Feeling low emotions? That’s a GOOD THING!

If you are considering a life of service as a pastor, minister, priest, etc., prayer is the order of the day. Spend time discerning your call. Is the call coming from ego, or is it coming from God?

When we hear the word spiritual, we typically think of being religious, right? Spirituality can be part of religion. Many people say that they are spiritual but not religious. For me spirituality is expansive and it involves wellness. Read on and define what spiritual wellness is for you.

When we look around, the world we see, is not a pretty sight. Wars, soaring crime rates, corrupt politicians, terrorism, global financial disasters….the list goes on. It’s very easy to lose heart and feel totally dejected.

I recently reread the story of David and Goliath in the Old Testament of the Bible. It is amazing how you can read the Word of God over and over and continually receive a renewed outlook on the meaning of the scriptures. The Philistines had declared war against the Israelites.

The idea of spirituality is very simple, and it can be described in just a few sentences. The Intelligent Energy is everywhere and creates everything and does it all of the time. It ‘recognizes’ vibrations and matches them by manifesting convictions into physical realities.

A planetary view is the result of awareness, the result of realization. A planetary man expands his boundaries of consciousness to include more and more. He is like a bird flying over continents. He is like a cloud not knowing barriers. His consciousness moves beyond any artificial barriers, beyond any dogmas and false conditioning.

When considering the Book of Ecclesiastes many Christians struggle to make sense of the apparently changing perspectives and the mixture of subjective and objective statements about what is good and bad in life. Most of these come into focus when we understand that this is a book in which the author is recounting his journey from a place where he tried to make sense out of life through his own intellect, then his pleasures and emotions, then even through madness and folly without recourse to the knowledge of God.

There appear to be times in life when we bump head on into self engendered thinking; definitions of self and world that no longer serve the goal of Being Who We Are. The judgments, the comparisons, the assumptions and beliefs; the measurements of understanding that were and are, consciously and unconsciously engrained and adopted; used as prescription to guide and inform and more often or not, determine us in the understanding of who we imagine our self to be.

Have you ever thought of God’s “creations” as being a fulfillment of His direct prophecies? When I speak of God’s “creations” I am referring to God’s material and spiritual rebirth “creations.”

What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus; What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Oh! precious is the flow That makes me white as snow; No other fount I know, Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Spirituality and religiosity are often confused. One is a true connection and the other is dogma, which has little to do with actual faith.

With this article I am mindful of running the risk of opening a cosmic can of spiritual worms. So, I will stubbornly stay above the fray and opt out on debating the righteousness of any one set of spiritual beliefs versus another. I write this blog hopeful it may engage your curiosity about the essence of creativity and its relationship to the mystical realm no matter where you fall on the “faith continuum.”
