I've never known anyone to be as in love with her child as my friend Susan is with her three-year-old daughter, Hannah. One day she found herself driving down the street behind a truck filled with items it was hauling away, including a string of birthday balloons. Susan looked at it and thought, "Gee, that’s exactly what we need for Hannah's birthday party." At that very moment, a gust of wind came along and blew the balloons off the truck and into the street. Susan pulled her car over, carefully picked them up and proceeded to shove them all into her tiny Honda. When she arrived home and began putting them up in the backyard, her family reminded her that Hannah's party wasn't for another three weeks. "Honey, they're wonderful, but balloons won’t last that long." Staying firm in her intention to have a beautiful party for her daughter, Susan kept them up.
When we arrived at her daughter's birthday party, we were greeted by warm, loving people and a beautiful display of birthday balloons that looked as if they were blown up the day before. It was a demonstration of the miracle of pure parental love.
It has been said that parental love is the closest human analogy to the Divine’s love for us. And it does seem to correspond that when our love is pure, miracles seem to happen spontaneously.
So, where would you like a miracle in your life? Your relationship? You can start by putting aside any resentment or other “issues” for a moment, open your heart and allow a love larger than you to flow fully in the direction of your mate, your friend, your child or your relative. Then, just notice what happens next. The issues may creep back, but if you continue to practice this, you will either be led to the perfect way to resolve the issues or they will disappear on their own.
Do you need a miracle around finances? The poet Kalil Gibran told us that "money is love made manifest." Put aside what you don’t like about your job, open your heart and pour all your love into your work, whatever it may be. Keep practicing this, keep your eyes open and quite possibly a better opportunity will open up for you. Does your business or career need a miracle? Open your heart and give lovingly of your talents, your abilities and the service you provide for others. Love your customers.
Does your health need a miracle? Open your heart to love and forgive any person or situation you may be resisting or resenting. Fall in love with a Divine image of wholeness.
Then, look for a miracle. Many people tend to overlook this part. They’ll dismiss fortuitous events and healings as coincidental.
And, this is not easy work. Things and people challenge our commitment to keep our heart open. It takes practice. Start with something easy, and then notice the miracle. It will give you confidence that this works. As you progress, you will be more willing to open your heart and let pure love flow…and, in turn, more willing to allow a miracle to occur.
Here’s an affirmation you can use. I commit to love today. I open my heart and allow Pure Love to flow fully into every area of my life. I am open to miracles.
Use Your Spirit to Restore your Health
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that Stress accounts for around 75% of all doctor visits. This involves an extremely wide span of physical complaints including, but not limited to: headache; back pain; heart problems; upset stomach; stomach ulcer; sleep problems; tiredness; inability to overcome disease; accidents.
Emotional Stress is a major contributing factor to the six leading causes of death in the United States: cancer, coronary artery disease, accidental injuries, respiratory disorders, cirrhosis of the liver and suicide.
Most life-threatening diseases show up within 2 years of a stressful life event such as the death of a family member, an accident, a move or a divorce.
Since stress is such a huge contributor to health issues, you really need a consistent way to reduce stress in your life, and the effects of stress on your body, mind and spirit. There are many ways to reduce the effects of stress, you may already know some of them, like exercise and meditation. Both of these will help you deal with the stress of the day, the things that happen at work, the bills, the kids, etc.
But when your health really takes a hit, it affects more than just your body. It affects your thinking, your emotions and your spirit. Especially when you are looking for something to compliment your medical routine, or you feel like you have tried everything and have not gotten the results you wanted, you need a new acumen to add tools to your toolbox.
Reviving your spirit and getting in touch with that part of you that is directly connected to your higher power can be vitally effective in restoring your health. By correcting your thinking and emotions, you are setting in motion corrections in your physical energy as well. Miracles have happened through prayer and spirituality – and by opening up to the healing available to you through spirit, who knows what you may experience. I can assure you – it will be profound and extraordinary, and good.
Find a quiet place where you can close your eyes and not be disturbed for a few minutes. Close your eyes and focus on your breathing, allowing your mind to still and relaxing into a meditative state. Any visions, thoughts or emotions that pass through your mind, just acknowledge them, then let them go. All that matters right now is you, your breathing, your relaxation.
Imagine that deep inside of you, in your center, is a crystal. This crystal represents your emotional, physical and spiritual health. Feel yourself shrink down, down, down, getting smaller and smaller until you can fit right inside that crystal, and see the walls of the crystal around you, as though it were hollow inside and you were standing in the center. Let the walls of the crystal shelter you and protect you as you gaze at them with a new perspective.
As you see that crystal from the inside, you can see any flaws, any cracks that need repair, any angles that need correction. You can see any colors that need repainted, clarity that needs refreshed and cloudiness that begs to be wiped clean.
Here standing inside your crystal, you can see the effects of time on your spirit, emotions, thoughts, beliefs and body. From this place, become aware of the emotional issues that are making you unhealthy and keeping you from being as healthy as you want to be. You can expose the root cause for every blemish in your crystal…your life energy, your spirit.
Allow those emotions, those unresolved experiences, expressions, communications and acts to come to the surface where you can work with them. As you do, imagine that your connection to spirit, to your higher power absorbs you, it grows all around you as you stand in awe at the sheer vastness and greatness of it. Standing in the essence of that power, you feel that it is clean and pure, and you are one with that power. You are one with your creator. You are one with it’s energy. You know that this higher power holds no fear, no resentment, no anger, no worry. You know that this higher power forgives you and all others. This higher power knows only love – complete and unconditional love. That is all. As you are one with this higher power, connected to it spiritually and energetically, you feel that power, the strength, the forgiveness, the love.
Feel it healing the blemishes in your crystal. Feel it healing the old experiences, emotions, traumas, sicknesses. There is no reason for you to hold on to those things. Let them go now, and give your higher power permission to heal you. As it does, imagine the cloudiness fades, the cracks are sealed, and the crystal becomes clear and flawless.
Feel that unconditional love and imagine it continuing in your life. Let yourself just bask in those feelings. When you are ready, take a few deep breaths and open your eyes.
