Watch your Words

Always remember improvement can only come in a constructive manner, not in fault finding, criticism or tongue lashings. 

 

Watch your words each day that sometimes, when things seem particularly vexing, we do not say things that later could be regretted. All have some inharmony in life to overcome. That is all a part of life so, no matter what the situation or the person involved, try to hold your tongue and develop patience, a very necessary quality to all persons who want to grow in a spiritual way.

We must remember that sometimes the very faults we so condemn in others we may also have in a perhaps lesser degree, therefore they are more noticeable and more objectionable to us. We also must remember that we must judge not by mere appearances, but look over and above them realizing that there is a reason for everything and an answer to every problem.

Sometimes we are thrown into contact with a person whose every act and every vibration seems to bring us annoyance. Remember this is part of life, and the reason this is so is that this particular person needs changing and you also need changing and, in order to grow out of errors of thought, we must constantly overcome and reach out for the love, the peace, the inner strength to combat these errors in the life. 

Perhaps this person needs the very things in life that only you can bring out and maybe you too can only overcome weaknesses by being in contact with a person of such differing thoughts and vibrations. In any event, try to overlook and to hold your tongue unless some constructive or positive thought is put forth. It will be trying, yes, for it is far easier to explode and give vent to pent up feelings, but it is soul strengthening to follow The Golden Rule.  

Always remember improvement can only come in a constructive manner, not in fault finding, criticism or tongue lashings. Give out love and peace and greater things will come into your life as your reward.

Self Belief

Believe, have faith in the self within for you are adequate to all that comes into your life ...

 

The strength, the power, the health-giving thoughts of life are possible for all to have, for all to receive if we but tune in to these positive vibrations. We must first aspire, then we are inspired and life is revealed to us as it never before has been presented. We find our senses are intensified and we respond to outside influences as never before possible.  

Our minds, if so attuned, can act as spiritual antennas attracting to us all the good that we need and desire. Why then do we hold back from such conditions? Only because doubt and fear creep in and possess us when we should and could shut them out of our lives.  

We use what we habitually think, so always remember this truth and act and think according to your best interests and those of others who are in your environment. We shape our own destines daily by our very thoughts and habits of life.

Believe, have faith in the self within for you are adequate to all that comes into your life, and with constructive habits only the good can come.

The Love Force

 

... blessed are those who grow in the light of truth and love for they shall inherit the earth and all the good therein.  

 

Love is the force, the power that in reality controls all. It is this force that causes us to act. I might add too that the lack of love causes all the distress we find on every side and every level throughout life.  

If we love people, we receive love in return. Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule, but these exceptions would be wrapped in such a degree of self-love that their true feelings would be obscured.  

We are all growing in one way or another, and blessed are those who grow in the light of truth and love for they shall inherit the earth and all the good therein.   

This we know as truth -- that all who work with love in their hearts for humanity are the chosen ones of God. They alone are capable of true and real happiness for it is in giving that we receive and in loving that we reap our rewards.  

All the lessons of life are in this one idea of love for all who are working and growing in life to achieve greater life and a truer expression of the God-power within. 

Each in his own way receives and gives of his light of truth.

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. 

Creativity

... all have creative powers and are, in fact, creating their environment.

 

Everyone is creative. Though most people do not ever realize this, all have creative powers and are, in fact, creating their environment. Their ideas are constantly becoming manifest in their life, for thoughts are things, yes, and thoughts have wings.  

Each of us has about us a protective aura created by us, by our thoughts and resultant actions. Some attract and some repulse and cannot understand the reason behind this. Our thoughts may not show themselves to others in this material universe, but they are nonetheless felt and each can tell whether he or she is liked or disliked by others. We too know our feelings about those whom we contact.

Often we cannot tell just the reason we seem to dislike a person, but back of it all is the dominant thought that quite evidently is not the way we think and therefore we are repulsed by, or at least are indifferent to, the person. 

We can all improve our own aura by holding positive thoughts of love and kindness. Thereby we grow and evolve into a kinder and more mature personality, ridding ourselves of that which would tend to be unattractive to those we contact in the life.

Guard yourself at all times and you will be well rewarded.

Cause and Effect

 

As we give of ourselves to others so we ourselves receive. 

 

We all give and receive throughout life. It is a law -- a law known to us as the law of cause and effect. As we give of ourselves to others so we ourselves receive.  

If we keep only to ourselves, never in any way thinking to help another, we only place obstacles in our own way for we cannot receive unless it is earned.

Sometimes it may appear otherwise for some do receive that which they do not deserve, but if this is so, it is never with them long for they would not and cannot keep it. The law is not mocked, nor does it change -- only individuals change. 

Always there is the influx of good coming in if we only open our minds to receive it. So many feel sufficient unto themselves, never realizing that they are receiving as they give or losing as they have failed to give. 

This is not necessarily meant in the way of material gain although, of course, all things follow in the more or less same pattern. We mean rather the Spiritual or true values in life, the things of the spirit that we can and do take with us when we leave the earth plane of life.  

We are in the kindergarten, the lower grade of life and should be learning how to live so that great blessings of love -- the prime force of all that is -- is ours to go forth and share with all who come into our sphere of life showing the way to others by our life and example.

Investing in Self

 We must invest in self -- just keep the love, the hope, the faith and confidence of life working for us and help humanity in every way we find it possible to do. 

 

If we lock our good points up in the bank of human life, they will not work for us, for contrary to human life on the earth plane and its systems of investing monies, your virtues cannot work for you unless they are used. We cannot keep them under lock and key and expect them to do anything for us. 

We must invest in self -- just keep the love, the hope, the faith and confidence of life working for us and help humanity in every way we find it possible to do. Only in this way can we realize on the investment of self. 

Money, it is true too, must be kept in circulation in order to grow for us, but what is meant here is that, although we do not lose money by storing it away for it is still there, in life we actually do lose all the virtues we fail to use and to use well. They do grow and expand with use and only in this way can we help others and thereby also help ourselves.

Use and express the love you feel, the hope, the faith, the good and the positive things of life. Push into the background all the negative elements of life, the fears, the distrust, the feelings of inadequacy, et cetera. Do not accept them when they enter the consciousness, but throw them out by supplanting them with their positive opposites.  

Try this method of living and your positive nature will grow and your whole spiritual being will benefit.

Simple Laws

Life is not really mysterious or hard to penetrate. Its laws are simple, straightforward and just.

 

What we give, we receive. By that is meant not necessarily material things, but a blessing of the Spirit. This is the greatest of all gifts and one which benefits all who receive it. When we are kind, even to those who are unkind to us, we receive, though we realize it not, for it is a law of life that for whatever is given something is received in return.

Life is not really mysterious or hard to penetrate. Its laws are simple, straightforward and just. Cause and effect in action; reap and sow, give and receive, love and be loved. It is, you see, simple and good and so rewarding to live according to these simple rules.  

Another one seems to be, “He who has, gets.” Crudely put, but there is truth there. All who have good qualities receive more, all who have of anything seem to be able to acquire more, so there again is the law working for us. 

How can we lose if we have right thought, followed by right action? You cannot lose for the law is working for you. Sow the good deeds born of good, kind thoughts unselfishly given. Because of this, the benefits received are greater than you know.

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.
