate only on the stuff nature of the things be givens to develop different theoretical accounts for each person. Such people often happen fault in every individual as they happen the mental theoretical account of every individual different from their ain model. Since they see their theoretical account as "right", they obviously happen everyone else "wrong" as they are all different from him or her. This give rise to struggle as each individual positions his human race in a different manner. Thus a logical individual who seeks to understand the human race scientifically and rationally acquires frustrated from the human race as they happen that the human race is not like it should be "based on their model" and full of "wrong people". They are also not happy and satisfied themselves because their ain theoretical accounts are faulty and all stuff and worldly accomplishments neglect to give them happiness.

The theoretical accounts of the worldly individual never converge as they never pay any attending to the worlds that can't be seen, felt or measured. Therefore, the logical theoretical account of the human race often neglects to supply any satisfaction and felicity to the individual in his life.

Spiritualism: One Model for the World

However, when an perceiver sees the human race more closely using not only his head (the logic and reason) but also intuition and intelligence, he notices that there are two types of "realities" in this world. Once that is visible, perceptible and mensurable which is changing every minute while the "other reality" is unseen, unknown and static that is the cause of all action.

The "invisible reality" may be compared with "the gravitative field" or "the magnetic field" that bring forths the military unit of attractive force or repulsion, yet it can never be seen or measured except by observing its consequence on the other stuff things. Interestingly the cognition of this "unseen reality" only caused the birth of science, when Newton first noticed by observing an apple falling on the land that there must be a military unit (field) that pulls everything to Earth.

While our attending is usually focused on the "effect" i.e. on the things that are changing, we lose the "cause" why they are changing. Understanding this cause is like apprehension the "gravitational field" as you can then recognize that the military unit of attractive force or repulsive force is not random but impacts in the similar manner to everything on this Earth or even in the existence "following the same rules". This regulation is perennial and makes not change with clip and object.

Similarly, the attending of the Negro spiritual individual is focused on the "common rule" or "common reality" that governs everything. Thus he, instead of determination all events as random, understands the "rules" that governs the human race and makes not change with clip and place. Therefore, instead of screening the human race as made of random events, a Negro spiritual individual understands the designing of the human race and detects "unity and diversity".

Once a individual understands the spirit of the world, he happens that the theoretical accounts of all people and every animal of the human race are not different but same. Fortunately, these theoretical accounts are very same as his ain model. This works out his job as now he can understand the whole human race simply by apprehension himself. He can now understand the feeling of any individual and foretell every individual from his ain felling and intuition. In short, a Negro spiritual individual cognizes the human race from the cognition of the self. This cognition of the human race paves the manner of his success in life.

Success by Spiritualism

The cognition of ego is, however, not as easy as it seems. We always believe that we cognize ourselves quite well. However, in the journeying of life, we always rediscover ourselves and happen that our earlier perceptual experience was not correct. We then recognize that we have got never paid sufficient attending to cognize what we are.

Many one thousands old age back, Upanishads, the great Bibles of the East echoed the same positions when it was said, "I am the Universe" (Aham Brahmasmi). Many one thousands old age later Pythagoras, the great man of science and mathematicians in the Occident too discovered the same truth independently when he sated, "Man cognize thyself; then thou shall cognize the Universe and God".

There is no uncertainty that the cardinal to accomplish all type pf success lies in the cognition of the ego and the world. Therefore, being Negro spiritual is good to ego and the society. Don't wait to first go old then to go Negro Negro spiritual as then therefore would be no usage of being spiritual. There is old doubleton of celebrated Indian Sufi poet that says


Everyone pray Him only in distress,
None in his happiness,
Pray Him in your happiness
Why must you ever have got distress?

So why not go Negro spiritual now, and bask its fruits for remainder of your life? The earlier to become, the more than clip you have got to bask its benefits.

What Is The Hope You Have?

This twelvemonth is going to be an interesting one. I'm referring to the elections. We read and we watch the mass media and from them we garner information about the campaigners who are running. Can we believe and trust everything we hear or see? The mass media is used to rock people's sentiments 1 manner or the other. Then, I see how this consequences in confusion. Pretty soon, we don't cognize who to believe anymore. This is a strategy which have been maestro minded by the father of prevarications since the very beginning of creation. Shaytan instituted every lie, every word form of doubt, every spot of confusion that ever was or will ever be, until Jesus tax returns to oppress his head. Satan's docket is to steal our hope.

