In life we experience two main emotions: one is pleasure, the other is pain. They come and they go; they are a normal part of the human experience. But what happens is that our minds try to maintain the good and push away the bad. It’s a kind of tug-of-war where we say “I want this” and “I don’t want that.” This has the result of causing struggles in our lives.

Knowledge is one of the things that prevent us from awakening. Why? We think we know many things and knowing these things keeps us from being awake. To gain awareness we need to unlearn what we know, or think we know. We need to let go of every piece of knowledge and just be. In the East they call it the way ‘neti neti’ which means ‘not this, not that.’ In the West we refer to it as ‘via negativa’ which means a way of nothingness.

Besides gifts, the Presence of God is practiced through intentionality. This is beyond what God gives us – regarding our individual Spiritual ‘heredity’ – and it extends it by what we have of our own motives, so far as our desire prevails to experience God. Whilst the Beatific Vision is beyond many of us, no matter how hard we try, this continual experience of God is possible for every believer via unspoken prayer.

The other night I was sitting in my apartment feeling a bit lonely. So I decided to text a friend, let’s call him Nate, and asked if he wanted to come over and catch up on stories from the summer. As we sat in the living room conversing about work and friends and telling what I thought to be mundane, ordinary stories, Nate interrupted me with a thought. He warned me that it might sound a little strange or out of whack, but he said he thought that perhaps people actually learn and grow more when they’re going through hard times that involve suffering and pain.

Two different takes: Hurricane Irene demonstrates how people live their lives. When possible impending disasters hit the news people get to choose whether to focus on the horrible painful aftermath that MIGHT happen OR they can focus on dispelling the chances of that event happening with the  predicted severity.

The Lord’s Supper is a celebration of unity of our oneness in Christ. The early believers exemplified this (Acts 2:46). Whilst our culture may differ vastly from theirs, unity in grace, peace, and love is what characterizes us as Christians.

Growing up, being the eldest of 3 brothers had its pluses and minuses. One of the things you learn early on is that you are indeed your brother’s keeper. Having responsibility to take care and help younger ones as they fall and protect by force when a bully tries to take advantage.

Beliefs are just thoughts which you have accumulated over time as a result of the experiences and events in your life. But when you are looking for results, it is not the belief in something that produces it but rather the belief in your own mind that will produce it. In other words, do not be sucked in by the lies and propaganda that surround us and aim to make us conform to society norms. Instead start to believe in eternal truths.

You never want to hold back tears because that is when the soul fully connects with the body. Be compassionate with yourself when tears want to surface. here are tears of heartache and pain, tears of pity and tears of joy. There are also tears that connect to an overwhelming sense of emotion that is difficult to articulate with words. It feels as if your soul is trying to come forth and communicate to you.

Jesus told Nicodemus, “I am telling you the truth, that no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit. A person is born physically of human parents, but is born spiritually of the Spirit.”

Most times it’s really hard to change something about yourself that we’ve been so used to doing. Most people deep down inside of themselves really want to change, but they feel it’s either too much work or too painful. Change is hard there’s no doubt about it, but change is good when you look at it from a different prospective. People don’t embrace change not because they don’t want to, they don’t know how to.

Grace or judgment: which end of this span of eternity will we endear ourselves with? What will be our focus? Put this way, surely we go with grace, and follow our God into freedom.
