The purpose of the Spirit Affinity is the promotion of spiritual awakening and optimal health among adults regardless of religious affiliation or background. The Spirit Affinity is centered on the concept that human spirituality is a form of sensuality~the use of all of the senses (not just the basic 5) to experience both worlds seen and unseen. Sensuality encompasses both the natural and the supernatural elements vital for the balance between body, mind, and spirit.
At some point during my adult years, I looked back on my life and realized I was a fraud. My physical world was drastically out of alignment with my spiritual one. It was similar to cooking an elaborate meal while starving, but not being able to consume it. I grew up in a very strict Christian setting dominated by Southern Baptist doctrines. Church every Sunday, choir, usher board, trustee board, Sunday school, morning service, evening service... the environment was filled with bible-toting scripture-quoting tongue-speaking hallelujah shouting folks! Fortunately, I was exposed to many people of integrity and positive influences that instilled in me priceless values. My parents emphasized education until it was drilled into my psyche. On the flip side, I was fed a lot of half-truths, partial truths, and altered truths by so-called well-meaning people. Ignorance, closed-mindedness, pride, & arrogance are likely some of the causative factors. Therefore, I impersonated what a Christian should look and act like based on deficient information. There was no valid connection between the worldly me and my higher self. I impersonated what a Christian should look and act like, but I had no real relationship with my Creator. I prayed to a God I was told to pray to quoting the prayers I was taught to quote. Like a soldier taking orders from his commanding officer: You do as you are told and trained to do whether you are feeling it or not!
Out of Nowhere
I am not sure what event triggered my self-realization, yet it was life-transforming. The process is nowhere near complete rendering an ongoing journey. A crucial part of my being that was sleep woke up and jolted me to the core. Sadly, many people live their whole lives and depart without recognizing that crucial element. My recognition of that element catapulted my mind to a higher wave length. There was a burst of clarity illuminating my understanding of almost everything.
One major area of enlightenment is human sensuality--the mother of physical intimacy. The religious forums that dominate the media treat it like it is nonexistent (unless a scandal hits the news) or something to shun from discussion. In contrast, sensuality should be celebrated and promoted within a God-ordained context. Consequently, inner eyes open, new ideas blossom, paradigms shift, and higher consciousness ensues.
Spiritual enlightenment brings about intelligence and inner peace. It is not about being a Biblical scholar or expert on religious topics because I am neither--far from it! I started this blog not just to disperse information, but to gain knowledge and expand my horizons. It is truly about making a connection with God who leads us to connecting with deeper aspects of ourselves. Those deeper aspects make up the true self...not our careers, bank accounts, personal possessions, or physical bodies.
Our Eclectic Universe
The physical universe is evidence that the Creator loves diversity. A child of the universe, planet Earth, clearly follows suit with its potpourri of life forms. Within the same life form is remarkable variation ( different species of fish, plants, human racial groups, etc). Does it not stand to reason diversity is expressed on every level of existence/consciousness? It does not matter if you are Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, etc. because you are a different expression of the same universe. Different cloths of fabric are required to construct the quilt. I discovered that all religions contribute knowledge and perspectives that are necessary to complete life's masterpiece. It seems as if everyone has a piece to the puzzle of the universe that may never be fully explained on this realm.
The paths we choose to take to self-realization are possible through the gift from God called freewill. I have discovered there are far more similarities than differences between the major philosophies that lend more support of each other than contradiction. Besides, I dare to count the numerous contradictions that exist just within the Christian faith. Historical and present events demonstrate other religions are plagued with the same multiple interpretations/variations. At one time, the news was flooded with horror stories of conflicts between the Sunni and Shiite Muslims...there is only one Quran is there not??? No one, no science, no religion has escaped the divisiveness of multiple perspectives. Conflicting interpretations give birth to confusion, disbelief, and disillusionment.
One will be greatly distracted if not focused on their own inner voice. It's the God inside of you and me. Ultimately, that is the key: Hearing your own inner voice because once that occurs everything else falls into place.
Our entire universe reflects diversity. It is no mistake. At the center of the vast differences is a single geometric equation that unites all of creation.
Our diversity reflects the infinite expressions of God...respect it.
To hate someone different from yourself is to hate God...and yourself.
Our planet is being destroyed by hatred.
The human species is self-destructing from the fear of diversity. Fear brings about division.
Embracing our diversity brings about unity. There has never been a civilization that has survived without unity.
In spite of our differences, we must find common ground to cultivate the seeds of human progression.