This can be a very powerful exercise both by yourself or with a group. It allows you to communicate directly with a healing source and really connect with it’s healing power. Use this process often, and you will find your stress decreasing, you will notice a boost in your emotional balance and may even notice an instant improvement in your physical health.
Awaken Higher Awareness Through Self-Observation
By Guy Finley
I'm sure that we can all agree that no intelligent, conscious man or woman would ever intentionally hurt him or herself. It is important that we are in agreement about this precept. No one would choose to ache. Yet the fact remains that all of us do hurt ourselves every day with bursts of anger or fits of depression or anxiety. Even at the simplest level there can be no doubt: fear and worry take an immeasurable toll on our health and well-being.
However, there is real intelligence. An inwardly awake person would never intentionally hurt himself. Self-observation is the key to developing this higher order of awareness; it is how we learn to become inwardly vigilant to our own thoughts and feelings, even as they pass through us. When we can observe ourselves in this new way our higher nature naturally prevails over any troubling thoughts or feelings that want to drag us down into their lower world.
Self-observation allows us to understand what we witness in ourselves, instead of being washed away by our reaction to it. This new and higher interior "position" -- as the observer of what unfolds around and within us -- is at once a part of the proceedings and, at the same time, untouched by them. Recall what the Christ said about "being in the world, but not of it," and you have a small idea about this most unique inner-sanctuary. When we are awake this way, we always make the right choices because we are acting from a level of consciousness that has no past investment in any event or its possible outcome. This means that it is free to select what is intelligent.
Higher intelligence cannot be bound by the momentum of accumulated desires. The silent observer within us does not think; it sees. This is an important point because in order to observe ourselves means that we can't be self-absorbed. Higher awareness through self-observation increases our field of choices, because this elevated inner-position places you high above the game and lets you see all of the players.
On the other hand, self-absorption is like being on the field. Not only can't you see all of the players, but those that you can see are more often than not slamming into you, turning you around and around until you don't know which way to run. That's the whole point: Stop running and bumping, and start seeing.
There is no greater power for self-change than self-observation because this new inner-vision alone can provide you with true self-knowledge. Being self-liberated is the same as living fully from your Higher Nature. In this lofty state you enjoy the freedom that comes with having let go of your false self. This Higher Nature rests above you. Join it. Let it guide you all the way back to your true home within yourself.
As you persist each day with this important and practical task of adding more inner light to yourself -- of making it your aim to stay up in the grandstand and out of the brawls on the field -- you may find yourself becoming increasingly disturbed by some of the negativities you are seeing within yourself down on the field. This is a good indication that you are making real progress.
You must apply the principles you have learned even to this new kind of disturbance. This uproar you are experiencing is the false self trying its best to get you into the free-for-all down on the field. Stay in the stands in your observation post. Don't be concerned with anything you may see. Remember, light need never fear any shadow, and anything you may discover within you that is frightening comes from the shadow world. Your only task is to bring it into the light of your new understanding and let it handle the rest.
Let's review this royal principle: to see yourself in this new way means that at the same moment of being aware of your physical self, you are also watching your thoughts and feelings. Your old inclination to jump in and judge yourself is also suspended in this new awareness of yourself.
Said slightly differently, self-observation is a way of being fully aware of yourself that includes being watchful of any self-concern that comes up as a result of what you see in yourself. In this unique psychological posture you remain effortlessly apart from all wrong concerns because, should any of them arise, they are treated as just something else you are seeing, not as something you are.
At first, this idea of expanded self-awareness may sound to you like a little too much going on all at once. I assure you that it is not. Once you get the feel for it, self-observation is not any more difficult than leisurely watching a juggler under the Big Top. He may have as many as six or seven assorted objects flipping and spinning all at once, but that is of no concern to you. Seeing takes no effort. You are just enjoying the performance!
And while we're speaking of performances, you will be happy to know that nothing brings the curtain down faster on the false self than this special kind of inner attention. You will see that self-observation is to our lower nature what sunlight is to a cave-dwelling bat. Just as the bat cannot stand the sun's bright rays, neither can the false self live in the light of this new and self-healing awareness.
nspirational and Trance Dance as Paths to Spirituality
Inspirational dance may become trance dance but trance dance is always inspirational but not necessarily improvisational. However, improvisational dance can lead on to inspirational dance. Inspirational dance only happens when Mind, Body and Spirit are in perfect harmony.
This harmony is a spiritual state which has nothing to do with established religion as such. It is a state in which those involved personally experience that ultimately all Paths to the Divine are one and the same. There is a stage when people realize that it is of no consequence whether they have followed the Path of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism or any other. Everyone is dancing together as the great Wheel of Life slowly rotates.
Inspirational dance can safely be undertaken alone, in a group, and in any setting. The dancer is inspired but not out of control even when the movement is strongly energetic. This form of dance leads to a feeling of " being at one" with the universe, ones- self and ones fellow men.
The dancers own body establishes a "conversation" with him or herself which can result in unexpected insights and solutions to problems for that person. There is a wordless release of emotions and pressures through the heart which bypasses the intellect. This enables deep and valuable connections to be made at the level of Mind-Body and-Spirit. The energy of the dance must suffuse the whole of the dancers body from head to toe. There is an indescribable feeling of being part of the Cosmos and of the Earth's energy.
Try an experiment! Stand with your arms at your sides. Now lift up one arm to shoulder height in a way which expresses first joy, then fear, anger, defiance, tenderness and finally love. Does each emotion give rise to a different quality of movement? Poetry, a single word, an object, a vizualization or music can all provide the motivation for both inspirational and trance dance.
Inspirational and trance dance have nothing in common with a chorus line or corps de ballet where dancers follow strictly laid down choreography and are told to "make your face" which too frequently can become a grimace. Any facial expression in inspirational or trance dance will be a true expression of the inner experience of the dancer. They are not putting on a performance for an audience.
Defining "trance dance" in words is not easy though anyone viewing dancers in this state will recognize it as such. One definition is that "a trance induced by intense religious devotion, does not show reduced bodily functions that are typical of other trances."
This state can be induced through prayer, drugs, music and incantations .Trance can happen voluntarily or involuntarily.
