Quote of the Month
“Intuition is the ability to interpret the energetic information that is always a part of every aspect of life and to use that energetic information for making wise choices – not safe, but wise.”
-Dr. Caroline Myss, author of The Intuitive Healer
The Search for SOUL Series
This series started in March with a profound and compelling statement from Dr. Raymond Charles Barker:
“When we search for Soul, we are human. When we use SOUL, we become divine.”
Part 5: What Do Clues Say About You?
Success always leaves a trail of clues. No doubt you look back on a trail of clues to success with pride and satisfaction. Often we may not credit SOUL for all Its work, even though It is always acting on our behalf. When we take initiative, SOUL moves into action. When an idea is planted in our mind, SOUL makes it sprout. SOUL produces, regulates, and handles all the technical operations that make everything work, including the health of our bodies. Without the ASK from us, It quietly works behind the scenes and takes NO credit. SOUL is always at work on our demonstrations.
This new understanding of SOUL allows us to start thinking bigger and in new ways. Now is the perfect time to transcend all ordinary thinking. Old wine should not be poured into new wine casks, and outdated ideas have no place in a new mindset. Sadly, some people are too busy to make that distinction. They avoid making changes that take them out of their comfort zone. If only they saw SOUL as an equal partner capable of demonstrating better circumstances and better conditions, life would not be a cross to bear.
Are YOUR spiritual or religious activities leading you to the divine experience you desire?
If not, why continue practices that leave you wanting and in search of more? Feeling the presence of God in your spiritual practices and in daily life changes everything. Once you become eager for SO MUCH MORE in life, your whole atmosphere will be elevated. If your spiritual or religious practice is not offering that, it may be time for a change.
As you reflect on your circumstances today, you can always improve something. Add one or more of your heart’s desires to the top of your list. These are sealed to your heart to support your best interests. Heart’s desires do not go away just because you ignore them. Realize they are in your heart to give you more fulfillment. And that is what SOUL, God, and spiritual growth can also do for you – give you more of what you want and desire. Remember, as you leave new clues on the next trail of success, keep SOUL in your heart and closely held inside you for the most incredible journey ever!
Q: I want more of a spiritual life. What is the first thing I can do?
One of the best practices I know is prayer. But this does not mean you just say a fluffy word or two in your prayer work and then turn away in doubt because your words were not sincere. Make your positive [affirmative prayer] declarations without reservation. I love what Dr. Ernest Holmes said about prayer: “Prayer is not an act of overcoming God’s reluctance but should be an active acceptance of His highest willingness.” All too often a prayer is an after-thought. Only when trouble arises do people urgently seek God out. “Somehow God will make it right,” they say to themselves, and then promptly forget why they made the request. Know that God is corresponding to your every intention. Begin every prayer with the end goal in mind – what is your highest and best desire? This is how prayer truly becomes dynamic; it starts with “YES, I believe I can have this desired result.” Then you feed and nurture that ideal with your faith and confidence that God is corresponding to your every request. Please know, God is not in your life to solve all your problems, but is looking to you as an inlet to receive all ITS best ideas soe25a8a0/csl-subscribersyou can solve your problems. The time has come to do your part. Begin each day with an affirmative prayer, a real and meaningful prayer where God is not reluctant TO GIVE YOU HELP!
The creative process awaits your decision to bring about all the perfect results you desire.
