The moment you try to end your life or you contemplate it, is the day the pain will be a multitude greater, because deep down you know you’re supposed to be alive until the day God calls you home. As long as you have breath, you’re supposed to be alive. Danny G.
Karma
Why do we see karma as an act of revenge or punishment? It’s as if we need validation that every person will get their day. We should see karma as a teacher for all of us. When we are hurt by another, we know how it feels, and we care to not hurt another person the same way. If we don’t learn from our mistakes, then we remain stagnant and don’t grow, which is a greater burden.
Here is a definition of karma according to an online dictionary: karma refers to the spiritual principle of cause and effect where intent and actions of an individual influence the future of that individual. In this text I’m focusing on karma’s interconnection with people and humanity, rather than from an individual perspective. I’m focusing on bringing light to the word karma, so we may work in unity rather than focusing on revenge and punishment.
Karma should be viewed as a teacher for our own evolution as individuals and humanity. We shouldn’t use karma as a coping mechanism to say they’ll get their day. What’s the saying that’s been repeated over and over again by the world’s greatest teachers? We are all one! Therefore, no one is left out, even the ones who repeatedly hurt people in their lifetime. I understand behaviour has consequences and it must be dealt with accordingly. However, by continuing to use karma as an act of revenge, we will only cause more acts of revenge.
God knows we’re not standing in a state of completion or perfection, but he does admire progress and learning from our mistakes. Without learning from our mistakes, we wouldn’t grow and without growth we’re not really living, and we’re of little value to others. For everything in life requires growth and expansion, primarily on a soul level, to create a better life for ourselves and for humanity.
If God loves all of us, then he would want peace for all of us. A peaceful ecosystem requires growth and learning from mistakes to essentially have a peaceful world. If the behaviour means anything to us on any level and we know we shouldn’t have behaved this way, karma acts as a teacher to help us grow as a human being.
Think of a time where you hurt someone, and after the fact that you hurt someone, another person hurt you the same way. You said to yourself, now I know how it feels. You then said, because I know how it feels, I choose to never do it again to another person. Why is that? Is it a punishment or is it you learning from your mistakes and wanting to grow as a person? You can say God helped you see the situation through his compassionate lenses.
Sometimes we don’t recognize our weakness and sometimes we don’t want to acknowledge our weakness. Either way without recognizing or acknowledging our weaknesses, growth is impossible, and we remain stagnant. Would you rather be the person who wants to grow or the person who chooses to remain stagnant and who has too much pride to admit he isn’t perfect?
If you feel karma is present in your life, just know it’s because God is helping you see the behaviour through different lenses, whether it’s your behaviour or someone else. Therefore, change your beliefs about karma. See karma as an opportunity for everyone to grow as a human being. Know that once you learn from your mistakes, there’s no need for continual reminders of what you call karma.
We’re all in this together, we’re just not at the same place, and know that whatever choice you make impacts another person and therefore changes the world one step at a time. Choose wisely!
Don’t Condemn It
Don’t condemn anything that produces healing for anything that heals is from the divine. God only wants health and happiness for his children, and anything that heals mentally, physically and spiritually comes from him. The scripture clearly states “He came that we may have life, joy abundance,” so anything that brings life, joy and abundance must come from God. Danny G.
You’re Still Here For A Reason
The moment you try to end your life or you contemplate it, is the day the pain will be a multitude greater, because deep down you know you’re supposed to be alive until the day God calls you home. As long as you have breath, you’re supposed to be alive.
Danny G.
An old man made a comment a long time ago when I was a young teenager around 12, or 13, and it stayed with me until this very day. A statement that sounds so simplistic, yet people consistently fight against it. He said there’s one obligation in life that everyone will have to face at one point or another. Everything else is a choice, but this one unavoidable experience that we must all face is death.
Everyone on this planet at the present time will leave this time space reality at one point. If we accept this reality that physical death is inevitable, then why do we try to end our life before our time? We’re fighting against the only obligation in our life that is inevitable.
The moment you decide that you want to end your life, you will know deep inside your gut, that you are making a big mistake. You know in your heart, as long as you have breath, you’re supposed to be alive. Denying your existence would be going against the laws of nature, because you know God still wants you here and he needs you.
Why are you trying to end your time before your mission is complete? We all need growth on an individual perspective and on a global scale, and sometimes the reasons we want our escape, are the reasons meant to catapult us to our divine destiny.
You have joyful experiences ahead, and you have something to give that will all make sense one day. You will say I’m glad I didn’t give up and I know why I went through that experience, since I became a better person and I helped others along the way.
You may say it’s too difficult, or I feel this emptiness that will not leave. Consider, if you were supposed to die, it would have happened already, but you’re still here because you and God chose for you to be here. These challenges are meant for your own expansion and for all the lives you touch. Simply by being you and being the best version of yourself, means you have purpose and it means you have something to give that no one else can, because there’s no exact replica of you.
You’re trying to end a journey that still needs unfolding, and you’ll feel an uneasiness that will be greater than the statement “I can’t take it anymore.” Because deep down you know you’re supposed to be alive, and you know you’re supposed to be alive until the day God calls you home.
The right time to call your exit on this physical plane, will be when you’re old and wrinkly, and you will have lived a joyous fulfilling life. Then you’ll say it’s my time and I’ve completed my mission and I shall go in peace. Until then you have a life to live and joyous experiences along the way.
