The Currents of Life

 

What appears on the surface does not show the depths beneath. 

 

What appears on the surface does not show the depths beneath. In other words, we often show the light side of life and people little dream of the talents, the ideas, the life under the surface life.  

There are currents there just as there are in the seas, tendencies of life that pull us or sway us in one direction or another. Often we do not realize how many times the surface life is affected by these currents of life and we only know that we feel that certain things must and should be done.  

Life is pretty much as we make it and, make no mistake, we fashion it for good or ill by our thoughts for life is mental and few there are who realize that this is so. 

We must strive for greater light, which means higher consciousness in life, so that we can have greater opportunity to overcome that which is negative.

Life is a constant mental trial and we are ever on the alert for that which pulls down or gives us negative thought conditions, the dark side of life. We see its evidence all about us and it takes great strength of mind and purpose to overcome these tendencies that are at work both within and without.  

Life is struggle and change, but if we keep our outlook bright we will come through into a greater light and reach greater heights.

Opportunity

This plane of life is one of opportunity  ...  to give and to receive love, the greatest gift of all. 

 

This plane of life is one of opportunity to gain a greater outlook, to help others on their way, and to give and to receive love, the greatest gift of all. 

Nothing counts without love and those who have it are rich while those who neglect their loves through selfish interests or other, to them, seemingly more important things are, in truth, poor in spirit.   

Love is what we can take with us, what enriches our life, and gives us the incentive to do and to create. So many fail to see the real issues at stake and strive for material gain, material wealth, success, et cetera. How misguided.  

Our thoughts are things of force and power and are able to work near miracles for us if powered by the force of love.

Never Give In

We must never give in to any form of negativeness, but always keep trying and our problems will be worked out. 

 

There are in life many subtle influences that work on us at all times, making sometimes for indecision, weakness, futility, and their opposites too, strength, power and positiveness in all forms.

There are times when, as we say, the tide is out and nothing seems to go aright, while at other times it may be flood tide and all seems to break for us in all we attempt to do.  

Should we then adhere only to these specific times to do what we feel is what needs to be done, or wait until we feel the tides with us? No, our own mind will often prevail and throw off the adverse powers if we are strong enough in our desires to make the will work for us in spite of obstacles put in our path.  

We must never give in to any form of negativeness, but always keep trying and our problems will be worked out. It may be at times more difficult than at another time, nevertheless we should not let that or anything else deter us from our objective. 

We should be masters of self and that is what all are working towards no matter what he or she may think to the contrary.   

We can and we must keep going no matter what happens so that we can win the battle over self and triumph over adversity, using it only as a stepping stone to our goal. We have much to gain and nothing to lose by this attitude so keep going, lift up your eyes unto the stars and know that you can win.

Think Correctly

Think correctly and you will automatically act correctly.

 

All who now manifest on this earth plane of expression in life have lived before and, of course, since there is no death, have always lived for all was, is and ever shall be.

We are not put here to live lives of idleness and luxury, but to grow spiritually and to become more aware of the possibilities of life. We must, in spite of obstacles that are ever present, push on in life growing and ever trying to vibrate on a higher plane of expression.

Earth life is likened to a kindergarten as to the other planes of expression. As we become more enlightened we become aware that this must be so. All are even now on differing planes of thought mentally and that, after all, is the way we truly live for it is only in the mental that we can express in the physical plane of life.   

We think, therefore we are. First thought, then action and, of course, reaction for each action too is creative and brings other actions into being. 

Like the stone thrown into the pool, the circles ever widen and go on and on expressing -- an example to us of what we start in the world of thought and action.

Think correctly and you will automatically act correctly. 

Expect the Best

We get what we expect, so only expect the best and at the same time work too toward that goal.

 

As a man thinketh in his heart so is he and it cannot be otherwise for, in truth, this is a mental world. All now in manifestation has come from thought -- someone’s thought. We think therefore we are. And so we go on in the life always expressing our thoughts, and although we think that they are ours alone and not seen or expressed, they are always influencing us and those who come in contact with us.

What we constantly hold in thought eventually is expressed in the life in some manner. Therefore we must weed out all negative thoughts whenever they enter the mind, keeping only to the positive thoughts whether we can feel them at the time or not. Eventually we will feel the thought if it is constantly held in the mind.  

Now this is no easy task we know, but the result is so much to be desired, so wonderful for us, it fairly staggers the imagination at the accomplishments possible if we hold to this truth.  

We are all gifted in some way and practice makes perfect. Our desires will become manifest if they are held to and all negation eliminated. 

We get what we expect, so only expect the best and at the same time work too toward that goal. With this combination you cannot lose.

Spring

When there is Spring in the heart there is youth, regardless of years lived.

 

When there is Spring in the heart there is youth, regardless of years lived.

