The Cosmic Romance

How are we going to cultivate Godhead love when the human race as a whole have lost the existent definition of the word? Man have so abused the significance of love that so few cognize what existent love is. True love permeates our whole creative activity the same manner oil is within every atom of the olive. It is not easy to define love, as it is impossible to completely depict in words the spirit of an orange. With love you have got to enjoy its fruit to cognize and savor its flavor. Most of us have got tasted love in one word form or another in our hearts; that is how we cognize a small about its meaning. But most of us have got not learned how to develop, purify and enlarge our human love into Godhead love. Man, not able to cultivate love have got lost the original flicker that existed in all Black Maria from the beginning of life.

Many people acknowledge that the feeling or the attractive force they have for their friends and relations is love and believe it unneeded to analyse what love really is. There is so much more than to love than just that. The lone existent manner to explicate what true love is to you is depict its effect. You could not incorporate yourself it is so overpowering....so great would be your felicity and joyousness if you could experience just a bantam atom of existent Godhead love. The fulfilment of love is never in the feeling itself but the felicity and joyousness that feeling gives to you. Those who believe love is the ultimate intoxicant happiness, make not cognize the true ultimate is bliss, ever-conscious, ever-existing, ever-new bliss. Just as love is native to the soul, it is still secondary to joyousness for there is no love without joy. That is why the existent experience of love is always together with joy. Sometimes joyousness gets without any stuff cause as it is not subject to outer conditions. It sometimes looks absent of any stuff cause. You may leap out of bed 1 morning time feeling "lighter than air" full of joyousness and make not cognize why.

However there are outer statuses that tin cause joyousness to show itself from within; like receiving a big sum of money of money and cheering out "I'm so happy!" this status of receiving all this money have simply assisted in releasing a flowing of cascading joyousness from within the concealed pool of ever new bliss. In individual experiences there are peculiar events that are generally necessary to convey joy.

The cosmopolitan nature of love is the Godhead powerfulness of attractive force and have many faces. There is fatherly love which is based on reason, while motherly love is unconditional and is based on feeling, there is love between the retainer and his maestro which is based entirely on common benefit; there is friendly human relationship which is the expansive relationship of human love that is pure and without compulsion, then there is God's love which is the peak love and is the perfect love between the psyche and spirit. There is conjugal love which is idealistic and a great look of human love where a adult male go forths his father and female parent and cleaves to his wife. However connubial love is very tricky, and the bulk of people will go forth this Earth with small satisfaction in their hearts. They have got sought after stuff love in the incorrect way.

Beware the whip of a beautiful face. Those who are mostly attracted by a good-looking faces and visual aspects which happens their soul-mates inch the cemetery of gorgeous and wonderfully decked-out forms, unaware that a Satan or devil may be home within. Souls of ignorance that dwell gorgeous organic structures are graves of flesh that screen up horrid skeletons. To dwell and be like that is the same as being dead. Therefore the most of import makings there is for a perfect matrimony is that if neither 1 is Negro Negro Negro spiritual nor you happen a spiritual adult male or a spiritual woman... you should not acquire married; you will not be loved. Every female parent and every father should learn this to their children.

Fear not, there is a concealed supplication avowal for those who pray, given by the Negro spiritual Masters and the great one's which is the promise to forestall you from making a error in choosing your true life comrade or soul-mate. These supplications make have got some prerequisites. They must be practiced for a lower limit of six calendar months with concentrated religion and have got effected a dear attunement with the Heavenly Father during your supplications and meditation. By continuously affirming this supplication desire, you will be blessed and get married an appropriate mate; but if you were attracted to one who is basically incompatible and mismatched the Heavenly Father will forestall you from making an wrong pick by changing the circumstances. This supplication petition should be done at the end of your speculation and with deep attention; affirm "Divine Father, according to Thy perfect law of psyche labor union bestow on me your approvals that I pull and take my perfect life mate."

However there is an interior solitariness a hubby or a married woman can never fill. You can be totally in love with your hubby or married woman but may be feeling up to here with human love yet that love cannot range what Supreme Being have made for himself alone. Supreme Being have made his creative activity full proof...without Him you will never cognize love. The less love you have got the lonelier you feel. The deficiency of love is the deficiency of God. Because your psyche have forgotten its human relationship with Supreme Being through infinite incarnations.

There was a very heated up statement between two disciples, so they went to their guru don (spiritual master) for council to settle down the statement and to make up one's mind who was right. To their surprise his reply to them was to "love Supreme Being more" and that was his advice to many others who had grudges with each other. They pondered, "how makes that work out our disagreements?" Loving Supreme Being more alterations everything because the 1 thing that Supreme Being is yearning for and makes not possess in His blissful being in heavenly Eden is our love and our attention.

God have imposed the indistinguishable trouble on himself as on his children. He have given adult male free volition to reject him or seek him. Supreme Being is pursuing every heart, watching and waiting for His children to reject His creative activity and move towards Him and those who move towards Him will pull the One that gives all.