The one & only hope for our

Promotion of Love Through Universal Music It has been scientifically proven that sound waves created our universe and can rejuvenate every aspect of our being. Binaural tones serve as an excellent therapy for the heart chakra.
It is a powerful spiritual energy in the form violet light. Physically, it is the highest frequency on the spectrum of visible light. Spiritually, it represents ascension or transmutation of consciousness. Violet energy is a fusion of pink, blue, and golden light rays.
Where does it come from?
It is created when our female godliness is in balance with our masculine godliness (Yin/Yang). The traditional view of God as a male deity has always been misleading. True divinity encompasses both male and female energies. Female spirituality is seen as pink light representing love, compassion, and the ability to nurture. Male spirituality is seen as blue light representing power, authority, and self-direction. When the two are in sync, the highest form of godliness is activated in the form of golden light.
What does it do?
When the violet flame is accessed, it can transform bad karma into the good. It holistically heals mind, body, and soul as well as facilitating transcendence to higher consciousness. Violet light purifies the being of negative energy by converting it to positive energy increasing the frequency of vibrations (universal law of transmutation). Violet light represents all the ingredients of the good karma tonic-compassion, forgiveness, and gratitude. The magic of alchemy emerges from its powers rejuvenating the most damaged souls and deep-rooted pains.
How do I access the violet flame?
The best way is through relaxation, meditation, and visualization. Once the mind is quiet and the breathing is steady, visualize a pure violet flame engulfing your entire being with pure love. Immerse yourself in its warmth and beauty and become one with it. It is not just light, it is consciousness that is you and the entire universe! Be sure to have a clear awareness of the things you want to fix and repair in your life and allow the violet flame to engulf them, such as personal traits, people, and/or situations that are harboring negativity. As you visually spread the light over the specific areas of your life, repeat out loud a decree that supports what you are trying to achieve. For example, "The violet light of my essence engulfs, purifies, and rejuvenates my entire being, my health, my finances, my personal relationships and every aspect of who I am." Be sure to keep your emotions positive and focused on the divine energy.
Long-Term Effects
The repeated visualizations and positive affirmations will manifest the benefits of the violet flame into your physical reality. The full benefits of violet healing can only be recognized through consistent practice. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle while incorporating other healing rituals, such as yoga, will maximize its benefits. In addition, your spiritual growth and enlightenment will soar to new levels. There is a very high likelihood that the quality of your life will be significantly improved.
It is scientifically proven that colors can impact our mood, thought processes, and mental health. In what ways other than visual meditation can the various colors be used to promote holistic health?
Susan has been fasting and praying for a financial blessing for numerous years. It has been her primary focus and dominates her thoughts. She is a Christian, reads her Bible daily, and faithfully attends church every week. Sunday after Sunday, her pastor shouts, "Hang on, your breakthrough is coming!!!" However, years later, it still has not happened and Susan is losing faith.
Kevin is battling a health condition that he has suffered for most of his life. In spite of his ongoing health issues, he maintains a positive outlook. He studies Eastern based spiritualism and believes the power of his mind creates his reality. As a result, he routinely practices a variety of techniques that promote higher consciousness and healing. After an extended period of time, Kevin is losing patience because his health problems seemingly are not improving.
What is going on???
Ancient wisdom teaches us the law of attraction: We draw to us what we focus on. Our emotions, thoughts, and words are manifested into physical reality. All of us have daily experiences supporting mind over matter. In contrast, many individuals complain that they have prayed, wished for, and concentrated on something fervently for an extended time, yet, it still has not manifested. As a result, they lose faith and hope, become bitter, and question their spiritual beliefs.
"Everything we do echoes into eternity."
Marcus Aurelius
The Universal Law of Cause and Effect aka Karma: Everything we do in the natural realm sends energy throughout the supernatural realm that returns back to us. The principle of reaping what you sow has been taught since the earliest civilizations by notable philosophers, major religions, and is supported by quantum physics.
Positive Versus Negative
The Universal Law of Polarity: The universe is energy that exists on 2 opposite poles. Simply stated, everything that exists has an opposite version...high frequency versus low frequency. Everything, including our emotions and thoughts will gravitate toward one pole or the other. The universe is a conscious entity striving to maintain balance between opposing forces.
Mind Elevation
The Universal Law of Perpetual Transmutation: Higher frequency energy overpowers lower frequency energy. Isn't that great news? Higher frequency energy vibrates at a faster rate. Elevating our consciousness to increase vibrations is the key to anything we desire in life. The techniques to achieve high frequency or Christ consciousness may vary based on spiritual beliefs, but all accomplish the same goal. Jesus Christ of the New Testament Bible is a perfect example of mastering perpetual transmutation.
