Our understanding of this life colors the reality we experience. Most of humanity binds itself into the drudgery of an isolated, perilous existence — an existence grounded in the known - an existence of sight and sound and feeling. We believe we have limits. We believe we are powerless. The often-misunderstood truth is that our boundaries are not static or fixed; home is not here, and we can go home. Something outside physical reality exists.
A power, beyond our own, organizes and animates what we experience. When we limit ourselves we follow a script of scarcity, a script of sacrifice, a script of desperation. Conflict, challenge, and effort are component parts of the drama lending depth, texture, and context, a credibility the ego demands. But we need not revel in the drama; we have a choice, and we can choose another way.
Life is infinitely more than the limited physical reality we readily accept. Understanding that another reality exists is beyond intellect, in the realm of faith. Faith in an ultimate truth requires a willingness to move beyond intellect to be open to a truth that seeks to reveal itself to us.
Our very existence, our awareness of life and this physical reality, is like a dream. Yet buried in the dream is a gift, a promise granted us. The promise is one of opportunity and adventure, risk nestled in security. We are like children learning to ride a bike. We are scared and exhilarated at the same time, but still under the guiding hand of a loving parent.
The power that animates and energizes this physical reality offers alternatives. We have unlimited resources and vast potential to draw on to discover and create in this playground. We have the power to choose.
To discover the truth you must choose to follow the guide leading you home: that still small voice that whispers to you in times of trouble, that implores you to turn at times of decision, that seeks your happiness. That force, bringing joy to a sometimes sullen world, shows you the way.
Sages and saints guide us to doorways of spirit. We can choose to be open to the promise and potential of an unlimited life of peace, love, and joy, or we can succumb to the weight of the drama. The promise is a life of unlimited potential. We need only orient on the promise and potential of each life to have life and have it more abundantly.

More religious articles: - The Secret of Black Magic (Yamaya Cruz)
The true secret of black magic is alchemy. It is a science, and much like a chemist it needs the right ingredients, measurements, timing, and knowledge to transform itself from copper to gold. - Spiritual Energy (Yamaya Cruz)
n dummy terms, chakras actually create fuel within the body, much like a solar panel takes sunlight and converts it into electricity. This is the body's natural way of recharging itself. Unfortunately, over the years people have become heavily dependent on fuel. And I don't just mean gasoline. We have forgotten how to recharge our own batteries. - Jesus Forbids Exclusion! (Aaron Taylor)
The term evangelical Christian and I share a love/hate relationship.
On the one hand, I believe in the good news of Jesus' death and resurrection and desire to share the implications of this news with others. The problem is that for most people in America, the term evangelical Christian is loaded with political undertones... - How Did We Get the Books of the Bible? (Jo Ann LeQuang)
The Old and New Testaments contain 66 books--but how do we know that they are the "right" books? How did we come to get the books of the Bible? The way in which canon or official texts were identified is crucial to understanding and appreciating the authority of Scripture. - Experience Transformation During An All Night Spiritual Celebration (Karuna DiLibero)
Each year, there is a celebration in honor of Lord Shiva at the Hanuman temple in Taos, New Mexico that I attend as a way to transform my life. This 12-hour ritual cleanses my soul and I feel transformed, fresh and pure, ready to start a new segment in my life. Maha Shivaratri, the "Night of Shiva" is a powerful experience and gives me a taste of the India that I miss living here in the US. - Jewish Jewelry For Girlfriends (Martin Vanaldez)
By arranging to give heart necklace jewelry to your beloved, you are expressing clearly what you may not be able to say in words to her. - Getting Back To Our Nature (Yamaya Cruz)
People are not allowed to freely express themselves. Instead, they are being reared like a pet. They are rewarded for good behavior and scorned for bad. People can't embody the natural element of fire, because anger and jealousy is bad. People can't show sadness, the element of water, because sadness is a sign of vulnerability. People can't be too loving and giving, the element of earth, because it is a sign of weakness. - How To Use African Religions To Be Emotionally Healthy (Yamaya Cruz)
Our ancestors understood the power of emotions. They understood that emotions were ten times more powerful than thoughts. They didn't accept things at face value and just treat the symptoms of the problems; they worked to treat the cause. - Awesome Bible Verses (Byron Dyson)
