Finding and Freeing Your Center of Spiritual Energy

We are living in a most interesting period of human history. Old social systems are struggling for their very existence and the changes that are taking place in the religious and scientific fields have never been greater. A new way of life is slowly being accepted as the old ways prove to be more burdensome and useless. But all of these changes cannot bring happiness, if at the same time we do not change our inner-nature. The cruel struggle for selfish gain must give way to compassion and understanding for the troubles and sufferings of others. We have to reform our motives and re-direct our efforts or else our social reforms will also prove futile. Man has to gain a greater understanding of his purpose for existence, before he can even attempt to understand the reason for his neighbor's existence. Our ability to create evil and suffering has long been proven. We now need to discover our ability to create greater and more positive things. There are great things yet to be done. There is an abundance of room in the world for every variety of Positive Thought. But a Spiritual Awakening cannot take place so long as a few feast at the table of self-gratification, while the many look on in hunger and helplessness. Eventually, the Law of Action and Reaction will reach the guilty and demand its retribution.

True Freedom of Expression can come only after we have abandoned our false notions and learned to re-direct our Creative Energies for the good of all Mankind. The world around us is filled with undiscovered miracles, but the greatest miracle of all is Man himself. For in him dwells the seed of Infinite Creation and undreamed of possibilities. The Ancient Greek Philosophers recognized one condition that was necessary to achieve True Spiritual Perfection. This single requirement was handed down to us in the simple phrase: “Man, know thyself.” Jesus expanded the idea in the Sermon on the Mount, when he said, “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all things shall be added unto you.”

The Ancient Forest Teachers of India recognized that the Universe was filled with the presence of Parabrahman (Absolute God). They taught that everything is contained in Parabrahman. Everything floats in the Divine Being and everything is impregnated by the Spirit of Divine Being. If this were not true, the Universe would not exist. Everything that exists had its origin in God – and in God, it has its Being.

Every human being is endowed with a Center of Spiritual Energy which needs to be set free, but how few among us have learned to Sing the Divine Song of Creation. These individuals can face all circumstances that seem to conspire against them, even when they have been abandoned by their friends and relatives, for they understand their Oneness with God and the support that can be derived from the Power of Divine Thought. ALL INTUITION and INSPIRATION comes to them. With every moment of Awareness, it is transformed into a Divine Power of resistance which opposes all difficulties in times of trouble. When you rediscover and learn to trust in your own Divine Nature, you will also realize that its power will never abandon you; but instead will guide your footsteps through all conflicts and troubles.

Constantly remind yourself that wherever you go or wherever you may be, you need never feel afraid. Know that you are always safely under the protection of the Divine Creative Force. It is part of your Being and it is an inner-support which is stronger than all of the misery in the world. Learn to cultivate this kind of thinking and it will make you invulnerable against all troubles and suffering. It will also fill you with self-confidence and Peace, which comes from knowing that you are a Child of God.
