    ##Why The Book of Life?

    We all live life. How do we know what life really is? There is a saying in which many people say"That's not living!" or "Get a life." You've heard it before. But what is it they are talking about whenthey say this?

    To me, Life is about living the way we are destined to live it. In this book, there are many strategies andspiritual laws, which can be proven to exist. Many already have been proven. And if we live by theselaws in the right way, we have Life. This book is to help inform you of how you can live by those lawsin a way that helps you fulfill your awesome destiny. And so this book is full of life. Hence, the Bookof Life. You may not agree with this book but maybe one single part might be the best ever for you.

    ##Reading Preparation and Clarity.

    What name? What Gender? How do we know who we are talking about?

    No that this section is about unity. It's the way meaning is delivered in this book and I do not want texton a page to deprive anyone from the meaning that can enhance their life in awesome ways. It's ok todisagree. It's not ok to cause fights over text on a page.

    For the sake of reducing clutter confusion and division, this book will refer to the higher power as God.It's the simplest, easiest, and most effective name to call God. The majority of the world would agree.But if you see this differently don't worry, just know that every time I use this term, you willunderstand what I am referring to. You should not change your relationship with God in a way that isdetrimental for you.

    Also for the sake of reducing clutter confusion and division, this book will refer to the higher power asHe. It's the simplest, easiest, and most effective gender to call God. The majority of the world wouldagree. Again, if you see this differently it's ok. Just know it's just the way I deliver meaning in the book.You should not change your relationship with God in a detrimental way for you.

    This is Not being sexist. It's just that as we think of God, the symbolic strength of masculinity isessential to envision God as the most powerful being possible, powerful enough to crush anynegativity. We need all the power we can envision when it comes to spiritual battles.

    That being said, God is fundamentally overflowing with supreme motherly type love. The majormajority of God's interaction with us is out of that love, wanting us to have the best, caring for us withunimaginable care. Spiritual battles become exceptionally rare when we are walking fully in theguidance of God.

    Take for instance a human father who dearly loves his son. He doesn't care if his son calls himPinocchio or if his son refers to him as She. Kids will be kids. As long as his son listens to him andgrows up to be a child he can be thankful for. Now take that love to an extreme and you will start tograsp a glimpse of how much God sees us in this way.

    Here is another hypothetical. A child raised in the jungle by apes, who has never heard of anythingabout God, can still have his heart cry out to the higher power who is based in supreme goodness,compassion, and brotherly love. And when that child does, God will answer.

    So whatever name and gender you know Him as, or refer to Him as, it's ok. As long as when you thinkof Him, it's visualizing Him as the higher power who is based in supreme goodness, compassion, andbrotherly love. Because when your heart calls out to the higher power who is based in supremegoodness, compassion, and brotherly love, there is only one who can answer that call.

    I also use another term where it's associated with the spirit of God inside us. This is the only form of

    God I know exists since I can feel the spirit of God within me, or touching me, or connecting with me.In any case it's the connection I have to God. So for arguments sake, if I say "Holy Spirit", this is whatI am referring to. My direct interacting with the Godly presence energy that I myself believe is withinme.

    So here I have the Higher Power, The Gender, and the direct experience I consciously feel as thePresence of God. What ever you refer to them as is up to you but I can't use them all. So please excuseme for being limited by words and allow me to use these terms to get the highly important meaningacross. God, He, and the Holy Spirit.

    ##What is this book?

    Fundamentally, this book and faith is a scientific discovery of the spiritual laws that govern how welive our lives, and how these spiritual laws of God work. Eg, "You reap what you sow" "What you docomes back times 3" "Karma" "What goes around comes around." Even many atheists know that one.

    Every religion based in supreme goodness, compassion, and brotherly love, has these fundamentalspiritual laws at the core. You can scientifically test the results of how effective it is to live by theselaws. You can scientifically test the benefits of living by these spiritual laws. And the major majority ofthis is common sense when you understand it. You don't have to agree with parts of the content within.You don't have to use all the parts. It's your choice. And not all of it will be right for all people. Everyperson is different and this is about you taking what works for you and using that. Some of this mayeven be wrong but until proven otherwise, we might as well go with what works.

    ##What is the Holian faith?

    It is not an alternative religion. You can keep all your beliefs and rituals and still be a Holian. Just likeChristians have denominations, Holians also have different types of Holian denominations. (JewishHoilans, Muslim Holians, etc.) But these titles should not create separation or pigeon hole us.

    I for one belong to all denominations since if they are following the God who is supreme goodness,compassion, and brotherly love, that's where I belong. If you ask me to pick one, I can't. Because Idon't separate them. They all have awesome things they can teach me about my relationship with God.

    The core fundamentals that make us a Holian are these:

    1. We all have a core spiritual goal of being the best (supreme goodness, compassion, and brotherlylove) people we can possibly be.

    2. We have inside us, a spiritual connection to a higher power, which guides us to blessings throughsupreme goodness, compassion, and brotherly love.

    4/40

    The first is our dedication to follow. Without our dedication to freely follow Him, God can't lead. Hedoesn't override your free will. He wants to advise and guide you to blessings but it's your choice if youlet Him or not. So without you choosing to let Him guide you, the second one will never work. Thesecond is God leading us, and also the spiritual relationship flourishing.

    God wants to lead us into a life where spiritually we are whole, and from that overflowing peace and

    joy, have amazing blessings.

    Without taking that spirit of supreme goodness, compassion, and brotherly love into our hearts, we aredoomed to follow the selfish, cruel and evil ways. Tempted into the dark path at every turn with nosupreme goodness, compassion, and brotherly love to fight back the urges.

    The spirit of God is there for us and the forgiveness of God is there too but He can't forgive us if ourheart is still full of the sinful ways.

    Our sinful self must be consciously renounced. We must make the conscious decision to seriouslydedicate ourselves to taking on this spirit of supreme goodness, compassion, and brotherly love into ourhearts, and follow the leading of God to the blessings He has in our future.

    Mind you, you can do this every morning and embrace the spirit of supreme goodness, compassion,and brotherly love into our hearts, every day. As long as the motive of the heart is true and honest, Godwill embrace us.

    Since this is fundamental to all these supreme goodness, compassion, and brotherly love religions, thismeans that billions of us are all linked in the fundamental relationship with God. From there, therelationship is different for all of us. So really there are billions of denominations. No two relationshipsare the same.

    ##Problems detrimental to our spiritual walk in the light.

    There will be large groups of us with similar styles. For instance, The Christians. The Jewish. TheMuslims, etc. But these pigeon hole titles have been a cause for numerous evils to be enacted. Nevershould we fight about such trivial and meaningless issues.

    This brings me to one of the biggest sources of problems in the religions today. People hold onto ideaswith such ferocity, that to even contemplate that they could be wrong strikes fear in their soul. This fearhas them freaking out and they will do anything they possibly can to prove themselves right. Even kill.That's why I am focusing on the reality, which can be tested and proved. Where it's literally got real liferesults that are the basis of the truth.

    Personally, I don't know if there was the burning bush. I wasn't there. Either way it has absolutely norelevance to me today since I don't see how I can use that to make me a better person. Do I believe it'spossible? Sure. For God, anything is possible. Do I believe it happened literally as they say? No.Because God is so much more than words can ever describe.