Trance dance is closely associated with ritual robes, special colours, regalia, music and taboos The ritual colors usually express an aspect of the deity. The regalia whether decorated with fur, feathers, jewels etc will also reveal something about the deity to the worshippers. Sometimes the dancers are completely hidden beneth voluminous garments and masks. In Africa it is traditionally only men who are masked.
Taboos before dancing can include not eating certain foods, avoidance of sexual contact and almost universally in traditional societies the non- participation of women who are menstruating - menstrual blood being considered polluting.
Trance dance seldom occurs when the person is alone. In fact it is dangerous to undertake this solo.The support of people in a non-trance state is essential to prevent the participants doing anything harmful and to bring the dancers round and back to this level of existence.
Trance dance needs to be undertaken in a group and in a controlled setting. Most usually this dance is a form of worship and the participants are believed to be possessed by spiritual powers.The form of expression may appear frenzied as in certain African and Asian shamanic dances or very contemplative and calm as in the dances of the whirling dervishes of Turkey and the Middle East.
A dancer usually has no recollection of the dance. In some dances for West African deities the worshippers so to speak "vacate" their bodies to allow themselves to become a vehicle through which the deity can express its' self and give help and guidance. In a state of trance dancers often show great stamina and physical strength. It can often take a surprising number of people to restrain a person in trance.
When I attended a "candomble " ceremony in Bahia, Brazil more than twenty years ago I was totally taken aback by the authenticity of the ceremony. At that time I was living in the part of Nigeria from which hundreds of thousands of people were taken as slaves to Bahia. I felt that I was in Nigeria not thousands of miles away. In fact at one point I felt very "strange" indeed and was aware that if I had not actively resisted I would have gone into "trance".
The most obvious difference between the ceremony in Bahia and those in Nigeria was that the worshippers had adopted quite different ritual garments and paraphenalia.
Trance dance should not be undertaken by people on their own or by those in a fragile state of mental health.
In an inspirational dance the participants are aware of the movements they are making and also of the associated physical and emotional sensations. The dancer in this case acts as a vessel into which energy can be poured but the person is aware of this happening.
Inspirational dance has much in common with sacred dance but sacred dance acknowledges a spiritual element which is not necessarily the case with inspirational dance. Trance dance in traditional societies is nearly always a form of Sacred Dance. All forms can be highly therapeutic.
How to Escape the Destruction - Conclusion
Precious jeweled lights of my eyes, you must realize the past, the present, and the future that is coming. If you realize this and conduct yourselves properly, you will escape. Destruction will be caused by atoms, fires, water, storms, gales, illusion, arrogance, caste, religion, and dogmas. Wars will increase; we will have to face different forms of attacks. These conditions are slowly spreading. Differences of caste, religions, scriptures, and color are being propagated in the hearts of human beings. Into their own hearts, people have infused darknesses, the jealousies and qualities of satan, arrogance and karmas, doubts and suspicions, and differences of color, and they are nurturing these. They have forsaken the words of God and the prophets. They have forgotten patience (sabur), contentment (shakur), and surrender to God (tawakkul). They have prepared for war and desire to kill. They hate peace, equality, and unity and have separated into factions. They will start wars for the sake of their desires for earth, women, gold, and their attitudes toward religion, caste, and color.
This is how it is going to be. It will be very difficult for us to conduct our lives properly in the times that are coming. This situation is enveloping the world like waves, storms, and gales. The concept that there is no God is spreading. Denial of truth is spreading. In academic studies, books, newspapers, and everything you see, God’s name has been omitted. Instead, they praise the names of destruction and glorify falsehood and animals. They are trying to change the nature of the true human being. They do not like the look of the human face that connects him to the human race. They desire to have the faces of rats, elephants, cats, frogs, bears, tigers, lions, ants, faces of ghosts, demons, vultures, eagles, snakes, reptiles, and so on. They consider the human face disgusting, and their greatest desire is to change it. They seem to like putting on the faces of monkeys, rats, and cats by adopting actions, qualities, or conduct of these animals. All of them are changing their forms and wearing the masks of other creatures and trying to act with their qualities, actions and conduct. Such behavior will increase even more in the times to come. People will forget and hate the qualities and life of a true human being. They will resolve to murder peace and unity. They will love animals. They will make the dogs and cats and other animals happy, while trying to murder man and hurt the hearts of human beings.
This is happening in the present times and will happen tenfold more in the future. Man has already changed to a state where he does not want to live as a human being with a human face. Next he will want to live like an animal. This state is now spreading. The idea that there is no God is being propagated. All good qualities are being destroyed. Tolerance and peacefulness are perishing and expiring. The virtuous qualities of modesty, sincerity, reserve, and fear of wrongdoing are detested. Good thoughts and prayers are being obliterated, while arrogance and differences of color are increasing. Castes and religions are flourishing, while God’s commandments are being forsaken and destroyed. Because of all this the future will bring only destruction.
We are going to be the victims of the very fire we have lit. The time is approaching when we are going to be destroyed by the fire that we are living in now. The energies and weapons that we have in our hands are going to kill us. This is certain. The prophets have taught this. Whoever picks up a sword will die by that sword, and whoever picks up a gun will die by that gun. Whatever weapon one keeps within his heart will kill him. The prophets who came earlier have told us this. Our own qualities will hurt and destroy us in the times that are approaching.
May we try to have the thoughts of God and bring His actions into our actions. May we accept that there is only One God and go on the path that leads to His kingdom. Just as all the prophets accepted One God, we too must accept One God with certainty. The prophets came as witnesses to prove this. The proof itself lies in that they all gave the same teachings—One God, one race, one family. Accordingly we must accept with certainty that all the witnesses are of the same race. We must follow the path on which all the others came and went. If we progress on this path, if we walk in the protection of God, we can escape from the dangers that are imminent.
The world will be destroyed by fires, atoms, guns, and the weapons of evil that are in man. Precious jeweled lights of my eyes, we have to realize this with absolute certainty. We must recognize the present situation and truly strive on God’s path, without forgetting His laws. If at least some of you go on this path with good qualities and good conduct, the Sustainer who protects will come and protect you. Just as He protected the prophets who are His witnesses, He will protect you too. Be reassured that God will protect you.
