THE SOLUTIONS
1. ACCEPT WHAT IS HAPPENING TO YOU IN THE NOW.
The most liberating thing we can do in our life is to accept what is happening to us Now. By resisting an event in our life, we are giving it the power to hurt us and disturb our peace of mind. We cannot blame any one for what is happening to us because we are co-creators of our own life. God has created a good purpose for our life but we also have the freedom to follow our own egotistical path. The suffering and disagreeable events that come our way are indicating to us that we are not choosing to realize the good purpose for which we have been created. If we want things to change, we must change our ways. Fear is the unwillingness to surrender to the Omnipresence of Reality. Whatever is happening to us is Reality. Surrendering to God or Love eliminates all fear and suffering.
2. REMEMBER THAT THE ONLY REALITY IS THE OMNIPRESENT NOW.
The past and future exist only in our mind: only the present is real. The past exists as a memory and the future as a possibility in spiritual substance. And reality is eternal and omnipresent. When we worry about the future, we are impressing our subconscious mind with negative images and actually contributing to their future realization on the physical plane. We are, in effect, planting the seeds of what we fear will happen and creating it ourselves. Similarly, when we are resentful about some past event, we are also impressing the subconscious with more negativity. The Truth is that the future is open to all possibilities and we must let the divine pattern of our life realize itself. We do this by having faith in the powers of Heaven and intending and doing only what is good and useful.
3. ACCEPT COMPLETE RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT IS HAPPENING IN YOUR LIFE.
Sometimes it is difficult to believe that we are completely responsible for our own life. Some persons cannot understand why they are so lucky while others cannot understand what they have done to deserve such misery. Just by the fact that we are a human being, we embody all the false beliefs of mortal mind and we reap their consequencess. The truth is that the causes of our own present circumstances are deep and far reaching. But we can determine what our loves and beliefs are by the circumstances in our life. If we are experiencing discord and suffering, it means that our beliefs are false and our loves are destructive. The reality is that we have to deal with our present circumstances, whatever they are. When we accept responsibility for our life, we stop blaming and resenting others and stop the impression of negativity upon our subconscious.
4. STUDY AND UNDERSTAND THE LAWS AND WISDOM OF THE UNIVERSE EVERY DAY.
Evil is the result of ignorance. The more we study and understand the laws of the universe, the more we will understand why we should be creative, good, selfless, useful and loving. Selfishness only stops Divine Love and Wisdom from flowing continuously into our being and blessing our life with health, joy and prosperity. No one can prevent us from choosing to be egotistical, lustful, greedy or ignorant because the universe is founded on spiritual liberty. We must freely choose to be kind, giving and forgiving. But the Lord is always trying to steer us back to holiness through the suffering we encounter. Selfishness is a spiritual prison we create for ourselves by not obeying the laws of Heaven.
5. HAVE FAITH IN THE GOODNESS OF HEAVEN.
When we only believe in what we sense and rely upon our limited intelligence, we live in fear. But when we surrender to the infinite power and intelligence of Divine Love and Wisdom, our fear disappears. Our problem then is to convince ourselves that the purpose of the universe is good. There is plenty of evidence to suggest that evil and suffering are also present in the universe. But evil and suffering are only the inevitable result of freedom. The good purpose of the universe can only be realized freely and willingly, and no one is forced to go to Heaven. Just as certain individuals in society who choose not to obey civil laws must be imprisoned to protect others, in the spiritual world, those who have chosen not to obey the laws of Heaven imprison themselves in their egotistical hell.
6. BECOME WISE, CREATIVE, PURE, FORGIVING, HUMBLE, SELFLESS AND HELPFUL TO OTHERS AND THE LORD.
If you want to receive the blessings and joy of Heaven, you must obey the laws of Heaven in your own life. By obeying the laws of Heaven, your being vibrates at the same frequency as Heaven and Divine Love and Wisdom can flow into your life. Selfishness blocks the flow of universal energy. Lust draws your energies into spheres of suffering. Greed creates a vacuum that draws from what you already have. And abuse results in the roller coaster of vice. Release all these distorted ways and keep your mind on your purpose. Your purpose is usually an occupation that brings you joy. It is work which comes easily to you because you have been endowed by Heaven with certain unique powers. Such work is always creative and helpful to others. When you love what you do, it becomes effortless.