    Now there is one thing I do know. For me to argue with literal fundamentalists about this subject istotally against what God wants for me. Therefore, when it comes to past events, whether or not they aretrue is irrelevant. What matters is the message and the spiritual laws that can be learned from thosestories. The spiritual laws are the life that God gives us. They are the revelations, which open our mindsto the blessings that are there for us in our future.

    The other source of problems is that we use words in books as our justification. The ink on paper is soinsignificant compared to the relationship with God. Before books were ever invented, God was therewith us. Humans followed God's leading back then without a book. But today we have these amazingbooks with awesome stories of God and His spiritual laws. They are the best way for us to have Godteach us His spiritual laws so that we may live by them and prosper. If anyone ever uses ink and paperas a justification for breaking a spiritual law, it doesn't matter how much they believe they are right.God still sees the heart motive and it pains Him to see people twisting the text to manipulate others orto justify their sinful ways.

    The main thing to understand is that this is about you getting into an awesome relationship with thatforce out there which cares for you and wants to help you and guide you to your blessings. This textyou are reading isn't what matters. That relationship with God is what matters. And don't take this textas 100% accurate since I don't know how our loving God wants to be in His relationship with you.What you have to do is take these laws and see how they work for your life. Test them in a peacefulway and make sure God is the one guiding you and not this book.

    In testing them, you will find that these are fact and testable in the real world. Science can not arguewith these laws since they are fact and scientists can physically study them. So these are something thatshould be taught in schools. It's life coping skills and separate from creationism.

    ##How the Spiritual Laws need to be followed.

    The spiritual laws must be based in the positivity of the supreme goodness, compassion, and brotherlylove. They must be based in the reality of our experience of our lives. And they must be testable andseen to be in effect in the world with real life studies of the law proving the way the law works.

    The priorities of what must always come first when making decisions is:

    1. Does the Holy Spirit (The Spirit of God inside us) give me peace and joy about this decision, and notgive me a tense bad feeling about this?

    2. Is it based in Supreme Goodness, Compassion, and Brotherly Love?

    3. How does the spiritual laws govern the consequences of my actions?

    Number 1 governs everything.

    If 2 and 3 are each a massive Yes, but number 1 is that bad feeling, don't do it. If Number 1 is a joy andpeace of 100% knowing that it's the right thing to do from the Holy Spirit, but number 2 isn't a clearyes, I still wouldn't do it. Instead I would be devoted to know why number 2 isn't clear and until I getan answer that gives me peace and joy about number 2, I wouldn't do a thing. But in this, Number 1would be forcing me to rethink number 2.

  • 7/27/2019 46132745 the Book of Life

    6/40

    Number 2. If Number 1 is uncertain, then you can either wait for number 1 to be resolved or you canhave number 2 take over as the decision maker. Often turning to number 2 will give you the answer fornumber 1. This is the priority we can live by most since it's easy and clear to compare to the real world.And a huge percentage of the time this will automatically be full of the peace and joy from number 1.Also when you live in that peace and joy all the time, it's tricky to notice the difference between HolySpirit peace and joy, compared to holy spirit peace and joy.

    Number 3 is where you go when 1 and 2 are yeses but just before you complete the decision, you mustcheck if it's still a yes from 1 and 2 since working out number 3 can often change the answer from 1and 2.

    ##Summary:

    The Holian Faith is about people who live solely by the leading of the "Supreme Being Spirit, AKAHoly Spirit" which is inside us, in a desire to have our Supreme Goodness, Compassion, and BrotherlyLove hearts prospering.

    We are all striving to be the best people we can be in this endeavor and to be a blessing to the world.

    We do not fight about trivial rituals or names etc, since we are focused on learning and studying thereality of how these spiritual laws work and how we can guide our lives to have these laws work mostefficiently for us.

    So let's get to some realities and answer those HUGE questions that are essential to your relationship toGod.

    ##What is God?

    Fundamentally, God is the answer to all those questions in which there is no answer.

    Why are the laws of physics the way they are? What makes the speed of light that speed and not sloweror faster? What was there before the universe started? And what was there before that answer started?For me, God created the Universe. How? I don't know. What physics dominoes He set up to start as achain reaction and how He adjusts it, I don't know. I don't care. But that universe creating power isinside me.

    But that's not what matters. God in the reality is the still small voice of supreme goodness, compassion,and brotherly love that often people call a conscience. But God is so much more.

    A common phrase is "I've got a bad feeling about this." This is the spirit of God inside us guiding uswith much more than a still small voice. But the opposite is true as well in that when we havegoosebumps of awe and goodness and a peace and love wash over us in abundance, God is letting usknow that we are on the right track. This often happens with a huge revelation or when two people talkof God and the presence of God is upon them. It's heavenly.

    And to us humans, that is what God is:

  • 7/27/2019 46132745 the Book of Life

    7/40

    1. The still small voice of supreme goodness, compassion, and brotherly love.2. The bad feeling warning of danger, and3. The peace of the spirit, goosebumps and chills of peace and joy down your spine.

    That is what we know of God for a fact. We can't see Him. We can't record Him. We can't say for sureanything except those 3 experiences we know and feel in relation to God. All else is speculative and

    hear-say, but that doesn't stop it from being real or fact. It just means we can't be 100% sure based onour senses and our experiences in the here and now of existence. But don't let that stop you frombelieving. Just remember that those aren't nearly as important as the relationship with God, and thatthose things should never be allowed to be argued to the point of death.

    The still small voice and leading of the spirit is what gives you the Character of God but beware. Thereis another lurking around trying to temp you to the dark side.

    ##What is satan?

    Satan is the negativity, the selfishness, the fear and the guilt when you have done nothing wrong. Hewill disguise himself as the still small voice and try to lead you to think wrong and to do wrong. But hehas no power but that which you give him. If you give him the power to ruin your life, then he will behappy to oblige. If you are uncomfortable with calling him satan, use any name you want. Negativity,lies, evilness, they all apply but satan is the easiest and most encompassing of all these parts and mosteffective name to use when referring to him or rebuking him.

    This leads me to:

    ##Why does God let bad stuff happen?

    This is the big one that people use all the time to say God doesn't exist, or to say that God is a scumbag. This is extremely sad because in trying to come up with an answer, many have caused moreproblems than solutions.

    Some say God is punishing the people like Sodom and Gomorrah, ancient cities that God was said tohave destroyed. As in God is a vengeful God who will kill you if you anger Him. This isn't true. And Ibelieve the texts are wrong in saying that God had anything to do with slaughtering people. To me, ifthat god is willing to slaughter thousands of innocent children, he isn't a god I want to follow. I neverwant that kind of spirit inside me. No offense. The God I follow is a God of Love.

    The answers can be seen in the first of the following spiritual laws, which are organized into 3 separatecategories:

    ###The spiritual path you walk.

    ***Spiritual law #1

    The Law of Life and Death.

    God set before us life and death. It's our choice which path we step onto. These aren't literal. It's

    spiritual life and spiritual death. It can lead to physical life and physical death but they are not what isreferred to here.

    Picture two paths side by side. The good side has flowers and honey and fruit. Rainbows andbutterflies. The bad side has dead trees, snakes, thunder storms of acid rain, volcano lava flows andfilthy ash. At any given time, you are on one path or the other. God doesn't decide where you go. Youdo.

    God always wants you on the life side where you can get covered in the goodness and blessings inoverwhelming abundance. God has the power to get you onto this path anytime you truly want to bethere.