Yin and Yang
The Universal Law of Gender: Everything that exists has both masculine and feminine traits. Masculine and feminine is not limited to the sexual differences in animals. It represents all opposite properties that complement each other within the same entity, such as light and darkness. There must be a balance and harmony for positive things to manifest.
Just like us, the universe strives to create ideal circumstances for its existence. The interplay of the universal laws in cosmic balance is the reason for every situation. There is no religion or belief system that can escape that reality.
The following are plausible and scientific based explanations of why your breakthrough still has not arrived:
You are not adequately prepared for what you are wishing for. Manifesting a reality you are not ready for disrupts balance. The circumstances in your life may not support or accommodate your desires. Your higher self is not restricted by time and already knows the future. It is lining up your ducks in a row to create the ideal yin/yang situation. It may take time to set the necessary things in place.
You are not in the right season. The spirit realm does not operate within time, but in seasons according to the universal law of rhythms. There are patterns and cycles in nature that must be honored. You might be praying for something that should occur at a different phase in your journey. The higher energy will be shifting in your life to create balance. When the appropriate season rolls around everything will fall into place.
The Butterfly Effect: What happens to the singular resonates throughout the collective experience. The universal law of divine oneness governs this process. Like a chain reaction, the events within the life of an individual impacts every other life on the planet and beyond. In the same manner that the individual may not be prepared, the collective may not be ready either. There must be a coordination of circumstances set into place...harmony.
Your focus is not in alignment with your life's mission. Your life naturally gravitates toward alignment with your higher purpose. Creating a reality contrary to that will disrupt the yin/yang. In this situation, it is best to let nature takes its course. Until you discover your life's mission, you will concentrate on the wrong things. However, when you know what you came here to do, your feelings and thoughts will be in harmony with your higher self.
The reality created by previous consciousness has not completed it course. What we are presently experiencing is the result of karma from previous states of energy. Our current emotions, thoughts, and actions must surpass the threshold of the previous ones. That may take awhile depending on the power of your consciousness. According to the universal law of perpetual transmutation, raising our vibrations will facilitate manifestation.
Curses, spells, and black magic zapping your power. Scary stuff! Whether you believe in it or not, it is actively practiced around the world. The general purpose of curses and spells is to manipulate the reality of other people. Scientifically, it is very low vibration energy being directed at a person. That energy is spiritual in nature designed to override the recipient's mental powers. Raising the vibrations of one's consciousness will repel the lower vibrations based on the law of perpetual transmutation.
All of creation operates within the boundaries of divine purpose and cosmic laws. Once we understand how those rules apply to our existence, there will be no limits on what we can achieve! The mystery schools of ancient times knew this information in detail and it was considered sacred. If someone has been waiting a long time for something and doing all the right things, please continue to do so. Be patient and keep the positive energy flowing. Your situation will rearrange itself accordingly for your maximum benefit within the boundaries of the universal frontier.
“Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.” Bashar
What strategies can a person use to remain focused, patient, and motivated during long waiting periods? How does one's spiritual beliefs impact the specific rituals practiced in achieving his or her goals? If you practice a particular religion, how does it compare and contrast with the scientific explanation on how our reality is manifested? If you are an atheist, how does your view on reality manifestation compare and contrast with spiritual views?
It is easy for us to get caught up in the rat race of modern fast-paced living. In order to function in a hectic society we must, in turn, adopt a hectic lifestyle, particularly in the busy cities. Technology, although propelling the human race forward, has created a more complicated environment that is increasingly difficult to navigate. The simplicity that births calmness and serenity has been degraded and outright obliterated. Acquiring a higher consciousness and perception requires stillness, self-reflection, and serenity. Unfortunately, the madness generated from functioning in a hectic society detaches us from our inner spiritual world...where universal wisdom, peace, and the divinely perfect versions of ourselves live. In other words, a huge number of people on the planet are operating at much lower frequencies than nature intended. The staggering and growing incidents of mental, physical, and social illnesses are evidence of a lower frequency existence. A busy hectic lifestyle does not support the stillness and serenity necessary for spiritual growth.
Universal Truths
Our outer world (physical) is a reflection of our inner world (spiritual). The outer world is temporary, but the inner world is infinite.
The reality we see out there originates from the reality inside of us.
Higher consciousness and perception lead us to our inner reality and spiritual growth.
Higher consciousness and perception is energy vibrating at higher frequencies.
