The Buddhists have the four noble truths and we have our own version of four noble Truths:
- We are Spiritual Beings (and we can awaken to our own divinity)
- There is only One Thing, and that One Thing is God (and we can awaken to this Presence)
- The Creative Process is always at work, the Law of Cause and Effect (and we can awaken and be in harmony with the Law)
- God is good, all the time: 24/7/365 (and we can awaken up and align ourselves with that Good)
The challenge most of us have is in figuring out how
can we remember these Truths more and more each day. We spend a lot of time listening to our mind chatter that keeps us safe and small. When we succumb to fear and live in our cozy comfort zone, we are definitely notremembering these noble Truths.
can we remember these Truths more and more each day. We spend a lot of time listening to our mind chatter that keeps us safe and small. When we succumb to fear and live in our cozy comfort zone, we are definitely notremembering these noble Truths.
The first step in remembering these Truths is to become aware when we are not remembering. We can begin to notice when we feel inferior or superior; notice when we need to feel right and someone or something has to be wrong - and best of all, we can notice without judgment. It's just a pattern of thinking that we can change. Let's change our pattern of thinking toward our four noble Truths and see if it doesn't make a huge difference in the joy, happiness, and quality of our life.
And what if "noticing" is half of the journey to enlightenment?
Wisdom from Ernest Holmes
The great and only awakening that can ever come to us is when we become aware of the fact that that which enables us to think, to be conscious, to be creative, is the Mind of God active within us.
