Some people I know
have actually got a house this way. However, so many other factors weren't
expected they actually gave up their house and moved back to the big city.
Life constantly prompts us for more.
With the real God on your
side.(Isaiah
45:5,6; 46:9),
when you receive something, all with it is complimentary and in balance
and good for you. There is no downside with a gift from the Creator.(Proverbs
10:22), just promptings to 'come
up higher', 'to move beyond', to reach further'. You have the power. You
lose what you don't use. The Creator wants us not to lose.
The Creator says that He
wants you to have the desires of your heart.
Creator is concerned with your spirituality and your eternity:.Luke
6:35. Without understanding how these universal laws work, any good
positive thoughts for say, a better future for yourself, will be negated
as soon as you come up against something in life that tells you that you
cannot have what you are imagining. And here you will kill your new mind
creation. Trying to get yourself better by 'pulling
yourself up with your own bootstraps' does not work. You cannot just
'decide to be positive' and that's it. You must be sure that the universal
laws the Infinite One has designed and put in motion, really will
produce the results you want:.Jeremiah
10:23. And how do you become really
sure? Proving to yourself God indeed is real would be a good step towards
having faith in God.
Astrology
and various modern forms of ancient hocus-pocus
not based on God, take you nowhere spiritually:.Ecclesiastes
1:9; Revelation 12:9.
No matter what you may
plan, God may have an alternate one for your life:.Lamentations
3:37;
Ephesians 2:10; Philippians
2:13;
Proverbs 16:9; 21:1,2.
So it is important to get quiet
with yourself. Here you listen. Here you sense the direction where your
abilities will be of greatest benefit. Here you make the decision to do
this thing and not to do other things.
Once your direction is set,
the steps to get there should be pursued with confidence and here, guidance
from your subconscious will be in accordance with what you see as right
and true for you along the way. Here, the AskSuby system of subconscious
guidance can be of benefit.
The key is harmony. When
what you focus upon is to produce good for yourself and others, you are
in harmony with the principles of universal law the Infinite One has set
up in love:.Romans
13:10.
All the promises are in Christ.(what
exactly does 'in Christ' mean, just religious stuff? Not at all):.2Corinthians
1:20. When your in Christ, you have all the promises and have an effective
alternative to endless repetitions being used in trying to convince yourself
of the reality of these things being for you, repetitions with uncertain
and varying results due to the vicissitudes
of life as caused by wavering faith.(one
day you are sure, and the next day unsure:.James
1:6-8):.Matthew
6:7,8; 1Timothy 6:17; Amos
5:8,14,15. One proves any affirmation by results, like
this one.

Buddhism:
A religion of eastern and central Asia imported into Tibet from India in
the 7th century A.D.
and which grew out of the teaching of Siddhartha Gautama Buddha, B.C.E..circa
563-483, Indian.(of
India).mystic

in life and that one can be liberated from it by mental and moral self-purification.."The
lesson of Buddha is a journey from asleep
to awakening."....Deepak
Chopra
"Nichiren, 1222-1282 A.D.,
a Japanese Buddhist monk of the Kamakura period, 1185-1333 helped establish
Buddhism in Japan. At a time in Japan's history when Buddhist teachings
were diffuse
and conflicting,
Nichiren sought the true teaching of the historical Buddha, which would
serve as a central, unifying doctrine. After 20 years of careful study,
he concluded that authentic Buddhism could be found only in the Lotus
Sutra or Lotus Scripture text and he denounced
all other forms of Buddhism. For his audacity
he was expelled
from his monastery
and was subjected
to hostility
and persecution
from both religious
and civil.authorities.
In 1271 he was arrested and condemned to die, but his sentence was subsequently.commuted."....Microsoft®

Confucianism:

his life and sayings of 2500 years ago. Interestingly presented keeping
one engaged throughout. Confucius taught principles of proper conduct and
social relationships that comprised high ethical and moral standards, teaching
that each human being must cultivate personal virtues as honesty and love.."Virtue
is never left to stand alone. He who has it will have neighbors."....Confucius,
Chinese philosopher, B.C.E. 551–479..Proverbs
18:24 "A man that has friends must show himself friendly and there
is a friend that sticks closer than a brother."
"Confucius claimed to be
a restorer of ancient morality
and held that proper outward acts based on the five virtues
of kindness, uprightness,
decorum,
wisdom and faithfulness constitute the whole of human duty. Reverence
for parents, living and dead, was one of his key concepts. His view of
government was paternalistic
and he enjoined
all individuals to observe carefully their duties toward the state.
In subsequent
centuries his teachings exerted
a powerful influence on the Chinese nation."....comprised

Islam:
The religious faith of Muslims includes belief in Allah as the sole deity
and in Muhammad as his prophet. A Muslim is one who has surrendered his
life for spirituality.
Koran of Islam: Koran means
'recite'. Deepak Chopra has a
book on the Koran.
From The Bible Knowledge
Accelerator: Islam was founded in 622 A.D.
by Mohammed, 570-632 A.D., the prophet, in Medina, Arabian peninsula. Today,
the Muslim faith is a growing religion, having spread to over 40 countries
on three continents. Its founder, Mohammed.(Muhammad),
was born in Mecca, Arabia.(570
A.D.). It is believed that he received
his first revelation by the angel Gabriel at the age of 40. Though he could
not read or write, his revelations were apparently written down by his
secretaries for about 22 years until he died in 632 A.D. He denied polytheism
and only worshipped Allah, meaning, one God,
the only God. It is believed the prophet Mohammed was to give the words
of God he received by revelation.(came
into his mind through prayer/meditation),
the Koran, to humanity.
The Qur'an or Koran are the
holy scriptures in Islam. Almost as large as the New Testament, it contains
114 chapters. Many Koranic believers feel the Koran is superior to all
other revelations because other revelations have been corrupted beyond
recognition and so then, only the Koran is infallible.
There is no room for discussion of the historicity
of the Bible because Mohammed said it was corrupt. True, the Bible
has been altered many times, but...
When both have love at heart,
there is more that keeps us together than what divides us.
The Koran was written in
the Arabic language shortly after Mohammed's death. It teaches that the
one true God's name is Allah. He is so far above man in His knowledge and
power that no man could ever know him. In fact, it would be blasphemous
to call Allah 'your father'; there is no personal relationship with him.
He is to be obeyed without question, therefore the name Moslem or Muslim
means "to submit". It is held by believers in the Koran that Allah has
spoken through numerous prophets, Abraham, Moses, Emmanuel, etc.
