Faith Quotations

By Tom Stine

 Everyone has experienced fear. We know exactly what it feels like, whether it is in the form of anxiety or an extreme terror. But we rarely if ever stop to ask questions about our fears. We have a lot to learn from fear, and asking questions of it will lead us to some interesting observations that can be amazingly helpful. And first and foremost is the that fear is never about the here and now.

It’s true. Fear is always about the future. Without a future, there can be no fear. Fear is the feeling we have when we are anticipating something bad happening. Our minds conjure up a possible future event, and then our nervous system reacts to these thoughts by stimulating our bodies in that familiar group of sensations we call fear. It really is as simple as that.

By knowing that fear is always about the future, we can use this simple fact to start to undo it and become free of it for good. If you will notice, you are not living in the future. Or the past. You are living right now. Here, in this spot and at this moment. And be honest, can you ever know what is actually going to happen in the future? Can you know what will happen tomorrow or next week? No, you can’t. And that is how you begin to undo fear. You recognize that it is about a future that you can never know. This recognition is the beginning of your freedom.

Let’s look at an example. Suppose you are like many people and are worried about your finances. The grocery bill is getting larger each month, gas prices are up, but you are not earning any more money. You start to feel a nagging worry, a sense of anxiety, a fear about what will happen a year from now. “Will I run out of money?” you ask yourself.

To gain your freedom from this fear, begin by noticing what is here right now. Do you have plenty of food to eat? Do you have gas for the car? A job? Some savings? Take a brief look at the reality of your life now. Not a year from now. Now.

Then, ask yourself, “Do I know what the future will be like? Can I honestly say I know?” Of course not. You can never know. Then allow that realization to sink into your system. Let it settle into your body.

The first thing you will notice from doing a simple process like this one is that you feel lighter, freer, more open. The fear has lifted some (or completely vanished). You feel more alive and capable of dealing with life and it’s situations.

The second thing you notice is that your creativity and intuition increase exponentially. Your ability to solve problems improves, and your sense of the best solution grows more accurate. If your concerns were about money, you start to see interesting ways you can save money. You gain a new insight into how to earn more, get a raise at your current job, or find better employment.

Freeing yourself from fear is both simple to do and beneficial. Plus, you feel good, too. While there are many other techniques that can help you find lasting freedom, this simple one of recognizing the here and now will work wonders.

A Listing Of Spiritual Quotes From Great Leaders

Angels And Spirit Guides Are Unique Too
By Kevin Sinclair

 A lot of information has been produced in recent years about angels, spirit guides and ascended masters and more and more people are calling upon them for help in dealing with the challenges of life. The information that is surfacing about these other-worldly beings is the result of intensive study into ancient texts that are thousands of years old.

Furthermore, normal people are increasingly experiencing paranormal or supernatural events as they live their daily lives. This is happening across the globe, in the lives of all sorts of different people whether they live in cities or towns, the countryside or even on the streets.

People who have personally witnessed the presence of supernatural beings or have experienced paranormal events have different educational levels, occupations and ages. They include men and women, girls and boys. Interestingly, they represent all faiths and religious groups as well as people who are not involved with any formal church or spiritual fellowship. Some of these people have explored their experiences in articles and even books.

However, the vast majority of those who have had these amazing experiences have not described them formally in writing at all. They just keep living their normal, everyday lives, but have incorporated the supernatural quietly by seeking direction from spirit guides, ascended masters and archangels.

These beings are not experienced in the same way by different people. Sometimes they appear as visions, sometimes they simply speak and at other times they are felt as a presence. However, their presence is detected, the people they connect with have very interesting stories to tell.

We are gaining more understanding over time about how these beings operate. For example, we now know that archangels, ascended masters and spirit guides have specific expertise and areas of specialty. Archangel Michael, for example, is charged with helping us overcome fear both individually and as a whole.

To better understand how to relate to and cooperate with spiritual beings, we can seek the guidance of Archangel Metatron who also specializes in helping children. To create more beautiful lives we can turn to Archangel Jophiel and if we are seeking solutions to health problems, Archangel Haniel can guide us to create the appropriate healing remedies.

If you desire to understand your life purpose, Archangel Chamuel is the one to turn to along with Archangel Michael, Saint Francis or Saint-Germain. Surprisingly, we can even get help to fix mechanical parts from Archangel Michael or Apollo. For grief and loss we can turn to Archangel Azrael for comfort and healing.

Down through the ages, these amazing, extraordinary experiences have also been very natural. However, the supernatural experiences and contacts with other-worldly beings that have occurred throughout our human history are still mind blowing to human beings. Yet, our growing awareness of other beings, dimensions, and realities is finally beginning to be validated by quantum theory and the growing body of research in quantum physics.