We all on the earth plane add years, and physically our tissues become less elastic; less resilient with the years, but when we keep within an interest in life about us, keep busy with things that we like to do and continue to use love in our dealings with those about us, then indeed we are still in the Springtime of life no matter what our calendar age.

Our minds rule us, although most people do not realize this and blame their shortcomings on circumstances beyond their control, or even on people with whom they live or contact in other ways. But, in truth, we are the sum total of our thought and ours alone. 

It is our responsibility to make ourselves strong, courageous, truth-loving, happy, free and loving, and in doing so we enrich our life and keep our youth. Also, we must keep enthusiastic about life and the wonderful possibilities ever surrounding us. 

We have just as much chance for happiness as we do for its opposite and, with gratitude in our hearts for life’s golden chances, we should go on until the last knowing we are our destiny.

Messages

 

 We are always, every day, receiving messages from the world of Spirit, or world of causation.

 

We are always, every day, receiving messages from the world of Spirit, or world of causation. Many go unrecognized as such, but still they are sent in the hope that some will be able to get through and the person involved will have the message needed. 

Often they are in the form of impressions, or hunches and so are acted upon as though they originated in the mind of the individual who received them. Sometimes, of course, this is true, but more often than not sudden flashes of inspiration or impressions to say or do something special or even of ordinary consequence originate with the Spirit loved ones, friends or guardians who see more clearly than we, at times, what is necessary to say or do.  

This in no way makes us puppets of those in Spirit for always their guidance is helpful unless the person, through the law of attraction, has the wrong spirit influences. But this cannot happen when our thought is good, our ideals are high and we open the channel for spirit direction to come in to guide and help. In this case it is a blessing and one that is enviable for not all are at a point where this can be accomplished, much as Spirit desires to help.   

We should keep the channel as clear as we can and weigh carefully all our words and deeds that we may follow only the good. 

Master Plan

 

 

 There are no accidental successes or failures in life. It is all as we ourselves decree and must be worked out by the self within.

 

There is a master plan for each and every one of us and we are even now unfolding and working for this plan and towards a wonderful goal.  

We are, of course, masters of our own destiny and receive from the laws of being our rewards and our punishments through this law of cause and effect. Many do not see that this is so and feel that justice is not done, but in every case it is, although it may not be detected by us on the earth plane of existence.

We are constantly receiving and constantly causing others to receive through our efforts. In many cases, of course, the reverse is true. Many are losing out in the battle of life simply because of past injustice that they have meted out to others.  

You see it is all taken care of and we cannot really judge another because we do not see the whole picture. Therefore we cannot know all the causes of his or her seeming failures or difficulties in the life. 

Many suffer because of the injustice of others, but eventually their good will come to them if they are deserving of it. Many, you know, will only learn through their troubles. In good times they feel it is only their just due and fail to give gratitude for their worldly goods and their gifts of talent or whatever they have developed. They themselves are responsible for both their troubles and their good although it is often very hard to see that this is so. 

There are no accidental successes or failures in life. It is all as we ourselves decree and must be worked out by the self within.

There are also times when seemingly all we do is right and brings to us all we could desire in life. This is because we have earned this or it would not be. 

Everything works well for those who work in the light and keep themselves in the light of God and prepare to work out their lives with this as their goal in life.

Brotherhood

Help and be helped by those you contact.

 

The Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man is a fact but is little thought of in the way that it should be thought of and used as a model for all. We cannot become separated from God for it is in God we live, move and have our being, and in recognizing this fact there is strength and there is power. 

To be a true brother or sister to those around us is also possible, but seldom is it found to be followed. We alone are responsible for our destiny and to go through life blinded by self is ignorant in the extreme.  

We can and we should extend the helping hand to our fellow man who is traveling the same road but may be carrying a heavier load.

Help and be helped by those you contact. 

Clear Thoughts

We are now manifesting exactly what we are, what we have become as the sum total of our thought life. 

 

Are we functioning perfectly in every department of being as God has intended us to? If not, then we must try to put ourselves in the right state of mind, the correct thought not only about ourselves but about those near us.   

Often it is because perhaps we cling to thoughts of resentment, envy, jealousy, fear, insecurity or other thoughts of a negative nature that prevent us from manifesting more perfectly. 

We are now manifesting exactly what we are, what we have become as the sum total of our thought life. 

If lack is shown in the life, we have in some way neglected to have the thought of plenty and have shown fear and insecurity instead of courage and expectant good.

If love is lacking in the life, we have neglected to show love ourselves; we have been selfish, niggardly in regard to others, and so we are constantly manifesting that which we are and have become through our own efforts. 

No one can think for us, no one can help us if we refuse to help ourselves. Often we are our own worst enemies though we put the blame wholly on others, never once suspecting the true source of our troubles. 

Think, feel and act as though you were king and queen of all the material universe, which indeed you are. Think and it is so.