We need wisdom to realize what has really happened in the past. We cannot get an accurate description from the scriptures and ancient epics written by the great poets. Truly open your hearts and look. There you will see the histories of the prophets. Unfurl your hearts (qalbs) and you will see the manner in which God’s commandments were spoken. Within yourself, you will understand the explanations and commandments given in the Bible and the Qur’an. Instead of believing the words and actions depicted in the epics, be determined to open your hearts and believe in what you find there. Then you will see the proof that there is one mother, one race, and One God. It will be proved with absolute certainty that all the prophets came from the same family.
May we understand this testimony and find the path of truth. May we accept that truth, act accordingly, and follow that One alone. If we exist in that state, then we can escape from the destruction that is imminent. We can escape from the accidents that are going to happen.
Precious jeweled lights of my eyes, the time of destruction is drawing near. This state is unfurling and expanding. The hearts of human beings are changing. Fighting and separations are the weapons in people’s hands and the wealth in their hearts. In every race, this state has established itself, and because of this every religion is ready to wage war. They will fight for the sake of earth, women, and gold and seek to prove that there is no God.
Change from this state and acquire God’s qualities! Reveal the human face which is the beautiful face of God! Do not change the beautiful face that belongs to God. Do not change your face to look like bears, tigers, and lions. The face of a human being is the most exalted face, the quality of a human being is the most exalted quality, the wisdom of man is the most exalted wisdom, the thought of a human being is the most exalted thought, and the prayer of man is the most exalted prayer. The compassion shown by a true man is bestowed on all lives, the benevolence of a true man gives love to all lives, and the unity demonstrated by such a man makes all lives bow down to him. We must acquire these precious qualities that make all lives pray.
Hasn’t God created this beautiful face, these precious qualities, and the greatness of man and bestowed them upon us? We must not lose this graceful quality, this exquisite form, and divine love of God. We have come here endowed with His form of beauty, and therefore, we must live and rule in this beautiful kingdom and proceed on the right path so that we may reach the heavenly kingdom of God.
Precious jeweled lights of my eyes, may we endeavor to engage ourselves in this effort. Even though we are just a few people, may we use our wisdom with true faith (iman) and bear witness that all the prophets came from the same origin. In the same way that they came, they went back. May we open our hearts so that we may go forward on the path to the same place from which they came. May we have true faith (iman) and certitude in that One. May we understand the testimony of the prophets and follow them to that One. If we establish that state, it is certain that God will protect us in our lives. He will safeguard us from any danger. He will lift us out of any situation that might destroy us and conceal us from the eyes of others and protect us.
In the times to come, there will be racial wars and battles fought with magic. People will call the tricks of these human dogs and foxes miracles. They will call their weapons, demons, and ghosts miracles. In the times of destruction that are approaching, they will say all these energies are miracles. Precious jeweled lights of my eyes, have the assurance and certainty that Allah alone is the true miracle. Have the certitude that God is the only One who has the power to destroy all these energies. Accept that God is the Original Creator for all truths. Accept that He is our Leader, our Father who protects us. May we resolve to develop our wisdom and act truthfully. May we resolve to open our hearts and understand the secrets, the essence (dhat), and the manifestation (sifat) within and realize who we are. May we resolve to bow down to God and do service unto Him. If we accept God in this state and give all responsibility to Him, He will protect us. This is the truth. He will protect us from destruction.
The time of destruction is drawing near. Destruction is expanding and spreading. It is going to engulf this world. We are going to see the destruction. Open your hearts to escape from this destruction and accept your Father.
May we see equality in one path and see tranquility within ourselves. May we open ourselves and see God within us. We must understand that unity within ourselves. May we prepare, within ourselves, to be as one race and go to God. Precious jeweled lights of my eyes, if we do not establish this state, decisively, with absolute certainty, we too will be caught in the destruction and burned by that fire. We will be tortured by these sufferings. Therefore, may we separate from this and disappear in God. May we have certitude in God. May we accept God. May we follow His path. May we keep Him in our hearts as our protection. If we live in this state, God, the Leader who protects us and all other lives, will protect us in any situation. Amin. Amin.
Realize this with certainty. Understand the times that are to come. The world is going to change, destruction is drawing near, it is surrounding us. You must make the effort to escape from this. Amin. Every child should open his or her heart and make the effort. Allah will protect you from that destruction. He is the One to whom all praise is due (al-hamdu lillah), the One of protection. Amin. Amin.
WithInAsThru Neutrality
There is a great Taoist quote,"Seek not the truth, merely withhold opinion." In our Western culture, we just don't value neutrality of mind. We live in this world where everything has to be right or wrong, good or bad, mine or yours. But what if we could get back to our truest soul purpose for being now here, and stop worrying all together about things that don't matter? Most of us cannot even imagine a life without worry; but if we practice simply observing what is, without forming an opinion as to whether it is good or bad, we'll begin to notice how to become much more present in the here and now.
Getting in touch with what is here and now, is key to becoming who we are. And who you really are is the primary question you're here to answer, isn't it? The whole world is created out of the same thing: energy. Get back to that simple energy and you get back to yourself, without the influence of the outside world. And when you realize, that is, see with real eyes, that who you are lives withinasthru your every action, you are then able choose to be, do and have anything you want and feel whatever you desire to feel. But to feel, you must know what it is like to not feel.
Neutrality is a choice. It's a choice you make when you enter a moment. It is an expression of the evolutionary process.
Being neutral is about observing the observable. Our lives are filled with so much stimulation that demands decision; at work, in the media, in our relationships, it seems almost impossible to find a neutral place. But neutrality is a sphere of consciousness that doesn't ask for what we think. We can feel peace without guilt or pride. Because we get to set our own rules by choosing to be or not to be neutral in our seeing and listening.
You might be thinking that it would be nice to feel peace, but given the way you've structured your life, it's not likely. Or maybe it would be nice to feel love, but love just doesn't seem to find you. Perhaps you've even set up rules in your life that simply don't let you feel love. You see, when we're focused on getting all the things we want, then being who we are loses its priority. It's not our primary focus and thus doesn't get the proper intention and attention it deserves and thus it gets lost withinasthru our busy lives.
