Loneliness

The cure?  Briefly it is this -- greater faith in God, in self and in others.

 

On the earth plane of life’s experiences there are many who are lonely -- lonely even in the presence of others or when they seemingly have much. It is truly almost a disease this loneliness and is more widespread than is commonly supposed.

We in the light, who see things and people as they really are find this factor hard to combat for it is often deep-seated and hard to eradicate. Habits are a long time in forming and these make the task even harder.   

Many a soul who is apparently gregarious and at least outwardly friendly, we find in his innermost thoughts there are many fears, for that primarily constitutes loneliness; it all stems from fear thoughts. Fear of being alone, fear of the future, fear of death, fear of lack of courage and many others too numerous for this space, and all causing distress to the person who is affected by these long-held fear thoughts.  

The cure?  Briefly it is this -- greater faith in God, in self and in others. Lack of faith is a primary cause of this malady. We suggest to the afflicted to keep affirming faith, confidence in all and to know that all is good and all will be well.

The Power of Thought

Thought is indeed a force and is felt by others so that our own thought is all important ...

 

There are always those who will impose their will on you if you are not on a positive plane of vibration. When one becomes positive and knows, not just feels on a vibration of power, but has true knowledge that this is so, then he can overcome another’s vibration by his own power of thought. Thought is indeed a force and is felt by others so that our own thought is all important and can be felt by others in our auric vibratory rate.

Each one in his auric field has his thoughts registered and if they are merely negative forces then the other person, of course, has the advantage; the power and the trend of thought is always in his favor. Watch then the thoughts we hold in our daily life about ourselves and our conditions and about others so that our influence may be felt for good and be all-powerful and full of positive force not negative doubt and incapacity.  

We are indeed what we think, it becomes our world and we are king or queen of that kingdom of thought holding sway or letting the thoughts rule. We are the ones to choose and if we choose correctly we are in command of any and all situations.

Unfoldment

Life is what we make it and decree for ourselves.

 

All unfoldment comes from within. A developed intuition -- hunches, inspiration, ideas, imagination or whatever it is called, is all a matter of soul growth.  

Everyone is capable of it, true, but all are on different rungs of the ladder, so to speak, as all are not vibrating on a high plane of thought. Unless one is vibrating on a high plane of thought, one is not receiving the highest and best from Spirit through his own forces, and not necessarily able to receive them unless receptive.  

 Many receive because their thoughts are on a good vibratory force, but do not realize that they are tuned in to Spirit when they are in a thoughtful meditative period. They simply know that their minds function best this way, not realizing their own great potential.

On the other hand, the higher Spiritual forces cannot penetrate the lower, more material and heavy vibrations of negative thought and consequent errors, therefore the persons so minded are completely unaware of the higher forces of life and cannot unfold until they themselves raise their vibrations by ridding themselves of these low forces of life.

Life is what we make it and decree for ourselves. God is not mocked, justice is always being meted out, and we grow and unfold or continue to dwell in error until we finally, in desperation perhaps, desire to be rid of the low conditions of life.

Negative Dynamite

When people learn to use a mental trash barrel and constantly guard their thoughts, then they will no longer manifest disease and troubles.

 

When people hold thoughts that originate with envy, jealousy, hatred, revenge and other negative emotions behind them, they are playing with dynamite. These very dark, negative emotions take over the mind and play havoc with the physical bodies of those who harbor these thoughts. 

There is a little-known law that is always in operation that makes punishment immediate for these thoughts and subsequent actions, whether we are aware of it or not. At first it perhaps is too subtle to notice, but after holding these negative forces in the mind over a long period of time, they manifest in the physical as disease, or as illness and that is the true cause of disease. It does indeed originate in the mind.  

People may also harbor fear thoughts and they too, being negative, bring about their particular manifestations of nervousness and diseases of the nervous system.  

When people realize they themselves bring on their own ills and alone are responsible for their destiny, then they will destroy these thought forms when they first come into the mind and quickly substitute some good positive love thoughts that generate health and wellbeing for the personality. 

When people learn to use a mental trash barrel and constantly guard their thoughts, then they will no longer manifest disease and troubles.

Peace for Mankind

People do not ... grasp the fact that they alone are responsible for their fate, that they are the only ones who can bring about a just and lasting peace ...  instead of the profits of war.

 

Peace is one of the most important elements in the world today and one that all mankind should seek and truly are seeking. The reason it is not in evidence many places in the world is also quite apparent. It is due to the greed, selfishness, self-centeredness and kindred emotions held by the people of the world; yes, held onto in spite of all the knowledge that it is the salvation of the world.

People do not and will not grasp the fact that they alone are responsible for their fate, that they are the only ones who can bring about a just and lasting peace if they truly and unselfishly desire it instead of the profits of war. 

