Spiritual Healing
What all mystics through out history have known to be true is that a direct communication with God is possible. To communicate with God one has to know what God is. From Jesus we learn that God is spirit and that the father in heaven is perfect.
Trusting Faith: Letting Go of the WheelMaking a conscious change or life decision is accessible to you at any given minute. As you read this article, relax, reflect, and choose to let go of the wheel that is controlling your life. Release your tight grip and focus your energy towards your breathing and the rise and fall of your chest. Use this time to resonate with your life dreams, hopes, and beliefs; remember you are here for a divine purpose. Whatever your purpose may be… there is reason. Your life is a gift, believe and trust in that purpose, not only for yourself, but for all others around you. There are many people lost in faith and searching for that same goal… peace of mind. What do you believe in? What is your purpose in this life? Do you still have faith or have you lost it? Are you living your life by grazing the surface or are you digging deeper?
How To Understand The Divine Message Of The QuranThere are always those who question the divinity of religious texts. Indeed, it is their right to do so. In the past too, whenever divine text was revealed, people always demanded a sign or a miracle from the prophets of their time to prove the divine origin of the text. Similarly, there have been, and are, people who question the divine origins of the Quran. Yet, unlike any other divine text, the Quran, itself, offers proof of its divine origin implicitly, as well as explicitly.

Experiencing Spiritual InebriationExperiencing Spiritual inebriation is the highest of all human experience – the touch of the Divine. Any believer of God is capable of enjoying such delight. The Presence of God, brought to the immediacy of the moment, made fathoms deep before us, makes life within our beings never more worthy. Living out of such an experience makes every other experience relevant, meaningful, and endurable.
Four Types of MinistryHave you ever thought about the four types of ministry people do for the Lord? Maybe you never realized there are that number, perhaps believing there were more than that. What is important is not the number but where is your ministry within these four?
Funny Hats, Royal RobesAs a Catholic, I am embarrassed by the recent “coronation” of Cardinals in Rome. The appearance of all those red robed men in funny hats and little slippers certainly did not project the real picture of the church to which I belong. A church founded by a poor carpenter in Nazareth and whose purpose is to serve the poor and marginalized of the world is poorly represented by this garish display of royalty.

Isaiah 54 – The Promise of Eternal PeaceWhat do we picture when we think about peace? The opening to Isaiah 54 presents the image of space, in many ways congruent with concepts of peace the Israelites would have understood – a geographic peace. The recurrent theme throughout latter Isaiah is brought also to bear here. Here is the proclamation of redemptive peace…
Why Humility Is ImportantHumility is a much neglected virtue in the modern world; everyone wants to be a ‘winner’ and the implicit assumption is that nice people finish last, that understating yourself is a strategic mistake, and that humility, basically, is for wimps. Like the virtue of ‘meekness’ it is perceived as a negative virtue for those lacking what might be termed, colloquially, ‘bottle’. This, I think, is a serious mistake and arises from a fundamental misunderstanding of what humility is.
Fully Engaged With The Real JesusWe often get told that we should always be in a good relationship with our God. This means that whatever sin that is bothering us should be confessed to God in order to ask for forgiveness. This also means that we should apologize to people who we have hurt as well as forgive those who have hurt us.
Universal Mind And The Power Within YouWe are all connected within one universal mind. Each of us is a bundle of energy linked to an infinite source of universal energy. We all come from this same energy source because this energy field IS everything in existence! Every particle, energy wave, and force that we know of is derived as an expression from this basic fact. We all are one.
Scripture and the Authentic YouJournaling can start with thinking about your favorite scripture. Once you have picked one then rewrite the scripture on a blank page without lines. Engage your imagination by thinking of pictures, colors, and actions.
