Missing the Mark - #Sin-consciousness

For years I have thought that, if I did something wrong, a Big Man in the sky was keeping records. As a result of any presumed misbehavior, a demerit system took place in which my goals and dreams would be sacrificed. This system determined my success in life.

If I were good, I would gain success. If had done something that I thought God considered wrong or evil, I would chastise myself by forfeiting my dreams to an unknown monster called the devil.

What I described above is a very common way of thinking that matches a religious look at life in which rules dictate the growth of your human spirit. As most of us live, or have lived, by this law, and all of us are bound to take a wrong turn somewhere in life, then, I would guess, that most of us feel we are unworthy of Good and Prosperity. Have you considered that maybe this old system of belief is why your prayers have gone unanswered?

I certainly have. First of all, I don’t consider prayer a list of things I want from Santa Claus. That is old school belief, and I feel it has no bearing on a spiritual adult today. Daddy God is ready to give you the credit card, my dear friend and child of the Most High, and let you make your choices without judging and condemning you.

Are you ready for that responsibility? That’s the real question here.

A spiritual adult must learn to act with God and as an emissary of God. In other words, you are the hand of God reaching into humanity to express the will and creative nature of Spirit. You have been divinely created for this sole purpose.

But how many of us have decided that being a Son or Daughter of God is blasphemy? Or, that having the power to create your future is way too much to handle? You would much rather be a codependent child waiting for dinner to be served without having a preference of the outcome.

I know this for certain: I want a choice. I want to create a new and wonderful future now! I am not bound by my past. My future is not contingent upon any perceived wrongdoing. The reason why my prayers have not been answered may be, because I have spent far too long focused in on my wrong and not enough time contributing to the process of creating my good, with my God Consciousness.

Today is the day to let go of that old thought process that hinders your creative power. Remember, the time you spend thinking and dreaming is reciprocal with the effects in your life. This power and spiritual law does not discern whether or not you think negative or positive thoughts. It simply operates without judgment. So, if you think you deserve less, you will certain get less.

However, if you believe that you are a child of the Most High, Unlimited Source of Good (an arm of God), then you will certainly begin to manifest the power and the effect of your positive belief.

This is a fun book about a Gay Man's take on a female's relationship with straight men. Even though it is pithy and fun, it delves into spiritual belief and self-esteem issues that we all need to look at in relationship. Buy the book here.

Gateway to Happiness

Gateway to Happiness

Every time someone dies in my life, I think of one thing: Why am I wasting so much of my life in stasis?

Death is like pulling a “wake-up” card in your daily reading and stapling it to your forehead. “Hey, YOU! Life is short. You never know when your time is up! Get with it! Do what you’re here to do!”

I’ve been writing a great deal about our life’s purpose. There is a good reason. Without a clear vision of your future, you will cease to exist. I’m not talking that you will die physically. I believe you will perish mentally. You will end up in stasis and complacency.

Every year I used to take a week off in January, go to the beach, bring my journal, and plan for the next year. I would set achievable goals for myself. I would place thoughts about what would make me happy and joyful. I would create defined dreams for the future. I noticed that, as I did this, almost every goal would be achieved before the end of the year.

About three years ago, I went to the beach. The only thing that kept coming to my mind was… “your goal is to be ‘goal free’ for the entire year. See, if you can be led by the spirit every day.”

As I tried my best to stay out of my controlling mind—which is really strong—I watched as my level of complacency deepened. I didn’t know how to act without a goal. I am, by nature, goal oriented. I have always been this way. I set my mind to write 10 pages of a book a day, and you better believe those 10 pages are done, edited and printed or the rest of my day is useless.

I remember, even as a child, when I had something important that needed to be accomplished, I would say to myself: “If you finish your book report, then you can go outside and play! Otherwise, you have to stay inside and practice the piano.”

It was as if, I got the idea of parenting myself at a very young age. As I didn’t have a caring father or a mother that lived with my five siblings, there was no one but me to look after me. I just kept thinking, if I’m not brilliant and talented, then I will never get out of this hell hole of a town, and I’ll end up like all the losers that work at the steel mill and get cancer from the steel dust in my lungs. That was my motivation.

That was enough to get me a 4.0 in high school and get off to college on almost a full scholarship to Carnegie Mellon University. No parent helped me do my financial statements for a student loan. No teacher led me along the path of where I wanted to go. I just jumped in and did it. Fear never had a dwelling place when it came to getting things accomplished.

Making life happen is usually about removing the blocks to your creative mind. My friend Sharon has to play the piano, play the organ, clean the kitty litter box, and watch an hour of television before she can get to finishing her Masters Thesis. I always tell her, “Wouldn’t it just be easier to define a time to work and just work? Why do you have to go through this avoidance ritual?”

Her answer, “I just can’t seem to get motivated to do what I know I have to do.”

Isn’t this most people’s answer to my question?

Today is the day you are going to find the gateway to happiness. You are motivated to take whatever has been troubling you, holding you back, and standing in the way of your success and demolish it with your mind. You are going to envision the pathway to your success as clear and free. You no longer need to sabotage yourself or your career by playing small in this world. You are a magnificent piece of God—ready for the world to see, hear, and know!
