What happened??
You wake up in the morning with an altered heart rate, a sense of loss, dizziness in your head, a tremor, and an overall feeling that resembles a low‑sugar attack. You wash your face, take a shower, and realize that your mind keeps producing the same images over and over… that your bank account is low, that your job is not secure, besides the fact that you are not living your purpose and you’ve accepted an average life.
Suddenly, as you wash your hair, you feel a lump behind your ear, and it has the power to produce a new series of thoughts of sickness and deterioration of your body to very possibly imminent death all alone, since your lover is selfish, and you realize that in your life, you really are alone and lonely.
What happened?
You have been attacked!!! You are worrying, imagining, fearing, succumbing to the world and the oldest enemy of all time – the “polluted mind.” The mind is the arena where the enemy is fighting its way in to conquer you and destroy you, and it will keep pushing its way through until those thoughts and images go right into the center of your heart and become beliefs and certainties in your life.
At that point, you are really in danger, not just because you have a distorted view of reality, but also because with your actions, your words, and your presence, you will influence other people to live in a state of inner poverty and dis‑ease.
At this point, you usually forget one thing that can change your whole life around – the images of your mind, your feelings, and physical sensations –a knowing that the sages and masters of the past have been trying to convey in all possible ways, a spiritual force invisible to the natural eye that can hold your whole life together. It’s intangible, but more solid than any rock that exists on this planet. You can’t prove it to a scientist, because it does not belong to the laws of nature. It’s divine.
It’s supernatural.
It’s real.
It’s FAITH!!!!
Yes, FAITH is a spiritual power. It’s an attitude that eliminates and obliterates those wrong images, those fears and worries.
FAITH is an art that sculpts the object, and the subject that sculpts sculptures and the sculptor.
FAITH is a seed that grows into a huge tree that produces more and more fruits.
FAITH is the knowing that there is a supernatural power and spirit that can deliver you from your burdens, sicknesses, and pains.
FAITH has no preference or separation – it works if you are rich, poor, black, white, tall, short, man, woman, old, or young – for the simple reason that in faith, there is love, compassion, courage, creativity, tolerance, and lots of patience.
If you are ready to change, to take responsibility, to stop blaming, and to free yourself from dogmas and ideas; if you are ready to surrender, to get yourself out of the way and let go, then you are ready to allow more and to claim and proclaim that this powerful train enter your life and take you high, take you far, take you within. Then FAITH is yours, it’s ours.
Are you ready?
Are you ready to ask and receive it?
Do it then. Don’t waste your time, your life, and your energy clinging to belief systems that don’t work.
FAITH is eternal. It always existed, but it’s forgotten, and like never before, it’s needed.
That is why I insist over and over – wake up, don’t miss the train, catch it before it passes….
