Spirit knows, and the Universe provides!

Everytime this happens, I just smile. You just can’t make this stuff up, you really can’t. The evidence is clear as day, and boy am I thankful.

I had a God thing happen just recently. So, deep inside I always knew that my beliefs were not “New Age-y.” My spirit kept telling me that these are ancient teachings that huemanity just did away with, or have forgotten throughout the ages. I’ve learned very early on, to never question your spirit. When your spirit tells you something, it’s always true! Especially if you get a bad feeling about something, you NEVER EVER ignore that feeling, because that is your spirit telling you that what you’re about to do, or what is about to happen is bad. And then there are moments, like this, where your spirit tells you of something that is true but is a good thing.

But even though my spirit was telling me that these beliefs are older than even Jesus, I would always wonder where my beliefs came from. Like, I know my spirit keeps telling me that I’m on the right track, and that what I believe is indeed very true. But, I always wanted to know the origins of where my beliefs stem from, cause I could never really find anything that outlines or details where my beliefs stem from. So, I thought “Well, if I can’t find the answer in my own home, maybe the Universe can help me.” So I went outside and I looked up at the sky and I just said “Universe, I need your help. Set a series of events up to where I can finally figure out the origins of my beliefs.” And, anyone knows that if you ask the Universe for help, the Universe tends to find a shortcut for you, and of course, the Universe delivered. @Peter1 has a book he’s going to give me that will finally tell me all about my beliefs and where they stemmed from. The Universe indeed found a shortcut for me! I’m so blissed! Now I can finally answer the question about the origins of my beliefs, and maybe even learn something new while I’m at it.

You could also consider this a “test” as well. You see, your spirit, which came from God and is divine in nature, holds the answers to all of life’s questions. So if you ever wanted to test something your spirit told you to see if it was true, simply ask the Universe. If your mind is open enough, you’ll receive the answers you seek. But it has always been my experience that my spirit is never wrong about anything. But that’s because my spirit has a divine nature, and because of its divinity it has a direct connection to Source (or God), and because of that connection, it can only speak truth. And that’s because Spirit knows Spirit (or Spirit knows God).

Regardless I’m excited to see what this book entails! I thank the Universe for Peter showing up when he did. Source is so good!

Long ago I took a class about the cardinal virtues: prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance. One quality associated with practicing them is solertia, which means (among other things) shrewdness, knowing how to handle situations. If you practice the cardinal virtues you can gain solertia, so that most of the time in difficult situations you will make the right choice. I think that solertia is an attribute of the spirit that you are talking about.

Hi Jake! When I come on this site, my orientation for the most part, is to find the meeting points between my understanding and the Catholic religion, as it has been presented historically, and as it is understood today. I am not asking these good people to read the ancient Vedic literatures that I study, under respected guidance. But I am willing to share with you according to your degree of willingness to explore. We have to understand and accept that Catholics are very serious about there religion and their faith, and so I do not wish to rock the boat. My spiritual teacher states that love of God in the hearts of the followers is the measure of the effectiveness of any given path. The symptoms of love of God are common across the board: Viz., relative detachment from the things of the world that are so much attractive to contemporary man; to live in prayer and glorification of God; to consider every living being as near and dear relative, as a child of our common Father, spontaneous feelings of love and gratitude to God, in the way that is expressed in David’s 23rd Psalm, “My cup runneth over.” When we reach that degree of cultivation in our faith, then we are making progress. Real religion is not about being a member of anything. There is one Danish philosopher and religious man called Kierkegaard, who was a Lutheran. His views on religion and the role of religion in our society, are very captivating. Regards, Peter

Yes, I could use a measure of “solertia” added to my cup. I think that this is the symptom which is indicative of our degree of personal cultivation of our faith. I am a neophyte, having come to want to know God at a later time in my life. But this measure of “solertia” accomplished, is a good thing for me to keep in mind, and take a good look at myself.

I think you got it right, Stephen. I translate your words as follows: “When we receive in our hearts, (newly planted), the seed of faith, this new wisdom can then appear through us, here and now, in our fleshly bodies. In this way, the power of God, the Supreme Spirit, can move through all of us (the created souls), and all of our material bodies will become harmoniously united, as expressions of God working through us. In this way we all become One, while retaining our individuality. I also believe. I ask you, Stephen, to pray for me, that I can become an instrument of God in this way. Peter
