Santuary of Peace!

Postby Enock » Mon Nov 18, 2013 7:20 pm

Welcome all, hope some of those old friends from f78 eventually show up. (SD-Stranger, N13, Oak, WhiskeyPunch, ect.)





So, with this thread I want to stay on the positive side ...- while helping myself and others learn and grow, here I'll be touching on a variety of different things, tonight I want to touch on the power of our words and what we say to others. The biggest thing to understand is that every word has an inner Life force, sometimes called the hidden power of Words, and it is the nature of this power that determines weather the expression is to be favorable or not so favorable......this power may be constructive or destructive



It may move towards the superior or the inferior. It may promote your purpose in Life or it my regress that purpose, and it is the strongest when it is deeply felt. So, the words which we feel are the words that act as turning points in life. When you feel trouble is coming, and express that feeling in your speech, you are actually turning in your path and are beginning to move towards that trouble.



You are therefore creating troubled conditions in your system... but then you have the person who has the poise and self-control in the midst's of trouble, he's the one that will pass through this without being seriously affected. And will come out much wiser and stronger. You have to be aware of what you are saying and expressing to others and this is truer then ever with internet forums such as this, understand what path you are choosing with the words you release upon this physical world.





In the moment of birth, when you enter this world, in that moment when you started crying for the first time ever, the soul enters your body. When you die, this soul will be wandering.



But the spirit always stays. If the body of an immortal would be destroyed, then he calls for the soul of a deceased warrior.





"…time is running out…".... means that in this Reality we are all bounded to the physical laws of its nature. That means that our time is limited and therefore should not be wasted nor ignored but wisely planted, calculated and exploited. In every second we decide if we bring us forth to future or back to past.

PROMISE YOURSELF

*To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.


*To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.


*To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.


*To look on the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.


*To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.


*To be just as enthusiastic about success of others as you are about your own.


*To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.


*To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and to have a smile ready for every living creature you meet.


*To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.


*To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.


*To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world--no in loud words, but in great deeds.


*To live in the faith that the world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

"Abandon error for Truth, and illusion for Reality. To sin is to dream, and to love sin is to love darkness. They who love darkness are involved in the darkness ; they have not yet seen the light. He who has seen the light does not choose to walk in darkness. To see the Truth is to love it, and, in comparison, error has no beauty. The dreamer is now in pleasure, now in pain; this hour in confidence, the next in fear. He is without stability, and has no abiding refuge. When the monsters of remorse and retribution pursue him, whither can he fly ? There is no place of safety unless he awake. Let the dreamer struggle with his dream ; let him strive to realise the illusory nature of all self-seeking desire, and lo ! he will open his spiritual eyes upon the world of Light and Truth. He will be happy, sane, and peaceful, seeing things as they are. Truth is the Light of the universe, the day of the mind.

BY these four things is the heart defiled— the craving for pleasure, the clinging to temporal things, the love of self, the lust for personal continuance ; from these four defilements spring all sins and sorrows. Wash thou thy heart ; put away sensual cravings ; detach thy mind from the wish for possessions ; abandon self-defence and sell-importance. Thus putting away all cravings, thou wilt attain to satisfaction ; detaching thy mind from the love of perishable things, thou wilt acquire wisdom ; abandoning the thought of self, thou wilt come to peace. He who is pure is free from desire ; he does not crave for sensual excitements ; he sets no value on perishable things ; he is the same in riches and poverty, in success or failure, in victory or defeat, in life or death. His happiness remains, his rest is sure. Be strenuous in effort, patient in endurance, strong in resolution. Hold fast to love, and let it shape thy doing.

The Knowledge of Truth is an abiding consolation. WHEN all else fails, Truth does not fail. When the heart is desolate and the world affords no shelter, Truth provides a peaceful refuge and a quiet rest. The cares of life are many, and its path is beset with difficulties ; but Truth is greater than care, and is superior to all difficulties. Truth lightens our burdens ; it lights up our pathway with the radiance of joy. Loved ones pass away, friends fail, and possessions disappear. Where then is the voice of comfort ? Where is the whisper of consolation ? Truth is the comforter of the comfortless, and the consoler of them that are deserted. Truth does not pass away, nor fail, nor disappear. Truth bestows the consolation of abiding peace. Be alert, and listen, that ye may hear the call of Truth, even the voice of the Great Awakener. Truth removes the sting from affliction, and disperses the clouds of trouble."
- James Allen

What is Life?

