There is no doubt that when using the law of attraction for the good of everyone, you are connecting yourself to great power. However, the law is also available to you individually so that you may live your life to the fullest. When you live your life to the fullest you have so much more to give others. Your pain and misery does not help the world. But your joy and your life lived fully uplifts the world – Rhonda Byrne
In the world there are many different roads but the destination is the same. There are a hundred deliberations but the result is one – Confucius
For the diseases of doubt, despair and hesitation, which are the occupational diseases of spiritual aspirants, the most effective remedy is service – Sri Sathya Sai Baba
If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practiced, I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished – Swami Vivekananda
Life has no smooth road for any of us; and in the bracing atmosphere of a high aim the very roughness stimulates the climber to steadier steps, till the legend, over steep ways to the stars, fulfills itself – W. C. Doane
Happiness grows at our own firesides, and is not to be picked in strangers’ gardens – Douglas Jerrold
To create your tomorrow, go over your day when you are in bed tonight just before you fall asleep, and feel gratitude for the good moments. If there was something you wanted to happen differently, replay it in your mind the way you wanted it to go. As you fall asleep, say, “I will sleep deeply and wake up full of energy. Tomorrow is going to be the most beautiful day of my life.” – Rhonda Byrne
Another passage from the Bible that has been misinterpreted by Christians over the centuries is “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me”, uttered by Jesus (John 14:6). Here I will endeavour to look at this statement from a different angle, but first we need to break it down.
“I” refers to “God The Father” or the Universal Absolute that exists beyond matter, beyond astral energy; and indeed beyond all forms of vibratory creation.
“I Am” refers to this Divine Entity manifested as “form” in the Universe and beyond.
“the way, the truth, and the life” refers to the fact that God in its subtlest form exists as light energy that permeates every single cell of creation. This guiding light is “the way” to “the truth” (or self-realisation) which awakens us to “the life” (eternal). Most human beings have lost sight of their divinity and therefore endure a living death here on Earth, oblivious to “the life”.
“no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” also has a much deeper and more profound meaning than the one normally perceived. As has been stated many times before “Son of God” refers to the Christ Intelligence or Christ Consciousness that is present within all human beings, and not a man of flesh called Jesus Christ. However, because Jesus was a fully realised soul he had achieved oneness with that Christ Consciousness and this is why he identified himself with it. It should also be stated that as a self-realised soul, Jesus had completely shed all traces of his ego, therefore when he said “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me”, he was speaking from the standpoint of a soul who was “One with the Father” and not as a man speaking from the standpoint of the ego-self. In other words he was simply making a helpful and insightful statement of spiritual truth as opposed to “I’m the big cheese around here and you wont be allowed to find God unless you approach this body”. Indeed directly after making this statement Jesus said “If you knew me you would know my Father too” (John 14:7), indicating that he had come to the realisation that we are all most definitely “One” regardless of race, colour, creed or social status.
Jesus Christ was simply an example of someone who actually lived this Oneness whilst being encased in flesh.
Bodies are many but spirit is One – Sri Sathya Sai Baba
Death is the stripping away of all that is not you. The secret of life is to die before you die and find that there is no death – Eckhart Tolle
The happiness of one’s own heart alone cannot satisfy the soul; one must try to include, as necessary to one’s own happiness, the happiness of others – Paramahansa Yogananda
