The
original purpose of all religious thoughts were probably based on
the same basic principles, but over time, they have become diluted
because of man’s interpretations and the methods they have chosen
in reaching salvation. As a result, one’s belief that their
religion is the only true religion has caused conflicts and even
wars between religious factions and individuals. When someone
says “Allah is the one and only true God and all others are
inferior”, the other may say “no, Jesus Christ is superior
and you should only believe in Jesus.”
The
goal of religions should be the pursuit of Spiritual Ethics and
there are many paths which one may follow - each
individual should choose the one they feel most comfortable with
and it should not be forced upon others.
Religious
scriptures and the Bible are good reference resources in one’s
pursuit of Spiritual Ethics, but according to the Spirit Guide,
there is a better source. What do you think it is?
Religious
scriptures and the Bible were written for human beings in this
physical world. Consequently, limitations
appear in man’s depth of understanding which sometimes causes
misinterpretations of the spiritual world.
The
better resource than the Bible and religious scriptures is The
Law of Nature.
The
Law of Nature can be seen in our daily natural surroundings,
such as hearing birds chirping, listening to a babbling brook,
watching the changing of the four seasons, etc. from which we
can learn many things.
Nature
and the universe are constantly in motion while maintaining a
balance.
For
example, water is H2O composed of 2 parts hydrogen atoms and 1
part oxygen atom. However, depending on the condition
(temperature), it can become ice (solid), water (liquid), or
steam (gas/vapor) although these are composed of the same basic elements.
This explanation of how the same element can change will help
you to understand a later chapter which discusses body, mind and
spirit/soul. This change of elements can be seen in
nature when the river flows into the ocean and then evaporates
into a cloud and freezes, causing it to once again fall to earth
as rain or snow.
The
Law of Nature can also be applied to the world of commerce –
just as the flow of the river into the lake keeps life
forms moving and alive and once again flows out into a river, so
should money keep flowing for the growth of all. Once the
flow stops, it stagnates and does no good.
When
viewed from an even larger scale, in our solar system, the
centrifugal force pulling the planets away from the sun are
balanced by the gravitational pull of the sun which keeps them
in orbit. Any imbalance of these centrifugal and
gravitational forces would disrupt this orbit. In this
example, we can therefore clearly see the importance of balance in all
things.
Isn’t
it helpful in our daily lives to be able to observe what is
surrounding us in nature and learn from the hints that are
presented?
