- "We can't solve problems by using the same kind
of thinking we used when we created them." Albert Einstein
-
- We have all been reminded many times that we should learn
by our own mistakes and those mistakes made throughout history. Looking
back on things, it doesn't seem as though the world has progressed very
far in it's understanding. It appears that in order to survive, we need
to radically change our thinking.
-
- I have written articles in the past which concentrated
on trying to expose medical and government corruption. I believe this
is necessary in order to dispel our false sense of security and to reveal
the secret goals of those trying to decieve the world. Once evil is exposed
then it has no cover under which it can operate. However, it is only one
step in the process. We also have to look at what kind of thinking is
causing the woes of our world to perpetuate.
-
- Mary Baker Eddy writes in her book "Science and
Health"...."The time for thinkers has come. Truth, independant
of doctrines and time honored systems, knocks at the portal of humanity.
Contentment with the past and the cold conventionality of materialism
are crumbling away." Her definition of knowledge is...."Evidence
obtained from the five corporeal senses; mortality; beliefs and opinions;
human theories, doctrines, hypotheses; that which is not divine and is
the origin of sin sickness and death; the opposite of spiritual Truth and
understanding."
-
- Maybe what the world needs is less material knowledge
and an increase in the spiritual understanding of our true relationship
to each other and to the source of our Being.
-
- I think Einstein sums it up pretty well when he says
"A human being is part of a whole, called by us 'universe' a part
limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings
as something separated from the rest....a kind of optical delusion of his
conciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us
to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us.
Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle
of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in
it's beauty." He also said, "I want to know God's thoughts;
the rest are details."
-
- I feel that the ultimate solution lies in being open
and receptive to the ideas that can be recieved directly from God, the
One Mind or Supreme Being. The bible says "Let that Mind be in you
that was also in Christ Jesus." I take that to mean that we all have
direct access to "right" thoughts and solutions if we will only
put human will aside and be receptive to divine ideas. Isn't it our fearful
limited human thinking that is causing all our problems?
-
- At the same time our world is experiencing such chaos,
many are observing that there is a growing number who are turning to the
spiritual realm for answers....and finding they are making an impact!
Our 5 physical senses are very limited in what they allow us to percieve
and, in truth, are not always that reliable. Mirages are one example of
this. As human beings we possess a very narrow sense of things. For example,
we are only aware of certain frequencies of sound and wavelengths of light.
But just because we are not aware of all of them all, does not mean that
others do not exist. Every day we trust that our cellphones, T.Vs, radios,
etc. will continue to work even though we can't see, hear, feel or touch
the forces behind it all.
-
- We can't touch hear or feel God with our physical senses,
yet many know Him to be an active loving force in their lives that they
can turn to for guidance. Many who turn to God recieve practical harmonious
solutions to their problems. This spiritual knowledge is powerful and
effective.
-
- Part of the solution for a more harmonious world is to
recognize the true unity of mankind. " The Powers That Be "are
trying their best to create fear....to divide and conquer. Many of the
current terrorist attacks and disease scares are promulgated or even just
made up, for the purpose of producing fear and lack of trust in God and
our fellow man. We don't have to fall for this scam. It is all just more
tricks that the human or mortal mind is trying to play on us.
-
- The time has come to look beyond the material senses
for the solutions to the problems so urgently pressing upon us. The old
and material methods of thinking and acting are obviously not working.
If God is All Knowing, All Loving and All Wise, then isn't it God we should
be turning to for the answers? God's solutions benefit everyone. No one
is left out. In order to benefit from God's wisdom and love, all we need
to do is tune in our recievers.
-
- As a friend puts it "It is ridiculous to try and
prove God's existence or locate God with some sort of scientific instrument.
Because we are all part of this loving embrace we call God and can't step
outside God to locate and define God."
-
- The bible also says that "In Him we live and move
and have our Being." This means we live in God who is the source of
all intelligence, therefore, we don't need channelers, mediums or even
certain religious figures to help us communicate with Him. We each have
a direct connection!
