Healing Your Spirit, Healing You @Spiritual Prozac!: How to live a spiritual life with God?

A Blueprint for the Soul

A Comprehensive Guide to Spiritual Growth

Luisa Rodrigues

You are invited to explore the spiritual aspects of life—

Love—

Compassion—

Altruism—

Life after death—

Wisdom and truth—

Prayer and meditation—

The existence of God—

Moral laws—

The true meaning of life.

You know there is more to understanding than critical thinking and reasoning—know that spirituality is the indefinable urge to reach beyond the limits of ordinary human existence and to discover higher values in spiritual personhood.

The core experience is of being somehow connected to something greater—or of being in relationship with a higher self—higher beings—or God.

In cultivating a spiritual path, you are consciously appreciating the ultimate mystery that is life—the Universe—and everything in it.

It is the writer's sincere wish that these spiritual shards and fragments of spiritual teachings serve to soothe, inspire and instruct you to live life more in fulfilment of that great Law—

Love.

Then remember this―

And Remember!

God can do what you cannot.

God does not mismanage His own affairs.

God is your unfailing and inexhaustible supply.

God knows what is best.

God makes a way where there is no way.

God never says no.

You are a part of God and no harm can overtake God.

If God be for you, who can be against you?

With God, all things are possible.

You do not know the power of a will that has God behind it.

You do not know the power of a purpose that has God behind it and the future before it.

As for the power of your imagination, do not be deceived for a moment, for this is one of the most efficient powers in nature

Never look back with regret—look back only to learn what is behind you.

When you see me in the green trees and in the green light under trees, know that you are near to me.

When you hear my voice in the silence, know that I speak for you.

When joy is awake, the soul is awake.

The road is not long, which leads to the castle of dreams—the far away is nearer than next door, but only the dreamer finds it.

I would write my name on the leaves of your heart, but only the angels can read the writing.

Who bears my unknown name on the petals of his heart is accepted among the angels for the flower he is—his perfume reaches heaven.

There is pollen in the heart, Child of Earth, and it fructifies the flowers of faith.

There is faith in the soul, Child of Time, and it bears the seed of all things.

The seasons come, and the seasons go, but the springtime is eternal.

All is Unity, and Unity is Light.

Will yourself into Light, asking that Light may be afforded you—that your soul and spirit may become as one infused Light—that you may live and move in the Light, which is the Creative Will.

Let go.

Seek for nothing.

Absorb—

Be absorbed by the Spirit of Light, Love and Reality.

Be remade—

Expand your consciousness to acknowledge and accept the fact that you are a Child of the Living Light—you already have in consciousness all that is needed and reflect as much of the Spirit as your awareness will permit.

God is Light, Energy and Joy.

Rest in that Light and be healed from your mistakes.

Live a more abundant life.

Here is the old answer again.

Light—

Yet more light—

Light of understanding—of knowledge—of wisdom—of true perception to penetrate this fog of illusion in which you and I still wander.

Light!

Learn the meaning of that word!

Begin to realise the depth of those words—

Light, which lighteth every (hu)man that cometh into the world.

As your consciousness expands, you let in more Light.

So now you can really say with deeper understanding—

Let Light descend on Earth!

Let your Light so shine before (wo)men is essentially a fact—you are revealed by your Light.

I am the Light of the World means just that.

Revel in the Light and peace and a new joy.

If you feel the interior guidance, do not be afraid to trust it.

Look within for light.

Light!

And yet more Light!

Light to educate and uplift the mind, bringing calmness and peace in a sure reliance of Life’s Purpose and the wonder of Divine Creation.

Light in your soul and in your mind to lift you above the illusion of earth life’s fears.

Light in your mind to teach you how to tune in any frustration of the life—or personality to the great Reality of Divine Love.

You carry our own Light.

The greater, therefore, the selflessness and illumination of your mind and the more positive your response to the higher frequency of vibration, the purer and brighter is the Light you transmit.

As you think, so are you.

As you think, so you are—in environment, appearance and in company!

Change your thoughts and you change your destiny.

Every thought is a cause and every condition is an effect.

Every day choose the right thoughts, the right words and the right actions.

Imagination has great power.

If you make a picture in your mind, the vibrations of the body may adjust to it if the will is directed that way, as in thoughts of health—or sickness.

Until you accept the fact that all negative thinking must always end in tears, you continue to create your own suffering.

Watch your thoughts.

Your thought is action.

What you think, you create.

You are what you think all day long.

You can create almost anything if you imagine it strongly enough, even joy and courage.

Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven may be taken as having a factual meaning.

Study cause and effect.

Study the rise and fall of everything, according to cyclic law.

The tidal wave must spend itself on the shore before it subsides again into the sea.

You are influenced and moved and shifted and helped—or retarded by others, but it is you yourself who forge the chains every time.