Every conscious human being on the planet has the ability to elevate their frequencies through connection with their inner spiritual world...the true self, the higher dimensions, and the infinite source of everything.
Spiritual alignment is not difficult, but requires a deliberate course of action.
Calgon Take Me Away!!!
First and foremost, make a decision to set aside time out of a busy schedule to do the things that promote your spiritual alignment, such as meditation, spending more time outdoors in nature, listening to therapeutic music, and various other practices; Incorporate those activities into your daily routine.
Any stress relieving activity promoting calmness increases our vibrations and heals chakra energy.
Heightened perceptions happen by way of the pineal gland in the brain (third eye). Eat a healthy diet, maintain physical fitness, and get adequate rest.
Eliminate as much negativity as possible from your life, including thought patterns, people, and situations that don't enhance you.
Simplify your life as much as possible by removing clutter and reorganizing your environment when necessary.
Always remember that our earthly existence has a specific purpose and mission to accomplish. The sustainment of modern societies is materialism which distracts people from their higher purposes. Of course, materialism serves a role by sustaining our physical existence, shelter, food, clothing, etc. However, it is not the reason why we exist. The source of any divine mission is from the spiritual realm. The focus is to raise the vibrations of the world we live in.
You are the universe having a human experience.
Make it the absolute best it can be.
In what ways do you feel the environment you live in (big city, small town, rural, etc.) has impacted your spiritual journey?
When you hear the term "universe" what do you immediately visualize? Most people think of the cosmos or the material universe---the void of space, galaxies, constellations, etc. In reality, the universe is various frequencies of energy that manifest both the material and the non-material. Also included are the quantitative realities that subdivide our universe. In general, it consists of distinct and organized patterns or expressions evolving from one source~the Flower of Life.
As New Age spirituality evolves, the viewpoint of traditional religion on the nature of God is being challenged. It is interesting that what is labeled New Age is actually a very ancient school of thought. Most every New Age guru or occultist utilizes ancient teachings that predate the sacred books of the major religions, such as the Christian Bible.
There are 2 general perspectives on the topic of this discussion that umbrella almost every religious/spiritual belief system:
1. Panentheism-God is a separate entity from the universe. The universe is a creation or an expression of the Creator, but not the divine being. Therefore, the universe is not eternal and can come to an end. The universe operates under the direction of its Creator who can alter or change the rules at will. The parting of the Red Sea in the Book of Exodus represents such a God.
2. Pantheism-God is the universe itself and all its many manifestations. God, aka the Creator, is not distinct from the creation, but operates as the creation, including you and me. The pantheist views God as an organic machine that must follow the laws of nature. Everybody and everything is God which are infinitely guided by the universal laws.
"We know from science that nothing in the universe exists as an isolated or independent entity."
Margaret J. Wheatley
"Not only are we in the universe, the universe is in us..." Neil deGrasse Tyson
"I Am that I Am." Exodus 3:14 Old Testament, The Holy Bible
The major viewpoints on the nature of God have been presented. In the face of objectivity, quantum mechanical findings provide more support for the Pantheistic theory. At the same time, one could assume that the energy that designed the Flower of Life geometry is a distinct conscious entity. At the end of the day, living a life that radiates positive energy is the key that opens the door to anything we will ever need to know. A quote from Buddha eloquently sums it up:
"I do not care to know your various theories about God. What is the use of discussing all the subtle doctrines of the soul? Do good and be good. And this will take you to freedom and to whatever truth there is..."
Lately, there has been a lot chatter about the possibility of extraterrestrial life and the likelihood of actual contact. Yikes!!! Sightings of UFOs and other celestial anomalies are becoming commonplace reported from around the world. The topic of otherworldly life has been placed on the round tables during publicly reported conferences of government and elite organizations...one can only imagine the private meetings that are occurring. NASA discovers new planetary systems and related astronomical information on a daily basis. Landmark findings of the Mars Exploration Rover, such as the presence of water, fascinate us with the possibility of life on alien soil. The quest for finding earth-like and/or human friendly planets appears on the forefront of scientific headlines. Conspiracy theorists, media analysts, and self-appointed experts are advising citizens to be prepared for official announcements of otherworldly encounters.
There has been all types of speculations on the nature and purpose of beings from another world. Most relevantly, how their interaction with our planet would play out in reference to safety and global agendas.
At the end of the day, it makes no sense to obsess and worry about over-inflated concerns on extraterrestrial topics. The overall scenario of any extraterrestrial life is out of our physical control.