    Satan wants you on the path of death. He wants to sucker you in with instant gratification and then aftermonths of growing the habit, he wants you to start accepting the negative effects of the dark path andbe ok with it as if it's the norm.

    Let's put this into a practical example. Picture yourself as a little kid. One day walking along withDaddy (God) you see a fire for the first time ever. Your eyes light up with amazement. Wow! You racetowards it. Daddy says, "Don't touch that."

    You stop. But then a little friend comes up and says, "But it's warm. You like being warm right? Youhave to learn about all this stuff."

    You look back at Daddy and say. "It will be ok. I'll only go play near it once."

    Daddy's heart sinks as tears come to His eyes. He watches as you race off to play around the fire.Suddenly you get burnt. You scream.

    Most people would say "God why have you burnt me?"

    But God didn't burn you. He created the law that if you stick your hand in a fire it will get burnt, but Hedidn't stick your hand in the fire.

    It's the same with everything. God can't get you back on the path of life and protect you if you don't askHim to. But the instant you burn yourself, you step back and realize the nasty side of the fire. Satan willinstantly step in and say "It's not that bad. But look at how fun it was to play in the warmth. You wantto learn more about how much fun it is in the warmth right?"

    At any given time, you have a choice to say "Daddy help me!" And He will race straight over and letyou know exactly what to do to get back on track. He will instantly tell you to do something. "Comeaway from the fire."

  • 7/27/2019 46132745 the Book of Life

    10/40

    Satan will instantly remind you of the thing you will lose. "But you won't feel warm anymore. You'll becold and lonely!" He will use fear to try to make you stay.

    But all you have to do is trust Daddy. He will look after you.

    So you walk away from the fire and back onto the path of life. Daddy hugs you and tells you to put

    your hand into the cold stream. Satan will say "But it's cold."

    Some people think of physical death as a bad thing, but what if living past that time means a life worsethan death? We can't begin to know what is good and bad for us in God's plan.

    Example. A Lonely guy may one day get an awesome job. Some would say that's good luck. But on thefirst day of work he breaks his leg. People would say that's bad luck. But then in the hospital, he meetsa gorgeous young nurse who falls in love with him. Some would say that's good luck. And then they getmarried. You get the picture. Good luck? Bad luck? Who knows?

    The point is, the best predictor of future events is past patterns. In your entire life, there have been badtimes and you have gotten through them to experience the good times. So if you have to bet on if youare going to get through this bad time or not, my money would be on yes you will. It's basicallyinevitable. And with this book, it's practically guaranteed.

    This path is a spiritual path. Where you choose how you spiritual life goes and that overflows into yourphysical life. In your physical life, you can not know for sure if an event is good luck or bad luck as theexample above shows. So you just have to trust that there is overwhelming goodness coming and keepyour spiritual life on the right path.

    There is a pattern to God and satan.

    God's way is uncomfortable at first but with work and patience, unbreakable awesomeness prevails.But it's never TOO much for you. God will only ever give you as much as you can handle. And often itcan seem dumb and pointless by human standards.

    Satan's way is instant gratification with no effort and no patience, and the pleasure is broken nearlyinstantly and you have to go back and get more. But each time, the pleasure decreases and the painincreases.

    God's way is about what blessing you can be to others.satan's way is how you can punish those who have hurt you.

    God's way is how you can better yourself spiritually.satan's way is what you can get for yourself physically.

  • 7/27/2019 46132745 the Book of Life

    11/40

    So warning signs as to satan trying to mislead you are:

    1. You will get something out of it that you want.

    2. It offers instant gratification.

    3. It's the easy way or short cut way.

    4. You don't have spiritual peace and harmony. Something isn't right.

    5. You are scared you will lose something.

    The more you listen to God and follow His guidance, the clearer and easier it is to listen and follow thedirections to supreme blessings.

    The more you listen to satan, then the harder it is to hear from God and the harder it is to do what isright. This brings in the next Law.

    ***Spiritual law #2

    The Law of Habit.

    This is what happens when someone says a heart has been hardened. It's just The Law of Habit. Themore you do something, the easier it is to do. The more you do something, the harder it is to dosomething else.

    Habits form around 21 days. That's why with instant gratification, it's easy to be suckered into a badhabit. Where as good habits are uncomfortable and they take time and effort to develop before theystart paying off.

    See if you follow satan, he won't help you at all through the bad stuff. He will instead mislead you anddistract you from the real problem and get you focused on anything else so that you stay on the darkpath. Often people will crack under the pressure and ask for help. The deeper you are in a hole, theharder it is to dig yourself out.

    It's like walking on the dark path for 20 years and you collect 20 years worth of filth and mud and painand suffering. Thorny vines entangle you. So when you try stepping over to the path of life, the vinesdig in hard and hurt and try to pull you back. Without asking for God's help, you will be pulled backinto the dark.

    God will help you get untangled but with 20 years of crap, it's not easy. He will start with small thingsand as you get untangled, probably things you think insignificant and stupid. Often the things that seemstupid are the hardest to do. Like, trying to work out how to pay a massive bill and God tells you tothrow out favorite death metal CDs. But if you do them, things will get better and better.

    On the path of life, you might gain 20 year of blessings. And the more you do it the more you aredisgusted by the thought of giving them up.

  • 7/27/2019 46132745 the Book of Life

    12/40

    ***Spiritual law #3

    The Law of You Reap What You Sow.

    This is the one most people know of. It's when you do good to others, good things will come to you.

    It's the same with bad things. Do bad and bad will come back to bite you. This is very much the driving

    force behind how the paths work. The more you do bad on the bad path, the more bad will come backto get you.

    When you think about it, this is relatively logical. Think about it. If say you steal stuff. Stealing meansthat you will most likely not hang around people who are goody goody two shoes. You'll probably hangaround people who can help you with ideas about how to steal. This will mean that one day, you willhave something they want and they will steal it from you.

    The same is said in reverse. If you start helping people out, they don't feel like they have to bedefensive around you. It's like you are an asset. And the more you help people, the more they want tohelp you back.

    This takes on a repetitive process. In all harvesting there are steps.

    1. Preparing the foundations.

    Success is when preparation meets opportunity. Opportunity comes to everyone. The question is, areyou prepared to make the most of it? The more prepared we are for things the more we can make themost of them. So the fundamental basis of this is to make sure your foundation is super strong.

    God's blessings won't come to you until you have got a strong foundation. There is more on this laterwhere it coincides with the Law of Inside Before Outside. It also coincides with the Law of Force. Youcan't force something to grow if you don't have a foundation for it to grow in. If your spiritual life iscontaminated, then how can you grow decent fruit from that poisonous soil?

    This goes for everything. Stars can't form unless there is a solid foundation of gaseous clouds. It's theway of the universe.

    2. Planting the seed.

    This is huge. The seed works with everything. You can't force a seed to take in nutrients. You just haveto have a solid foundation and plant the seed in there where it will naturally grow.

    This works both ways. Where one child is told by a doctor about how good it is to save a life, that childnurtures that seed and it grows in them more and more to the point where later in life they become adoctor. And it all starts with that one seed from that one doctor, using the Law of the Butterfly Effectlaw to have profound changes.