Answer. Life is Love in action. The quality of action, is determined by the quality of the love and the knowledge by which it is directed. God is Life in its Source. He alone has life in Himself.



What is Man?



Answer. Man is an organized form, created to receive life from God. Man has no life in himself, although he appears to have in himself the life which inflows momentarily from God, since he is created in the image of God. When this appearance is taken for the reality the life becomes perverted and changed in quality.




What are the Centers of Action?



Answer. There are two opposite Centers from which action proceeds. The true center is the Love of God, the false center is the Love of Self. The man who acts from the true center, in the light of true intelligence, becomes a spiritual man; the man who acts from the false center, in the fatuous light of the senses, remains a merely natural man. The purpose of life on earth is attained when the center of action has become changed from the love of self to the love of God.


Why are we first born into a body of flesh and blood in a material world?



Answer. Because this material environment is the best in which to learn the first lessons of life and to lay the solid foundation of the house in which we are to live forever.







What fact as to the first birth makes it necessary that we be born again in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven?


Answer. The mind or spirit of man is a house of three stories. At the first birth the lower story, which is the seat of our conscious life, is in direct opposition to the love of God and the neighbor. The second birth is necessary as the means of changing the center of action from the love of self to the heavenly center. ~ Thomas French



CHANGE YOUR HEART ~~~ CHANGE YOUR MIND ~~~ CHANGE YOUR LIFE




"All delights flow forth from love, for that which a man loves he feels to be delightful. No one has any delight from any other source. From this it follows that such as the love is such is the delight. The delights of the body or of the flesh all flow forth from the love of self and love of the world; consequently they are lusts and their pleasures; while the delights of the soul or spirit all flow forth from love to the Lord and love towards the neighbor, consequently they are affections for good and truth and interior satisfactions. These loves with their delights flow in out of heaven from the Lord by an inner way, that is, from above, and affect the interiors; while the former loves with their delights flow in from the flesh and from the world by an external way, that is, from beneath, and affect the exteriors." -
Emanuel Swedenborg

"Not only great happiness but great power arises from doing little things unselfishly, wisely, and perfectly, for life in its totality is made up of little things. Wisdom inheres in the common details of everyday existence, and when the parts are made perfect the Whole will be without blemish." - JAMES ALLEN





"God is Love. God's creating universe is founded on Love. It is creating with Light. The principle of love is desire to give. God gives love by extending His Light. God's love is a mirror of Light which reflects His giving of love by the regiving of love. The law of love is rhythmic balanced interchange between all givings and regivings....God's Love is everywhere; His Light is everywhere.There is naught but good in God's omniscient universe. Evil is a product of man's thinking."
- Walter Russell

Have you ever wondered why stars emit light and planets rotate and revolve harmonically in outer space?

Well, this is not the result of chance or accident!

This occurs because these heavenly bodies are behaving in correspondence with God's Love and Wisdom in Heaven.


HARMONIC MOTION ~~~ CORRESPONDS TO ~~~ DIVINE EMOTION (LOVE)

NATURAL LIGHT ~~~ CORRESPONDS TO ~~~ SPIRITUAL LIGHT (WISDOM)

There is a correspondence between OUTER SPACE (EARTH) ~~ AND ~~ INNER STATE (HEAVEN)

THIS IS KNOWN AS THE LAW OF CORRESPONDENCE Man's outer circumstances always correspond to his inner state of consciousness.

THE UNIVERSE IS LOVE PUT INTO EFFECT

LIFE IS LOVE IN ACTION OR USEFULNESS

A major part of staying positive is not letting the negative get to you! the power of the mind is an amazing thing that we have Earthling bro's

The important thing is to avoid all the destructive attitudes of the mind, such as anger, hatred, malice, envy, jealousy, revenge, depression, discouragement, worry, fear, ect.. you should never antagonize, never resist what is wrong, and never try to get even.

It really is critical to make the best use of your own talent and the best that is in store for you will positvely come your way.

When people try to take advantage of you, don't go out and try to retaliate by taking advantage of them. Use all that power and potential you have and work on improving yourself - so that you can do Better and Better work. That's how your going to win in the race. . .

Later on those who tried to take advantage of you will be left in the rearview mirror. Remember those who are dealing with you or anyone else undjustly are misusing their mind. They are losing their power and will, in the course of time they begin to lose ground; but if you in the mean time are turning the full power of your mind to the good, you will not only gain more power but also gain more and more ground in the game of life.

Colossians 3
1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.

4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.

6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.


7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.

8 But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.

9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.

11 Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.

12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.

16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.

17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
