The Way of the God of the
Heart
By Rev. William H. Duby
Is
this year going to be like years before where we make resolutions
that we inwardly know damn well we aren't going to keep; or, is this
year going to be the first year that we finally decide to do things
differently so that things can go differently (positive) for a
change?
I often wonder why we have such a psychic bent (negatively
speaking) on doing things our way when we know god damn well that it
doesn't work.
Oh, I know the way we do things seem to work. At least for awhile.
But, sooner or later, all falls apart. Things seem to work well for a
season. Then, when we least expect it, things fall apart as easily as
a brick house in an earthquake.
I wonder, as a humanity, if we have the ability to learn - "how to
learn" - to enjoy doing things the Way of the God of our heart. I say
this sincerely. I am not kidding. For, in truth, that's the only way
things will work for our well being - should we desire the abundant
life-style.
I have learned that it is not up to the Supreme Being to bring us
around to His Way of doing things and treating people. He is not God
(Spirit) for nothing! As far as He is concerned all is well for He
sits upon His Throne in Heaven (invisible realm).
It
is up to us to turn (our mind) around and head (whole-heartedly)
towards the direction of the God of our heart. I say this for a
simple reason. What we need more than anything else in this world is
a sense of direction. Without a sense of direction we will go the
wrong way because we're thinking the wrong way. We will head away
from the God of our heart because we have no heart in which to
experience the love of common sense. So, a sense of direction is
vital for us to be able to psychically discern.
If we desire the abundant life-style of prosperity then it is
entirely within our grasp. As my teacher once said to me, "It is the
Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom. He's not, however,
going to hand it to you on a silver platter. You must reach out and
take it."
I was going nowhere as long as I foolishly thought that doing
things my way (or the way I was taught was my way) would work. (It
would work negatively but not positively). By following directions I
discovered that what I thought was my way wasn't my way. It was the
way of everyone else who failed themselves miserably. I was simply
ego tripping, foolishly thinking I had all the time in the world.
When, in truth, although I did, I didn't really. It was an illusion.
I only had time to get up and become a go-giver rather than a
go-getter. And the sooner I did so, the better. After all, time
stands still for no man.
The banker only desires to loan money when you don't need it.
Believe it or not, it is the same way with the God of your heart. He
will only give you heaven when you don't need it. Since you already
have heaven with you, you don't need heaven once you go within. Then,
you'll see by applying the rules therein - you always had heaven. In
truth, He doesn't know that you are not in heaven. You're only
thinking that you're not. When you quit thinking that way you will be
able to see beyond your thinking and you'll know better, and things
will go better because you've realized that you blocked yourself from
divine insight.
One must already have money or the image of having money before
the banker will feel comfortable in loaning his money. Fortunately,
the God of the heart was wise in the creation of our being. We may
not have wealth as far as money itself is concerned. We do however,
have the image of wealth in which to attract like kind. It is called
the Celestial Image and Spiritual Likeness of God as His child
dearest. Simply put, we're a spiritual being that is empowered beyond
belief. When we exercise faith by delighting in a charitable heart -
we begin to radiate upon that image of wealth.
Drop
the beliefs of the world (lower self image) and the world will pay us
handsomely. Doing so, is known by the wise as being in heaven. Why?
We are a being from heaven that is always being in heaven and all the
elegance thereof is ours to behold. So it's just a matter of
entertaining the thoughts of heaven for the world to match with like
wealth. It is not capital as money that we need as much as it is a
capital idea that we are ideally suited to entertain. A capital idea
will always bring forth a corresponding thought form such as money.
Once that has been accomplished the material item or immaterial
result will manifest in due time. If we want to get out of survival,
we first must survive, by rising above the poverty consciousness
where prosperity consciousness resides as the realm of brilliant
ideas. When we do, the corresponding wealth will begin to manifest if
we hold the good thought in mind by being mindful.
One must already have heaven within if they are going to enter
within and seize the opportunity of manifesting the abundant
life-style of eternal prosperity. So, desiring not to fool myself any
longer I got with it. I realized that I had no choice left but to
enter within until I found my heaven and/or the empowerment to
manifest my prosperity upon earth for the well being of my body and
my soul. I began to walk upon the spiritual path by taking my first
step, as a course of action, in remaining focused upon the higher
self image of myself in relationship to the God of my heart, as done
already, and became empowered to do what I realized rather than waste
my life by thinking what I thought I knew.
