376. For the Glory of God By Saundra L. Washington
     One of the most touching stories in New Testament scripture is the gripping drama of two sisters and a brother; Mary, Martha and Lazarus. It illustrates how two sisters dealt with grief following the death of their brother. This story is so filled with meaning that John devotes an entire chapter to it.Mary, Martha and Lazarus lived in the village of Bethany, not too distant from Jerusalem. Jesus was a close personal friend of Lazarus and no doubt He probably visited their home on many occasion…



377. Learning the Secret of Contentment (Part 1) By Saundra L. Washington
     I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:11-13 (NIV)I asked God for strength, that I might achieve, I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey. I ask…



378. Moksha - Salvation Hinduism... Highlights Concept and the Path By Vijay Kumar
     Is it not true that only after gaining Enlightenment (Self-Realization) that one can reach the stage of Moksha (Salvation).Moksha is that ephemeral truth of life without which human beings cannot sustain themselves. The cause of the human body... the process of evolution... all leads to our Soul (Atman) gaining liberation from the cycle of birth and death (Moksha) forever.Moksha being the ultimate truth of life... none can just do without! In the present life we may or may not pursue Moksha as…



379. The Subconscious Mind: A Tool For Success By Muneeza Khimji
     As a Coach and Psychotherapist I have found that the world seems to have lost its way in terms of values. Most individuals are looking for more meaning in their lives, as are businesses looking to capture the spirit of what they do. I found the movie “ What The Bleep Do We Know?” refreshingly inspiring and in many ways descriptive of my view of the world. Quantum theory and the profound effects it has on the way we view the world, our world, and therefore the way we create it is an amazing way…



380. Resurrected Beyond Belief
     I was born on December 9th, 1939, of West Indian descent, in Lawrenceville, Virginia. My biological mother, Phyllis Macklin, was only 14 years old at my birth. She was unprepared for the responsibilities of motherhood and decided to put me up for adoption. My adoptive mother, Lee Hester Peterson Walker, was a wealthy woman with a farm in the Virginia countryside. She was the only parent I ever knew. Lee meant the world to me. I loved her with all my heart and remember with great fondness our day…



381. Following a Spiritual Path By Dave Ferruolo
     In these days of Spiritual rebirth, there are many sages of knowledge, who willingly and lovingly profess their doctrines of light and love. It is sometimes easy to get lost in the whirlwind of information provided by new age authors, spiritual teachers and of course the Internet. As a seeker of Truth myself, I know the difficulty of sifting through piles of books and browsing endless web pages to find what is right for me. But I have learned to take an easier path to find what resonates fo…

     Part 8 of 10 of "What is Life?" is the Admonition Eight of Lao Mu and this is what she said:To encounter this rare event in tens of thousands of years is truly mystic and wonderful. The examination of Saints and Sages begins by Heaven.

385. The Storms of Life By Marjorie Malone
     Life is full of ups and downs, trials, and tribulations. They are called the storms of life. Whether it’s losing a job, the end of relationship, death, divorce, financial problems, sickness, homelessness, peer pressure, etc…. everyone is going to have some type of storm that they must deal with. Take a moment and reflect on some of your life’s storms that you’ve already encountered. Think about the situation and how it affected you. How did it make you feel? What did you do about the pr…



386. Death changes perspective
     We live and we die. But while living, most of us don't keep the thought of death in mind. A person suffering from an incurable disease may have the thought of death in his/her mind, but this is not true for every other normal person. For a very big population on the earth, life is perpetual. That is how they think and live. Is this a right attitude? To a certain extent this is a right attitude and at times, wrong. Let us examine further. We not only live our life thinking that we will not die, b…



387. When Bad Things Happen to Good People By Saundra L. Washington
     Why do bad things happen to good people? Surely this is a question all of us ask from time to time. Some of Jesus’ listeners asked Him the same question. (Luke 13: 1-9). They brought up the recent news about some Galileans who had been cruelly offered as human sacrifices by Pilate; and about the tower that had fallen in one of the cities in which 18 innocent bystanders had been killed; and they wanted to know if these people’s tragic deaths were due to their sins.Jesus had already dealt with t…



388. The Gratitude Toll By Soni Pitts
     I very often see rants, complaints, wishes and dreams that have a similar theme, and that theme goes something like this: "Here is my dream and here is what I have been able to do, but I can't seem to get any further and it feels like I've hit a brick wall. No matter what I do, I can't seem to bring more (customers, gigs, sales, days, money, friends, etc.) in to support this dream. I don't want to drop it but I feel I might have to in order to make ends meet (or, conversely, the ends aren't m…



389. Christian Love By Saundra L. Washington
     Actually, loving does not take any great effort on our part because it is not something we must put forth great effort to achieve. When God enters our heart, soul, and mind, love is spontaneously produced because He is love. It is a spiritual attainment. It is the result of a cause and the cause is this: God loved us first (1 John 4:19).This love is not produced by us. No one can love God until he knows that God loves him and we can only love God when we have perceived some reasons for doing s…



