Can We Look Within or Are We too Biased and Outward Looking?


        As the seasons continue to change according to one’s hemisphere, so one notices either a beginning, with a new bursting of the buds as the cycle grows into another period of fruitfulness, or the leaves fall and a period of hibernation beckons.

          The cycles of change are all about us whichever way we look.  There has been a great reckoning and the mighty are falling, who thought that they were safe and could get away with anything.

          The spiritual truth that has always been muted is now coming in for all to see.  Those who conducted their affairs in a good way, according to the ways that Jesus taught us through Universal Law, will survive.  Those who conducted themselves in a materialistic way with greed and avarice without a thought for others will fall.

          This has nothing to do with religion or the teachings of men empowered, as they are, by their own fixation of greed and power over others.  They collect the gold and silver to decorate their palaces and work places and say that God demands it!

          What the mighty Universal Power expects of his creations is that they love each other and help each other through those periods of storm and difficulties, not to gather up wealth on the collection plate that never helps a fallen child or one held in the grip of dis-ease in its many forms.

          What is expected of us first is to recognise those who are in need of help and caring, as so many are all around the globe, before we lift up our thoughts in thanks and praise for all we have earned and received by our spiritual accounts.

          It does nothing to repeat familiar dogma in whatever language and it helps not to beat children if they fail to learn and quote from the Koran correctly.

          Is that worse than the cloth molesting the children and abusing them for one’s own gratification and denying that one is doing anything wrong?

          All around the world it is the children who suffer the most and the women suffer next, as they are still not allowed to sit at the top table and help to run a better world where everybody can expect fairness and justice.

          It is the men who made sexual inequality by blaming Eve for the sins of that apple, while Adam was blameless for being unable to resist temptation.

          Because men are weak they have to look big and show off their power, but at the cost of their own reason as they compete with each other and always fail to bring about a society in which all can be equal and content together.

          Until people start sharing and trading rather than acquiring what they think they want by underhand means, then there will be rifts throughout Mankind as there so clearly are between all religions, who zealously guard their beliefs and laws even though they all come from the same roots.

          How can they ever think that they are right and all others are wrong when the Father of all Creation favours not even one above another, so their philosophies are manmade and therefore at risk of being so badly wrong.

          The only truth that is acceptable is the truth that is within each and every one of us, whether we call it our conscience or a spiritual understanding, it is nevertheless the only correctness that is untarnished by the greed of man’s manipulation.

          Let us all look within ourselves and ask, “Are we on the right and truthful path to peace and harmony for all or are we biased against any God made being that is not like us?”

          The truth sometimes hurts, but then it is untarnished by the negativity of this world or else it wouldn’t be the truth!