It is a deplorable fact that men can and do profit from the agony of others who become involved in war because of the greed and power desired by the men who are empowered to run some of the countries of the world.

Peace commences first in the minds and hearts of all mankind, and we must become more tolerant, more kindly towards those who have less of the world’s goods, who are perhaps also of another race or creed and who do not think or act as we do for their backgrounds differ tremendously.  

Can we not then overcome these negative conditions and through our better selves learn and negotiate with those who so desperately need assistance?  All must do so eventually, but suffering will come unless they [the greedy, the selfish] change their ways.

The Light of Wisdom

If man were imbued with more love of fellow travelers on the road of life, regardless of race, color or creed and freed from the slavery of self-enrichment, this world would be rid of war and all threats of war.

 

Many on this earth plane of life need the light of wisdom desperately and know it not. Some in high places in the government and in the influential places of life need it even more than the so-called masses. 

If man were imbued with more love of fellow travelers on the road of life, regardless of race, color or creed and freed from the slavery of self-enrichment, this world would be rid of war and all threats of war. It is only where darkness exists in the mind of man that allows these terrible ideas to be a threat to mankind.  

We are all children of God, all on varied rungs of the ladder of evolvement and all traveling the path of greater enlightenment. To help one another along the way is one of the great privileges of this earth’s pathway to light, or wisdom. 

But many wrap themselves in the cocoon of ignorance and prejudice, feeling they are superior so they will have to go on in the life in error until such a time as they awaken to the fact that all is life, the same life, and all is of God and all going ever onward to greater light in the world. Many will not step out of their own little ruts of wrong thinking until some great catastrophe forces them to do so.  

We must expand our thoughts to encompass the greater good of all, not just the privileged few.

Age

 

Age is not a matter of years but of a mental attitude.  

 

It is natural, of course, as time elapses on the plane of existence known as earth that the body gradually diminishes in strength and power, but the mind is, or should be, always in control. 

If the life has been a happy and a contented one without undue strife and care, we can go on with strength and vigor of mind that so transmits itself to the body that age is no detriment. 

On the other hand, when we allow the thoughts of worry and stress to become uppermost and we constantly allow our feelings to become as old as our years, then we do indeed grow old. 

Some are old though their years are young for their mind has become one with the feeling of age and the cares and worries of life.

We cannot change the laws of life, but we can change our thoughts and feelings if we work at it correctly and our desire is strong to keep youthful and have our full measure of happiness.

Keep the laws of correct living. Eat only the energy foods and get plenty of rest. Keep occupied with interesting work and play. Keep always love as the paramount fundamental of life and you will indeed keep young.

Needed Limits

Here, on this plane, we cannot ever fully understand even ourselves and it is better so for the soul growth.

 

To be understood is often greatly desired by those on the earth plane of life, but, in truth, no one really can be wholly understood except by himself, and many times he also deceives himself.

If we were truly understood and our motives and desires were revealed for all to see and know, we might be even more disliked than perhaps we feel we are at the present time.  

It is better that we are not understood entirely on this plane of life. Utter chaos might be the result when we could see revealed the envy, the jealousy, the pride, the hatred, the ruthless ambition to succeed at all costs and the desire to overpower and to suppress that which others may have obtained.  No, it would not do, and we would feel it is a hopeless cause to try to change all the low, evil emotions that people on this plane of life are expressing.  

In some rare cases people outgrow these lower feelings. In this way we evolve to a better and higher understanding of life and its motives and of the people with whom we live and contact in many ways.   

Here, on this plane, we cannot ever fully understand even ourselves and it is better so for the soul growth.

Friendship

Friends, true friends, are rare and if we are fortunate in having even one, we can count ourselves rich indeed.

 

Friendship, in its true meaning, is a form of love. Not love of self and all that implies, but love for the friend regardless of what comes. To be a friend is to be willing to do what, within reason, friendship requires -- to forgive faults, to overlook slights and to help when there is need for assistance on life’s path. 

We all need friends, but there are many kinds of friends. There are the friends who are always there when needed and, regardless of self, will do all they can to help you. 

Then there are the fair-weather friends who, when it is to their advantage, will do all they can for you, but if things do not go according to the way that they would wish, become bitter, resentful and oftentimes jealous of the good fortune of their friends.  

These people are selfish and not worthy of the name friend. It is wise to write them off and let them go their own way for they have much to learn and they do not change until life’s bitter lessons have been assimilated in another lifetime. 

Friends, true friends, are rare and if we are fortunate in having even one, we can count ourselves rich indeed. Then too we must be a true friend ourselves; understanding, loving, kind and thoughtful and in every way blessing the friend we have found.
