Seeking Spirituality

Has anyone else noticed how Barak Obama is using the Law of Attraction in his presidential bid?

Step 1 is to ASK - Know what you want and ask the universe for it.

Step 2 is to BELIEVE - Feel and behave as if the object of your desire is on its way.

Step 3 is to RECEIVE - Be open to receiving it.

It’s pretty obvious he has carried out Step 1.

Although there has been a lot of rumble about his recent trip to the Mideast and Europe, it appears to me that he’s simply carrying out Step 2. He’s acting “as if.”

And Step 3? I’m sure if/when the time comes, Barak will be very open to receiving the title of President of the United States.

Whether or not  Barak Obama becomes our next president remains to be seen. But it will be certainly be a testament to the effectiveness and power of the Law of Attraction if this happens.

• All humanity is one family.
• Women and men are equal.
• All prejudice — racial, religious, national, or economic — is destructive and must be overcome.
• We must investigate truth for ourselves — without preconceptions.
• Science and religion are in harmony.
• Our economic problems are linked to spiritual problems.
• The family and its unity are very important.
• There is one God.
• All major religions come from God.
• World peace is the crying need of our time.

Do these tenets sound like things you believe? Did you know there is a religion that teaches these? What religion do you think it is?

You may be surprised. I was.

I have no idea where you are spiritually. Because you are at this blog, I’m assuming (a dangerous act) that you are interested in spiritual growth and becoming all you can be in this life.

Based on this assumption, I want to tell you about an absolutely awesome book that I’m reading. It’s called “A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose.” It’s written by Eckhart Tolle (”The Power of Now”) and is one of the most thought-provoking books I’ve read in a long time. [Read more →]

We say we want peace.

We want wars to stop. We want families to stop fighting amongst themselves. We want people to stop hurting other people.

In other words, we want everyone to ’just get along.’

Yet with all this talk about peace and getting along, we continue to separate ourselves from each other. We continue to fight for power and control. We continue to insist that our way is the ‘right’ way or, in the case of some religions, the only way. [Read more →]

Many of you reading this have probably received or participated
in emails that circulate around the internet.

I received this one and felt it was too good not to share with as
many people as possible. Enjoy!

It is the ultimate anti-depressant. [Read more →]

Many have criticized Joel Osteen, the well-known pastor of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas. They are upset because Joel preaches a ‘good news’ gospel, because he helps people to feel good about God, because he gives them hope.

They would rather that people live under the spell of preachers who talk of a harsh, demanding, angry, vengeful, and judgmental God – who insist that individuals live under a continual state of fear, guilt, and anxiety, constantly wondering if they are living a life that is ‘pleasing’ to God.

Sometime back I purchased a book called Spirituality Simplified by Jeff Maziarek. It’s a wonderful book that addresses several issues that may be puzzling to a new spiritual seeker, but it also includes numerous good thoughts for those who have been on the spiritual pathway for several years.

One of the parts of the book that I especially liked was Jeff’s discussion at the beginning about the importance of being open-minded as you strive towards a deeper spiritual experience.  [Read more →]
