Einstein said that gravity could be paraphrased as an extreme curvature in the space-time continuum. Or something to that effect. So gravity is not a force, but a bending of space to cause the effect of gravity. We live inside that well. God poked his finger into the mattress of the starry fields and now [...]

Fighting without help
Posted in Flashes, tagged attraction, manifesting, regeneration, spiritual warfare, testing, The Secret on September 15, 2010 | 1 Comment »
The Writings of Swedenborg occasionally mention the mysterious process of being tested. The Latin word is tentatio. Also known as temptation, except that temptation sounds like you gotta resist the urge to eat that chocolate. Being tested, or entering the testing grounds, is something else. Being tested is what truly is meant by waging spiritual [...]
Liking something

I call these blog postings “Insights into life.” Well, I had another one. Where DO they come from…? I was sitting in the living room just now, listening to the Yes album Magnification from my iPod on a portable speaker system. I realized how much I like this music, how much I like the iPod [...]
Truth and good

“I am as God created me, and I am free, whole and complete as I am. I am enough, I have enough, and I do enough. I wake up from the dream of lack. I am drenched in abundance at all times. Every sunrise is proof of my infinite wealth, every breath is a miracle, [...]
Falling down from perception
Posted in Spiritual Reality Center, tagged Laurel, Lord, spiritual growth, spiritual retreat, The Secret on August 9, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Once upon a time the human race “talked to the Lord and to angels” (AC 125). At a spiritual retreat camp, like Laurel, something of this celestial state of affairs is re-instated. Very subtly, but very real. It is said that people once “received perception from the Lord continually” (AC 125). There is an openness [...]
The future is known

“Man’s ignorance of the future is the result of his ignorance of his inner talking.” (Neville – Awakened Imagination) Such an interesting statement. This is taking The Secret to one logical consequence. Inner talking is the inner speech, the voice in the head that goes on continually. Eckhart Tolle calls this the torturer in the [...]

Process and inner change

“Outer reforms are useless if the inner state is not changed.” (Neville – Awakened Imagination) A personal fitness trainer works hard to introduce new outer forms. Jogging, push-ups, etc. And they work as long as they are being enacted. But as long as the inner state of the person is not at the same time [...]
Towards a new life (part 2)
Posted in Flashes, tagged attraction, belief, The Secret on June 18, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Follow-up from part 1. I have been doing the exercise of creating my day in advance for about a month now. I fill one small notebook page right after getting out of bed in the morning. I write down whatever comes to me and word it in the way of positive expectations and certainties of [...]
Towards a new life (part 1)
Posted in Flashes, tagged attraction, belief, The Secret on June 18, 2010 | 1 Comment »
When I wake up in the morning, my pattern is to feel dull, scattered, even stressed to get going. My thoughts are like wild horses. I can’t seem to stop them or direct them. It is only as the day is well underway that some peace creeps in. So… the good thing is that peace [...]
The finger of God

Here’s an image that captures the imagination. The finger of God that writes our fate. Do you remember this poem? “The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it.” (Omar [...]
Trust

“Faith is trusting in the good. Fear is putting your trust in the bad.” (Rhonda Byrne) What is this saying to me? That I often put my trust in the bad. That feeling fear about something is a sign of placing trust in all that is wrong, trusting that it will take care of making [...]
Feeding the wolf

(From: http://soundsprofound.vpweb.co.uk) . A Grandfather from the Cherokee Nation was talking with his grandson.“A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight between two wolves.” The young boy listened intently. “One wolf is evil, unhappy, and ugly: He is anger, envy, war, greed, selfishness. He spreads lies, [...]
No plan
Posted in Flashes, tagged God, providence, suffering, The Secret on May 4, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
God has no plan, but He does have absolute certainty. Do you agree? What about God’s “plan” for the children of Israel to come to the Holy Land? That was a plan, wasn’t it? What about the Lord’s “plan” to be crucified and to then be resurrected? That was a plan, too. Well, for every [...]

“The Lord cannot dwell with a person except in that which is His own, that is, in those things which are from Him; that’s why it was said that the Lord cannot dwell with a person unless he has knowledge of truth and good from the Word, and lives accordingly.” (AE 112.3) This is a [...]
The Lord Is Here Now

“There were three reasons why faith in the Lord healed. The first was that they acknowledged His Divine Omnipotence, and that He was God. The second was, that faith is acknowledgment, and from acknowledgment comes intuition; and all intuition from acknowledgment causes another to be present, which is a common thing in the spiritual world.” [...]
Love of Self

“A person is not life, but is a receiver of life from God.” (TCR 470) I am a receiver of the One life. “No one’s life is ever intrinsically his own. There is only one kind of life – the Lord’s – a life that flows into all people, but is received in varying ways.” [...]
Truth and Conviction

“You have nothing to do but convince yourself of the truth which you desire to see manifest.” (Charles Haanel) There are different kinds of truth. There’s the Divine Truth, which is said to have been the source or cause of creation (John 1:1-3). There’s ordinary, daily truth, the kind I believe in without much trumpet [...]
Filling out the vision (part two)

Continuation of vision sheet #1. Atmosphere: every part of the Spiritual Reality Center is maintained at an atmospheric level. This is not talking about cleanliness and tidiness. There is a sense of containment, inside the buildings as well as outside. The silence is thick in the air. People using the place are aware and sensitive [...]