There have got been so many studies of close decease experiences where these studies were all establish to be similar or identical. Those with close decease experiences who died and came back said they were asked who have got you loved? It is so easy to love your contiguous family, isn't it? What about everyone else? Remember it is Supreme Being who dwells in the carnal temple of the righteous, the error-stricken and your dear ones.

There are those who experience a waterlessness in their Black Maria and make not cognize how to love Supreme Being while some have got got a deficiency of religion and have no thought on how to be devotional. When they speak about Supreme Being they believe of Him as a venerable Being in some distant Heaven sitting on a throne. They believe to themselves, " I make not cognize God, so how can I experience love for an unknown region God." Bash not presume that Supreme Being is enjoying himself in his celestial being in selfish joy. Supreme Being is definitely agony the letdown of man's denial of Him because it is He who have caused this separation and unless we travel to Him willingly He is not able to put us free from suffering or Himself in his celestial Paradise.

A pupil asked the guru, Paramahansa Yogananda "what would you and the great one's state us to make in our speculations to cultivate love for Supreme Being and spread out our love for all sentient beings?"

The guru replied, "here is the technique, it is called practicing the presence of God." Stopping Point your eyes and gently turn them upwards at the point between the superciliums and lock them there without straining. Put your complete attending on the bosom center, conceive of and experience the strongest and top love that you ever felt for another human being. Saturate every cell of your organic structure with that love. While that love is encompassing and saturating all of your carnal cells, spread out the feeling of that love as a encompassing domain embracing all your loved ones, your friends and family. Now conceive of your love ever growing and magnified a thousand modern times and include all the people in the state you dwell in, the state and the Earth saturated with that love. Feel the whole world, your solar system, existence and galaxies bathing in this tremendous beaming Earth of love. Unify yourself in that domain of love which saturates the infinitude.

It is of import to cognize in the beginning of this visual image that the love you experience in your bosom is human love. But once that love spreads out encircling all things it goes the cosmopolitan love of God. Many of you light a small fire of longing for Supreme Being but neglect to set combustible in the fire, and it deceases out. The fire of love and yearning must be lit over and over with every twenty-four hours pattern of self-discipline and meditation.

The love that most people experience for their beloved friends and household is human love. It is Supreme Being who gives us all those we love; no human love should be bigger than love for God. The loveable natures in our relations were wisely selected for us as blood brothers and ses with loving parents, so how much greater should our love be for God? Remember it is Supreme Being that is our continual Parent who through many embodiments of the present, past and future modern times takes attention of us as the instrument of limitless household dealings and parents.

People that love and adore familial dealings while being neglectful of Supreme Being residing within those relations will have got a sad awakening when decease offprints their household ties.
Contemplate, if person deceases and is born-again as a neighbour to his anterior home, his former darling household would see and handle him as a alien who moved in adjacent door. These are the cryptic works of reincarnation. Read the article "Beware The Whip Of A Beautiful Face."

The Gift of Death

About 10 calendar months ago, I was told by my physician in Capital Of Thailand that I had three different types of cancer, a tumour in the brain, one in my left lung and tegument malignant neoplastic disease on my human face and other parts of my body. At the same time, my married woman was planning to go back to United States to take attention of her female parent who was dying from cancer. Talk about your "three-strikes-and-you're-out" rule! I told the physician that I did not desire to hear any more. I did not desire to cognize the prognosis, what were option treatments nor how much clip he thought I had left. I told him I needed to take a walking and make some thinking. I never went back nor have got I ever looked back. I went to a beautiful nearby parkland and walked, prayed, meditated and did some serious thinking.

I had to do some important decisions. The first determination I made was not to state my wife. Whereas I knew this would make a state of affairs that would be highly problematic future on, the first precedence was to acquire her place to her indisposed female parent who did not have got much clip left. I did not desire to put her in a place in which she was forced to take between being with me and her mother. She had been detached from her household for 10 years. Her female parent and father needed her more than than I. Arsenic things turned out, she did acquire place and was able to take attention of her Ma until she died. She is still there now taking attention of her father, who also have cancer. Regardless of the possible repercussions, I experience I made the best pick for her, given the options. True love always put the individual we love as the figure 1 priority.

Thus began a personal journeying that have been most interesting and rewarding. I was forced to discontinue working and our fiscal state of affairs deteriorated rapidly. I began having terror and anxiousness onslaughts and flashbacks. I couldn't eat or sleep. I was lonely, afraid and became totally isolated. I lost touching with all my friends. I rarely ventured out of my bedroom. I could not pay my rent nor did I have got enough money for groceries. I was on my manner out. I packed my back pack and set it by my door, determined that I would pick it up when the clip was right and caput off into the mounts to decease alone, just as my ancestors, Native Americans, had done in the past. I had accepted decease but hadn't yet learned how to encompass it. That was a lesson yet to come.