One chief manner that we are set into a state of confusion is through the media. It's the studies we hear, it's the visuals we see and it goes the mainframe computer for our beliefs unless we cognize the beginning of all Truth, God's Word. But, are we bothering to check up on it out in full? By who's formulate of authorization are we taking in this information? It's the buzz, all the achromatic noise that makes an ambiance that stirs us up. We be given to be persuaded by what we see or hear and then we do determinations based on our opinions. Can we swear our ain opinions? What if we only knew half of the story? What if we heard only half of the truth? I can only reason then that if we heard one-half of the story, there must be another one-half that belies the first half. If we only hear one-half truths or half lies, doesn't it do sense to deduce that it's not all it looks to be? If any portion is false, then it's all false. Same as if something were partly true, it's not the whole truth. Are we willing to settle down for one-half truths when it come ups to our very lives? So, allow me inquire you, what is the hope you have got got for this life... and the next?

The 1 thing that really saddens me is that many people are living their lives as if this is all there is. They don't have a hope because they can't see God's truth, they don't believe He have a program for them. They can't fathom the thought of the world of their Negro spiritual seperation from God. For a individual who is dead in his sin, all this looks nonesense. These same people will settle down for portion of what they have got determined as the whole truth. For them, their heads are made up, they have got all the replies and won't make bold to research any other possibility. For example, I cognize a individual who is intelligent in societal affairs, she have a Masters in the humanistic discipline and learns in high school. She claims to be an agnostic, one that makes not believe in a higher powerfulness and declines to acknowledge that perhaps there's more to life than just existing twenty-four hours to day. What I happen rather dumbfounding is that an educated individual with caput cognition would proclaim to be doubter in the first place. The root word intends to be ignorant. For person who clingstones to their ability to larn and be learned, they are claiming to acknowledge that this topic is not knowledgable, therefore remaining ignorant to the true facts. Are it truly possible to be intelligent and decline to seek out the truth? Are it safe to presume that a individual with this narrow minded position isn't all that intelligent? I'll be the first to admit, there are alot of things I don't cognize or ever will know. But I believe if I opened my head up I would larn alot more. Cognition enlightens, it conveys with it understanding. Things that once made no sense now do a whole batch of sense. Even I cognize this. Are it smart to believe that you can't larn any more? Even more than so, refusing to hear it? We all have got a free volition to decide, but shouldn't we at least be aware of all the information before we do the choice, right or wrong? Supreme Being cognizes there are people like this and He states us the result of their folly.

"Let no adult male lead on himself. If any adult male among you believes that he is wise in this age, he must go foolish so that he may go wise. For the wisdom of this human race is folly to God. For it is written, 'He is the 1 who catches the wise in their craftiness' and again, 'The Godhead cognizes the logical thinkings of the wise, that they are useless." 1 Corinthians 3:18-20

God already cognizes that all the so called wisdom of a adult male is mere foolishness. The logical thinking behind a individual who sees themself to be wise, is actually useless. Useless in that they will never cognize Jesus and just why they necessitate Him. Without Christ, it's impossible to have got hope in this life or the next. He also already understands why so called wise people see the things of Supreme Being foolish.

"But a natural adult male makes not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised." 1 Corinthians 2:14

A "natural" adult male is actually a individual who misses occult life and wisdom. When a individual have been converted to God's Truth, he is a born again person, made alive by the Holy Place Spirit. It is the Holy Place Spirit which lights God's Truth in order that we can now understand the hope we have. Without this occult transformation, the natural adult male is spiritually dead and can not understand God's ultimate plan. As a result, this individual have no hope for an ageless life. It's all folly to them. But what is really foolish is that this so-called wise individual will never cognize a life of ageless peace, joy, love, contentment, patience, or long sufferiing in this human race or the next!

Our ultimate intent as a human beingness is to family with our Creator, God. The lone manner to make that is to accept His Son Christ. This credence then salvages us and gives us an heritage with Him in heaven. Other than this, no one, no substance how wise they believe they are, can ever trust to salvage themselves. And Supreme Being have given an unfastened invitation to "whosoever" will turn from their sinfulnesses and confess them and believe that Jesus is their Godhead and Jesus will be saved. This travels for every atheist, every agnostic, every individual of every race, religion, color, location and sex. No 1 will He turn down, even if you have got turned Him down. Supreme Being is patient, loving, merciful and gracious unto us. He desires that we will all one twenty-four hours cognize the hope we have got in this life and the next.