One does not have to go deep into meditation to practice neutrality. Simply observing the outside world while withholding judgment and opinion is practicing neutrality. Practice observing the observable without having to declare something as either good or bad, right or wrong begins to free you. Stay in your power so that you can be, do and have whatever you desire. From this state of mind, you're sure to enjoy life so much more.

Divine Setups
The way you know you really believe that the Universe is a friendly place and all of life is in Divine Order it is that you NEVER complain. (Do I really want to say this?) When we complain, we're saying, something's wrong here, this shouldn't be happening. It shouldn't be happening to me; it shouldn't be happening this way. Life is unfair. The universe really is unfriendly and there is no order out here. Whatever it is you are complaining about. Do you have something you are complaining about right now? I'm noticing that I complain about contractors, about what is happening around my house. I decided to let that go and see the order in the universe. But, what if it never gets changed?
You know the energy we put into complaining. I should say, "I" put into complaining. It's exhausting and it really is about not believing there's a perfect order in the universe. It believes that somebody else did something to me. This is happening, and it's happening because somebody else is not living up to what they should be doing. You see, I know how people should be living. I know how others should be running their lives and when they don't and it interferes with my life, I think there is something wrong out there. Am I the only one that thinks this way? We know the drill. Life is unfair. We may not say it in those words. But notice the words you do use when you say, "I don't want this to be happening right now."
When we decide to focus, instead, on the Divine Quality of order, we say things just don't feel right. When they don't feel right, and then I remember there is a perfect order in the universe, I can stop and say at that moment, "This really is perfect. Whatever this is." I have a friend whose husband used to say all the time, "This is it. And I am happy." Isn't that a great line? "This is it. And I am happy." So, you can't pay your bills? "This is it. And I am happy." So, you have a headache, or you get a diagnosis you don't like, "This is it. And I am happy." So, you lose your job, a friend walks out on you, your love life ends, "This is it. And I am happy." Have you had enough?
But imagine living like that. We don't believe in Divine Order. We think there is randomness in the universe and it's happening to us. We live more in victim hood whenever we believe that things are happening TO us. The reason this didn't happen is because YOU did this. Those contractors. Oh, I have my conversations with contractors all over the country. It's not just Florida. I can get agreement for anything I want to complain about. And you will too.
Notice that like attracts like. People say to me, "See, it's true. All my friends say so." Of course, your friends say so, because that's what you say and life is a mirror. We are constantly bringing agreement into our life. If we don't believe things are in order, the people in our lives won't either. Maybe you need some new people in your life that can start believing these principles with you. The Law of Attraction, like gravity, works whether you believe it or not.
There is perfection in everything. Life will constantly hand us things to manage, things to experience, things to grapple with. When we accept the Quality of Order, what it does is present us with an opportunity to experience life as a series of opportunities to go beyond the senses. Go beyond the appearances; go beyond what we are seeing and really recognize the truth behind everything. It's the opportunity to move beyond the little self that only sees the surface and live in the consciousness of our higher self. What Jung used to call our transpersonal self, that part of us that knows and knows that it knows. That part of us that experiences good, and knows there is good. Even though on some days you feel it is quite small, it really is whom you are. It really is your essence.
This week I read somewhere, "Divine set-ups are purposeful events, choreographed by our soul to create the opportunity for us to wake up." Divine set-ups? an interesting way to see life. Everything that is happening in life is by Divine set-up. We've chosen to have certain experiences. Everything has a reason; everything has a season. There's a time for every purpose under heaven. There are never any accidents in our life. And I'm talking about little things as well as the big ones. It's all happening perfectly. Nothing happens randomly. There is a perfect order in the universe.

How to Escape the Destruction: Part 2 of 3
Therefore, precious jeweled lights of my eyes, Allah alone has laid the most exalted of all paths before us. His quality is the one path. His actions, conduct, and good behavior are the one path. His trust, His justice, His three thousand benevolences with which He shows compassion, and His attributes that make each heart become aware—these are the one path. This is the one path which cautions us and makes us aware of our mistakes. That is the path of truth which leads us on the straight way, the path that connects us with Him.
Realize this, precious jeweled lights of my eyes. Escape from this time of destruction. Move away form the fires that are yet to come. The warnings of the destruction are appearing in the world now. The fires are spreading; they are surrounding us and approaching us. May we escape from them.
If we always trust in His protection, He will lift us up to Him. Precious jeweled lights of my eyes, He will protect us and keep us with Him. He will put out any kind of fire. Just as God protected Abraham (A.S.) from the fire into which Nimrod put him, He will protect us from these fires. Just as God protected Joseph (A.S.) from the well into which he was pushed, God will lift us from this well of illusion and protect us.
Have firm certitude of faith (iman) in this. Accept that there is none worthy of worship other than God, Allah. We must accept that there is none other than Allah who treats all lives equally. When praising Him people have given Him millions and millions of names. Yet He remains with that name, Allah. Above all the names of praise, He rules with the name, Allahu, which is a name of completeness and plenitude. He has ninety-nine names corresponding to His attributes, actions, and conduct, but He has kept this one name within Himself.
Creation, protection, sustenance, giving food, passing judgment, and making the final inquiry—all these attributes and actions are combined into the one name, Allah, which is kept within Him. This is the treasure in each one’s heart that never diminishes no matter how much is taken from it. It exists as the perfect completeness. This is that one name, Allah. The ninety-nine names of the Asma’ul-husna are His qualities, actions, conduct, and the duties that He performs. These are the attributes and actions that make each heart melt. But this one name, Allah, denotes His judgment and justice. It does not imply any praise. All the other names praise His attributes and His actions. He is perfect completeness and with that one name Allah we worship Him without praise. We must realize this, precious jeweled lights of my eyes.
People are causing the fires by which they, themselves, are going to be destroyed. These flames are spreading throughout the world, and the world is approaching destruction. People are causing these fires through religion and races, scriptures, dogmas, and colors. Aggression is the weapon they are holding in their hands. That is their nourishment, and that is what satisfies their hearts. The spreading of these conditions throughout the world is evidence of the coming destruction.