To know and not do is the same as not knowing at all.
Thinking about what you know is only thinking.
Many people think they know something. They do. What they know is
their thinking and that's all. They waste their life thinking about
what they know rather than realizing what they know so that they can
get up and do.
Heaven is a state of mind where the heart of the soul is upright
in awareness with self. Many people believe that they will enter
heaven at some time in the future. Namely, after death. The only life
after death is the life you lived before death. If it's not heaven
now, then it will not be heaven later.
The kingdom (realm of spirit) of heaven is here. It is here in the
now and not later. It is within you and I. If it doesn't come alive
before we're dead, then when we die, heaven will be just as dead, as
we are no longer alive. Those on the other side are not stupid. They
are people just like youJune 11, 2005e only difference between them and us is the realm in
which we live and have our being. We live in the visible world and
they live in the invisible world. Both worlds exist on earth. They
are just different planes located on the same planet. There are just
as many governments there as here. There are laws of the astral
planes just like there are laws of the physical world. No one enters
heaven with a "give me attitude." In fact, no one enters heaven as
long as they are not at peace with the God of their heart.
Symbolically speaking, at peace with themselves and all others upon
earth.
All within heaven are wealthy beyond belief. If we desire to enter
that realm then we must drop the beliefs of poverty (negative)
consciousness. This is why we are upon earth. To rid ourselves of all
negativity of complaining. To tame our tongue of spewing forth such
words and attitudes of can't and unfair. We can when we want to, and
we can't when we don't want to. Our major problem is that we
misrepresent ourselves upon earth by entertaining the multitude of
mis-perceptions of others who have a psychic bent towards negativity
of every sort.
The upcoming year is beginning, like all previous years. If you
desire to experience the joy of being happy, healthy, wealthy and
whole in body, mind and soul awareness, then a sincere effort on your
part to do so must be more important than anything else upon this
earth. I guess I am saying that you must become focused and remain
focused upon that ideal as if it has already happened. And, needless
to say, if you've got the idea then the ideal is attainable. If not,
well not. You can't have it. And, I might add, if you can't have it
then you won't be able to allow anyone else to have it. That's why
you will start complaining. You'll come up with every excuse under
the sun as to why you are complaining. Of course, all of the excuses
will be justified. There won't be any bad excuses. Every excuse will
appear to be logical. In truth, you simply can't have it. The
negativity has got a hold of your heart because you chose to remain
lazy minded.
Prosperity is yours for the asking of the God of your heart. As
you arise in consciousness (become wise) the conscience of your soul
awareness will bring forth the conviction to tame your tongue in
spewing forth negativity. As time progresses, you'll become very good
at catching yourself before you invoke negativity, by thinking stupid
thoughts that lay dormant in everyone. The more you catch yourself
the better off you will be. In due time - prosperity will begin to
appear in your lifestream on all levels of financial, mental,
spiritual and physical.
The only new year resolution that is worthwhile is to resolve that
you are happy, healthy, wealthy and whole in body, mind and soul
awareness that is decided to look beyond the appearances of trouble
or lack. Maintain that resolution and the evolution of prosperity
will come in due time. Let your outlook be a positive experience of
being on the lookout to be more aware of being aware when you are
starting to become negative. Stop the habit by exercising the
techniques and concepts taught here at the Academy and you'll be glad
you did. After all, why be negative when positive will do? Negative
won't do. That's why the positive have a better life-style. They are
do-ers. Go-givers rather than go-getters!
Let this year be the best year of your life thus far. You can do
it once you make up your mind. Realize, if you try to do it, and
fail, your mind wasn't made up. Sit down, take a load off your mind.
In other words, meditate until the negative departs. Get up and start
again as if you had recovered from a fainting spell. It doesn't
matter how many times you fail. It only matters that you finally
succeed. That's how it was with Thomas Edison. He failed 3,000 times
in trying to invent the light bulb. Does anybody care that he failed?
No. They only care that he invented the light bulb. So, don't start
until you are determined to try and try and try until you succeed.
Then, believe it or not, you've won before you begin! Happy New
Year!