  • 7/27/2019 46132745 the Book of Life

    13/40

    The other way it can operate is in the darkness where one small seed of doubt can spark a huge fall insomeone. Where they are asked, "Are you sure you can do this?" And suddenly they are second-guessing God's plan for their life. They start getting nervous and worried which contaminates theirfoundation and when an opportunity comes along, they aren't prepared and that confirms their worriesand fears, leading them to start believing they aren't ready for anything. But this process can be stoppedat any time by ripping this weed out of the foundation and reworking the soils to be pure and nutrient

    filled again.

    Is all about spiritual nutrition for the soul. Filling oneself, everyday, with Godly wisdom such as theinformation you are currently reading. It's about removing all the weeds and poisons of bad habits andbad thinking. It's about being careful what seed you plant in that soil and constantly being a gardener ofyour spiritual life and your soul.

    3. Nurturing the seed.

    The seed needs to be watered. This coincides with the "Law of Attraction." You need to maintain yourfocus and belief. You need your spiritual energy to be high like water levels on your foundation. Youdon't actually touch the seed. Don't try to make your seed grow, just make sure the foundation is perfectfor it to grow. In reality terms this is like when you might help a friend. You be there for them andencourage them and be a great friend.

    You can then put the seed there when you feel you see what God wants for them in their life. Maybeyou see someone is awesome at something so you tell him or her how awesome they are. You talkabout the awesome things they could do with that gift. That's planting the seed. But your friend needsto be happy and encouraged to be able to have the seed grow. It's all about making sure they have agreat foundation for their seeds to grow. But you wouldn't then keep pushing that seed since that'spushy. People don't like pushy. It's about planting the seed idea and then just making sure you have agreat friendship where you are there for them when they need you.

    You have to also keep weeds out. This is about looking for anything that can hinder the growth of yourseed. Satan's crap. If you know there is a weed there and you leave it there, it can destroy your fruittree. In other words, you can have a bit of a bad habit and think it will never effect your success in acareer but in some way, it will. Maybe one day someone really important will find out about your habitand then in not liking it, choose someone else just as you are about to fulfill your life long dream. Itonly takes one weed in the right spot to strangle your fruit tree.

    Weeds start with seeds too. It may be that curiosity about how cool it would be to smoke. The more youwater that seed idea and allow it to grow, the bigger it will become. And soon you have a weed thatchokes the land it grows on. Bad ground creates more of these weeds since weeds can grow inanything. But fruit trees need good soil and tender love and care. Weeds you can hack at all you wantand they won't die. You have to get to the root of the problem and rip it from your life entirely. Youleave any part of the root in there and that damn weed will grow back.

    Also environments effect weeds and orchids in the same way. Hang around people with fruit trees andfruit seeds land in your ground. Weeds shed their filthy seeds everywhere. This coincides with the"Law of People rub off on you."

    4. Harvesting.

    There is a time to collect. It's crucial that you know when this is since you don't want to bury yourharvest thinking it's seed. Learning to distinguish between these is highly important. You may get a bitof money. God tells you to invest in some small business venture. That's seed money. The harvestcomes when the business is making money. Some of that you will want to plant but you do have to feed

    your family, friends, and the less fortunate. So when you have fruit, spread it around where God wantsyou to help others, and use some of it to invest in new crops.

    You need to know when the harvest is ready too. God will let you know when but often you can seethat things are self-sufficient in that area and growing strong. Fruit is plentiful. Sometimes you maypull the entire harvest to start a new even bigger crop. Point is, you have to look at it and follow whatGod wants you to do.

    Harvest isn't always good. Sometimes the harvest is just all prickle bushes to the point where the land isunworkable. Only God could ever clean up such a mess. Smokers often don't see the numerous thornsin the weeds until it's too late.

    This preparation, seed, nurturing, and harvest, applies to everything. The formation of stars all the wayto human reproduction. From a world war all the way to making your breakfast. It's a spiritual law thatif used well, can give you a bountiful crop. Bon Apptit.

    ***Spiritual law #4

    The Law of People Rub Off On You.

    Much like The Law of You Reap What You Sow. But this is where the people you hang around tend tohave ideas that make sense, and in turn, you have ideas that line up and support what they say. You canlook this up since it's a scientifically documented phenomena called Polarization. People of like mindstend to gather together and they become more specialized in their likeness.

    This is a big reason why fundamentalists have so much trouble dealing with other people. Their groupknows what they are on about but the rest of the world thinks they are loopy. Again this comes down tothe balance law.

    ***Spiritual law #5.

    The Law of Forgiveness.

    Forgiveness is a massive tender spot among the religions. Even through the Bible it changes a fewtimes and causes controversy. Fundamentally, a person who is guilt ridden from sin is utterly uselessfor God. And satan has a field day.

    Guilt can come in 2 forms.

    1. Real guilt.

    This is when you know for a fact that you have done something wrong against God's will. You're on thepath of death and you know it. "Oh God I'm so sorry."

  • 7/27/2019 46132745 the Book of Life

    15/40

    2. False Guilt.

    This is when maybe you are overly nice. Someone else preys off that niceness and lays on a guilt tripthat is unwarranted. Satan will use this to get you to give away all your money. For example, the timewhen God wants you to use money to get yourself to a healthy state, so that you can help people 100times more in the way God wants you to help. Satan will always try to make you give away or spend

    your seed money.

    Many evangelists and churches will lay this guilt upon you to get offerings out of you. "These starvingchildren need you to send $1000 to give them a well, don't turn your back on them. Don't let them diewhen you can do something. Are you going to let this child of God suffer?"

    Sometimes this is needed and is important but it may not be what God wants you to do. God may haveplans for you to use that $1000 to invest in your small company idea, which will take off producingmillions, and then God will get you to send millions over to help out those children. If you give awaythat $1000 right now instead of doing what God wants, not only do the children suffer but you do too.

    This is not a justification to be selfish. Your goal in life should be to help out as many people aspossible. The way you do this is to get yourself into a position to help as many people as possible.Never feel guilty when your heart is in the right place and you know where God is guiding you. If youfeel this false guilt ever, rebuke satan and reaffirm your trust in God. Then pray that God will look afterthose people in awesome ways.

    Guilt is the number one problem most people have. They are guilt ridden from regrets in the past thatthey can't shake and it constantly harasses them. They can't seem to understand that God forgives them.

    God will forgive anyone who realizes the wrong they have done, vows they will never do it again, andseeks God to forgive them. The instant they do those 3 things, God has them in a position where He cansever the Law of You Reap What You Sow and stop the path of death from dragging them down further,but they must also forgive themselves. Guilt is not helping God one bit. It screws up His ability to leadus to our blessings. So if you continue to hold onto guilt, you are not doing God's will.

    Satan will constantly remind you of the regrets and wrongs you have done. But the instant you knowyou have the right heart motive and you have renounced the past, you can thank God for yourforgiveness and thank Him for putting you back on the path of life. When satan tries to drag you backwith guilt, rebuke him and reaffirm your truth that you are forgiven by God, to be an effective followerof His awesome plan for us and for others through us.

    This also goes for forgiving others. If you don't forgive someone, then you can't guide him or her toawesomeness. And you keep them in a state of guilt. This unforgiveness is based in hatred and hatredwill block God's ability for Him to bless you. Often it's due to a fear that if the victim forgives the badperson, then the victim thinks this is saying it's ok for the bad person to do that bad thing. The truth isthat Forgiveness is the release of hatred and the desire for that person to be free of the torment andsuffering that the path of death is killing them with.

