No Story, No Problem | Eckhart Tolle on Eliminating Your Own Suffering

Merriam Webster’s Online Dictionary defines destiny as a predetermined course of events. Fulfilling your God-given purpose puts you on the road to divine destiny.

Seldom do we hear anyone teach or preach about the place of hatred in the life of a disciple. It is certainly understandable why some might consider this to be an oxymoron or incongruous in the life of one who claims to be a follower of Jesus Christ. Let us examine the Scriptures for enlightenment regarding the place of hate in the life of a disciple.

Whose purpose are you fulfilling? Your own or God’s? We are all called to fulfill God’s purpose. Read this article and examine yourself; make a change if necessary, today!

“Blessed our we who can laugh at ourselves for we shall never cease to be amused.” I recently went to see Swami Beyondananda, the Cosmic Comic, and he told us, “Imagine that the creator is watching the comedy channel, and WE are what’s on.” Laughter is a wonderful thing. It is healing and heart opening, it lowers our blood pressure and raises our spirits.

For thousands of years we have looked out to the heavens or inside ourselves to contemplate God’s nature. In the process of seeking into a vast emptiness we have forgotten about the sacred power of the present moment which is creatively happening through us and in the world around us. It is time for us all to move beyond culture’s left brain focus on a disembodied and transcendent God, a focus which has split apart spirit and matter (mother). It is time to bring God back the fullness of all that exists.

If you want the freshness and spiritual healing in your mind, understand and accept the oneness of God. Sing spiritual songs on any beloved character of your God. To sing your feelings to your beloved God creates enormous internal vibration which is great medicine and spiritual meditation. Whatever your sex, language, whatever name you call God to see God and religion for what you believe in God, he understands through your emotions to sing the song.

“Why doesn’t God answer my prayers?” How often have we asked that question? “Almost too many to count,” we reprimand ourselves. We look for reasons why we aren’t heard by God.

We call ourselves advanced. We possess the greatest technology known to mankind in our shortsighted view of history. We have modern medicine that boasts of having extended our lifetimes by decades without offering any proofs. It is claimed by scientists that chemistry has improved our quality of life while pumping humans, animals and the earth full of drugs, toxins, hormones and pesticides. We call ourselves enlightened while we invade other countries, killing, maiming, crippling, and sickening both troops and local populations with war, chemicals, radiation and hatred.

Our emotions and thoughts must be harnessed – they run amok in the untrained mind while we run about in chaos and the unpredictability of life itself. We continually confront new battles in an arena that we only wish for a modicum of control.

Politics and religion are those two areas that intellectuals always try to keep from their public conversations as proof of their intelligence. They are the uncomfortable topics that tend to possibly offend and expose the differences that polarize our society. The fact is that our lives are determined by our political and religious views.