Do you cognize what your ultimate hope is today? Supreme Being doesn't anticipate you to be perfect. Don't wait to make clean up your enactment first because it's impossible anyway. If you are truly bad for rebelling against a holy Supreme Being and cognize you necessitate His forgiveness then don't wait another second. State Supreme Being the Father in your ain words 1. You are a evildoer and demand His forgiveness for those sins. State Him how truly bad you are. 2. State Him you believe that He sent His Son Jesus to decease in your topographic point and also that He raised Him from death. 3. Now give thanks Supreme Being for giving you a topographic point in Heaven with Him. If this was sincere and heartfelt, you can be assured that your name have just been add to the Lamb's Book of Life! Welcome home!!! State a Christian and larn how to maintain growing. Increase in godly wisdom.

Hymns Vs Choruses - Finding The Right Balance In Church Worship Music

For three old age while I was a worship curate almost every hebdomad person from the fold would convey up the issue of Hymn's vs. Choruses. Some members wanted more than than than hymns, some wanted more choruses, some wanted anthems sung like choruses and some wanted less anthems and less "old" chorus songs so that we could make more "new" stuff. It didn't look like it was possible to do anyone happy.

In fact, it was hard to do anyone happy. I would seek to set the premix of the music and seek tried to educate members of my congregation. It just didn't look to matter... That was until I figured out that the issue wasn't really about anthems or choruses (at least for most people). The argument about these two styles of music was simply a manner of voicing other ideas and issues that were weighing on people's hearts. I came to recognize that in almost every case, when people voiced their dissent about anthems or choruses they had another issue that needful to be addressed. Here were the five most common issues that I found...

1. Congregation members wanted to experience that they were valued and that the things that mattered to them mattered to the leading of the church. They wanted to be heard and they wanted to experience that their opinion, likes, disfavors and feelings were of import to person else. Many of the aged members of the fold didn't desire to experience forgotten while little members wanted to experience that they had some say in the manner that the Christian church worked too.

2. There is an unbelievable amount of selfishness in the Church. Many Christian Christian church members are looking for a church that volition "meet their needs" above all else. This be givens to bring forth a consumeristic outlook that Pbs people to a topographic point of rating instead of participation. Often the model of the anthems vs. choruses argument necessitates to be reframed so that members recognize that it is not "all about me" but instead it is "all about Him".

3. The argument over the style of music for a Christian church is often more than about alteration and alteration procedure than it is about music. Change is painful and almost cipher wishes it. Sometimes as Christian church leadership, we bury that most people battle with change, especially if it is rapid. Congregation members desire to experience comfy when they come up to Christian church and alteration can do things comfortable. Often if the issue of anthems vs. choruses is raised as a tangible illustration of opposition or feelings of edginess with change.

4. Although there will always be a few people that love to kick about everything, it is of import to retrieve to give people the benefit of the uncertainty when they raise concerns about anthems vs. choruses. Often, when people recommend for more than of one or other style of music they are genuinely worried about the worship services being relevant and ministrant to a specific audience. Amazingly, two people who sit down adjacent to each other in the Christian church benches can see the mark audience of the church as two completely different groupings of individuals. A leading who projects vision well and have a clearly defined mark in head can really assist to relieve this problem. Many people who may have got a penchant for Hymns or choruses are willing to set aside their personal likes and disfavors in order to break curate to a different generation. This is one of the things that brands the organic structure of Jesus strong.

5. Sometimes it is not about the music at all but instead is about the theology. It is tough sometimes to state if this is the existent issue for person or just a manner for them to reenforce their point. Either way, both anthems and choruses should be evaluated carefully to guarantee that they reflect sound philosophy and tantrum with the instructions of God's word. Churches that take to make less anthems will often necessitate to work harder to guarantee that their music is not only doctrinally sound but is also theologically rich.

Leading worship can be a difficult job. However, apprehension where people are coming from when they convey up this issue can be even harder. These are five things that I noticed when dealing with the issue of anthems vs. choruses at my Church. Perhaps you will see them at your Christian church as well.

Is Our Spiritual Growth Being Served by Our "Way of Life?"

Don't you just love this escapade we are all on called "Life on Planet Earth?" It is a delightful and fantastic game and the lone manner it would be otherwise is if you take for it to be.

