What if Heaven was a place...
What if Heaven was a place your mind goes when your body fails (or dies)? The mind’s energy would live on, continuing to produce joyful experiences based on your memory. The positive mood enhancing chemicals would take over and create absolute euphoria. It would not be like a drug-like induced state or a dream. Rather, it would be an actual experience for the soul and spirit in every way with all senses involved. All of the people, things, places, feelings, and moments that gave you joy were reinstated as your eternal experience --- incorporated to create new experiences just as pleasant as the initial.
Concentrate on this. Imagine what your Heaven would be like and write it out like a short story. List the people, places, and things you want to have there. Think about your idea of a perfect day and all it would include. This could be your Heaven. It could be your Heaven on Earth. Because when you focus on so much positively, you’re going to create a better experience for yourself. The positive energy you use to create a better world can carry-on.
Imagine. Focus. Be.
A Heaven of Our Own Making
Death is unfortunate. And we all want to believe in
something greater and better beyond this life. We spend our lives constructing
our heaven or hell; in this life and for whatever comes next. It often seems as
though the old are ready or even willing to go. For they know they have
exhausted all their energy, dreams, and ability to manifest any more. Those who
live long lives have more time to create their heaven and rectify the hell they
may have once created. Do not fear for the short lived; for children are always
exhausting all resources to make heaven.
God and Nature
"If God could become man, then he could also become
stone, plant, animal, and element and perhaps in this way there is redemption
in Nature" ~ Novalis
The 12 Laws of the Universe
1. Law of Divine Oneness: The Law of
Divine Oneness explains how we are all connected in some way. Everything we do,
say or think is connected and effects all others and this vast universe we live
in.
2. The Law of Vibration: The Law of
Vibration is all about how everything in this universe vibrates or moves. It
also explains how each thing, sound, thought, emotion and words all have their
very own vibration or frequency in which it lives.
3. The Law of Action: The Law of Action
states that we must move in the direction of our dreams in order to achieve
them. We must engage in some action that supports what we think about and or
dream about.
4. The Law Of Correspondence: The Law of
Correspondence states “as above, so below” or in other words, everything has its
own corresponding counterpart.
5. The Law Of Cause And Effect: This
Universal Law I’m sure you’ve heard of. Maybe you know it by another name. You
know: every action has an equal or opposite reaction. Yep, that’s this law in a
nutshell.
6. The Law Of Compensation: The Law of
Compensation is really the Law of Cause and Effect as it relates to how we are
provided with blessings based on our deeds and daily actions. You’ve heard what
comes around goes around; well here it is, as a Law of Nature.
7. The Law Of Attraction: The Law of
Attraction is certainly the most talked about spiritual law but, it is not the
only spiritual law as you can see on this page. This Universal Law is all about
how we create the things and events in our lives with the energies we create
with our thoughts, words, actions, and feelings.
8. The Law of Transmutation Of Energy:
This Universal Law demonstrates how all people have the ability and the power
to change their current situations in life. You can do this by changing the
energies that you are putting out into the world, by following and
understanding these universal laws of attraction.
9. The Law of Relativity: The Law of
Relativity states that all things are relative. We are all given our own
roadblocks, our own personal challenges we must face in order to grow as
individuals and by comparing yours to other peoples circumstances is a waste,
because there situations are different, yet, relative.
10. The Law of Polarity: This law states
that just like a magnet that has opposite polarities so does everything else in
nature. Everything has an equal opposite such as good and evil or yes and no.
11. The Law of Rhythm: The Law of Rhythm
explains how everything in the universe has its own rhythm. These rhythms are
important to our very existence. These rhythms are what create the seasons.
This rhythm is what the cycle of life is all about. All cycles have parts to
them that we favor less and it is in how we deal with these things that are
important.
12. The Law of Gender: This law simply
states that there is both a feminine and a masculine principle to all things in
nature. It is up to us to open ourselves up to these gender principals to
create balance in our lives. Imagine this law as the law of yin and yang.
Prayer and The One Unanswered
When I was a child I would pray. I would kneel at the foot of my bed and put my hands together pointing up. I would close my eyes, concentrate, and often press my face against my hands (nose to thumbs). My prayer always ended with
“… keep my soul free
from sin. Keep those that I love free from sin. And take my soul to heaven when
I die.”
When I was a teenager I prayed to be brave. I prayed for
confidence. I prayed to ignore my haters and for them to not harm me. I prayed
the bullies would leave me alone. I prayed for skills to defend myself. I prayed
for God to change me; to not be different.
I was brave even though I didn’t think so at the time.
Confidence came and so did defensiveness. But I was to be different. That was
my calling and it still is. I was not chosen to be a light on the strand that
decorates, but rather a single candle flickering in the window directing
attention.
Attention is power.
Attention is power.
My beliefs have changed over the decades. I choose personal affirmations
over prayer. I even wrote a customized mantra:
I believe in me and all that I do
I believe in goodness and that of
everyone
(I believe that I will be well received)
I believe in the universe and
that it is ours for the making
There is power in prayer.
Terms have changed, understandings have evolved, and
explanations have become vaguer. But it really is all the same. I have never stopped
talking to “God”.
Spirituality and the Search
"...humans seem to share a universal need to connect with something larger than themselves. It seems each individual religion was created by one group of people as their way to explain the universal human need for connection."