You get exactly what you have earned and nothing else.

You must see that everything that comes to you is a return of everything that went out of you.

You asked for it.

What you want is a prescription to purge away the dullness that darkens your eye.

My friend, that is impossible.

There is no such pill.

The road is one that must be traversed.

The lessons must be learned.

The laws must be obeyed.

And that is not a matter of prescription—or potion—or charm.

Call on the god within to send evil back to its source.

There is always the promise of spring.

Discourage undesirable things by ignoring them than by attacking them.

Do not get into a panic.

A panic is worse than a quicksand to get into.

Keep calm.

Do not lose faith in the future of the world.

Have you not studied the Law of Rhythm?

Do you not know that the height is equal to the depth and that when things are at their worst, they are getting ready to improve?

God never forsakes an erring soul—not even in his darkest hour.

If all these ills befall me, it will be an exercise of power to conquer them.

If panics come, and they may, refuse to be panic-stricken.

If violence comes, and it may, refuse to be violent.

If discouragements come, and they will, refuse to be discouraged.

If you recognise the fact that you have sinned, set up good actions more powerful than your sins and reap the reward for those.

If you want an added protection, guard your own evil passions and resentful thoughts, your jealous emotions and unkind criticism of others.

The devils ride on waves of anger and resentment.

If you want to use signs and symbols, meditate on the cross of Christ.

The cross of Christ is profound enough for a lifetime’s meditation.

You were happy yesterday and you are still you.

It is only in contact with mind, desire and matter that the Spirit struggles and suffers.

In its own home, all is peaceful and pleasant.

Reach up to that home when the storms are too loud and you will find a place of silence.

The Masters enjoy difficulties.

They are the acid that tests the gold of their mastership.

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep is more potent than a magician’s spells.

You can only realise your errors and go forward into greater understanding.

Time spent on the knee in prayer will do more to remedy heart attacks and nerve worry than anything else.

God is a word that means many things to many persons.

The infinitely small and the infinitely great are the tail and the end of the Eternal Serpent.

The world is drawing close together and what influences a part influences the whole.

If the world has to get along with less for a few weeks, that will not hurt the world.

You will never understand your enemy by hating him.

You will never understand the Masters until the love and hate in you unite.

The uniting of love and hate!

There is a neutral point where the two join hands.

You hate only those whom you fear and in a tolerant world there will be few seeds of hatred.

When love and faith grow greater, armies will grow smaller and war will be at an end.

When all are assured of a means of livelihood, how free they will be in mind.

When education is really universal, the moral, as well as the mental will be trained and new ideas will have room to develop in the developing brain.

A chain is as strong as its weakest link and every link must be made strong.

I am the Light of the World means just that.

The joy of the struggle!

That is the keynote of immortality―the keynote of power.

Enjoy your struggles―thrill at the endless possibilities of combination and creation―live in the moment while preparing for long hence and do not exaggerate the importance of momentary failures and disappointments.

When you get your life in perspective, you will see that most of your causes of anxiety were trivial and that all the lights and shadows were necessary to the picture.

The Master enjoys difficulties, as a swimmer enjoys the resistance of the water.

Life is a fight.

You are in matter to conquer it lest it conquer you.

There is nothing in this Universe stronger than your will when it is directed by a powerful force of unit.

Whatever your strength, make the most of it in the battle of life.

Remember that your opponents are not other men, but conditions.

If you fight (wo)men, they will fight you back, but if you fight conditions, they, being unintelligent, will yield to you with just enough resistance to keep your muscles in good order.

Do not forget the law of rhythm―that is at the back of everything.

Count on rhythm―it never has failed yet and it never will.

Watch for the high tides of yourself and flow up with them―when the inevitable low tides come, either rest―or meditate.

You cannot escape rhythm.

You transcend it by working with it.

Yield yourself to the current that would carry you back to God.

Live Life in Eternity Now.

There is nothing to fear―there is everything to hope.

Have you considered that earth life may be the dream and the life after death the waking?

Sages have considered it before you and accepted the possibility.

My friend, there is nothing to fear in death.

It is no harder than a trip to a foreign country―the first trip―to one who has grown oldish and settled in the habits of his own more―or less narrow corner of the world.

You can never really die at all―

You are as immortal as the angels, as immortal as God Himself.

If you could only remember in life that the form, which you call yourself is not your real immortal soul at all, you would not give it such an exaggerated importance, though you would nevertheless take needful care of it.

The two worlds touch and they touch through the inner.

You go in to come out.

It is time that you cease to think of death in such a gloomy mood.

In fact, there is no death at all.

There is simply a shifting of the scenes, an awakening in a new world.

The envelope opens, the letter is released and it is over.

Life can be so free here!

