January Philosophy

 

The morning has just begun! Today, I am told, is the first day of the rest of my life and how I deal with it. in part, will determine the remainder of my life upon this mother earth.

This is rather a serious situation! For at this moment of time I am not sure what I want to do during the course of this day that lies before me! So what do I do - now that the seriousness of my situation has been drawn to my attention? 

Do I start to worry about my predicament?

Do I start to look around me, in search of some positive thing to do?

Or do I try to ignore what I have been told?

Fortunately life is not really as bewildering as I have just described, for each and everyone of us, from birth, have been blessed to have with us, each and every day, a Spirit energy, which we term ‘a Spirit Guide’ This guide has taken on the task of helping us to deal with our lives while we walk this earth plane. 

While we sleep and also when we are awake our Guardian Angels endeavour to influence us, through our intuitive thoughts, on how we deal with all aspects of our lives. 

To play our part, we need to listen to our Spirit Guides and respond - for by doing so we will not find ourselves with complex and confusing situations where we don’t know what to do for the best.

Without the support and guidance of our Spirit Guide (or Guardian Angel) as some describe them, we would find that dealing with life would be difficult and complex.

But what if you don’t know that we have a Spirit ~Guide, you might ask? 

The answer to that is that we sometimes respond to the thoughts that they place in our conscious minds without even considering from whence they came - so although we might not fully benefit from the presence of our guides, we do benefit from their guidance for a good percentage of the time. 

Fortunate people who know that their guardian angels are always close to them are those whose lives flow more smoothly, and more positively, through the guidance that they receive and benefit from their guides.

So tomorrow, when you first wake up, listen to your inner thoughts, and you will never experience the situation described at the start!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

February Philosophy

 

Loneliness is a creation of the subconscious mind. It is one of the many negative energies that the subconscious mind creates to match our negative thoughts in the conscious mind.

If man accepts that at no time, from the day that he is born, is he alone in this world, then the negative energy of the feeling of loneliness cannot become part of his life.

Man makes his journey upon this earth in a three-fold relationship.

1) First himself the human factor.

2) Secondly the Spirit Energy which has given him the most precious gift that he will ever receive - the gift of life.

3) And finally the Spirit Guide, or Guardian Angel, who has taken on the task of helping us to deal with the trials and tribulations of life upon this Mother Earth.

If all three deal with life in a positive manner, then loneliness will be an unknown factor in the life of mankind, and his pathway forward will be both beneficial and successful.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

March Philosophy

 

Each and every living person upon this Mother Earth have one thing in common: The energy of life which enables them to have a life upon this earth. All comes from the Spirit energy field that we call the ‘God Force.’

Over the years, long before the Birth of Jesus of Nazareth, man upon this earth, seeking power and the desire to control man, devised his own images of the God force, and laid down dogma and rules by which the followers of their particular cult, religion or sect were required to follow. Thus began the development of the vast number of different religions, cults and sects that are spread all over the world today.

Looking closely at the rules and guidelines dictated by each one of the separate branches of ‘religion’ it becomes clear that although they all claim to worship various God’s or Prophets, the basis of their religions is the power to control those who follow their doctrine or beliefs with man-made rules.

The level of this control in some instances is immense; their followers being encouraged to believe that failure to obey, or practice the various rituals or dogma, carries horrific punishments and retribution. This belief demonstrates of course, that all of these religions with their man-made dogma are false, because unlike
Spirit, the rules are maintained purely through fear of what might happen if people don’t live within the framework of the code for living that has been devised for them to follow.

Spirit, or the God force, does not want to be worshiped, nor idolized in the way that other religions require. Spirit wants man to accept that they exist - and to understand that the purpose of their existence is to give life to every living thing that exists upon the planet Earth on which we live. Spirit wants recognition for the contribution that it makes to help man create a place where love, peace and harmony are basic factors of life, available for all of us to enjoy.

Fear, and the failure to live up to any one dogma, is not part of life for those who walk a Spiritual Pathway while upon this earth. The achievement of a world that lives in Love, Peace and Harmony within all living souls upon earth, irrespective of the colour of the skin they were born with, can only be achieved when every living soul accepts the God force of Spirit as their source of life upon this earth.

Spirit requires nothing more from us than our acceptance of its presence, and the acknowledgement of the inspiration and guidance that Spirit offers to each and everyone of mankind, to enable everyone of us to enjoy life, and construct, through our efforts, a world in which all of mankind plays a part, and each of us on earth enjoys the fruits of our efforts. That is all that Spirit asks for, in exchange for the most valuable gift man will ever receive - the gift of the energy of life - which in turn enables that Spirit within the human body, to gain knowledge and experience of life within that human body on the Earth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

April Philosophy

 

 

Trouble, anxiety, worry and strife;  four of the most annoying features of life, and yet man appears to have quite an appetite for them!‘Trouble’ is a label man chooses to place on anything with which he has difficulty. Instead of seeking a way to resolve the situation, he finds it easier to categorize it and then struggle to resolve it.‘Worry’ and ‘anxiety’ are emotions which man inflicts upon his own conscious mind, and in many instances he cultivates worry and anxiety out of all proportion – and yet worry  does not resolve anything!  In fact,  in many ways, it adds to the difficulty or problem by enlarging it to make it seem even less able to resolve.

The fact that there is a solution to every problem seems to elude man’s thinking at this time.‘Strife’ is another emotion that man successfully impinges upon his conscious mind with very little difficulty!  But then he struggles to control the effects of it and so cannot erase it from his being.