7. BE JOYFUL IN WHAT YOU DO AND ATTRACT THE BLESSINGS OF HEAVEN.
We create the circumstances in our life by the nature of our will and understanding. For example, if we believe that the universe is inherently cruel, random and meaningless, our beliefs will create and manifest cruel and meaningless circumstances in our life. Then, our arrogant ego can proudly say that it was right. Our ego has in effect created its own miserable universe. What is the real nature of the universe then? The Truth is that the universe contains infinite possibilities and Reality is infinitely good. In fact, our small miind tends to limit the power of God. With God all things are possible and God has the power to bring about any event into our life. If we ask for something and do not obtain it, it is only because it would not be good for us in the long-run or our being is not strong or courageous enough to receive it. In order to manifest a beautiful and meaningful life, our being must already be vibrating at the higher frequencies of Heaven. To be at those high frequencies, we must be pure, selfless, forgiving and receptive to new possibilities. What God wants for us is infinitely better than what we want for ourselves. We must also continually watch our intentions, thoughts and internal dialogue because they are creating our life circumstances. Feelings of negativity are simply a way for God to tell you that you are presently on the wrong path while feelings of joy indicate that you are on the road to Heaven. If you are a human being, when you are in the process of doing something creative, useful and loving, you should be in a state of eternal joy.
8. FORGIVE AND LOVE OTHERS AND YOU WILL BE COMPLETELY FREE
The "I AM" that is in every human being is ONE and the same. So, others, are really a reflection of our own self. In fact, the faults and qualities that we see in others are usually within our own self. When we condemn or resent anyone, we are actually condemning our own self and keeping our own self in prison. If we wish to be completely free, we must liberate others in consciousness. We must forgive all sinners (even murderers) in consciousness. It is not our job to judge anyone. And we must rest assured that the Law will judge everyone according to their beliefs, intentions and deeds. Our job is to manifest the glory and grace of God who is all Mercy and Grace.
"We are told, “Forgive if ye have aught against any, that your father also, which is in Heaven, may forgive you. But if ye forgive not, neither will your father forgive you.” This may seem to be some personal God who is pleased or displeased with your actions but this is not the case.Consciousness, being God, if you hold in consciousness anything against man, you are binding that condition in your world. But to release man from all condemnation is to free yourself so that you may rise to any level necessary; there is therefore, no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus. Therefore, a very good practice before you enter into your meditation is first to free every man in the world from blame. For LAW is never violated and you can rest confidently in the knowledge that every man’s conception of himself is going to be his reward. So you do not have to bother yourself about seeing whether or not man gets what you consider he should get. For life makes no mistakes and always gives man that which man first gives himself."
Neville Goddard 9. RELEASE ALL EGOTISTICAL DESIRES
When man fell from the Grace, Love and Truth of paradise, he became an egotistical creature of ignorance, fear and desire. Ignorance, fear and desire have their roots in a lack of Love and Wisdom. By continually studying Divine Wisdom, we can dispel the darkness of ignorance and understand the origin and nature of fear and desire. By releasing all personal desires, we indirectly erase all fears and abide in the reality of Love. Fear has its roots in the desire to control our life, to be secure and to have the approval of others. When we release or let go of all these desires and surrender to God, we abide in the peace and security of Love. And when we abide in Love and Truth, we see heaven manifested in our life as health, joy, companionship and abundance.
10. THE UNIVERSE IS ALWAYS RIGHT
You must decide once and for all if you are right or the universe is right. All those human beings who have created their own selfish hell believe that they are smarter than God and His universe. By your suffering, the universe is telling you that what you believe is false and what you love is corrupt. If you insist that your beliefs are true and your loves are legitimate, then you will continue to suffer in your own self-created hell. If you admit that God and His universe are just and you repent or change your mind, you will automatically be released from your spiritual prison. You remain in prison through self-love and self-righteousness and you are released from prison through repentance, forgiveness and compassion.
