Re: unredeemable?
Quote:
You cannot ever attract unto yourselves a greater power than you yourselves are. Therefore you are equipped to meet and transmute anything which you attract.Do you have a desire, an interest, or better yet - a commitment - to transmute any negativity that you encounter? If so, then you're on the right track. Another quote, which is appropo here: Until one is committedBut here, how 'bout one more, for the road. Sage advice from the wisest man ... to ever walk the planet: "Suppose a man is struck by a poisoned arrow and the doctor wishes to take out the arrow immediately. Suppose the man does not want the arrow removed until he knows who shot it, his age, his parents, and why he shot it. What would happen? If he were to wait until all these questions have been answered, the man might die first." (the Teaching of the Buddha Shakyamuni, paraphrased by Thich Nhat Hanh, in Zen Keys)Or shall we quote His Brother, the Christ? If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. (Matthew 17:20)Which man did lie, the Buddha, the Christ, the Maha-Chohan (Master Rakoczy), or M.H. Murray, to tell us these things? To at least three of them, "evil" as we know it is but a twig, and easily snapped. We are allowed - and required - to struggle with darkness ... and to overcome it, in order to one day stand where they stand. Perhaps this will help you in the moment. Reflect on M.H. Murray's words, especially. And if you are religious, pray. Earnestly. You cannot help, but meet with response. It is the Law ... the Law of Love. It is the Power that actually moves mountains, and planets, and Cosmos ... And even if you have doubt(s), or uncertainties, then remember, you tip the balance of the scales - just by entertaining certain possibilities. Faith removes all obstacles, as Christ assured us. Sorcery and black magic tap into a limited energy supply, they are a very low order of magic, dealing with the material world - and not the Spirit(ual). Focus on Light, and on positive imagery (whatever is most comforting to you). This immediately renders you POSITIVE relative to all negativity. It puts the ball in YOUR court. NO MATTER WHAT! If you feel a visualization would help, ask for one, or PM me. I will reply. Namaskar ... Love and Light, andrew/taijasi |

That already guilty sinners (sinners being people who have broken God's Ten Commandments) can do nothing to earse their crimes against God who is Holy. But, God so loved the world that He sent His Son that whoever believers in the Son, will have eternal life. Jesus did it all! If we repent (turn from sins and turn to God) and Trust Jesus, God will change us and create in us a new heart with new desires and we'll love God and keep His commandments, not out of selfish desires, but purely out of selfless motives and love for Him who rescued us. Moreover, God will credit or impute Jesus' perfect life to our account. Good deal, eh? This is why good works cannot earn salvation...People are already guilty before God since all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory. We need a Savoir. This is why Jesus said, "I am the way." |