No Pit Too Deep
There’s no pit so deep that you cannot find a solution. There’s no mistakes you’ve made that would stop God’s love for you. For God is a source of love, and he is limitless and infinite, and he promised all things are possible! He also said according to your faith it shall be done unto you, so whatever you’re yearning for is achieved through faithful thoughts, words and actions, and it’s done one step at a time! Danny G.
Loving Oneself (Poem)
When he truly loves himself,
Accepts himself as he is,
Why does he need approval,
From anybody else.
If he is secure,
The critics don’t matter,
He knows where he stands,
Controversies don’t last.
If he truly loves himself,
Then why does he need convincing,
To prove to him, only what he can.
For if he is secure,
Then no words can offend him,
And he forgets what’s said.
When he truly loves himself,
What do compliments do,
Than reinforce what he knows.
And what does criticism do,
If it disagrees with his whole.
If he truly loves himself,
Why does he need praise,
When he praises himself,
And what is disrespect,
When he respects himself.
If he truly loves himself,
Then there’s no convincing,
And no ridicule,
That can make him change.
Because he is secure,
In what he knows,
And what others say,
He doesn’t care,
For he respects himself,
Above all else.
When he truly loves himself,
He doesn’t need another,
To bring him, only what he can.
A lover or a friend,
Only reinforces who he is,
For he searches himself,
And then the right ones come,
And are here to stay.
When he truly loves himself,
He doesn’t forget himself,
Or where he comes from,
Or who he is.
Because he is secure,
In what he knows,
And he loves himself,
Despite what others say.
If We Can Be Children Again (Poem)
When we’re newborns and toddlers,
We’re so eccentric and authentic,
Eager and ecstatic,
To start living our life.
Gazing at the night sky,
We ponder the brilliance,
An amazing masterpiece,
A great work of art.
There must be some force,
That created this world,
That’s giving me breath,
That’s protecting me and cares.
Unrelenting faith,
Always eager,
To tackle the day.
Persistent and relentless,
Pessimism is a term,
We know nothing about.
And then we grow up,
Observing and forgetting,
Somehow down the path,
Of self prophecy and setbacks,
We convince ourselves of deception,
Of every lie of misconception.
And then strip by strip,
As we remove the layers,
As though peeling an onion,
Our eyes begin to burn,
Until we can’t take anymore.
If we can be children,
Remember what we knew,
So deep in our heart,
In our childlike soul.
That life is a playground,
We make it as we want.
Then look back,
Smile and reminisce,
The journey above all,
We’re conquerors from the start.
God’s Laws Are A Definite
To believe in conventional medicine to heal is good, but to believe in the divine power to heal is even better, for medicine doesn’t have a guaranty but God does. How many times has medicine failed? How many times has God’s laws failed? If you want a guarantee, seek his laws and apply them in your life, then the medicine will only facilitate the process. We’ve heard the scripture, “according to your faith, it shall be done unto you.” Believe this in your heart, and it shall be done unto you. Danny G.
A New Perspective
Choosing Our Reality
What is facing reality? Aren’t we all facing a different reality? If we believe we’re unfortunate, and we shall face only havoc and pain in our life, then how do we attract what we want? If our thoughts create our reality and we focus merely on the pain, suffering, and unfortunate circumstances, then how can we attract anything positive? How can we empower people or help them with a message of powerlessness?
If people believe they have no control over the unfolding of their life and they believe thoughts hold no power, how vulnerable would they feel when they face their worst fear? How vulnerable would they feel when they encounter a dangerous or fearful situation and they had no logical means of escape?
Why wait until you’re in a situation such as this? Why not invest time for your own spiritual growth and faith? Perhaps you will avoid certain situations if you focus on the right things, or you’ll know how to cope, and overcome the challenge.
We’ve heard over and over again about the power of our thoughts, so why not tell ourselves, we’re in control, and we choose to speak words of faith and security for our life. By making statements that you are powerless, you just lost your control over your life and your reaction to events and circumstances.
Know you are in control, and know that you lay the course. The best way to help others is to teach them a philosophy that empowers them, leaving them hopeful or optimistic. If you consistently focus on the fear or dread in your life or others, by your attention, your beliefs and expectations inevitably creates your reality.
Reality is different for everyone and it’s only our observation and our expectation that brings about an outcome. Some children are born in harsh circumstances where the escape seems illogical or impossible or the path seems more difficult than the majority. However, denying their escape would be denying God’s power which is limitless and infinite.
Our lives are continually changing, and we’re always changing our behaviour, beliefs and expectations, which ultimately invites new things and different circumstances and events in our lives. We also conclude what’s no longer serving us as beliefs or behaviour, which attracts different events and circumstances. Life is a reflection of our own beliefs, expectations and behaviours which creates our everyday experiences, along with the challenges and happiness and breakthroughs.
So after reflecting on this perspective, what kind of reality do you want to create for yourself? Which beliefs and words are best for you and your loved ones or any other people in turmoil? Is it a reality based on fears, lack and yesterday’s false preconceptions, or is it a reality of your own choosing? Would you rather enforce a message of being powerless, of predetermined doom and gloom? Or would you rather preach to yourself and your family and friends about a universe that’s conspiring on our behalf for our own spiritual evolution and humanity?
The Origin Of The Dependency
One of the biggest problems to being an addict is trying to solve the addiction through sheer will power rather than the thoughts that created it. Every addiction starts with a persistent thought that eventually spirals out of control, and makes you feel powerless. Until you realize the origin of your dependency, you will not truly be healed. Focus on the thought first, then actualize your goal, and then you will truly be healed. Danny G.