The surest way to escape that painful period of transition is to go into the hereafter with a full faith of immortality―a full faith in the power of the soul to create its own conditions.

There is no hurry―the pearls in the chain of existence though small are all in their inevitable places.

There is no death― there is only a change in form.

You are, and have always been, an immortal and eternal being.

What a marvellous Purpose and Plan there is to Life!

There is love in this world like the water in the sea.

Awake to the knowledge that God is, God is.

Be vigilant―accept everything as a child does, but examine and test everything, as a (hu)man does, without prejudice and partiality.

The gates will swing wide to him who gives the right knock.

Get acquainted with your own soul.

Know why you do this―or that―why you feel this―or that.

Sit quietly when in doubt about any matter and let the truth rise from the deeps of yourself.

The object of life is to evoke and develop the god within.

Here is the solution to all social problems―

Love to God and (hu)man.

When the light becomes strong, the darkness vanishes.

Cling to the idea of immortal life.

You are immortal, without end―or beginning.

You draw to yourself the experiences, which you are ready for, and which you demand―demand more and the demand will be answered.

Speak always words of love, truth and kindness.

And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

Therefore, I say unto you, what things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them and ye shall have them.

Be at peace.

You are not your brother’s keeper.

If your brother delights in the devil, let him have the pleasure of his preference.

Will is free.

Believe in good fortune, divine guidance, right action and all the blessings of life.

Birth is the morning of a new day and death is the evening of that day.

The period between lives is the period of sleeping and dreaming.

Or you may turn it the other way and say that life is a dream and death the awakening to reality.

But the rhythm is sure.

Good manners are the imitation of kind-heartedness.

Go out on the hillside and watch the growing things.

Take a leaf from nature.

Immortality presupposes no beginning and looks forward to no end.

See God in every face.

See good in every situation.

Look to God for your good.

Trust in God for your daily supply.

Do not grieve.

Love waits for its own.

Hold fast to that which is good.

Did you ever smell a sweet perfume which you could not account for?

If so, perhaps someone who loved you was scattering invisible flowers.

How great a thing is love!

I think no man can write it down.

If you make all your decisions from a place of love, then you will never again make a wrong choice.

Love―the greatest power of all.

Love is the highest reach of philosophy and Christ is the highest reach of love.

Love is the fulfiling of the Law.

Love is stronger than death.

The love of Christ is reborn whenever a soul, in a flash of illumination, beholds that mystery in his heart.

Love to God and man―

He who can measure up to this standard will be the ideal citizen of the ideal commonwealth in any age of the world.

Love will admit you to all the heaven-worlds.

Love is the golden coin current in those worlds.

The road of initiation is a hard road for all.

Love one another―you who try to tread it.

It makes the way easier.

There is nothing in the world that anybody needs, except love and a little food, clothing and shelter.

Love will come.

All intelligence, light and power come from the soul.

There are surprises in store for the person who will deliberately set out on the quest of his soul.

Everything exists in the soul―all knowledge is there.

Grasp that idea if you can.

The infallible part ofyou is the hidden part and it is for you to bring it to Light.

The intuition of the soul will point you to the substance, which you need for your well-being.

Behind and within the air is the ether, which is substance, which is God.

And you will take it for your uses, with the consent of God, who joys in giving himself to you.

It is a rosy world, that inner world of the soul, and the heart’s desire is always found there.

Listen to the inner stirrings of your heart and give voice to the longings of the soul.

Stretch out your soul to a wider consciousness.

The (hu)man who is great enough to cast his personality overboard is not hurt by criticism.

It is only the personality that can be hurt.

The soul stands serene and pure above the adverse storms.

Only in the stillness of detachment can the soul yield up her secrets.

The soul is not a will-o’-the-wisp―it is a beacon of light to steer by and avoid the rocks of materialism and forgetfulness.

All things are possible to the human soul.

According to your faith be it unto you.

The great mistake made by most minds in wrestling with the problem of evolution is in not grasping the fact that eternity is eternity―that to be immortal is to have no beginning― or end.

Humanity on its long road has evolved many Masters.

If you demand to know what purpose there is in life, it is this very condition of the Master out of the (hu)man.

Eternity is long.

The goal is ahead for each unit of sufficient strength and those who cannot lead can serve.

If you would even try to remember―if you would only take time to consider all that you have been, there would be more hope of what you may become.

Seek the Christ in yourself that it may arise with tidings of great joy unto all men.

Ye are gods was not said in a merely figurative sense.

When you hear a rustling in the air, listen again―there may be something there.

When you feel a warmth, mysterious and lovely in the heart, there may be something there, something sent to you from a warm and lovely source.

When a joy unknown fills your being, and your soul goes out, out toward some loved mystery, you know not where, know that the mystery itself is reaching toward you with warm and loving, though invisible, arms.