 

Life is all about two energies: Positive energy and Negative energies. It is a truism that Like attracts like, hence if you work with positive energies, you will attract positive energies,  but if you always look on the negative side, fearing the worst, then you are working with Negative energies and you will definitely attract negativity because you are thinking this way and so drawing the negativity towards you.Man’s subconscious mind supplies all his emotional energies. 

 

Positive energy  like love, compassion and understanding will enable him to cope with all that happens to him in life, but a host of negative emotions like fear, worry, anxiety, concern and anger inevitably leads to despair and so attracts a lack of confidence which has its own negative distractions from going forward in life.

 

Man should realise that his subconscious mind is always within his control, and that he can lock out any negative emotions that come into his head and allow only the positive ones to access his conscious mind so that he can deal with life’s challenges with confidence.

 

Positive thinking and working towards goals in a positive manner, is within the bounds of control of every living soul - provided he makes the effort to ensure he has full control of his power of thought. 

 

Only failure in using the power of thought in a positive way can allow negativity to access your conscious mind – and so to create problems that man finds hard to overcome, so as today is the first day of the rest of your life, use it positively to dispel frustration, sadness and despair and use your gift of positivity to bring joy, happiness, peace and contentment always in your life.  These are gifts, given by God, for each one of us to enjoy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

May Philosophy

 

Why don’t you tell me a story? 

All about what you feel - and about the things in your life that you need!  I know that I will enjoy hearing your story,  and when I have heard it, I will seek to help you to bring it to life.

 

Why do I want so much to help you?

This is the question upon your lips!  Have we reached a point when you are no longer aware that I am you -  and you are me?  We are but one.  I am your soul, your heartbeat, and the life giving energy within your

Being  -  I am the Spirit within.

Why then,  you might ask, do I need you to tell me your story if we are already one?

The answer my friend is that there are others who will be listening,  as well as myself,  and they, too, will listen and enjoy what you say, and as a group we can all set forth to bring your story to life.              

For although I am the Spirit within,  I am also part of a team that is around you every moment of every day.  

Our task is to help you go forth upon this Mother Earth feeling contented and fulfilled in every way, so that your contribution to life upon earth will be progressive,  and positive,  and beneficial to all others who share with you your sojourn upon this earth.

 

So now that you know why I wish you to tell me your story, I am waiting to hear what it is that you wish to say …. so that we can get on with our journey together successfully, enjoying every moment of our adventures ahead.  

For the tomorrows are getting shorter by each and every hour, and we have much to experience and achieve in the days to come.Spirit says that prayer is the best and truest way to tell your story – so just explain your dreams and aspirations in quiet meditation and sincere quiet prayer. 

 

Your wishes will be heard,  and you will be shown ways to go forward in life to fulfil all of your aims. 

Let’s start today and not waste any more time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

June Philosophy

 

Fear, worry, despair,  and anguish the four great enemies of man,  yet they are all emotions that man himself creates.

The sub-conscious mind, the creator of man’s emotions, can be his best friend - and worst enemy; it can create both positive and negative energies into the conscious mind.

Love, understanding, compassion and a caring nature. are all positive emotions and while man maintains these thoughts within his conscious mind then his conscious mind will reject and negative thoughts, since like attracts like.

It is within the bounds of man’s ability to control the thoughts within his conscious mind, therefore, when faced with a difficulty or problem,  he should first adopt a positive attitude by asking himself what action he must take to resolve the matter in hand.  This is where the emotion of understanding comes into picture,  and assists the solution of that problem.

If, however, his first reaction is negative,  like:  ‘What on earth am I going to resolve this mess?’  then in comes fear, worry and despair,  which in turn adds to the problem and clouds any judgement that he endeavours to reach.  The greater the fear, the less competent man becomes in dealing with the problem,  for his power to assess and resolve diminishes as the fear grows.

Spirit teaches man that attentive control of the conscious mind at all times is the recipe for a strong balanced life,  free from the burdens of negative thinking.   Yes it is within the ability of us all to exercise the level of attentive control over our conscious minds!  It is much more simple to react positively in the conscious mind, than negatively! 

By believing in yourself  is step one – and  realising that there is a solution to every situation and problem that man can ever face, is step two.

Using these with the inspiration and guidance of Spirit, for which you should ask - you remain in a positive frame of mind,  and the negative energies from the subconscious mind cannot infiltrate into the conscious mind.  Hence you will deal with, and resolve every situation in your life, free from the burden of worry, fear  and despair.

Negative energies deprive your body of the positive energy and life-giving properties that it needs,  hence you become old before your time, and you feel that life is getting beyond your control.

Now is the time to start taking control of your life, and your conscious mind, and Spirit will do its part,  if invited,  and together you will find that the quality of your life can be immensely improved

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

July Philosophy

 

 

Man and Spirit

 

Man's understanding of spirit is unfortunately quite confusing.  Some see Spirit in the form of an object, others in image form - and some as the form of energy.

 

The true and only description of Spirit is that it is an Energy form wholly and completely.  It is a creative energy force that can create life into any physical body and into any living thing that exists upon this earth.

 

The creative ability of Spirit gives the energy of life to a multitude of Beings, so that they can live, and develop and grow for as long as Spirit gives them the power of life.

 

There are those who say that they can see Spirit, but this observation creates an anomaly, in a way.  They should say that they are aware of an etheric image that is created by Spirit for the purpose of recognition in certain circumstances. 

 

These Etheric Images are of people to whom Spirit has given the power of life to their physical body in the past - and the Etheric image is Spirit's store house of experience and knowledge gained whilst living within that physical Being.  This is it's only means of storing this vital information to take back to the Spirit energy field, because, unlike the physical body, Spirit does not have a brain.

 

Once man develops this understanding he can develop a good relationship with Spirit.
