Phoenix Bird

Just as the mystical Phoenix bird rises out of the ashes to begin a new life, so must humankind rise out of the ashes of Dark Age beliefs and superstitions. No longer must humankind be afraid of death or the hereafter. No longer must we waste this life thinking that everything will be better in the next life. No, this life is to be enjoyed, to prosper, to live in peace, to create miracles, and to be happy.
No longer must we think of ourselves as sinners, not worthy to enjoy all of God’s beauty. We must become “born again: human beings. To re-quote the words of Jesus, “What has been created by me, all men and women can create and that which I am, all men and women will be.”
Reread the following sentence every day of your life. Our destiny is to achieve the spiritual awareness that we are part of God and that Jesus was a man who reached the highest level of human awareness, a destiny that someday all humans will reach.
Our task now is to be reborn, to rid ourselves of untruths such as, sin, Hell, devil, pain, stress, anger, greed and yes, even death. For when we lay down this body, our spirit like the mystical Phoenix will rise more glorious than we ever could imagine. This life is our Heaven or Hell depending on HOW we live it. The choice is ours.

Today’s Exercise: Mentally rid yourself of all negative thoughts and deeds.
Today’s Affirmation: I am loved, because I love.
Points to Ponder: This life is to be enjoyed, to prosper, to live in peace, to create miracles, and to be happy.

Love = Creation

All of existence is the creation of God’s Love and all creation is a manifestation of God’s Love. Everything created was from within God’s desire to contribute to the betterment of creation and as resulting humanity. At this point, each of us must do some soul searching. Are we contributing to humanity or are we taking away from humanity? Do we spend most of our time destroying this planet that God has created for our home?
The essence of creativeness is the love of all life. Every creature has a purpose and every flower is here for a reason. Too often, we treat these essences as having no value and yet, every time we step on a bug we destroy ourselves.
God gave each of us a special talent, and sometimes our talent appears more than just one. Through God we have become unique, a unique expression in the universe created by God. We are here to make a conscious decision to return God’s love. This love develops our talent, contributing to humanity.
I always thought I didn’t have any talent; that my brother had it all. I now know that by denying myself Love is denying God to work through me, and that is the greatest fear we can take into our minds. No matter what we do in this life, we will never be completely happy unless we allow our talents to be developed; our destinies to be fulfilled; and our visions to expand so that we know and understand our partnership with God. By allowing God’s love to work in our lives as a power for good we become free, to explore these special gifts that God has set aside for us.
We may contribute to humanity in general. This contribution, no matter how insignificant we think it is, advances humankind along the path of knowledge, and only then can we hope to move in harmony with life itself. This becomes so evident that we finally realize that failure and unhappiness are our own creations. This is not an angry God punishing us, nor a vengeful God getting even. This is Love gone astray. The perfect seed of success and happiness lies within each of us. There is within us a channel in which God expresses Love. This channel is your mind. Love is the key to opening this channel and once it is opened, nothing may close it, except for the perceived lack of Love.

Today’s Exercise: Open your mind. Look for your special talent.
Today’s Affirmation: I am loved, because I love.
Points to Ponder: There is within us a channel in which God expresses Love. This channel is your mind.