Enmity is the crowing glory of such people’s lives, hurting others is their joy, and killing is their peace. Attacking other people seems to give them a joy beyond joy. As the time of destruction approaches, these people will cause suffering to others simply for the sake of races and religions. They will initiate wars for the sake of earth, women, and gold and resolve to destroy the world for the sake of their own kindred. All their effort will be directed toward these wars and will cause the destruction. They will have hatred for goodness, the prescribed rules of God, good behavior, and love. They will try to destroy all of these and instead give a place of importance to the ‘I’. They will try to destroy peace, compassion, and equality and place importance in race. They will destroy truth and give great eminence to ‘mine’. They will love falsehood and obliterate truth, burning it to ashes.
Each race in human society will propagate in this way. These attitudes will increase in the times of destruction. The concepts of peace, equality, justice, considering other lives as one’s own, considering one’s neighbor as oneself and believing that all lives should live with peace and tranquility will not be in people’s hearts (qalbs), looks, faces, hands, or bodies. These thoughts will fly away from them. Arrogance, pride, ego, ‘I’ and ‘you’, differences, murder, and sin will be the weapons in their hands, the crown on their heads, and the prayer in their hearts. In this way, karma is spreading throughout their blood, skin, and flesh.
Karma, arrogance, wrath, differences of ‘I’ and ‘you’ are the qualities that are spreading in the world. As a result, people are seeking to discover more subtle weapons and greater fires of destruction. They will create these weapons through ignorance and the knowledge of science. Technologies will be developed to destroy human beings, their unity, and the world. There will be no peace in the hearts of these aggressors. When someone speaks about equality, they will beat that person and try to kill him. When someone speaks of peace, they will try to beat, destroy, and kill that one too. If someone else mentions God, they will seek him out and kill him. If another person speaks of faith, they will deliberately attack him. If someone speaks of prayer, they will say, “Whose is this prayer?” and try to attack him and chase him away.
This is how it will be; these people will hate anyone who speaks of good thoughts and good conduct. If a person wants to live with good thoughts, good conduct, and peace, they will try to chase him away. If one speaks of justice and laws, they will hate him and try to kill him. If truth is revealed, they will despise it and chase that person away. In place of truth, they will accept with delight and happiness whatever can change the nature of man; things such as mantras, tricks (tantras), magics, intoxicants, and drugs like marijuana and opium. All that is evil will be desirable to them, and all that is good will be detestable to them.
In the approaching times, the number of such people will increase. They will be in the majority. These qualities will develop in man, and they will be the weapons that will destroy the truth and topple the world. We must realize that this is going to happen. These people will destroy the world through the energies of water, fire, air, atoms, and many weapons. Destruction will be caused by their desire for earth, women, and gold. Many such situations are presently developing in the world and leading us to destruction. Lands are being captured. Pride and arrogance are flourishing. This state is already forming in the hearts of human beings. It is oozing in their hearts, hands, and bodies as blood. These people are so determined that they will suffer without food or water and even die for these ideas. Those are their food and water, and their thirst.
Each race, religion, and dogma is readied for war. They all have the same war in their hearts; their eyes, sights, and thoughts have all developed this way. Therefore, it will be very difficult for peace to exist in the world. It will be difficult to have the state of equality and serenity. The society of man will be focused only on creating its own destruction.
Children, who are the precious jeweled lights, we must follow the path of God. We must try to live in God’s protection with absolute certitude. We must accept God’s path and go on the straight path in the way the prophets told us. We must be determined to go on this path with melting hearts. All the prophets came bringing the words of One God. They came to teach His commandments. Although many prophets came, they all came as the children of one Adam (A.S.). They came from One God and taught the people how to progress step by step, teaching them further and further. God sent one level of teaching through one prophet, then the next level through the next prophet, and yet another level through another prophet. According to the needs of man, God continued to send prophets with greater and greater clarity. God sent His prophets to teach man step by step and raise his level of wisdom. God sent great seers, messengers (rasuls), and prophets to make us aware of truth step by step and cause our wisdom to grow. He sent them as messengers to warn us and to be witnesses to His truth.
The prophets were the bearers of the messages that were sent by God. They came to give testimony to the existence of God. They, themselves, are the proof that God exists. They came as witnesses from God and taught wisdom to man step by step. This is what happened. There are no divisions between the prophets. There are no such divisions in God’s kingdom. Truth and equality have no divisions. All the prophets came only as witnesses of God and not as individuals. They came as witnesses of God’s existence in order that we may establish our connection to Him. They came to testify to the connection between God and us. They came to tell us of the qualities and actions of God. They came to reveal to us and teach us about God, His actions, and truth. All the prophets came as witnesses in common, to prove the existence of One God. They did not come to separate us. They did not come to bring religions. They came to make us realize that One God.
We must realize this, precious jeweled lights of my eyes. If we realize this state we will see One God, one prophet, one race, one witness, one state, one kingdom of God, one family of mankind. Precious jeweled lights of my eyes, realize this with true wisdom. Open your faith (iman) and your heart (qalb), look, and accept this. When you look at separations, what results from them? Battles and wars. The world will be happy with killings. The world will hate that which truly nurtures and protects us. The world will change in this way. It will be good for you to accept the truth and go on the path of God. Then He will protect you. It is certain that He will protect you just as He protected the prophets.

Soul Choices and The Law of Attraction
Wouldn't it make sense to believe that if there is an order in the universe, there is also an order to the events in our lives? There is order in our physical body, and order in the universe, so how could things happening in our life just be random? Do you think things just happen in life? Are we out there as the victim of circumstances? Whatever just shows up? I have nothing to do with it.
A belief in Divine right order is knowing that everything that is happening in our life is happening because of what we need to experience in order to grow and change. There is a part of us - our true selves, our souls - that seems to know what it is we need in order to reach that ultimate goal of enlightenment. Therefore, somehow consciously or unconsciously, mostly unconsciously, that part of us orchestrates our life so that certain events happen to support that growth. In addition, many of those events are not necessarily the hardships of life. Is that where your mind went? I am also talking about all the great stuff. Look at how wonderful this is, look at how well this fell into place - look at the great things that I have had.
I am not saying that life is pre-ordained. It is not about something happening that was known before. We know that life is all about the law of attraction and that works on our choice. Therefore, what I am talking about is that our soul, or our highest self, has and makes choices to bring every experience that we need into our life. Breathe with that. If you really truly accept that, what is going to happen in your life?