Right now we are in a phase of corporate evolution, as the human species, where we have got chosen for it to be otherwise. As a human race society we have got chosen to believe that we are separate entities, as people, as communities, as states, as nations, and as a planet. We have got got chosen a position of screening life as a battle that must be won in order to continue the "way of life" that we have chosen and created.

We chose this position because upon entering this physical human race the predominant belief system said that it's a jungle out there and the lone manner to last is by being the most fit. You have got to develop and make your life so that you are continually winning the conflict to be better at the game of life than your competitors. You detect that if you acquire really good at winning then you acquire to do the rules. This assists you maintain an advantage over your rivals and accumulate more than points.

The gage that is used to see who is a victor is the accretion of earthly things that we possess, because in this paradigm you acquire to have got all that you have struggled and fought and manipulated to acquire as portion of the game. All the stuff places that are deemed by your society to be of value are held as trophies to your success.

You have got the parts of the Earth that you have acquired including the air above the Earth and the land and the minerals below the earth. You have the people in your life that assent to your right of dominance. You have your married woman or hubby and handle them as portion of your possessions. You have your children and throw their achievements as your ain and disallow their perceived failures.

As your possessions, you endeavour to transfuse in them your value systems and judgements and seek to cast them in your mental image and likeness. You quash their independent thought because you cognize what is better for them than they do.

You adopt the virtuousnesses of freedom because you desire to be free to prosecute all avenues that aid you be a winner. But your definition of freedom often struggles with another's definition of freedom, so you join forces with people who share your position to guarantee that your definition of freedom prevails. Once again, you win, they lose, and you acquire to put the rules.

Of course of study the freedom you take is one that lets you to collect more than of the stuff ownerships that most people playing this game desire the most. That is, the accretion of money. It is by this criterion that society acknowledges your stature, and it is to this symbolism that the society have got got created a mantra and a "way of life."

The mantra is that "who you are is not of import if you don't have adequate money." And the "way of life" we have created is that it is our God-given correct to possess and devour as much of life's premium as we can afford (or borrow or steal) and this must be preserved at all costs.

So what have that meant to us as individuals, and societies, and nations, and a planet? As individuals, societies, and states we are always at choice. The planet have no choice. It is at effect to the picks we do and the lives we take to make as individuals, societies, and nations.

Wait a minute. You intend that we, as individuals, clasp the very endurance of our planet in our ain hands? You decide. Read on.

Here is how individuals, societies, and states continue their "way of life" now. I am generalizing here, because not all societies throw this view, but the bulk of the societies of this Earth are acting in the mode that follows.

Most people have got bought into the paradigm of life that states we are all separate from each other, the planet that prolongs us and separate from God.

They believe they are separate physical things unto themselves and as such as they are mainly concerned with trying to win points in the game of life and continue the position quo. The position quo being their "way of life." On an individual degree they are conditioned to believe that by struggling and manipulating their lives they can collect and get money and stuff ownerships that they have got been told will do them happy, and or addition them entranceway into heaven.

Individually they back up those systems and establishments that reenforce and addendum these endeavors. The chief systems they trust upon are religion, instruction and government.

Individually, most people have got values of honesty, responsibility, fairness, regard and freedom. However each of these values is subject to each individual's interpretation, because each person comprehends that they are separate from every other individual and separate from God.

So individuals, in their pursuit for some type of uniformity in their value systems once again trust heavily on the establishments that support their "way of life." Religion, instruction and authorities are the systems that continually act upon people in their separateness, and people continually reenforce these establishments to keep doing so, under the pretense that by doing so they can go on to maintain their "way of life."

My inquiry to you is this, "Are we being served by believing in the paradigm of separation and it is the "way of life' we have got created serving us?"

A Spiritual Choice - Unconditional Love or Conditional Love

In the dualistic existence of theory of relativity there are two ways to look at love. First is the love based paradigm of love that come ups from integrity consciousness. Second is the fear-based paradigm of love that come ups from a separation mentality. Love-based love is unconditional love. Fear-based love is conditional love.

The sad thing about it is because we are taught from birth to undergo this fear-based paradigm of love, we not only encompass it, but we make it unconsciously in our ain experiences of love. As we put our statuses and undergo our fears, we cognize deep within ourselves that this fear-based conception of love cannot truly be the love that we wish to experience as pure.