    16/40

    I'm to a state now where anyone bad is a victim of satan's trickery, and they are suffering 100 timesmore than anything they can do to me. They are in either of 2 situations. 1. Feeling the guilt of doingwrong and having no way to feel forgiven. Or even worse, number 2. To suffer so much and hardenone's heart to the point where they are used to doing bad and have no qualms about being evil. In these2 situations, they are never knowing the awesomeness of God's grace and love. To me, thats a fateworse that death and I believe theyve suffered enough.

    But still, sometimes it is extremely hard to forgive. It takes massive strength, massive amounts of helpfrom God, and massive amounts of time. But when it comes down to it, the choice has the possibility tobe made in a split second.

    The great thing is that God is there to help those through the pain and to bring them back to a place oflove and peace. To bring them back into God's kingdom of spiritual joy and blessings.

    ***Spiritual law #6

    The Law of Inner Before Outer.

    One huge element of this is you must fix yourself before you can fix others.This law also works for blessings in conjunction with the flooding rule.

    In order to have blessings on the outside, you need to be overflowing on the inside.

    You can't work from the outside in. It doesn't work that way. You can surround yourself with all theright people and do all the right actions and be the best Christian on earth, but if your heart is sufferingand your spirit is in agony, you will never get any true blessings from any of it. All of it will befruitless. Because if you are miserable on the inside, then the pick me ups you get from all that worldlystuff will just be a temporary high just like a drug.

    No! You must work on the inside first. You are allowed to be selfish at first in the sense of getting yourspirit right. Because until you get a clean spirit, you are pretty useless. Not totally useless. Yourpotential is so awesome and useful that you can save the world several times and never know it. Savemillions of lives and not even know. Your use and value is above and beyond anything you can everimagine. But you have to take off those chains and unlock the prison to let your true worth into theworld. Break away those dark walls inside. Spend as much time as you need to get yourself to a pointwhere you can function the way God intended you to be. Be your awesome spiritual self inside so youcan overflow into the physical world.

    Many people find they have trouble with relationships, and it's not until they give up looking to apartner to complete them, and start focusing on the inside, only then can they have the love they aredestined to have.

    You have to love yourself before you can love others. It's only by the overflowing on the inside that theflood can spread to others.

    If you are miserable and someone needs cheering up, then going around there is not going to help. Youcan lie about it and hide it all you want but the energy is there and it will effect others. The Law ofPeople Rub Off On You is a big part of this. That's why it's so important to allow God to deal with theclutter inside your soul and clean you up before you can fully explore the awesomeness of God.

    Many people will "Try God." Try before you buy thing. It never works and then they believe Goddoesn't exist. Well in their world, He couldn't exist. How could He if they wouldn't let Him in. Whichbrings me to the next Law.

    ***Spiritual law #7

    The Law of It'll Get Worse Before It Gets Better.

    When a house needs cleaning, you have to go in there, pull out everything, and make a huge mess ofeverything everywhere so it can be sorted. Some of the things inside you may be dug in pretty deep andGod will pull them out. Problem is, when they are pulled out, they fight and kick and scream.

    Look at smoking. You give up. 2 days pass. It starts getting worse and worse until you get to thatbreaking point. It's a level that you can handle with God's help but it's a battle of extreme measures.Once that point is broken, things get easier.

    This brings me to the next Law

    ***Spiritual law #8

    The Law of You Will Be Tested.

    As soon as you overcome a barrier, there will be a test. It will be huge. It allows God to see if you havetruly changed and embraced your new self. It also allows you to have a confidence from then on that ifyou passed that test, you can pass them all.

    The test comes right at the worst time.

    So for smokers who have made it through the worst, they then have something highly frustratinghappen right at a tense time. Satan will push all their buttons and do everything he can to get themsmoking again but God is there for them and if they need help, they only need to call on God to helpthem through.

    ***Spiritual law #9

    The Law of Balance.

    God is on one extreme end of the scale towards good, but He isn't all the way. He is backed off a little.Satan will always push you to one extreme or another where the rule you live by is an over reaction andis flawed. There is always an exception to the rule. "Do not steal food! Unless the alternative is lettingpeople starve to death." "Always give to the poor, unless it means you will be unable to help outothers." "Always help out people who are having trouble, unless they are going to drain you or corruptyou away from the light."

    God will let you know when it's getting too much of an extreme. Just remember that nothing isconcrete, and you never really know anything for sure. Everything is open to change and being flexibleand willing to be firm in what God wants you to do, will allow you to obey God when it comes to thosetimes of breaking the rules.

  • 7/27/2019 46132745 the Book of Life

    18/40

    This is not a justification for breaking the rules. We should all do our best to obey every rule designedto inherently be good, except when it comes to hurting others or hurting ourselves. Foremost we mustact out of brotherly love, compassion, and supreme goodness. When a rule counters that, we must standfirm in the supreme Goodness of God, the Compassion of God, and the Brotherly love of God.

    ***Spiritual law #10The Law of Story.

    Stories are a fictional set of events structured to portray meaning and to evoke emotions. But thisstructure is based on the way we as humans experience growth and life.

    There is a structure to movies called the hero's journey. The concept of this is based on JosephCampbell who studied mythology and religion, as well as dream reading. Dreams are the brainsexpression of things in our lives. Dream reading is a powerful way to help us work out things in ourlives that are stopping us from being all we can be. It's mainly about how the dream relates to the majorevents going on in a person's life.

    Anyway, Campbell studied how the mythology lined up with the human psyche. Stories work becausethey are structured like events in our lives.

    We are doing our normal everyday thing. An event happens to us, which gives us an opportunity to stepinto a new world of experience. Of course we are a little scared of the unknown and if it ain't broke,don't fix it. But after someone or something encourages us to step into the new world, we go make ithappen.

    Of course we don't know what we are doing here. It's weird and we have to learn how to cope. Peoplehelp us to pass the tests. Soon we know enough to be confident we can do the job. But that's where weare informed of the practical world and what we really need to do. We go after it, diving into thedarkness and soon we find there is something we didn't expect. We are shocked and our whole life ofconfidence is killed off. We are humbled by the experience. This new humbled life is a rebirth thatallows us to take the road back with the new knowledge we have which we can share with others.

    Bit over our head?

    Ok. Say you are a photographer get a phone call and someone offers you a job to do something you areunsure if you can do or not. A wedding. You tell them you will think about it. You talk to someoneabout it and he or she says go for it. You do. You go out to the job and meet some people who walk youthrough what you need to do. They say where the wedding will take place and stuff. You do a few littletest runs with the camera and angles to work out how you will approach it. You get used to this newjob. Then the guy tells you the specifics of the job. He wants you to make sure you get the perfect shotsof them kissing. The wedding starts and you take photos but somewhere there is some sort of screw up.There always is. You're idea of how easy this would be is shattered and you start freaking out. But youhumble yourself and get over it. You ask for a little help and you get the photos you are supposed toget. Now that it's time to go home, the guy comes after you asking you how it went and when he willget the photos etc. You get home and tell someone what you learned about that type of job.

    Same can be said for getting a new type of bread from a new shop.

    19/40

    This is one element of how story works. It works because it's real life. It happens to use whenever wetake on something new. Yes it may not be exact but the principle is rather sound.

    So in this, you can anticipate this progression of events in any given situation where you are calledupon to do something you have never done before. You can prepare and be comfortable when certainevents arise. Knowing this will give you a tool that many other people miss out on and so where they

    fail due to not knowing this, you will succeed.

