Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Cross Your Heart then Want To ...

By Revs Bil & Cher Holton


How frequently have you ever heard a person say, "Cross your heart and hope to die!" It can be used so that you can cause it to be real apparent that just what the individual is saying will be truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth! But seriously! It is definitely an awful affirmation! We would prefer to complete that statement in a handful of other ways, that may help you in your spiritual growth. This week's article will explore the first approach:

Cross your heart and hope to SEE Truth:

This means seeing past the realm of appearance, and discover the Truth of each and every situation. Maybe you have seen one of those Magic Eye images, those that have a 3-D picture concealed within an abstract geometric design? They were extremely popular about a decade back. After they first arrived on the scene, we remember discovering one in the reception area of a company. The two of us stared and stared, discovering absolutely nothing. And then somebody walked past and told us to alter our focus, and search past the image - look through the image.

We weren't really certain just what this individual meant, yet once we tried refocusing, suddenly, SNAP! It looked like everything shifted, and then there it was - a 3-D image as well-defined and as vivid as you can imagine.

Not every person is able to see these 3-D illusions - it requires some work to move beyond the appearance of the geometric design. Which is just what is required once we look past the realm of appearance to discover the vivid Truth.

* To the world, there is the appearance of health challenges, but we know the Truth of who we are is absolute health flowing through every cell and atom of our being.

* To the world, there is the appearance of lack, but we know the Truth of who we are is abundance and prosperity flowing.

* To the world, you will find the appearance of fear, but we know the Truth of who we are is greater than any illusion of fear because we are One with the Source of everything we require - in the moment of need.

Once we cross out error thinking, we start to stand in the Truth of what we know, and discover beyond that realm of appearance regardless of just how much the world, the media, and others would like to concentrate on the appearance of things.

Once we discover how to "Cross our heart and SEE Truth" we all cross out error and move a step nearer to Enlightenment. This month, practice exploring past the realm of appearance, and discovering Truth:

Any time you feel any adverse emotion or experience a predicament that seems unpleasant or even overwhelming, take the time to breathe into it. Be still and claim the Truth of who you are. Enter into a minimum of fifteen minutes of Quiet, moving lightly from the voices in your mind towards the Spirit of Truth within our heart. Then cross your heart and hope to - no, KNOW YOU WILL - see Truth!

Discover the real difference it can make in the way you undertake each day.