One night, I received a totally unexpected phone call from a friend life in Phuket. He told me his Tai married woman had "seen" me in a dreaming and knew I was in trouble, urging him to name me immediately. I told him I was all right and that I had made the determination to head for the mountains. I thanked him for the old age we had been together as friends and workmates and wished him well. Then I hung up.
Two years later, he showed up on my doorstep, arranged to hive away most of our property with a friend of his and told me he was bringing me to Phuket and would take attention of me as long as necessary. I was in no place to argue, I must admit. We flew to Phuket the followers eventide and I was introduced to my current surroundings, a nice 8X12 ft room where I now reside. I have got a great position of the mountains, sundowns and dawns and it is quiet, clean and comfortable. I pass a great trade of clip in meditation, supplication and thinking. I am so thankful for my friends' generousness and love.

At first, I was preparing myself to die. It is not the first clip I have got faced death, but it was the first clip I had clip to believe about it. The other incidents that decease and I were engaged were the consequences of armed combat or sudden accidents. One day, not long after my reaching here, I realized I was taking an entirely incorrect approach, accounting for my uncomfortableness with reality. It came to me during a speculation and would change my life forever. I was focusing of dying while I should be focusing on living.

I thought of Henry Martin Robert Frost's phrase, "Miles to travel before I sleep," and experienced an contiguous transmutation in my thinking, therefore my life. I believe most of us, aware of approaching death, have got a inclination to look to the past in order to analyze our legacy. While I may not always have got made the perfect determinations in my past, I am comfy that I made the best I could, considering my options and ability at the time. Our bequest is not words etched in stone, but our actions and is establish in the hearts, heads and liquor of those we have got touched along the journey. I am comfy with what I have got accomplished in that regard, having dedicated my life to helping others. As for the future? It stays unknown but whose hereafter ever really is? And is it all that important? No. The lone thing that is of import is what we make with the here and now.

Are we making the most of each and every moment? Each breath? Each thought? That is what life is all about. That realisation helped me grip the existent significance of life and recover a sense of intent and passionateness that had abated over the former few months. I felt re-energized and filled with an expanded awareness, gratitude, joyousness and love, not to advert renewed intent and passion. My life isn't over. It is just beginning.

I stopped viewing my status as a curse word and began perceiving it as a gift. By embracing death, I had learned how to live, not just survive. By embracing and accepting death, I was free to dwell to my fullest potential. I stopped worrying about malignant neoplastic disease and welcomed it, even to the point of now referring to it as "my gift." It maintains me focused on the here and now. As soon as I changed my thinking, my life also changed.

During day-to-day meditation, I direct my disease love, rather than fighting it. As a result, I have got gotten stronger. The terror and anxiousness onslaughts no longer assail me. The incubuses and flashbacks of warfare ceased. I have got got arrived at one of the most big determinations I have ever made.

I love Thailand. I left United States 10 old age ago by pick and have got enjoyed life here very much. I never intended to go back "home" again. Kingdom Of Thailand have go my home. However, it is clip to leave. For one thing, I desire and demand to be with my married woman again. We have got been apart too long. We did not put 38 old age into our matrimony in order to dwell apart and alone during our future years. She cannot leave of absence her father so it is clip for me to travel to her and share the duty of taking attention of a fantastic adult male who have always given us so much.

Secondly, there are still many people in the human race who could still profit from the doctrine of Transformational Thinking and there are three people in United States who desire to larn how to learn it to future generations. It is clip to learn them. There is another friend from Republic Of Ghana who is very actively involved in an international attempt to assist larn immature people how to go leadership of tomorrow who also desires to learn how to learn Transformational Thinking and he is currently staying in America. Oddly enough, he wrote me last nighttime telling me he had just received word that his female parent had died in Republic Of Ghana and I spent hours on-line with him helping him work through his grief, hurting and shock. Iodine was glad I was here to assist him.

We waste material far too much clip and energy chasing the replies to the two top enigmas of life: Why are we here and what haps when we die? I have got finally establish the reply to both: It doesn't matter! Living with intent and passionateness in the here and now takes attention of the former question. We can and must each make our ain intent and prosecute it with unbridled passion. As for the second, living life to the fullest and with expanded consciousness do the latter inquiry a disputed one. I simply don't have got the desire or clip to worry about the future.

I will be leaving my darling Kingdom Of Thailand in less than three weeks. Another friend in the United States have generously offered to pay my airplane menu from Phuket to Garrison Lauderdale. What am I going to make when I acquire there? I don't know. I will calculate that out when the clip comes. Right now, I am only focused on the here and now. I am totally free! I am filled with happiness, gratitude and fulfillment. I am ready to get the adjacent leg of what have always been an exciting escapade of find and learning. I am alive! What a fantastic gift I have got been given!
