YOU CAN CHOOSE YOUR OWN FUTURE!
HERE AND NOW!
What if we could make the rest of
our destiny? Create our own future? Well we can!
Because your thoughts are directly linked to
your destiny, through the 5th Spiritualist Principle which is Personal
Responsibility.
It’s true we actually do make our own destiny
- because we are all personally responsible for our thoughts and deeds.
A quote: “Thoughts
sow Deeds, sow Habits, sow Character, and your Character decides your
Destiny"
Look again at that the last bit ...'Character
makes destiny'.
In other words if you think and act badly you
can’t expect people to give you love and light!
The key words are ... thought –
deed – habit – character – destiny.
Thinking is followed by doing, control the
thinking in the first place and you’ve got yourself under control, and so your
character is formed.
If we don’t like the destiny that we’ve got…
then we can change the whole thing by looking at all of these basic words
- than ask where does the thing start? I say it again, thought – deed –
habit – character – destiny, and before thought comes attitude (philosophy).
With our attitude!
And that means our attitude to everything we
see - and that in turn means our attitude to all God’s creations and creatures.
In fact to anyone or anything, which comes within our sphere of existence.
Because that is our
attitude to God and all life forms, because they are all made of the same
thing, and this attitude is what makes the person that we each are, our
character.
THOUGHT is a form of energy that stimulates another basic laws into action.
You’ve heard the expression, “Like
attracts like"…?
It’s no good thinking one thing and doing
another. A hypocrite is a person who does exactly that! So the thought is the
most important here. Hypocrisy is a character trait that gets us all annoyed;
we can all do without that!
Another old saying “Misery enjoys
company”
In other words - thinking negative thoughts
attracts negative people - yes, by just a negative attitude to things in
general we attract like-minded people in both the physical and spiritual
worlds. Personally I try to avoid the destructive elements in negativity from
wherever it comes, don’t you?
Conversely…if we are positive and find
something to like in a person, a place, or whatever, then the likable part of
it will be attracted towards us.
Now, I know this doesn't mean everyone is
going to suddenly switch to 'fantastic complements' mode! But keep at it and a
strange thing happens ... a negative reaction shifts into a positive one. Example,
ask a person to do something for you, and when they say "no" wait,
and ask another time maybe another question, that opportunity is far more
likely to be taken up at the next chance because your positive attitude
attracted a positive attitude...see?
How do we make a destiny come to us that we would
like? Be careful, think about what you actually want to attract
…eh? Remember "Do as you would be done by."
BUT HOW is this acted out in every
say life? By not letting corrosive thought find a place to settle in the
mind; by actively being aware and making a decision to root out negative
thoughts. Saying to yourself “Woops that was a wrong one,” and putting a right one
in its place.
And the secret is we don’t have to believe,
we only have to try it, and find that it does work, of course it
takes a bit of patience, habits are not grown over night, they take time.
Example: Thinking "I can do this",
and repeating it over again till it is sticking in the brain, after all the
brain is a tool to be used we are not subject to our thoughts, they are our
creation, so it is up to us to control them.
NOT by simply keeping out of trouble and so
just not doing anything wrong, NO! Doing nothing attracts nothing at all. But
by behaving in such a way as to be of assistance of out fellow man - By giving.
Giving attracts givers.
Thoughts come before deeds, it’s the attitude
that counts, by getting into the right way of thinking with everything
around us, and by getting into a giving habit we alter everything else. By
being altruistic.
‘Altruism’ is defined in the thesaurus as the
charitable attitude - A person who is a lover of mankind!
FATHER GOD - BROTHER MAN
For those of us without the income to be
monetarily generous there is always the gift of time and patience
together with love, which is generosity in itself. Everyone has
some of these to spare. The charitable attitude does not choose who to
whom it is directed, in other words not only to the family but to strangers too
… To the loved and the unloved alike!
HABITS
A good habit is as easy to get as a bad one!
But I admit it's harder to exchange the negative for the positive, so
forming good habit first is a wise plan, and character etc will follow on.
Also think about this, our children reflect our philosophy, "out of the
mouths of babes and sucklings."
CHARACTER
Think about this; what we do not like in
others is what we seek to hide in ourselves…think about that one a bit.
DESTINY
Karma, how does it work? The great sages say
in many books that it doesn’t matter if you believe in reincarnation or not,
the deeds of both kind, negative and positive, will
be accounted for.
TO RECAP
Our attitude is our thinking, our words lead
us into deeds, and after a little time habits are formed, and character emerges
from those habits, which then in turn by attracting 'like to like' form our
destiny, that’s it. Get the first and we have the rest.
Eternity is the time we have to progress!
It’s how long we have to get it right! And so it should be, that we
all go on forewords at our own speed, because although stagnation is bad for us
it doesn’t matter if we decide to stop for a while and rest, even regression
must end eventually, so cheer up, we all will get there no matter how we do it.
Thank goodness The Great Plan is ‘fool proof’
the Great Spirit has allowed for every eventuality, and eventually we return
from whence we came…back to Him, our home.
Amen to that.
This was a Philosophy talk given some time
ago in church - normally the process here is to stand up in the state of
‘receiving’ (as one would when giving Clairvoyance). The altered state means
that while speaking it just ‘passes through’ and is not generally remembered,
but in a some cases, when I’ve asked, spirit helpers have assisted me in
writing the contents down later, and I thank them.
Perhaps you would like to read the article on
progression through HEALING?
The healer doesn't just heal; they too are
healed in the process! Amazing how it works for all those willing to 'give it a
go'!
End.
