476. Let Your Will, Not Mine, Be Done By Dawn Fields
     Can I be honest with you? There are days when I just don’t feel like getting up in the morning. I’m noticing this a lot lately because the weather is changing and it’s pretty cold early in the morning when I awake to start my day. There are days when I move that blanket off of me and quickly snatch it back because it’s too cold to get up. I know I HAVE to get up, especially because it’s cold and I know I have to turn the heat on so it’s warm when the rest of my family gets up to start…



477. Stress Strategy: Flex Your Spiritual Muscles By Michelle L. Casto
     In his book, Stress Without Distress, Dr. Selye suggests that a person’s interpretation of stress is not dependent solely on an external event, but also depends upon the perception of the event and the meaning he or she assigns it. So, how you look at a situation determines if you will respond to it as threatening or challenging.It has been discovered that the mind is responsible for the problems we find in our bodies. It is our attitudes that cause our physical problems. We create our own …



478. Improving Your Spiritual Life (for Christians) By Ken Davis
     70% of people who send me feedback at http://www.insideoutmusic.net tell me they want to improve their spiritual lives. I'm really excited that they want to do that. In fact if you're reading this, you probably want to do it as well. If you're like many of the people I've talked to you've probably been spoon fed clichés until your ears bleed. "Just pray, let go and let God, spend more time in the Word..." You know the drill.For some reason the cliché's don't cut it. You're struggling with envy…



479. We Are All Pilgrims Each With Our Own Journey By John Redvers
     And so they set off to find the edge of the earth. Travelling only with faith and hope that their travels would bring them full circle and deliver them to the beginning in time for a new start.They waved good-bye and with each sweep of their hands the people on the shore grew smaller and smaller until they had become one with the horizon. Waves lapped at the sides of their small ship ticking like a clock timing their travel.They remembered how people had laughed as they built their boat and pr…



480. Sharpen with Age
     The other day while I was grocery shopping, I spied an item I'd never seen in the store. It was one of my favorite Italian cheeses. So I bought a piece. When I got home, I read the small print on the label. It said: Firm smooth body . . . will sharpen with age. What a great metaphor, I thought, for the way some humans age, and probably the way most of us would like to. As I get older, I've found my memory and my body are in better shape than when I was younger. Granted, I've worked at it over th…



481. The Gaian Paradigm Part 6 -- The Soul of an Apathist By Bill Ellis
     To be or not to beThe mortality and immortalityFor most of the 5.4 billion years that the cosmos has been in existence, there was no one to ponder the question of to-be or not-to-be. While quarks evolved into atoms, the atoms, into molecules, and the molecules into cells, consciousness of being did not exist. Each new step of evolution brought new entities and new properties. Only in the evolutionary phase when brain cells had evolved the and created the human mind did 'being,' -- the …



482. What Part of "Thou Shalt Not" Don't You Understand? By Vivian Gordon
     Back in the days of the old law of Moses, God gave him a set of 10 Commandments all of which began with "Thou Shalt Not"...We today, read these and take them at face value without really considering what all is involved in them.Jesus however, came along in His Discourse on the Hill, better known as the Sermon on the Mount, (Matt. 5,6,7) to go further into one of the Commandments of "Thou Shalt Not Kill". Jesus wasn't teaching us how to simply be good, or just to talk the talk, but to wa…



483. How to be Led by the Spirit of God By Daniel N. Brown
     The Bible tells us that we need to be led by the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:12-14, Galatians 5:16-25). Therefore, it is necessary for us to discern the prompting and guidance of the Holy Spirit if we are to live successful lives.Getting to know God better is ultimately the key to hearing from, and being led by Him.1. Spend time alone with Him in prayer and Bible reading. This should be a priority, not a chore that you grudgingly do if you happen to have some spare time.2. During your time alone wit…



484. Holy and Unholy Numbers By Samantha Stevens

     Divining Rods, also known as Dowsing Rods, have been used since ancient times by water witchers, shamans, and wise-ones.

Firstly, we live in a universe of energy. We human beings are, in reality, energy beings. We all have an energy …

487. Are Your Children Growing Up Too Fast? By Kimberly Chastain
     Each time our children graduate from one stage to another (i.e. crawling - walking, preschool - school, high school - graduation) we as parents are excited and a little sad as well. We want our children to grow up, but we reminisce about the "good old" days. I think those mixed feelings are normal for all of us.

488. KABBALAH OF LOVE: The Secret Power of Ego By Shifra Hendrie
     The Key to True Love...Do you long for love?Most of us do. The intimate touch of another soul is the most powerful antidote for the all-too-human experience of aloneness. It may be the most compelling and pleasurable experience there is.So why do we spend so much of our time and energy avoiding intimacy by defending ourselves, being angry, critical, closed and judgmental – in short, blocking the experience that we most deeply want?Defending the Ego Gets in the Way of Love.The answer is that we…



489. Sports and Spirituality
     In the hoary past Indian Sages perhaps neglected the body in their pursuit of God. They felt the supreme necessity of renouncing the world, including all physical comforts. However in the West, this life of asceticism is not appropriate, there is no reason to equate spirituality with rigid asceticism. Physical fitness is of great importance in the spiritual life. The body is like a temple which houses our soul, by keeping the body fit we give the best circumstances for the Soul's light to come t…

491. It's Not What You Know, It's What You Do By Lois Grant-Holland
     Knowing what is right and what is wrong in your own inner consciousness is insufficient. It is not the knowing of truth that transforms a person; it is the doing of truth that has an impact on you and on the other people that you interact with.You may know that it is inappropriate to think selfishly and look out for your own best interests first, but your inner emotions may drive you to be blinded to the needs of others.You may know that it is against your basic truth to judge another individu…

494. The Path Less Traded - the Spiritual Road to Financial Abundance! By Dr. Scott Brown, Ph.D.
     There is nothing more valuable to a sentient being then peace of mind that comes from living each day from a place of love. The alternative is an existence where perception is based on fear as taught to us by the ego. The ego teaches us that we are separate from one another; that grandiosity through competitiveness is the path to our greatness because scarcity of resources is the nature of our existence.For this reason the greatest spiritual teachers of modern times teach the necessity of di…

     'Jesus answered, are there not twelve hours in a day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, becaue he seeth the light of this world. But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him...'(John 11:9-10)'...and when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.'