    But that's not all.

    There is another structure that is extremely powerful. It's in the form of the wound.

    See many people suffer an event that is an ongoing source of emotional pain. Maybe a gorgeous girluses her looks to con a man into spending all his money on her. It's so bad that the person comes upwith this motto they live by. "I'm never going to trust a gorgeous girl ever again!"

    This is an over exaggeration and an extreme. The exception to the rule then causes problems becausethis person is so scared they will be ripped off again, that they refuse to trust a gorgeous girl who issincere.

    The interesting thing here is that in not trusting gorgeous women, there becomes a hole in the guy's life.Be cause he starts longing for a gorgeous woman who will spend time with him.

    The motto has a flaw where it creates this longing.

    Ok so say you have a longing for something. You want money. Someone says, start up a business. Butyou are scared of starting a business. It's too much responsibility. See What you are scared of, oftencomes from some past event or teaching that has you stuck with some sort of extreme idea that stopsyou from getting what you long to have.

    It's all about identifying the fear and the extreme one-sided motto you have in regards to avoidingfacing that fear. Once you work out the motto, you can check it with reality and change it. Face thefear, get over it, and get what you are longing for.

    So the key is to isolate what the fear is and where it comes from. Then it's about looking at the rule youhave that is extreme and problematic. Once that is isolated, you can then check that rule against realityand see the falsities within it, where the rule can be incorrect and misleading. That is where the ruleneeds to be dropped and an exception to the rule, or complete ditching of the rule is required. Once youdo that, you will be tested where you come up against a point where you have to face your fear. Onceyou overcome that fear, you can then move past the life disabling problem and rise up to succeed wherepreviously you could not.

    So keep an eye out for this in your life. If you see it, you will know how to address it. But also,whenever you are hit with a wound and you are about to make one of those over reacting rules, thinkagain. It could be something that causes you problems for the rest of your life.

    ***Spiritual law #11

    The Law of Passive, Assertive, and Aggressive Behavior.

    This is a form of personality types. Ideally we all have to learn how to be assertive. This is about firmlysticking to the few core principles that you refuse to allow to be broken by others, and the instant theyare slightly broken by someone, speaking up in a calm firm voice expression the principle and form

    then not to do the offensive behavior again. This can be overdone though.

    The idea is to not be consumed by the trivial things. A person should only ever be reprimanded whenthey have directly made a decision that is in direct conflict with the highly important principle. Forinstance, someone in your house trips on a table leg and totally destroys the $3000 dollar TV. This isnot something you can reprimand since accidents happen. Now if they were wrestling in yourapartment, before they get to the point of smashing the TV, you put a stop to it. "Oy! Wrestling belongsoutside. Quit it before you break something." It needs to be a calm tone though, and spoken while in acalm state of mind.

    Little things shouldn't be reprimanded. Someone leaving a toothpick on the table shouldn't be worriedabout. If you don't like it, you can clean it up yourself much easier and with less stress by adaptingyourself. The alternative is constantly abusing someone you care about for every time they forget andleave the toothpick there. Where ever you can adapt to make sure you yourself control your actions in away that fixes the problem without breaching your core principles, then do it.

    A friend who loves to steal something small off you can still be your friend. He just can't come insideyour house is all. Problem solved. You still get to enjoy all the benefits of the relationship withoutlaying out a huge temptation for that person's weakness to be given into. If you have a friend who is agenius and a great person but their only weakness if he's a recovering heroine addict, then you justadapt and don't take him to places where there are drugs and drug addicts.

    And so you build up an adapted way to treat different people. A friend of mine would always ask forfavors. Some people would always say yes to the favors thinking he would get upset if you said no. Buthe never got upset. I just used to say "As if. You give me 100 bucks and I'll think about it." And he'dlaugh. Yet other people who always do favors and never ask, if they asked me the same thing, I wouldhave to work out the best way to help them.

    Instead of being cruel to people who seriously are in need, or always giving into someone who loves toask for favors, I just adjusted to best get along with both people. Every rule has an exception to therule. No rule is black and white. Although most are black and white probably all of the time, youalways have to be aware of the exception and be willing to adapt if the spirit is leading you to do so.

    It's all about what the Holy Spirit is leading you to do in a foundation of supreme goodness,compassion, and brotherly love. It's better to adjust than to cause stress. But if adapting is impossible todo, where the adaptation causes you to be in stress about what God is guiding you to do, then you mustspeak up that instant in the firm assertive way. This might only happen once or twice a year since mostpeople don't want to break those important foundation principles.

    Often people won't even realize they are breaking a principle. They think they are being supremely nicebut have never been told they are doing wrong. In telling then in an assertive way, you could save themyears of stressing out other people and therefore stressing themselves. Vary rarely do you havesomeone who will be evil enough to deliberately set out to break your foundation principles.

    So that's the ideal. Often we fall into one of the other 2 extremes.

    Passive: This is where a person will swallow all their negative emotions. They will never speak upagainst someone who is breaking their principle rules. They will just put up with it. The emotions have1 of 2 consequences. 1, the negative emotions build up until the person is about to explode. Thensomeone will do one small thing wrong like leave a toothpick on the table. The passive person snaps

    and erupts in extremely bad ways like a volcano building up pressure and exploding. This has the effectof making them even less willing to speak up because every time they do, people end up hating whatthey say and do.

    The 2nd way is for the negative emotions turn into depression and it pushes them closer and closer tosuicide. And in speaking up, the using people think badly of them and so they have another reason to bedepressed and so another reason not to say anything. Often these people speak up in a quiet shy way.

    Aggressive: This is where people speak up in overbearing and dominant ways. They are often bullies.The issue is that in being bullies, they become insecure thinking people don't like them. And theybelieve they must be more aggressive to make people do right by them. It's the control freak who willsnap as soon as anyone remotely questions them. The questioning is a threat to their ability to controltheir surroundings and therefore feel more secure about themselves.

    The aggressor has the problem that if they start letting one or two trivial things slide, that people willstart taking this a weakness and so the people feel like that can question the aggressor's decisions evenmore and get away with more trivial things. This makes the aggressor feel even more insecure and lessin control making them even more willing to be aggressive to regain their control before it's too late.

    If someone is either passive or aggressive, and they learn they need to be assertive, it requires awillingness to lose friends and much more. Because often the friends they have are attune to using thepassive people or being used by the aggressive people. And so the change to assertive can cause majorrifts in friendships. Aggressive people often have friends who love their aggressive attitude, where theylove to encourage fights etc.

    The way to make the transition is to make it clear to everyone that you are sorry for your previousbehavior and that you will be living by your principle boundaries, which are clearly defined. You tellthem clearly what the boundaries are. If someone doesn't like it, you then adjust to treat him or her in away that will not hurt your foundation principles. If they still don't like it, they have the choice to notbe your friend anymore. Sadly, this is often the case.

    With making the transition, a spiritual peace grows and confidence. Numerous decent people startseeing this and enjoy being around balanced confident people.

    Dynamics of Type 1: Reformer

    World View: The world is an imperfect place. I work toward improvement.Basic Desire: to be right.Basic Fear: of being condemned.

