Stand Ever Watchful ...

Stand ever watchful

With thoughts of the mind.

Thoughts that beguile,

That lead us astray

Are but veils

That darken the soul.

’Tis only with thoughts

Of goodness and love

That guide us

And keep us whole.

He tells me, "Be like Me." ...

BE   LIKE   ME

God hears

My heartfelt longing,

It’s plain for all to see

For when I seek His comfort

He tells me, “Be like Me.”

B.L. Woodard & G.D. Kilbourn

Learn to be like God. Begin in all humility and selflessness to quiet the mind. Look within and ask:”Am I being true to myself?” “Am I fulfilled?” “what is my purpose?”  Common sense and reason will give the answers. Thence comes the uncertainty of knowing, what next? What is next is an awareness of the fact we are not the person we see and touch. There is another – our true being – within: We are at once both physically mortal and spiritually immortal. God is our soul, ever present within us, and we in Him: Truly, we are one.

Think as you will, do as you will, unless you acknowledge your own true inner spiritual being, you will forever be alone. Only when you come to terms with the fact that you are not one, but two distinct, yet interdependent, beings will you come to love your neighbour as yourself and do unto others as you would have them do to you. Recognizing the goodness in others is an exercise in spiritual intuition, the use of one’s sixth and seventh senses which override the body’s five mortal senses. Figuratively speaking, it means stepping back and quieting the mind to hear the voice of our true inner being – the voice of the soul – which in turn allows an understanding of the other.

... peace surpassing all understanding.

Do you see the light within,

Its pulsating presence,

Life itself?

Look to the light,

To your inner Being.

Nourish it with love

To find peace—

A peace surpassing

All understanding.