Isn't that a sense of relief? I called this into my life. I called this here right now because it is the perfect experience for me to get to my next level. Whatever it looks like. We do not define: I like this experience, and I do not like that one. This is a good one, and this is not a good one. That is living two powers - this is Order and this is not. When I like it, it is in Divine Order, and when I don't, well?
Where did that come from? Nothing happens in our life that is not in divine order. Nothing. This is one to ponder. Do I believe that? Einstein once said that the deepest question we could ask ourselves that determines the entire events of our life is the answer to the question, "Do I believe that the universe is a friendly place?"
That is an interesting way of saying, "Do I believe that everything is in perfect order?" It is the same question. Do I believe that the Universe is just going to randomly hand me some bad luck; occasionally I am going to have some things happen that I do not want to happen, because the universe is out to get me? Alternatively, do I believe that I live in a benevolent universe? Do I live under the protection and the absolute knowing that all is Good? That all is God? Everything is perfect. Perfect according to Law that is, not perfect the way I think should be.
How do you know that you really believe that? Some of you are probably saying, "I don't know if I believe that. I'm not sure I believe that." That is something to ponder. It is innate in you to believe. By the way, faith is not a gift that some people have and others do not. It is a gift we all have but we need to experience it by using it. Another one to ponder. It is not something you go out and get; it is something you just use.
So, suppose you decide this week to believe this? What if, just this week only - unless you choose to go beyond that? You choose to believe that every single event, experience, person, conversation, everything that happens is in the perfect divine order to happen. In addition, if you are finding things you do not like, guess who can change them, when you believe you can. If you believe that the universe is doing it to you, and you have no control and there is no order in the universe, then you might as well give up because there is nothing you can do about it. However, if you really believe there is a perfect order and that your soul is experiencing and expressing exactly what you want, you will have a different experience.
Therefore, the way you know you really believe it is that you NEVER complain. (More about that in the next article.)

How to Escape the Destruction: Part 1 of 3
To all the prophets we give our greetings of peace, our salams. May the peace, the beneficence, and the blessings of God be upon them. (As-salamu ‘alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu kulluhu.)
We also give our greetings and our supplications (salawat) to the angels. May the peace, the beneficence, and the blessings of God be upon them too. (As-salamu ‘alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu kulluhu.) I testify that none is god except God. (Ash-hadu al-la ilaha ill-Allahu.) Blessings be upon them all. (As-salatu was-salam.)
In the name of Allah the Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. (Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim.) The 124,000 prophets came to this world and brought the explanations that were given to them by God, the Lord Almighty’s (Allahu ta ‘ala Nayan) divine words of grace. They taught about the creation, this world, and the hereafter (awwal, dunya, and akhirah). Some people accepted these teaching and some did not. Many opposed them and many more just did not want them.
All the messengers (rasuls), the prophets, and the angels Jibril, Mika’il, Israfil, and ‘Izra’il (peace be upon them all) asked of God, “The destruction of the world is drawing near. Please dispel the times of destruction and make the times of eternal life (hayat) be complete. Allahu, please strengthen people’s faith (iman) and hearts and give them certitude. Amin.”
In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. (Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim.) May the peace, the beneficence, and the blessings of God be upon us. (As-salamu ‘alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu kulluhu.)
O God, the One of limitless grace and incomparable love, may You protect us with Your grace. O Mighty One who has no comparison, no parallel, may You protect us with Your grace. O Mighty One who has no equal and no helper, may You sustain us. Amin. O One of perfect completeness, may You sustain and protect us with Your grace. The One who has no separations, no form, no shape, the One who is beyond religions and has no differences, the One who has no relations, the One who does duty with compassion, the benevolent One, Allah, may You send down Your benevolent grace and shower us with Your blessings. May You protect us from the destruction of the world and the worries of the world. Amin.
May You give us Your heart (qalb) which protects us. With Your benevolent and gracious looks, open Your eyes of grace and protect us. Amin. Your benevolence is our treasure; other than that we have nothing else. Amin.
In the name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. (Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim.) May the peace of God be with you. (As-salamu ‘alaikum.) Precious jeweled lights of my eyes, my rightful children, my loving children, born with me, jeweled lights of my heart (qalb), my precious brothers and sisters, may we pray to God that we have an eternal life without death. With courage, may we resolve to escape from destruction and to separate ourselves from evil. May we join with goodness and dwell within God, the Good One, without ever separating from Him. May we search for truth and its benefits. May we have certitude in and a love for prayer, so that we may separate from ourselves this destructive world and live in the love and protection of Allah. Amin. May You protect us with Your grace.
Precious jeweled lights of my eyes, we must have certitude in Allah alone. With courage, may we intend to live without separating from Him, to hold onto Him and trust in Him alone, to die within Him and disappear in Him, and to live under the benevolent gaze of His eyes in all situations and in all thoughts. May we cut away our thoughts and differences and live with His thoughts and dwell in His love. May we intend to be held within the look of His eyes and live with Him.
We must have the fortitude to live in this way, my brothers. This state will be a protection for us. There are many imminent dangers in the times to come. Many accidents will occur. Such times are drawing near. The time when we shall destroy ourselves and reduce the world to ashes is coming closer and closer. These events are spreading and the time of destruction is drawing near. With courage we must intend to escape from such times and live in Allah’s protection. If we accept the inevitability of these events and if we trust in God and fully realize Him, if we bow down to His feet and accept Him alone, then He will protect us from these dangers.
The world is going to be burnt to ashes; the time is approaching. May we endeavor to escape from that fire and live in the coolness of Allah’s protection. Precious jeweled lights of my eyes, you must make the effort to do this. Open your hearts and pray to God with firm certitude. Be determined to live in His kingdom. Separate from the kingdom of hell. Conceal yourselves from the kingdom of illusion, of maya, and come into the kingdom of light. Separate from the differences of religion and follow God’s religion which is the straight path.
God is One, our Father is One. He is our religion, our way. Our Father’s path is the only way, the only religion for us. That is the path. Hold on to that path and seek Him as your protection. He protects through His angels (mala’ikat) and enlightened ones (oils). He has given them exalted and glorious heads and hands and the ability to dispel wars. God has given the power to protect us to Jibril (A.S.), Mika’il (A.S.), Israfil (A.S.), ‘Izra’il (A.S.), and the other angels.