The most precious wisdom that can be bestowed is the achievement of humanitarian unity with each other.
I am not referring to unitybased on fear of something alien. In contrast, unity based on human beings recognizing and embracing their oneness. Unity and oneness manifested through the power of agape loveis the best course of action. Agape love generates beautiful karma universally. By nature, agape love only recognizes the common denominator (the Creator) of everything; it is not concerned with physical or mental attributes. It is not concerned with man-made institutions of religion. Connection with our common denominator unites us with love and each other.
Humanitarian love, peace, and unity may sound cliche, but it lays the foundation for true solidarity.
We will never be able to execute an effective strategy in dealing with alien differences if we do not embrace the human sameness of one another.
We are all manifestations of the same thing. Division among us humans occurs when the focus is on what makes us different. If anything alien invades our world, those differences will become gigantically menial and insignificant! It is highly unlikely one would stress over the variations among humans as an alien species presents. There has never been a better time to fall in love with the human race, flaws and all.
Human relations and how we treat our planet far outweigh the relevance of what is out there.
The planet earth is our home. Let's get it right here. Let's get it right with each other.
Romantic love or the Greek delineation eros, for most individuals is the most exciting and intense form of human affection. It can move like a roller coaster ride with extreme highs that dip down to extreme lows. The sensuality of the romantic experience releases feel good chemicals in our brains, offering a slice of paradise on earth. It causes the beneficial merging of lives, creation of more humans, and ultimately, survival of the human race. The very thrill of eros at its best is worth the agony of the down-side as expressed in the popular quote by poet Alfred Lord Tennyson:
"Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."
Many of us probably agree with that testament in spite of enduring the pain of a broken heart.
Romance as an Holistic Experience
The blissful unification of body and heart reverberates to the spirit. As a result, the spirit soars vibrating at higher frequencies. The heart is a manifestation of the mind where our emotions originate. The mind/heart is how the soul energy expresses itself in the physical world. The brain is simply the physical receiver or translator of that energy. Therefore, what we perceive as falling in love is the merging or the attempt to merge with the energy of another. It is fundamentally a supernatural experience of higher consciousness, no matter how short-lived it might be.
Let It Go
Just as every experience we have impacts our holistic being, so does our love relationships. Every romance leaves its own unique signature on our souls and spirits. When that spiritual imprint impacts our perceptions and behaviors, we call it baggage. Once you release the emotions of former relationships (disconnect with that energy), the imprints will fade and so will your baggage.
Spirit Guide
In the ultimate quest for true love, communicating with spirit just makes sense. We become one with the Creator and the creation. The answers to all questions and the solutions to all problems dwell on the spirit realm. Self-exploration leads to spiritual connection which leads to self-improvement; a prerequisite to harmoniously joining forces with another. Practicing rituals that promote inner-connections will inevitably improve the decisions we make in our romantic interludes. Remember, anything we seek in the external world is created and regulated by the internal world. Love follows the same pattern of the supernatural over the natural.
In what specific ways do you feel good spiritual health can alleviate relationship problems, such as infidelity, domestic violence, or soaring divorce rates?
Have you ever been fascinated by a magic show exhibiting the skills of a magician? Most of us are dazzled by magic because it appears to defy the laws of nature. In actuality, the magician manipulates the natural laws of science to bring about illusion and trickery. The real magic lies in the power of the human mind to harness the supernatural in order to guide the natural.....create reality. It is about tapping into the real self to command the laws of nature and shape the world around us. We all are empowered with magic to use in our everyday lives. The higher we raise our consciousness, the more magical we become.
NO TRICKS JUST TREATS Have you tapped into your magical powers lately?
Science & Spirituality have not traditionally been friends. They live on opposite sides of the fence and travel down roads going in
opposite directions. Both religion and spirituality have always offered explanations
for things science could not explain. Traditionally, science has held the
position that everything in existence
must fit into a scheme of rules and
laws that govern a natural, materialistic world.
Every now and then, science
stumbles upon a finding that is “concrete” supporting a religious belief, for
example, the Shroud of Turin and the professed finding of Noah’s Ark. Advanced equipment and climatic changes are
now revealing ruins of ancient cities that once were considered myths. All
those things are physical findings. Discovering anything concrete for the
spirit world is a lot trickier. If it cannot be interpreted by the basic 5
physical senses, it is not considered valid. When science is unable to explain
anything, it is labeled a mystery, phenomenon, and even nonexistent.
