At
some point during our lifetime, our soul prompts us to ask, "What
is my purpose on earth?" We
start looking for answers as our curiosity grows.
It
seems that society is gradually becoming more receptive to spiritual concepts.
Interest in New Age, Spirituality, and Divinity is flourishing.
There is a deep thirst for spiritual knowledge.
We
all come to earth to fulfill a great number of tasks. We have a responsibility towards the material world and we
have to fulfill it. It is
misleading to pretend otherwise. There
is absolutely nothing wrong in meeting the challenges that confront us in our
daily lives.
However,
don't forget the fact that you have a soul that needs nurturing.
In order for you to be able to keep up with your daily worldly
activities, you have to learn to receive guidance from your soul.
There are three elements in a human: body, mind, and soul.
All three must be encouraged.
The
reason we come to earth is to grow spiritually. Each individual has a certain mission to fulfill. The type
and level of the mission is unique for each individual. God continues to send us
messages everyday of our lives. The key is for us to focus on spiritual growth.
Here
are some spiritual concepts that can enhance our spiritual and personal growth.
If
you are looking for a way to encourage your spiritual growth dramatically, God
has given your soul an instrument to do so.
It is called forgiveness. Sooner or later, we have to learn to forgive.
The wheel of karma turns forever. The law of karma states that every action has
a consequence. One way to escape
from this tedious cycle of cause and effect, birth and death, is to use the
power of forgiveness
We
come to earth to experience the different facets of love. The entire
universe revolves around various forms of love.
The more affection we bring to existence, the more we will receive.
Love starts in a physical realm and then blossoms into a spiritual realm.
Before we can experience the spiritual bliss of God, we must experience
love on a smaller, human scale.
Suffering:
A Blessing in Disguise
Suffering
can take place because of many different reasons. You don’t always suffer
because of past karma. During periods of suffering, you explore the depths of
your soul. The divine is hidden
inside the heart. There are many
layers of suffering that we must penetrate in order to develop spiritually.
When
all thoughts cease, spiritual experience takes place.
Jesus Christ said, "The kingdom of God is within you."
The only way to get a glimpse of this kingdom is to go silently inside
your self. You cannot approach this
kingdom busily talking. You must
let go of all thoughts and words first.
Karma
means actions. The law of karma is a universal system that is based on the
concept of cause and effect. The
law of physics states that every action produces an equal reaction.
The law of karma works on the same principle. Positive karma encourages
progress of the soul, and negative karma hinders the progress of the soul. Karma
can also mean the choices or decisions that one makes through free will.
Throughout our lifetime, we are engaged in a series of choices.
Loneliness
and aloneness are opposites. Loneliness
is a negative state of mind; aloneness is positive. One leads you to misery and depression. The other leads you to bliss, eternal freedom, and
enlightenment. Fear and insecurities manifest themselves in the form of
loneliness. We constantly rely on others to keep us entertained. Loneliness is very harmful to our soul. Until we are able to transform loneliness into aloneness, we
will depend on the material world to fill the gap of loneliness.