    Healthy loop controlled by Basic Desire: Need to be right -> seek truth -> do the right thing -> Need to

    be right

    In the healthy state, the need to be right induces Type Ones to seek truth and do the right thing. WhenOnes are doing the right thing, the need is satisfied and a balance is reached. In the average state, whenOnes' are not working hard to seek the truth and do the right thing, the need to be right increases, whichhelps Ones to again work hard to seek the truth. Thus the balancing loop can help Ones to recover.

    Unhealthy loop controlled by Basic Fear: Fear of being condemned -> correct others -> do the rightthing -> Fear of being condemned

    In the unhealthy state, the basic fear of being condemned can cause Type Ones to correct and condemnothers first as a defense, which is often not the right thing to do, which further increases Ones' basicfear. The cycle continues to build up.

    Insight: A way to help break the control of the basic fear is to weaken the unhealthy loop. Ones canrefrain from correcting others and start examining self for truth, which will help Ones to do the rightthing, and reduce the fear of being condemned.

    Dynamics of Type 2: Helper

    World View: People depend on my help. I am needed.Basic Desire: to be loved.Basic Fear: of being unloved.

    Healthy loop controlled by Basic Desire: Need to be loved -> help others -> loved -> Need to be loved

    In the healthy state, the need to be loved induces Type Twos to help others, which causes them to beloved. When Twos feel loved, the need is satisfied and a balance is reached. In the average state, whenTwos' are not helping others and are not loved, the need to be loved increases, which helps Twos toagain reach out and help others. Thus the balancing loop can help Twos to recover.

    Unhealthy loop controlled by Basic Fear: Fear of being unloved -> resent and manipulate others ->loved -> Fear of being unloved

    In the unhealthy state, the basic fear of being unloved can cause Type Twos to feel resentful and try tomanipulate others into loving them. This can cause people to love them even less, which furtherincreases Twos' basic fear. The cycle continues to build up.

    Insight: A way to help break the control of the basic fear is to weaken the unhealthy loop. Twos canrefrain from manipulating others but start to genuinely help others. This will cause Twos to be loved,and thus reduce the fear of being unloved.

    Healthy loop controlled by Basic Desire: Need to be admired -> self-improvement -> admired -> Need

    to be admired

    In the healthy state, the need to be admired induces Type Threes to work hard to improve themselvesand succeed, which causes others around them to admire them.

    In the unhealthy state, the basic fear of being rejected can cause Type Threes to be competitive andhostile towards others as a defense, which makes them even less admirable, and further increasesThrees' basic fear. The cycle continues to build up.

    Insight: A way to help break the control of the basic fear is to weaken the unhealthy loop. Threes canrefrain from being competitive but focus on self-improvement instead. This will lead to genuineadmiration from others and lessen the fear of rejection.

    ###Fighting satan.

    ***Spiritual law #13

    The Law of the Battlefield of the Mind.

    This is your war zone.

    What you think governs what you believe, what you believe governs what you say, what you saygoverns what you do, what you do governs how you feel.

    Many people look at how they feel and that governs how they think. In some sense this can work butONLY as a measuring stick of how your thinking is making you feel. "I feel like crap. Why? Hmmsatan must be attacking me. Well I'm going to start thinking of all the awesome things God has done forme." The wrong way is like this. "I feel like crap. Well that thing I tried must not work. I hate this.Everything is pissing me off. This job sucks."

    You must never let your feelings govern your thinking since this will always lead you astray. Satanloves to make people feel certain ways. But feelings are unpredictable and should be controlled.Embrace the love and thankfulness. Rebuke the hate, fear, lust and greed.

    Often there are triggers that will start a battle. Some people may have a battle triggered when insulted.Satan will stir up hatred and throw every flashing image of rage he can at you. A sudden urge to punchis satan's way of saying "Smack that bastard in the mouth and teach him a lesson."

    Instantly you have to rebuke Him. "No! I refuse to be lead down the path of death. I am a child of thelight and I walk on the path of life. Thank you God for the peace and joy you have given me."

    And satan will flash another image. Maybe the guy boasting to his friends about you being a wimp.Satan saying, "You're a wimp. Are you going to let him get away with that?"

    This type of battle can rage on for hours. I remember when I first started where one little thing wouldset me off and 4-5 hours later, I would only then start calming down. This is only after satan had triedeverything and was just trying old tricks which no longer had an affect on me. These days, it takes mebetween 5 seconds and about 5 minutes. On the 5 minute ones I don't realize I have been led astray bysatan. Once I realize, it's about 5 seconds.

    My technique is this:

    Shock. Realization. Rage builds exponentially. Fight time. Deep breath. Huge sigh. "I trust you Godand know you will sort everything out. Thank you." Smile. "Thank you God, Thank you Jesus, Thankyou Holy Spirit." And that's the end of it. You will have to find what works best for you but you get theidea.

    It's just not worth spending all that time stressing when I can skip to the end of the battle and be happy.

    Often, God will allow some things to happen so that a huge amount of good can come of it. Forinstance, wallet stolen. Since you are strong in God, your battle with satan is mere seconds. You alertsecurity and you force them to do something about it for the sake of all those other people who don'thave the same coping skills. Soon the place is more secure and the people who would have beenvictims are now thankful that the security is fixed. Although they may never know the good that hadcome from that bad.

    Everything begins with thought. If enough thought on that subject evolves, then the thought becomesbelief. Belief then becomes words we speak. What we speak spurs our actions. Our actions haveconsequences, and depending on those consequences, we feel an emotion. If we let the emotion changeour thoughts, then that can create a chain reaction that will lead to new more negative emotions.

    Happiness is a choice. You can choose how you will respond to things. But it begins with thoughts.Most people would say being beaten red raw with serious pain, would be a bad thing. Yet some peoplehave chosen not to think of it like that, and have chosen it to be their most joyful past time. I highlydon't recommend doing this but the point is, it's all about how you choose to think about something,which governs how you react, and the reactions end up having consequences either good or baddepending on that choice.

    Choosing to see the bad in things will always limit you, and have you focusing on the negativity. Thelaw of attraction does the rest. So constantly choose to think good thoughts, constantly choose to seethe good in everything. You can even see the good in satan but I highly recommend you don't do this.It's better to never see the good in satan since his goal is to destroy you utterly.

    I picture satan as the most fearful, depressed, hate filled spirit in the universe. And I pity anyone whoshould ever have to suffer from that frame of mind. Doesn't mean I will ever embrace the lies and deaththat he brings. But I don't let hatred build up inside me against him. And that is the power of choosinghow you react. That's the freedom that God gives us. The freedom to love life and be super thankful nomatter what the effects are. The freedom to think of how awesome God really is.

    ***Spiritual law #14

    The Law of When the Lamb is Weak, the Lion Cometh.

    This law is about how satan operates. When someone has a crack in their armor, satan will worm hisway in. Most people won't even notice until they start seeing signs of satan's presence. It's not until theyreally take a deep look at where they have slackened off that they find out where satan got in.

    At first your spiritual battles will be epic in scale, but as you gain more and more strength, satan willhave less and less attacks to come at you with. This brings me to the next law.

    ***Spiritual law #15

    The law of Evil is defeated by flooding it with good.

    You can't defeat evil with removal. Because once you remove it, there is a hole. This hole is prime to befilled with a new evil. But if you shower the evil with supreme goodness, the evil ends up with nowhere to go. It's dissolved and withered away as the new habitual supreme goodness grows.

    29/40

    Many of the warring places on Earth have been because as one evil is torn out, more floods in at thetemptation of exploiting the weakness.

