Creative people who cherish the gift of life often slip into the secret chambers of the creative mind. Their solutions are well-rounded, more sensible than those of people who rely solely upon reason as their mainstay. Gratitude unseals fountains of creativity, because a grateful person is relaxed. This allows him to take stock of his circumstances with an objective mind. A creative person often gets three-dimensional answers to his problems.
The principles of the spiritual life are embodied in everything that we do. If we think they are not there, it is simply because we cant see them or recognize them.
Once the Holy Spirit grants us Its blessings, how often do we remember to acknowledge them? Acknowledgment is done through gratitude, which keeps our hearts open to love.
Sometimes its important to just stop and be grateful for the blessings that you already have.
God loves Soul rich or poor. God does not necessarily love the poor more. God loves Soul. We can enjoy the things of this life and support our family with material goods with no feelings of guilt.
We are Soul. This life is an opportunity for Soul to get rich experiences in any way that It canuplifting, constructive experiences, the kind where we find ways to serve all of life.
You find you get a great deal of love and interest from just looking after the well-being of those Souls who are looking to you for some of their spiritual food.
As we raise ourselves in the spiritual consciousness, we are better able to solve the problems of life. We are happy. We are at home in every environment.
A healing can happen instantly. Or it may happen in other ways, such as when an individual comes in contact with another person who says, "Hey, here is something which may help you." Its still up to the individual to open his consciousness and accept the different way of doing things.
The marriage bond can only be sacred if it is sacred to the two individuals who have agreed to this union. If they are one in heart, how can they be divided?
A true marriage has commitment by each person. Both realize the responsibility of that commitment. A marriage of the heart lets each of the couple remain an individual, but the two are as one.
