CHAPTER FOUR
**************************************************************************
First Reading : Miracle of Man
We are the greatest miracle of nature, who have been created in the greatness, magnificence, and brilliance of the Almighty One, and are therefore able to see the greatness of all things, and experience heaven on earth
We shall behold the splendour of divine energy, when we look deep within us, and in gratitude see the magnificence of our being, in whom the divine life of the universe is truly manifested, in all of its fullness
When we live in union with nature, we shall live with our true selves, since by living in accordance with the law of nature, we are in fact allowing free natural flow, into every single experience of our lives
By living with nature, we may discover the creative core within us, and then through its expression, and expansion, we will consciously experience, a dynamic sense of growing alignment, with the spirit of all things
Since creative self - expression is the closest we can get to our natural state of being, the imaginative use of our naturally creative talents will become our road to well - being, true happiness, and peace of mind
All things in life are ultimately possible, through the powerful free - flow of our inner life - force, which may cause an energy of thought to manifest its visualized form, by moving all its intensity into reality
When we embrace life consciously and enthusiastically, we will discover the presence of the one life - force, which is the divine spirit that moves in all things, and fills everything with its life - energy
( The Path of Magnification )
Second Reading : Source of Abundance
The act of reaching for the stars is an act of requesting the universe, for all of its myriad wonders and miracles, since the universe always rearranges itself to accommodate our desired picture of reality
Being the first born of all living things, in this great universe, we are confident, in our belief, that whatever we can conceive, we can also achieve, and whatever is possible, in the world, will also be possible for us
The vast universe of mankind is full of unlimited possibilities, the prosperity and abundance of which may be commonly granted unto us, because of our divine right to the sacred inheritance of the One Life
Since we are a source of abundance, and co - creates with the All Universal Source, when we think and feel prosperous, we shall also become prosperous, both for our sake and for the sake of all humanity
Nothing will ever come to us that we do not allow to enter into our lives, either deliberately, by confusion, or neglect, because what we constantly think, feel, and say tend to determine what we shall experience in life
We have thus to examine what is the real focus of our thoughts are, on most of the days, and then change our thinking and dialogue, whenever we want to generate tremendous inner energies to change our lives
We shall experience what we believe in, and focus our energy into, for whatever we vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon, in faith, must inevitably come to pass
( The Path of Anticipation )
Third Reading : Sincerity of Action
We belong to our own dreams, we belong to ourselves, and not to the expectations of others, therefore we must always follow our own guiding star in life, instead of following a path that others may try to impose upon us
We should try to go beyond the question, in order to do and be ourselves, since no one, but we ourselves, shall be able to unlock the hidden treasures within our own hearts, and souls, in a personally meaningful way
The true contentment of our hearts will never be determined by our wealth, which can become a personal bondage, if our attachment to it moves us to hoard possessions, and instils in us the fear of loosing them
We must hence learn how to surrender any situation of bondage gracefully, in order to confidently take our next step, in the path to peace and fulfilment, and thereby opening ourselves to other opportunities in life
It is always more important to be the right person than to find the right person, by becoming a person who can love and appreciate oneself, through the act of believing that unconditional love is a state of being
Since love is not essentially something that we do, but something that we are, we can only love sincerely when we offer our own selves, and enter into the lives of others, by committing all things to our mutual happiness
When we consciously love ourselves, we can love others truthfully, and through that generous act of loving brings a glowing light of inner energy, which will enlighten our hearts, and enable us to leave no room for rejection
( The Path of Emancipation )
Fourth Reading : Roots of Friendship
Only a good friend could care for our wounded feelings, bring sunshine in our darkest nights, and make us joyful through some difficult times with a compassionate presence so profoundly experienced
It is a heavy load to spend every moment with an enemy, especially if he is found within us, therefore we have to be our own best friends, by accepting ourselves, and conseque