Quantum physics comes along and presents observable
empirical data that does not neatly fit into the rigid categories of the
science world. It suggests that maybe those crazy spiritual gurus are not that
crazy after all! It is like the rebellious child that goes against tradition
and paves its own way. Wikipedia The Free Encyclopedia states, "Quantum mechanics is the science of the very small: the body of scientific principles that explains the behavior of matter and its interaction with energy on the scale of atoms and subatomic particles." Studying the very small to explain the very big is a fascinating paradox! Extensive research conducted over the last few decades has yielded
overwhelming evidence for life after death, nonphysical worlds/dimensions,
nonphysical beings, and so on. One of the landmarks of quantum physics is the
discovery that the physical world around us is energy; like a hologram made of
light and sound. It puts a whole new spin on what the scientific-minded call
concrete now doesn’t it?
Do you feel that quantum physics can harmoniously
merge the two worlds of spirituality and science together? Explain why or why
not. As quantum physics makes more and more discoveries, in what ways will the
scientific community need to adjust and restructure?
As we embark on a new year of the revolving earth cycle, let us be inspired to tackle ongoing problems with a fresh approach. Of course, we do not have to wait for a 365 day cycle to do that. Every moment of our lives is an opportunity for a fresh start. Looking externally for solutions will not solve anything, just provide a superficial and temporary fix. The problems we face in this world, like every other situation, originate with the spirit. You cannot fix a spiritual problem with a physical tool. Therefore, we must look inward where the real solutions are waiting. The vast majority of the issues we are fighting emerge from human polarization based on race/color, nationality, religion, and so on. As people become more spiritually awake, more aware of the oneness, the barriers that polarize us from one another will slowly dissolve. Unity is a gift of spiritual awareness and it will propel the human race forward.
There are three main ingredients for the Good Karma Tonic:
Compassion
Forgiveness
Gratitude
Those three basic ingredients have the power to shower you with abundant good karma and transform your reality taking you to places you never imagined!!!
Tragically, a huge segment of the people on our planet exhibit the opposite character. The energy flow has been blocked by negative emotions separating them from their spiritual selves; they are selfish, indifferent, apathetic, bitter, unforgiving, ungrateful, unappreciative, arrogant...no wonder there is so much chaos in the world. Humanity has synthesized their own reality with a massive collective negativity!
Compassionis the ability to love other living things and be concerned for their well-being regardless of their character. It is the willingness to help someone or something without personal agenda for worldly gain or reward. Jesus Christ is the ultimate example of compassion. It does not matter whether you are a Christian or not. His teachings and life story, whether one believes are real or symbolic, set the standard for all human beings to strive for: Loving one another unconditionally...the highest consciousness.
Forgiveness is one of the hardest sentiments to express, but crucial for a happy life. Freeing yourself from the prison of bitterness, hatred, and pain not only feels better, but opens up the cosmic gateway to positive energy. When someone hurts you, there is the initial physical and mental pain. That is inevitable. The lack of forgiveness is the lingering pain you experience by reliving the event in your mind; you are focusing on the past. That pain is even more pronounced if there are residual physical injuries or damage to your quality of life. The pain leads you to a state of lower energy, feeling bitterness and hate toward the so-called perpetrator. In actuality, YOU are the perpetrator, the creator of your world. You end up putting out more negative energy to the universe which has no choice but to spew it back toward you. Gratitudeversus lack of gratitude for the goodness in our lives is like saying "F" you to the spirit world, "F" you to the universe, "F" you to the Creator. You are giving all the credit for your worldly achievements solely to the mind and body. Does that make any sense if your are a spiritual being? Your failure to appreciate the true source of your gifts is like a slap in the face to God...clearly not a good thing. If you have ever done something nice for someone and they expressed gratitude, did it make you feel warm and fuzzy on the inside? Were you much more encouraged to do more good things for the individual and others? Karma responds the same way.
The positive side is it is never too late to halt negativity and even reverse the damage inflicted within the physical realm. We are all creators on the spirit plane that operates beyond the constraints of time; the concept of "too late" is nonexistent. The healing process must always begin with spirit. The spirit gives the soul the okay to open up the heart to higher love aka agape love. Once that happens, the compassion, forgiveness, and gratitude will happen spontaneously. Relapses happen when we lose touch with our higher selves. In other words, the compassion, forgiveness, and gratitude are already inside of us. In order to save ourselves and the world, we must find them. Have you ever been in or presently in a situation struggling with compassion, forgiveness, and/or gratitude? If you were successful, what personal strategies did you implement? What do you think are the major hindrances of expressing those sentiments toward one another?
