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?

Spiritual Awareness: The Planet's Greatest Alarm System

By Rev Bil Holton


Nearly All of us have home protection systems. We set them when we are at home or away and feel safer for doing this. And if it ever goes off in a actual emergency the dispatcher's voice chimes in asking for the password. Because owners are the lone ones who know the password, interlopers know they only have minutes to leave before the police come.

How many of you have ever set your alarm off by accident? After your first surprise and irritation with yourself for having set the alarm off, don't you feel a sense of relief realizing that an end to the noise - is just a password away?

Remember when you were children and you had your first nightmare? Wasn't it comforting when one of your parents came rushing into your bedroom and said, "It's O.K. I'm here." The sound of a parent's voice and a parent's presence were all you needed to feel safe again.

Remember a time more recently when you were in a panic, or lost, or going thru a difficult time. Remember how it felt when you called a friend. The sound of his or her voice on the other end of the line was all you wanted to regain your composure.

We've all been in circumstances like that. The voice I want to talk about in this piece is another voice: the earth's finest alarm system. It is an alarm we Wish to hear! It is the 'still small voice ' "which enables us to see things from the Christ point of view. And we hear that voice in 3 ways:

- when we're relaxed,
- when we meditate, and
- when we pray.

If our consciousness is Christ"centered, we are going to hear the 'still small voice. ' We cannot go astray if we get really good at hearing the voice. When we meditate, or merely relax, we receive intuitions. These intuitive flashes are the 'still small voice ' saying: "Here's the answer. Do this. Don't do that. Wait. Don't wait.

Intuitions are cosmic e-mails from the Christ Presence inside us. They are our Christness talking to us. As we are the Christ expressing as us, we are pre-wired to recognize the voice. It's in our spiritual DNA. We are password protected because we have immediate accessibility to the greatest security system in the world: the still small voice. And the password is: Peace be still.

You and I are the Christ expressing as us and so we will claim perfect health and wholeness.

We are the Christ expressing as us and so we have got the power and the information to handle any situation.

We are the Christ expressing as us and so we now have all of the finances we require to do the work we have come here to do.

We are the Christ expressing as us and therefore answers to our most important questions can come to us with speed, ease, comfort, and joy.

We are the Christ expressing as us and so we will enjoy a life filled with contentment and spiritual enlightenment.

When we listen to the 'still small voice, ' a very simple flash, an aha, a cosmic e-mail, we'll always stay in integrity. The 'still small voice ' comes when we are peaceful, when we are composed, when we are prayerful.

We may master the art of living when we master the art of prayer.

We intend to master the art of living when we master the art of meditation.

We intend to master the art of living when we master the art of relaxation.

We intend to master the art of living when we master the arts of forgiveness, and kindness, and compassion, and service.

The really neat thing about it is we have all got the same password. The password is: Peace be still.

Whatever you have facing you this week "a health challenge, more month left than money, an anorexic checking account, unemployment, doubt Hear your intuition, the 'still small voice. ' And remember: You are password protected!
