Going Beyond

If the quality of my thoughts can influence my physical health, the atmosphere around me 'n my relationships, it will definitely affect my relationship with God. Unlike physics in which dissimilar forces (positive 'n negative) attract each other, the basic principle of spirituality is that similar forces attract each other.

If my mind is caught up in cycles of negativity, the dissimilarity between me 'n God will create distance between me 'n Him. With the awareness of being a soul, a being of spiritual energy, spiritual light, I begin to have a certain amount of mastery over my own thoughts 'n their quality.

Also, the process of finishing negativity is accelerated. Just stepping away from the limited consciousness of the body 'n bodily connections (not leaving them) stops negative thinking in the same way as by just putting a switch on, a light is turned on 'n darkness finishes.

If explorers had never ventured beyond their home countries, they would have remained firm in the belief that the rest of the world simply didn’t exist. In the same way, if I allow myself to stay only within the physical 'n limited sphere of thinking, then I would declare that there is nothing beyond.

It is when I make the effort to go outside the boundaries of my previous thinking, that I have the chance of discovering more. The quest for a source of love, truth 'n beauty – the Supreme eventually brings me to the necessity of looking beyond not only my own body, but also other human beings 'n matter itself.

Through the practice of seeing the self as an eternal soul 'n disciplining my mind I create the possibility of discovering the existence 'n nature of God 'n having a deep relationship with that One.
