Yes Guruji u bet... I am delighted. I believe. In God. In his power to help me guide me protect me and er.....save me?Exact thing I would say to God fearing people who think I should say that. Believe that. Live my life by the coda of eternal reward or punishment.
Being good to obtain the goodies.
I am god fearing. However God is not an external omnipotent deity to me but the maximum potential I'm capable of actualizing. By belief. Self Belief.
We like to believe in an external source of superpower an omnipresent guide providing protection and a road map
leading to eventual reward or at least sorting out the conflicts that survival entails.
Now, that's a great power to harness into our everyday lives...and the best thing about it is you simply switch it on yourself. You may call it by any name God Allah Ishwar Jesu but it's Yours to click on or off.
The power to believe in another greater benevolence,a more superior strength and morality than ours, it seems, is greater than our power to believe in our innate ability to be a benevolent strong compassionate life force.
Yet all those qualities we innately possess in some degree.
When we pray in impassioned need to belief, to a 'God', we awaken direct and focus those qualities to a greater degree.
Twenty first century I propose it for you to hem and haw accept or dispose.
That's your God. Therein he lies.
What's self belief? How do we go about acquiring it in the face of insurmountables?
When the world seems verily against us when nothing goes right why do some press the defeat button suicide button I give up button?
Why do others click on the try harder button never say die or anything is possible with God button?
The pattern of the negative reactions to problems is simply withdrawal symptoms. Retreat and surrender. Life forces succumbing to death. Whether you commit suicide or not.
The pattern of the positive reactions is really saying that there has to be a way around the problem and harnessing resolve determination creativity and perseverance. Thank you God for being that catalyst which speeds up the pathways to self discovery heightened fuel capacity hiddrn reserves to light an unquenchable inner flame.
God is flash of understanding. Arisen in our lives from a need to face defeat to deal with it.
Glory be to the Name of clarity which needs must be mystified for the light of the blazing bush of our inner strength is too dazzling far too dangerous for our daily lives.
Amen.
