Guiding Principles
A useful guide to help us step into a new way of approaching ourselves and the world around us
A Lesson On Truth
There is a reason for everything
The past creates the present.
The present creates the future.
Those who follow the truth are never led astray
What is the truth?
Where do you find it?
The truth is around.
The deepest truth is within your soul.
Yet people look for it in the mind and thus experience a disconnect between God's truth and man's truth.
God's Truth is a wave
Once man rides it, he finds peace and happiness.
To the inexperienced, riding a wave is difficult because they see all the distractions.
They are afraid of falling into the ocean.
They are afraid of making a mistake
So what will bring you peace?
Because that really is the ultimate end
Everything you do today
Is to bring you peace tomorrow
And thus you seek the path
Embrace the moment
Become one with it
Find balance
Discover what you want
For that is where all progress starts
It starts from within you.

A Reminder About Freewill
Life in its basic essence is sowing and reaping
That means whatever you project out is returned to you in multiples
Man projects into the universe through his interaction with his immediate and remote environment
Man through his thoughts, words and deeds sows into the universe and the universe reciprocates with opportunities
Hence it can be said that man reaps through the opportunities he is presented with and sows through the choices he makes
Therefore it can be said that life is about opportunities and choices
On this foundation is your freewill established
Yet the ignorant, imagine that life is about obligations and rules
Instead of them doing things to express their true self
They act in fear to abide by rules made up in their head
God's words are not rules and laws
They are opportunities presented to mankind
to lead him to the promised land
In the past people have been compelled
But,
Why would God compel you to do something
when He has given you free will?
A Call To Remove Judgement
Man thinks that because things are smooth everything is alright
He also assumes that when things are rough and tough, things are bad
In truth,
All things exist because they need to exist
And your judgements of same are products of hindsight and prejudices
In truth,
You cannot determine what is good or bad in one life
All things exist before you were born and after
It is written,
Judge not so you may not be judged
You think this refers to only others
But it applies to the self and experiences
Hence embrace all experiences
And ask what is My response to this
Time passes yet you make the same mistakes
because your wisdom is limited
And to break out of the cycle you need to take a new step in thinking
Stop judging your experiences
Look at the events unfolding around you
Listen to what the Almighty advises in relation to those events
Once you master this
You will master your universe