When we realize that even spirit beings such as angels, spirit guides and ascended masters have special gifts and areas of specialty, we may be able to more easily accept and appreciate what we can uniquely offer as human beings. We also have things in which we are particularly gifted.

The combination of unique talents and interests that we all possess indicate our life purpose. These important elements of who we are combine to create our personalities and develop into the motivations, desires and decisions that create our destinies. Understanding this, should help us become more patient and understanding of both ourselves and other people.

Purpose of Life: Are You Ready to Stop Wasting Your Life as You Finally Realize Your Life Purpose?
By Matthew DeSilva

 If youre wondering about the purpose of life, the easiest way to solve this problem is to figure out that its time for you to seriously map out your lifes true mission.

The number one explanation for why most people are existing without intention is because theyve never taken time out to plan life out. Many folks are surviving at careers or jobs they fell in to. Many folks are living conservative, dreary lives without feeling the joy they should be.

Many folks are living with a deep feeling of angst or fear instead of experiencing the true purpose of existence to have fun.

Thats correct, life is actually supposed to be fun. Unfortunately, you may have learned along the way that you were supposed to be miserable all day long. Nothing could be further from being accurate.

Lets glimpse at three blessings that come with realizing and living your Life Purpose. Then, well take a look at three tactics to help you begin this operation.

Your Personal Philosophy

The number one perk to learning your own purpose of life is that you define your Personal Philosophy. Your Personal Philosophy comes down to how you perceive life. Its the paradigm through which you view the universe you live in.

This is where you jot down the morals, principles, and values by which you will live by. Theres a huge difference in the Life Purpose of a person valuing honesty and integrity as opposed to the person who doesnt mind lying and cheating now and then.

Like many other people, you may very well be living a life today that doesnt match up with your Personal Philosophy. Does your job have you doing things that go against your morals and principles? Have you allowed a friend, family member, or spouse to steer you in directions that have you violating your values?

Getting your Personal Philosophy solidified will let you make important decisions quite easily from the viewpoint of principles that you hold dearly.

Your Vision

As your Life Purpose comes clearly into focus, your entire life vision changes. Instead of living life by accident and hoping things work out, you now see clearly how each choice affects you now and in the future.

With your purpose of life mapped out, you no longer accept anything that goes against that vision and purpose. Imagine the difference in your caliber of life when you make choices based on ultimate truth rather than anything else the world may be proposing you do.

Making a Difference

Since most people in todays society are ensnared in “exist mode”, they have abandoned all thoughts of purpose or living with intention.

However, when you resolve to finally rise above this and work on yourself in order to experience your Higher Purpose, youll find that your discovery of your true reason for being alive will end up in a life where you make a difference to those around you.

Discovering your Life Purpose is marvelous. It comes with a feeling of meaning. It allows you to effect powerful change on a world in need of it. It allows you to finally stop saying, someday and to start living now. You help others now you make a difference now.

What a wonderful way to live life!

Look Within

Now that youve read about three of the many advantages youll get when you take the time to discover your purpose of life, lets take a look at three steps that will guide you along this journey.

The first thing you need to realize is that youre not going to discover the answers to your Life Purpose by looking outside of yourself. On the contrary, this is when you must start finding alone time where you can focus within for the answers to your personal purpose of life.

This is a spiritual growth path as well as a personal growth process. Youre working on discovering about your inner self and the lessons this spiritual being can teach you. You may want to invest time in learning about the various meditation methods in order to help you focus within.

Focus on Your Inner Child

Looking back at your childhood is a key part to discovering the purpose of life. There was a marvelous time at some point in your childhood when you saw life as special, amazing, joyous, and magical. This view of life had nothing to do with achievement or validation from others.

There was a time when you were filled with wonder and joy just for being alive. This is the place you want to get yourself back in touch with!

You can start this process by returning to everything you enjoyed as a child. Think through your interests, the games you liked to play, the hobbies you participated in, etc. Start brainstorming about everything that makes you happy simply because and youre getting closer to your own purpose of life.

Write it Down

Something good happens when you write down your thoughts. It becomes more real to you. It has a much bigger effect on your mind than when you simply think about it. Therefore, be sure to write down your innermost thoughts and feelings as you start to focus on discovering your Life Purpose.

Youve learned three benefits of realizing the purpose of life and three ways you can start working toward your personal Life Purpose. While there are ultimately dozens of steps necessary to work on in this process, these three should help you get started.
