Never accept the limitations of your environment.
Remain inwardly ensconced in God's presence; there is no other haven of safety.
In fearlessness affirm: "I am in God's presence. No harm can reach me, for
in every situation of life physical, mental, financial, and spiritual; I am
protected in the fortress of God's presence.
Fearlessness means faith in God: faith in His
protection, His justice, His wisdom, His mercy, His love, His omnipresence.
Fear robs one of the indomitability of his soul;
disrupting Nature's harmonious workings emanating from the source of divine
power within.
Fear causes physical, mental, and spiritual
disturbances. Instead of indulging in anxiety one should affirm: "I am
ever safe in the fortress of Thy loving care."
Meditate or be still. As soon as you take away the ripples of
sensations from the lake of the mind, God's heavenly bliss bursts forth from
the soul.
His bliss is already there, but it is hidden within
you. The more you meditate or be still, the more you will feel the endless joy of God.
Form the habit of meditation. It is the only way to
find everlasting happiness of the soul; and when you have that, nothing else
matters.
Our ordinary waking consciousness is centered in the
awareness of a material existence. After all, this is the realm in which we
abide. Our mind perceives the world through the senses and we accept what we
perceive as reality. Western thinking is still very much influenced by people
like Newton and his theory of a mechanical universe, and Descartes, “I think therefore
I am” and that all existence can be explained through mathematics.
Most people still believe, when judging by their
actions, that this is their show and the better they can play the game, the
better off they will be. The more goods they can amass, the more successful they
are in the eyes of their fellow man. In this manner they can buy their way into
anything they want. For them, this is the ultimate victory to be rich and
famous. But there comes a point where the lessons of life can hit hard in the
form of disappointment or illness.
Then many look for God and ask Him how he figures
that they disserve misfortune.
