  • Knowing God as Opposed to Knowing About God

    The Varied Degrees or Psychic Circle Levels of Experiencing God

    Niann Emerson Chase

    Often I dance with abandon and joy when at a live performance, especially if the music has a beat that just will not allow you to be still, which includes many genres of music from many cultures—traditional and new. During those times of abandonment to joy, I feel such love for the musicians as well for those who are also dancing and swaying to the music. Even more, I feel love for life and for my First Lover, my First Beloved—God, the First Source and Center, the Infinite Creator and Upholder, the Universal Father. (more…)

  • God is the First Environmentalist of the Universe

    Niánn Emerson Chase

    God is not just a “First Source” or “Spirit” or “the Universe” or “the Creator” or “Light.” God is all of those and so much more, including a “Trinity,” a “Father,” a “Mother,” and a “Son.” However, in this writing I will focus on the “Father” aspect of God.

    In the Fifth Epochal Revelation (The URANTIA Book) the first five papers are focused on explaining God, and Paper 1 is titled “The Universal Father,” establishing immediately the primal nature of God as a Person and a Parent. It is stated in that paper:

    The eternal God is infinitely more than reality idealized or the universe personalized. God is not simply the supreme desire of man, the mortal quest objectified. Neither is God merely a concept, the power-potential of righteousness. The Universal Father is not a synonym for nature, neither is he natural law personified. God is a transcendent reality, not merely man’s traditional concept of supreme values. God is not a psychological focalization of spiritual meanings, neither is he “the noblest work of man.” God may be any or all of these concepts in the minds of men [and women], but he is more. He is a saving person and a loving Father to all who enjoy spiritual peace on earth, and who crave to experience personality survival in death. (The URANTIA Book, Paper 1, Section 2, Paragraph 2) (more…)

    Dear Luminous Soul, as I smile I give you joy as an expression of the Love I feel for you.

    When in my heart there was the joy it was indispensable to express it, share it and donate it.

    I could tell how it affected heart and that made me happy.

    But I often asked myself: “There are many things around me, and within me to be happy about, why isn’t joy always present in my life without interruption?

    Why, during hardships, am I not able to feel the joy anyway for all those things I am infinitely grateful for?” (more…)

  • Is Blood Thicker Than God?

    by Gabriel of Urantia

    From the beginning of the Lucifer Rebellion around 200,000 years ago, humans—as well as nonhuman mortals and various celestial orders in the system of Satania—have had to make the decision between following God’s ways or rebelling against them, and this has been the way on our fallen world since then.[i] The Old and New Testaments of the Bible refer to families at war among each other that involve conflicts between those who are more Godly and those who choose more evil ways.

  • The Sufi Call, Making A Better World

    By Dr. Stewart Bitkoff

    Nasrudin was now an old man looking back on his life. He sat with his friends in the tea shop telling his story.

    “When I was young I was firey-I wanted to awaken everyone. I prayed to Allah to give me the strength to change the world.

    In mid-life I awoke one day and realized my life was half over and I had changed no one so I prayed to Allah to give me the strength to change those around me who so much needed it.

    Alas, now I am old and my prayer is simpler. ‘Allah,’ I ask, ‘please give me the strength to at least change myself.”  [Posted on Facebook, by Eric Twose, The Caravanserai Page, 7/1/16, 9:51 am.]

    Introduction

    According to Sufi tradition, man/woman is the meeting point between heaven and earth and is created with a spiritual destiny.  Within each person there is the capacity to create, make decisions and destroy.  These aspects or abilities reflect Higher attributes and man/woman’s birth right is to rule a vast, personal spiritual kingdom.

  • Royalty in Unity

    By Harold Witkov

    When I hear the words, “Royal Family,” I do not think of Prince William, Kate, and young Prince George, and I do not envision the Romanovs of Russia either. When I hear the words, “Royal Family,” I picture myself as a young man in my early twenties, more than forty years ago, sitting on a couch and reading from a book in my living room.

    The book I was reading was written by a mystic by the name of Charles Webster Leadbeater.  Back in the early to mid 1970’s, I was a passionate reader of C.W. Leadbeater spiritual texts. And when I read them, I was often moved, focused, and very receptive. That certainly was the case that day on the couch when I came upon the following: (more…)

  • Solving the World/America’s Problems

    By Dr. Stewart Bitkoff

    Initially I wrote this piece in 2013 (after a mass shooting in Arizona) and offer it again as a beginning solution to the world’s problems. Gun control and gun violence is one aspect of the larger problem. The larger problem: Is how to make better people?

    Better people make a better world and collectively, we must work on this together. Solutions are possible and may take a long, long time; but it is time for more action and movement forward. I hope you enjoy this piece and share it with others. Perhaps, then, we can continue our conversation about how to accomplish this goal. (more…)

  • Hassidic Teachings of Hope and Faith

    by Rabbi Allen S. Maller

    A growing body of medical evidence indicates that people who are optimistic and trusting, have stronger immune systems and recover more rapidly and fully from major trauma, than those who are skeptical and distrustful. Painful experiences are natural and normal. They usually leave us with an unconscious fear that they will reoccur. This anxiety weakens our resolve to recover when we face new traumas. Even worse, we hesitate to live and love as fully as we should, so that we suffer loss even if nothing bad ever reoccurs.

    Religious insights that derive from powerful spiritual experiences can help us overcome these anxieties by directing our attention to new and different ways of seeing things. People who change their perspective and become more hopeful prior to negative situations may even avoid experiencing them.  (more…)
