Spirituality

"Human effort is necessary only to learn that human effort as such is useless..."

"...and God’s will alone is the real power that controls and brings about all events. When you realise this truth, human effort ceases and divine will starts its work in you, and then you do all things in the freedom of the soul, liberated from care, fear and sorrow." ― Swami Ramdas.

statement: love is sacrifice

Priority request: A catholic friend thought the two were inseparable and I thought it was mostly spiritual ego. Doc made it clear service is not sacrifice, however, it lead to an interesting conversation and he raised some convincing points so I wanted to see how it calibrates.

accepting the Grace of God

Trusting in God’s generosity rather than relying on one’s own merits or behaviors. Priority request.

statement: all beliefs are false

Don't hold those beliefs too tightly!

refusing hypotheticals

A useful practice to move beyond the intellect.

claiming your power (spirituality)

Your power is innate to your spiritual progress and corresponds with the scope of your innate responsibility. To not claim your power is an error, because you'll be unable to fulfill your responsibility. Claiming power that is not yours is, of course, an error.

T/F: everyone is spiritually gifted

Request: Could it be that everyone is spiritually gifted to a certain extent?

inverted morality

Going strong to negativity, weak to the good.

statement: nothing goes unnoticed

Request: Meaning in the grand scheme of things.

quote by Alan Watts

"Stop measuring days by degree of productivity and start experiencing them by degree of presence." Priority request.

feeling energy

Priority request: I hear some people say “I could feel their energy”, “I can feel the energy of these crystals”, or “I can feel the energy of this space” as though to discern whether something as more or less “spiritual” or of a “higher frequency.”

God's timing is perfect

Request: This is simple advice given in usually a Christian context to those plagued by desire, encouraging us to trust in God's omniscient view instead of our own limited and possibly destructive view. Instead of demanding something right now, waiting for when/if God decides it is right.

"There are no accidents and nothing is random"

Priority request: This is something Doc said, often in conjunction with the idea that all is unfolding in karmic perfection and synchronicity. Aligning with this certainly helps alleviate the victim mentality.

statement: intention under 200 is not God’s Will

All karma is due to intentionality. Is it God's will for you to have bad karma? Nope. If so, God would have bad karma, which is absurd.