If we stay on the true path, if we open it and follow Him, that will be the good religion, the path of grace, the path of truth. That religion is the path on which we follow Him. There is only one path that goes from this world to the hereafter (dunya to akhirah), and that is the path were there is no ‘I’ or ‘you’. That is the good religion, the path of truth, the one path. It is like an atom within an atom, a subtlety within subtlety. It is a path of light.
There is only one such path, but there are many paths of illusion, of maya. There are many paths that go to hell. Realize this. All the other paths are fires of destruction. Go beyond these. The blazing fires, the gales and storms, the rains, thunder, and glitters are striking from all directions, combining the cause destruction. God’s path is the only one that protects. The other paths collide with one another and thus destroy and burn one another. One path will try to eat the other and finish it. In the end only ashes will remain. All these other paths will be destroyed by fire, water, air, ether, and illusion, or maya. They will be destroyed by religions and races and become fire.

Breaking Down Numerology
Numerology is the use of numbers and number combinations in divination. Numerology is often used as part of psychic readings. Each number corresponds to a meaning. They also correspond to the letters of the alphabet. It is though these meanings and correspondences that numerology is interpreted and charts are made for divination.
The numbers used are zero through 10. Any number larger than 10 is broken down by adding the two digits of the number together to get a single digit number. The following explains the generally accepted meanings of the number zero through ten:
0- everything and nothing all at once
1- singular, individual
2- balance, pair
3- communication
4- creation
5- action
6- responsibility
7- the mind, thought
8- power
9- the end
10- begin again
The meanings of the numbers vary often according to each numerologist. However, in general the above meanings are a good representation of the number meanings that are most often used. Sometimes the numbers 11 and 22 are assigned special meaning as prime number that represent the most important and meaningful numbers in numerology.
The numbers also are related to the letters of the alphabet. For this numbers 1 through 26 are used. Usually in numerology reports a persons name is written out then labeled with number for each letter. The numbers are then added together and brought down to a digit between one and ten. For example:
Sue becomes the number 18/20/5
18 becomes 9
20 becomes 2
5 stays as 5
Then it is added: 9+2+5=16
The answer, 16, is reduced to a single digit of 7
This is the basis of translated words into numerology. It is an important part of the process, though and something every numerologist needs to know.
Numerology charts are often done for one person or can be made to compare two people, such as in a relationship. Numerology reports often tell about the inner workings of a person or relationship.
A numerologist has to be able to make the connection between letters and number, as well as be able to add and interpret the meanings behind the results of their work. Numerology reports are often long and take quite a bit of time to finish. Reports are often based upon the name and date of birth of a person. The name and date of birth are broken down into various equations that each mean something different.
A numerologist should only need the basic information, name and date of birth, to complete a natal numerology chart. For more complex charts they may need additional information. Relationship charts require the names of both individuals and their birth dates and may require the date of the anniversary, depending on the reading to be done.
Numerology requires a lot of skill to be able to remember all the corresponding details of numbers and letters. A numerologist also has to learn the different meanings of the numbers and the different formulas for coming up with the results of a reading. It can take some time to learn numerology, but it is not as difficult as it may seem. A good numerologist will be able to explain the process to their clients and be able to answer any questions they may have.
Numerology is a form of divination and can be used on a smaller scale with other forms of divination like tarot readings or rune casting. Numbers have always held special meanings and they can add depth to a tarot reading or rune casting. Many psychic readers associate numbers with their readings, as sometimes they may receive messages in the form of numbers.

Runes Can Be a Guide For Life’s Tough Times
Runes are based upon an old German alphabet. Runes are generally small stones. They can be any size, shape or color. Sometimes they may even be carved on sticks. Runes are used often in divination practices. They are comparable to Tarot card where they can not exactly predict the future, but rather give an explanation of events that could happen.
When using runes for divination it is important that the rune caster, the person doing the reading, has some intuitive power. The runes can give basic information, but when it comes to the details that is up to the rune caster.
It is also important that during a rune reading that a person understands that rune casting is not going to tell them their future. Instead runes can give a person an idea of what may happen should nothing in their current situation change.
Runes are read by casting them onto a cloth or the ground. The rune caster usually keeps their runes in a bag. They reach into the bag and take out runes until they have the amount they need for the layout they are doing. They then proceed to interpret what the runes are saying.
During a reading it is important for the person getting the reading to remain focused on their question. It is the power of the person and the rune caster that leads to the answers in the runes.
There are 24 different runes. Each has its own distinct meanings. Like tarot cards, though, runes can mean different things in different situations and it is up to the rune caster to decide what a rune means in any given situation. The surrounding runes or the placement of a rune in a layout can all change the meaning of the rune.
It is important when getting a reading with runes that a person chooses someone who is skilled with runes. The rune caster needs to understand the runes and their meanings. They should not have a hard time reading the runes, but rather be able to tell what they mean and explain them completely and effortlessly. The rune caster should also not guarantee that everything the runes say will happen. They should not make promises at all. They should explain that the runes are to be used as a guide only and not as a way to see the future.
As with any form of psychic reading, runes are often subject to critics. Many argue with the idea that runes cannot give a definite future fortune. That is not the idea behind runes, though. They are merely a guide that can explain what may happen and how to change things to make a better future. Sometimes they may be right and tell exactly what will happen. Other times they may be off. It is not a definite situation, which often gives critics fuel to say they are not real and that they cannot be used in divination. The problem with critics is that they want a simple answer. They want something written in stone. That is not possible, though, because the future is ever changing and is not written in stone itself, so that is why it is impossible to tell someone’s future.
Runes are a great divination tool. Someone who knows how to use them correctly and is knowledgeable about their meanings can give a very good rune casting. They can be used to answer a range of questions and really aid a person in a tough situation. The future, however, is not written in stone, so even the most skilled rune caster cannot guarantee that what comes up in a rune casting will definitely happen. Instead the runes should be used as a guide. They should be looked at as a way to work through problems and get advice on certain life situations.