390. Creating Your Soul-Centered Community By Rebecca Skeele
     Imagine for a moment. It’s Tuesday night about 7pm. You are excited and full of energy even though your day has been stressful and long. You have invited a group of like-hearted, spiritually-focused friends together in your living room to share and explore living as Soul.You know some of the people well and others perhaps you met for the first time over the potluck. But now, as everyone takes a seat and gets quiet, there’s an energy of freshness in the room. All of a sudden you are keenly awa…



391. You Create Your Future, and Your Past, Now
     Strange sounding title, isn't it? Most of you probably agree you create your future now, by the choices you make in this present moment. But how can you create your past now? My mother and her sister, only about a year and a half apart in age, grew to adulthood in the same house with the same parents and siblings. (All are dead now.) My mother's memories of her childhood were warm and happy. My aunt's were not. My mother adored her parents and saw them as kind, caring, and loving. That's how I s…



392. The Springtime of Peace By Judith Pennington
     The deeper beauty of spring is its process. In winter's last days, as the sun warms the earth, each root and branch awakens to the patterned memory of who it is and what it can be. Life stirs and nature's growth in turn awakens all of us to the glories of being fully alive.Consciousness awakens in much the same way, doesn't it? One moment, everything is dark and still. Growth begins and we are excited by movement and its vibrant promise of what is to come.I have a sense of our world awakening …



393. An Open Invitation By Max Lucado
     “All you who are thirsty, come and drink.” ISAIAH 55:1, NCVThe most incredible invitations are not found in envelopes; they are found in the Bible. You can’t read about God without finding Him issuing invitations. He invited Eve to marry Adam, the animals to enter the ark, David to be king, Israel to leave bondage, Nehemiah to rebuild Jerusalem. God is an inviting God. He invited Mary to birth His Son, the disciples to fish for men, the adulterous woman to start over, and Thomas to touch His …



394. Zodiac Signs - The Mirror of our Personalities
     We all have our own ruling planet. Each and every one of us has our individual zodiac signs depending on what date we were born. These signs symbolize our characters and traits that make us different from one another. Each sign is associated with a planet that is called the 'ruler' of that sign. The Sign represents the main direction and focus you want in your life and your determination to accomplish what you want to do. It represents your personal honesty and integrity, your ability to command…

397. Christian Women Living in Freedom By Saundra L. Washington
     When we think in terms of freedom, thoughts of the freedom found in escaping traditional legal and moral chains that bound us, may understandably invade our minds. I suppose it is to be expected because women have always exerted strength in declaring their rights.One of the earliest accounts of women boldly seeking fairness is found in the book of Numbers. In the ancient near east women had no property rights. If a father died leaving no sons, his daughters did not inherit what he left. The fi…



398. When Others See a Shepard Boy, GOD May See a King!
     We are just two apples, you and me, but I just happened to fall from the wrong side of the tree! He is a pear they¡¦ll shout, throw him away let¡¦s get him out, TROW HIM OUT OF ENDEN THE LARGEST APPLE SHOUTS! He¡¦s only boy the girls say with a hush. It¡¦s never been done this way they all cried, he¡¦s a pear they said as I wept inside. Walking out of Eden was the hardest thing to do, as the tears rolled down my face. Now as you can see, I am left with nothing, alone in a big vast space. I am tr…

You’re busy with life, work, partner, kids and socials and have little or no time to stop and think about where you’re life is heading.

Little wonder then that life seems to go arou…



400. Humility, Not Pride: Keeping Ice Off Your Bow By Steve Singleton
     Tony was a professinoal salt-water fisherman. He explained how he cruised out to sea each morning, coming back each evening with his catch. “Is there a part of the year you can ’t go out?” I asked. “The winter--too risky. Below freezing, the spray starts forming ice on the bow. The added weight makes the bow of the boat lie lower in the water. Inexperienced guys fishing in winter have allowed so much ice to build up on the bow that in heavy seas the bow starts to dip beneath the waves. One dip…

2. Life is Like a Living Pendulum By George Lockett
The duality of life and the path we walk.We live in a field of opposing forces and our appreciation of this is our experience of life. We see this field as pairs of opposites, for example, hot and cold, up down, in out, happiness sadness, good evil and right wrong.But usually we experience these opposites in varying degrees, which makes them more like a pendulum swinging on a fulcrum.We then need to ask where are we?If our awareness is based at the fulcrum, then we experience all that living b…

3. Getting Beyond Imperfect Examples & Resistance, to Receiving Loving Guidance & Help from the Father By Ron Henry
As soon as he saw me I saw him. It was freaky. I must have looked like the anti-son. Long hair hanging out from a bandanna, dark sunglasses, rolling with a couple of older guys I hardly knew. I was even embarrassed that he sighted me. I think he tried to make a gesture of reconciliation. He made a motion towards me and yelled out, "Ronnie!"...I was just gripped when I heard his voice...saw his frame. Then I just slow mo-ed like before a car crash "Nooooo!" It was like a soul Brown-Out. I fazed…