    It's not until things grow in goodly strength that they can begin showing the awesome benefits of thehard work. The push through the uncomfortable. They begin paying off.

    This relates back to The Law of the Battlefield of the Mind. You can't just attack the negative andremove it and expect that to fix things. You have to replace it with the overwhelming goodness andbuild up that goodness until the negative has no more impact.

    This is not a justification for physical war. Physical war is the inability for 2 parties to be civilized. Itmeans that both parties have lowered themselves to a maturity of less than children. With the flood ofpositivity in supreme goodness, compassion, and brotherly love, God has amazing ways to work thingsout. It relates back to Karma.

    ***Spiritual law #16

    The Law of Past, Present and Future.

    The past should only ever be thought about when it comes to learning for the future, and using thatknowledge for a better future. It's also about focusing on the positives and remembering them often inthankfulness so that your trust, in the future having more of those blessings, is strong. The past ishistory.

    The future is all about the vision of successes and blessings that are there for us, to tantalize our mindsabout the awesome possibilities of the future to come. We must always be careful though to NEVERpresume as to exactly what we expect to get from God. Because often if we start expecting somethingin the future as if it belongs to us, that's usually when God will lead you somewhere else. Just think ofall the awesome things God might do for you and thank Him for them in advance but if He hasdifferent plans, let Him know that's fine with you because you trust Him.

    The things you are roughly 90% sure about, where you are fairly positive about the direction Godwants you to go, you can start brainstorming all the possible steps you might take to get there. But don'tdwell on a future that you long for but can't have. The future is there for visualizing, planning, andworking towards awesomeness. But it's always open to change since the future doesn't exist yet.

    The present is this very second. You are choosing to read this article at this very second, most likelybecause some sort of events have lead you here, where God has directed you here for some specialreason. Where you are meant to get something from this which is an answer to your prayers. And at thisvery second, you have a choice of where you spend your precious time.

    You have to constantly ask God, is this giving me the tools and knowledge and skills I need to be theperson I need to be in life? Is this the best use of my time? What could I be doing right this second thatwould lead me to blessings for others and myself? Am I currently on the exact path I am supposed to beon? Is this draining my time and energy away from something I am meant to be doing? This verysecond can be the choice that will govern the rest of your entire life. It's the only place you have anypower. Constantly check with the Holy Spirit inside you if you are doing what you need to do. Everychoice, check with God. He will guide you.

    Maybe not the way you want or how you want or even in ways that make sense but we can never graspthe entire universe altering effects our actions will make. We must trust and go with it, knowing God isthere. If you get it wrong, don't stress. We all make mistakes. Overcome satan's attack of guilt, then askGod for forgiveness and get right back on your horse and show the world how well you can jump.

    The Past is History. Learn from it and remember the times you are thankful for as proof of the awesome

    future.

    The future doesn't exist but you can visualize the awesomeness there and be thankful for whateverblessings God chooses for you regardless of accomplishments.

    The present, this second, is where your control is immense, in where you are this second, where you aremeant to be, and where you will be with your choices guided by God.

    ***Spiritual law #17

    The Law of the Physical World Changes and Goes.

    This can be one of the most powerful.

    Fear is the possibility of losing something of value in the future.

    Hate is the nonacceptance of losing something of value in the past.

    If we remove all desire to hold onto things, and accept all as one day lost in the future, or inevitablylost in the past, then we can actually remove all fear and all hatred from our lives. Problem is this isreality. We love things. Namely family. And fear of losing them or hatred of having lost them isexpected and something that should never be considered as bad. But we MUST do our best to enjoy thenow in these matters and put all the negative loss out of our mind from the past and future.

    But physical stuff is easy to let go of. It's only time or money. Worst case scenario is you end up withmore and more time to spend with loved ones since there is less and less stuff taking up your time andspace.

    ***Spiritual law #18

    The law of There is Always Something to Smile About.

    In any given second, we can smile.

    There was a rabbit walking through the bush, when lions jump out and chase him. He sprints until healmost falls off a small cliff grabbing hold of a branch. He looks down and more lions are jumpingfrom below almost about to get him. Inevitability he's going to be torn apart and eaten. Suddenly hesees a ripe red cherry in front of him. It's beautiful. He pops it in his mouth and chews as the mostdelicious flavors swirl through his mouth, filling his entire body with joy.

    There is always something to smile about.

    The world programs us for sadness. When people pass, if we don't cry and feel miserable, people willthink we are cruel. Many people laugh and have a great time and then realize "Oh no I can't be havingfun! I'm meant to be miserable. How could I be so callous!"

    No! This is the programming we have been led to believe. We are much more than this. The more youcontrol your feelings and really analyze them for what they are, the more control you gain and the more

    you can be super happy all the time no matter what.

    Scientists have mapped this in the human brain comparing chronic depression with the brains ofharmony peace joy-filled monks.

    Don't let the habitual programming ruin your peace and joy. Choose Happiness. Happiness is a choice.

    ###Achieving your goals.

    Spiritual Law #19

    The Law of Attraction

    There was a program release called "The Secret" and it made millions. It capitalized on a spiritual law

    that is utilized every day in the business world. This is very similar to a huge thing in religion calledSeed and Harvest.

    The way the thought battle field works is that if we focus on the promises of God, dwell on them,meditate on them, and all that is good and right, then God can spawn ideas and revelations about howto achieve them. You can then follow these ideas through to achieve the blessings in stall for you in thefuture.

    But the same plays out in reverse. So if you focus on the negative, satan will spawn ideas to supportthat. Ideas about why you don't deserve something. Ideas about how bad you have been in the past.Ideas about how things will mess up and how you will ruin things.

    So in this case, you have to really be careful about what you focus on. Make sure it's something Godwants for you.

    There is a process you can use. Write it down.

    1. Visualization.

    This is your focus. Your dream. Your goal.

    Some key components in this are:a) Make sure that the goal is humanly possible. No flying naked to the sun to drink the nuclear fusion.

    b) Make sure you believe it it is possible for you. Belief is the most powerful forces in the universe. Ifyou believe you can tell the president of the United States what to do, and the president believes youare the best person to listen to, you now run the country and somewhat part of the world. If you don'tbelieve you can do this, set a smaller goal that's easier to achieve and have that as a step towards yourmain goal, or alter the goal so it is believable, or work out why you don't believe it possible and fix thatproblem first. Remember, with the spirit of God in you, the power to create a universe is inside of you.

    c) Make sure that you deserve it because God wants you to have it and in accepting it, you are doingGod's will. It's yours because God said so.

    2. Planning.

    This is about brainstorming numerous ways to achieve the goal. You then work out a strategy andcreate a plan with which to work from. This is basically God's plan and often is His plan. You just haveto work it out and write it down.

  • 7/27/2019 46132745 the Book of Life

    33/40

    3. Action

    A plan is useless without action. It may be tough to take action but God is with you and will help youbecause He want's you to have it.

    4. Check your Progress.

    You have to always Take Stock of where you are in your plan and how the progress is going. God mayhave something else pop up which will effect everything. Sometimes satan will attack and screw thingsup and God will have a new plan that will work out even better.

    5. Recover and get real.

    Make sure you take time to recover from any changes, because sometimes things can hurt and takingaction with a hurt mindset can do more damage than good. This is about getting clear and centered.Once you have adjusted and let the new reality sink in, you are prepared
