Gramps: An Original Life

By Dr. Stewart Bitkoff

To refuse the gift is to refuse the Giver.
A. Hussain

Over the holidays, one of my maternal aunts visited and we had a conversation about how the ‘older generation’ visited doctors much less frequently than this generation. Sometimes, I find myself going to doctors 3 and 4 times a week.

My grandfather (Louis) lived to be 104 and both my maternal aunts are now 90 and 98 years old. As we discussed Gramps’ longevity, and why this generation goes to the doctor so often, my aunt offered the following about changing lifestyles. (more…)

Going Beyond I and My

By Lt Col R K Langar

What is I and My

The subject of this write up is in two parts- I and My and Going Beyond. First we shall consider I and My. I mean I am somebody who is different from other people. My conveys a sense of possession. What else is conveyed by I. Repeated use of I in your conversation shows that you consider yourself superior and separate from others. It is your ego, Ahamkar or self pride which makes you think so and which hinders your interconnectedness with others. The other meaning of the word ego is when you consider yourself as body and not the soul or Atma which is the essence of your personality. By considering yourself body and not Atma, you move your self away from the reality of life that your essential component is Atma and not the body. Therefore we have to change our belief about ourselves from body consciousness to soul consciousness. (more…)

The Foundation of the Way

By Dr. Stewart Bitkoff

“You see,” said the blind man, “I seek to draw closer to God through submission.  God has taught that the perfect servant is he/she who submits totally to the Master’s will. Instead of considering how the performance of a task will benefit his personal position, the good servant is concerned only with the Master’s request. 

The Way to God has always been known; it is the path of surrender and God’s Mercy.  The servant must work and seek but realizes he/she will never attain without God’s Generosity: because ‘love is not earned it is bestowed.’  If the servant is to truly serve, the ego must be still and free of personal desire. Total submission is impossible without God’s Grace and Mercy.” (more…)

The Judicial System: Why It Doesn't Work And How It Can

Occupy The Courts

by Gabriel of Urantia 

I was a volunteer chaplain at the Pima County Sheriff’s Department. I worked at the county jail from 1977 to 1982. I also worked with the pre-trial release program of the Department of Economic Security and accepted prisoners to my halfway house, if I thought I could work with them. Many of these prisoners I got personally involved with. I went to their trials. I learned a lot about the “injustice system” because none of these prisoners had the money to really hire an attorney, so most of them had court-appointed attorneys to defend them. And a lot of those attorneys were wet behind the ears. (more…)

What's the deal with 2012? Free Report

There's been a widely known prediction that the world will end on December 21st 2012 going around for some time. Like most you may have scoffed or made a joke about it. But now 2012 is underway, perhaps it's wise to find out more and make an informed response.

To say we're living through momentous times is no understatement. The world's financial systems have been decimated by the credit crunch; natural disasters seem to be increasing in both frequency and degree of devastation. Seemingly immovable regimes have been overthrown by the revolutions of the "Arab Spring". And global warming appears to be accelerating towards a point of no return. (more…)

Spiritual University: Individual Learning Sequence

By Dr. Stewart Bitkoff

Each traveler is a unique being and as such has an individual learning sequence.  All travelers are on the path to completion.  This is the Divine Command and the mission for which each soul was created and sent out into the universe.  Each soul is to travel and return more complete so they can reign in Kingship.  The universe governed is oneself and when one has become master of self- other responsibilities are added.

Before encountering a teacher, each traveler must undergo preparation. Often this   involves searching within them self and the world.  Looking for an answer to the burning question within: the traveler is not satisfied with what has been encountered.  Still there remains a yearning, an inner emptiness which is pushing the traveler toward the Source. This burning must be relatively free of self-interest and what will be gained from the search.  The Teaching will not enter a house that is filled with self. (more…)

The Renaissances of History Have Been Both Spiritual and Scientific

Physics Always Accompanies Conscious Thought in the Subatomic World, and the Occupy Movement, Right Now, All Over the World, Is Causing Chain Reactions in the Orbits of Reality

by Dr. Landau Lawrence, M.D.

There come times, even in the droughts of the worst rebellions ever to unfold, that the Creator loans His eyes and ears and heart to sinners lost in their own sadness madness. Ironies on fallen worlds are many, including that the innocent seem to suffer the most and that prophets and saviors sent into the world receive the worst of blame by the worst of the perpetrators.

Life & Video Games

By Dr. Stewart Bitkoff

When the end is in sight, many things go through your mind. Experiences, friends, successes, and failures fill the consciousness. Yet, the heart smiles at all of this; for you see, it knows the Goal and has been through this journey before.

The Great Wheel of Life keeps turning so we can experience ourselves and the Infinite in many different ways.  Like a video game, with level upon level, until we save the Princess- who is our selves. What people forget is that this journey or game can be accomplished in a second, 1000 years, or over and over again. Or we can play a totally different game and have an alternate experience, altogether. (more…)
