The Big Picture

I thought it was time to summarize what I have come to believe through reading, discussing but mostly deep thinking and receiving answers. To start with, you must forget almost everything the Bible, your parents, pastor and whoever told you about most things and be willing to ascribe new meanings to words you have long used, like God, Soul, Spirit, etc. I wrestled with using new words for these things, but decided to use the old words and figured if you are reading this, you can handle it.

What is God?  "God" is simply the interconnection of the spirits of all things with Souls to one another. I have likened it to a spiritual internet. From the great prophets in many cultures, well before Jesus, through Jesus himself, to many many brilliant connected theological thinkers since, it has been made clear that God is within each of us and we have a direct connection with and to God. Just because everyone calls it by this name, lets go ahead an refer to the spirit within us as the Soul.

God is not a separate being. We are God. We are all God together. We, connected and acting in harmony with one another without even knowing it, are God. We control God, not the other way around. We control our universe. You control YOUR universe. We use the Laws of Physics to do this.

Us.  We are composed of two parts. Our bodies and our Souls. Our bodies are very complex machines controlled by a very complicated computer. The Laws of Physics govern how it does what it does. Lots of the things that your body does, it does simply be operating properly. Heart beats, breathing, endocrine, lymph, waste and hundreds of other systems just function in accordance with the Laws of Physics. So the fact that a heart beats before birth does not mean the body has a Soul. I do not know when that happens.

There are all sorts of bodies out there that operate in this way, that may not have a Soul. The machine just functions by absorbing energy and functioning to stay alive until it dies. Plants just operate. Do they have a Soul? Are they connected to the God network? I don't really think so, but do not really know. Contemplate one-celled animals, reptiles, and amphibians; all of which are almost completely reactive critters. What about mammals up to dolphins and primates? Perhaps the complete balance of nature means that all of them are? Who knows?

Like any machine, it requires an operator for it to work. When your Soul enters any body, your body, whenever that is, you become the operator of that body. As the operator, you drive the machine. You choose where to drive it. Coolest thing is that by interacting with God, the spiritual internet, the super energy connecting all of us to one another, the super energy that wants all things to stay in harmony, you can change your universe to get what you want for YOU.

How does that Work?  Since you are always connected to the spiritual internet, you can tap into it. If you ask, the answer will be provided. If you need something, ask for it in a positive way, focus on it, believe with deep faith that you will receive it, and then act in accordance with the guidance from the spiritual connection we all share, what you need will come to you.

Nature strives for balance and harmony. That is not always good for any particular animal, as, of course many are inevitably food for others. Generally, however, food animals tend to reproduce rapidly and it tends to be the weakest among them who perish. So in essence, balance in the entire system is maintained.

Jesus noted that the sparrow never worries about where his next meal will come from. Assuming the sparrow is connected, it knows what it needs and has absolute faith it will find it and being connected, does without even thinking about it exactly what it is guided to do to find what it needs when it needs it. Except, of course, the weaker ones eaten by hawks or cats. Circle of life.

I saw a video that likened it to the genie in Aladdin, "Your wish is my command."  I think it is more like what Jesus said, "Ask and you shall receive." Jesus did not heal anyone. In the stories they came to him, asked for what they needed and because he was there and they truly believed in him, what they asked for happened. He even said that. He told them, because of your faith you are healed. He never said, because of me and my great powers, you are healed.

There are three requirements:

  • Ask for what you need in positive terms.
  • Really believe that it will happen. Faith must be strong to keep the spirit working.
  • Do what you know in your heart is the right thing to do, always, all the time, no matter what.

The Power of Positive Thinking: The spiritual internet, God, is part of nature. It does not think. It is just a force, the force, creating harmony and balance among all living things.

Inexperienced soccer coaches often make the mistake of telling their shooters "Do not hit the goalie." This is a negative statement. The result is they hit the goalie. Zero percent will score. Experienced coaches tell them to hit the goalpost, knowing that most of the time they will miss the skinny goal post and a percentage of those will be inside the goal post for a chance at goal. The difference is the first is what NOT to do, which does not work, and the second is a positive action, which does.

If you are in debt, pray for, ask for, what you need. Do not ask to get out of debt. That is negative. If you want to lose weight, don't focus on what NOT to eat or do, but instead on what weight you are going to get to and what you will eat and do to make that happen. Cast whatever you need in the positive.

Do not be greedy. As Mick Jagger pointed out, "You don't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need." Mostly greed is something that you never really believe deeply enough that you will achieve. If you truly believe you will receive/achieve it, ask for that.

That being said, go for more than the minimum and ask for what YOU need. I own two houses I am going to sell soon. I acquired them for purposes of helping others, which happened, but not to my benefit. I did not ask for that. That is why good people sometimes do not get what they want. Because they think it is greedy or inappropriate to ask for it. They ask only for things that benefit others. Your wish is my command. Ask and you shall receive.

Believe:  When you truly believe and have faith that what you have asked for will happen for you, this reinforces daily, momently, what you have asked for to the spiritual internet, to God. It creates an imbalance that the force needs to balance to return nature to harmony. If you do not believe, there is no actual request and thus no imbalance to remedy. You may not get what you are asking for in a day, a week, a whatever, so faith has to be complete and constant.

Act:  Do what you know in your heart is the right thing to do. The world spirit will communicate to your spirit how to guide your body to remedy the imbalance. You must do all of these things all of the time or you will be fighting against the very thing you have asked for.

Why does that happen. Because the world spirit, the spiritual internet, God, whatever you want to call it, is driven toward balance and harmony for every creature in the system. It does not make decisions. It does not screw you over. It does not think. It just does. The system simply strives through natural processes to balance itself. You are simply letting it know how your world is out of balance and then doing the things required to re-balance your world.

You can be and have everything you need and want as long as you ask, believe and act.