It makes not look right to maintain thought 'I will love you if....' If you are a blonde. If you are rich. If you are pretty. If you allow me take advantage of you. If you will love me back. It makes not substance what the "ifs" are because, with this paradigm, the fearfulness is always there.

You fear the light-haired may turn to gray. You fear the wealth may travel away. You fear the pretty may acquire old and ugly. You fear that your advantage may change and they will take advantage of you, or you fear that they will not love you.

What you make not always recognize is that whoever you are projecting this fear-based love on is doing the same to you. They were taught fear-based love just like you were, and their percepts of you are also deeply rooted in the conception of conditions. Neither political party can uncover their true selves or they will be at a disadvantage in the relationship.

Their fearfulness is that their statuses will not be met and they will be vulnerable to the statuses push upon them. Trust is lost and then fear tallies amuck with lies, fraudulence and rejection, all in the name of love, but not love purely given.

What is this conception of love purely given? It is defined within the paradigm of the Supreme Being of integrity consciousness. The Supreme Being of unity is at her core pure love. There is nil to fear about this Supreme Being because the result of your life is assured. This is a Supreme Being who makes not justice you, and lets you to dwell your life freely in the mode you choose. This is a Supreme Being who have no cause to penalize you. You will not be condemned to hell, because there is no such as topographic point in the universe. This Supreme Being dispenses her love unconditionally and is totally accepting. You can swear and demand not fear this God.

We see by our ain fear-based system of love (which is the paradigm of separation), and the ideas we believe about love when we are stuck in this paradigm are that they reprobate us to never really experience unconditional love.

This paradigm, and the conditioned love it requires, also reprobates us to never acquire to cognize the all-loving Supreme Being of integrity and unity. We cannot cognize this Supreme Being as long as we take fear-based actions. The actions that we have got got got got got been taught all our lives.

These fear-based actions will never let us to recognize ourselves, and never let us to apparent in our world the full glorification of who we really are and who we can be.

To do this paradigm displacement from an untrustworthy, fearful, and vengeful Supreme Being who is separate from us, to a trusting, loving, and accepting Supreme Being who is one with us, we have to change the beginning of our teachings.

In the past we have trusted in the instructors and coaches who have fed back to us the events and experiences of adult male and have claimed to state us the truth. Their instructions are well intentioned and not meant to misinform, but the human race is that their instructions came from the same fear-based paradigm this world have subscribed to for one thousands of years. This external manner of screening the human race have got not stopped the killing, hate, and fearfulness that permeates all of civilised society, as we cognize it today.

These instructions have relied on man's thought that by passing on the experiences of the past, we can do a better future. Man cannot appreciation the thought that we should be able to larn from the past, because we go on to reiterate the same errors and actually kill, hatred and fearfulness on a much grander scale. Hate and fearfulness have got escalated civilised society's ability to construct more than and better arms of killing and destruction.

The conception behind how we dwell our lives today is rooted in the thought that we are here to larn the lessons of life. We travel to school to larn some of life's lessons quicker and easier in a standardised setting. This environment is well suited for the fear-based world that states we are separate from each other.

By allowing a standardised state of affairs to be to learn us the lessons of life, we make the perfect scene to truly exemplify and promulgate the separation mentality. This instruction system sets the standards, and the pupils have got to mensurate up to them. Those that win in figuring out the system are deemed acceptable to society, and those who make not are deemed failures and are relegated to failure position in our society.

Success in this instruction system guarantees that you will at least have got the chance to fit yourself with the accomplishments to win the game of endurance of the fittest. It makes not vouch the result of your life, but you have got less fearfulness of losing or failure.

Those who make not win in this system are denied many of the chances required to play the game effectively, much less win the game of endurance of the fittest. It makes not vouch that you will be a failure, but it intends that you will have got to travel outside the system to get what you necessitate in order to compete.

Compete you must in this system because it is one of victors and losers. We are taught from early on that we desire to be winners. To be a also-ran is to fail. The result of your life is in serious uncertainty if you are a failure. This is what we have got got been taught from our earlier lessons in life.

Under the pretense of looking out for our best interests, we have been told that we must larn life's lessons in order to be successful. Success was defined in different ways and we could easily look at the human race around us and find that, somehow, success was having tons of money or celebrity or a combination of both. Somewhere in the instruction procedure we were led to believe that once you were successful you would have got got felicity and peace.

Nowhere make they learn you that in order to have felicity and peace all you necessitate to make is take felicity and peace and then "Be felicity and peace."
