The Age of Spirituality Has Arrived |
| What does man gain from all his labor at which he toils under the sun. Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever. The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises again. The wind blows to the south and turns to the north, round and round it goes, ever returning on its course. All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place the streams come, from there they return again.
Have you thought about where you are going in your life? Have you thought about what your spiritual mission in this life is? Seek within yourself for the Spirit of Truth, pray and meditate daily and you will find the answers. In the pages that follow you will find some guidance in your journey to Spiritual enlightenment. I don't have all the answers, but I pray that the information you will find in the following pages will help you along on your journey. Bart Travaglini The Spirit of TruthThe truth is uncompromising. Right is right and wrong is wrong there is no gray area, yet in today’s society the truth is highly uncertain. So many of our teachers, scholars, judges, religious leaders, you name it, have no concept of what the truth is. We have leaders who don’t feel Love in their hearts, or have the sincerity and generosity that is required to govern, all they are after is the miserable ideal of power and wealth. Religious leaders who proclaim to be representatives of Jesus, who do not even recognize Love for their fellow men. Doctors who don’t know the essence of their mission, which is charity. Judges who confuse justice with vengeance and use the law for wicked purposes. It is no wonder that our societies understanding of right and wrong is obscured and unseen. But, there is hope, because what is seen and what is unseen is dependent on the principles of life you believe in. Do you believe in the laws of man or in the Divine mandates. The spiritual laws of God? Our experiences and circumstances of our life, some painful and mystifying some joyful and enlightening are what are visible. By contrast the unseen realities, which are no less real for being invisible and less discernible are eternal. Seen in the perspective of eternity the truth will cause your mind and heart to see. All of life is meaningless if you cannot find the truth in your heart, the light in the darkness. Prepare yourself for eternal life and a spiritual revelation will open infinite horizons. Through true worship, sincere prayer, selfless charity, faith, virtue and above all LOVE, a true communication with the Holy Spirit will be established.
John 14: 16-17
Mt 22: 37-40 Two commandments given to us directly from Jesus, in order to enact His new covenant and establish a new world based upon LOVE.
Luke 10:25-28 Forgiveness is the other key element in learning the difference between right and wrong. Can you imagine a world where all our misdeeds were forgiven by just asking? We live in that world now. God is above needing retribution for our mistakes. What may seem like retribution is not, God is teaching us. How else can we learn? God can also rectify the wrongs done by his followers. When Jesus was betrayed by Judas, one of his followers pulled out a sword and cut off the ear of one of the guards that was there to arrest Jesus. Jesus said, “ No more of this” and He touched the guards ear and healed him. To allow such action would be contrary to His teachings: To be wholly united in our Love for God and each other, with all people everywhere who call on the name of God. Their God is our God, our God is their God. There is only one God. It doesn’t matter what color we are, what religion we follow, what political system we are under we still have the same Creator and God. By the command of God we are told to "LOVE ONE ANOTHER." It’s that simple.... Everyone has the Holy Spirit residing within them, but If you live according to your sinful nature you will have your mind set on sinful desires, but those who live in accordance with the Holy Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. Eternal Life!! Your body will die, your spirit will not. Being led by the Holy Spirit is the hallmark of our relationship with God. The full manifestation of all that, cannot come to pass until we learn to Love God with all our heart mind soul and strength. God wants his disciples to be in charge of themselves on all occasions, that we demonstrate to the truth of His Doctrine daily with our deeds of Love and charity. Hold your heads high, with peace in your hearts, because that will be proof of a firm conviction of the truth that you have embraced, and a testimony of your faith before all men. God, our creator has endowed us, his children, with everything necessary to know Him, understand Him, and to Love Him, so that we can be close to Him and feel His infinite tenderness. It is the Holy Spirit and the Love that comes through Him that gives us complete healing and the willingness to forgive and the eagerness to help and Love one another. Allow your indwelling Holy Spirit to express true Love through you. Imitate Jesus, by Loving your fellowman as you would your mom, your son, your brother. Bless everyone around you with Love in the name of Jesus. To bless means to saturate. To bless is to permeate all that surrounds you with thoughts of Love. That means your mom as well as your enemy, that means your brother as well as the homeless and drug addicts, that means your sister as well as the prostitute on the corner. We are all children of God! Think and do kindness, and feel Love. We assign way to much greatness to the rich people of the world, the wise men, the powerful, the philosophers, the men of science, the ministers of religion and the men of influence. We do not need any of that greatness in order to speak about God’s Truth, because true greatness, which is that of the spirit, does not need gold or human science, fame or titles. Where the spirit manifests himself through Love, true greatness will exist. Haven’t we all seen leaders who today are on the seat of power and tomorrow they are groveling in their misery? Haven’t we all seen that scientists are always correcting that which they previously regarded as truth? Haven’t we all seen a beautiful man or women who today is admired and desired, and latter is transformed into ruin? Therefore, do not confuse the external values of fleeting human vanity with spiritual enlightenment. Pick up your cross and follow the Holy Spirit within you. Carry it over your heart and do not fear. Go forth step by step, and leave the Words of God in those heart along your path, like a trace of light. Forgive those who harm you. But, if you should fall, and those around you ridicule you when you are down, do not fear, because now, the Holy Spirit, who speaks to you will be your Cyrenian and carry your cross. Understand, that for each person that you guide away from the wicked path, the power of evil will lose some of its strength. And your life, if it is righteous in deeds, words and thoughts, will leave a good seed along its path. If your counseling comes from a prepared heart, it will have power to perform miracles. If your prayer comes from thoughts filled with compassion and Love, it will be a message of light for those for whom you pray. The fruits of evil will not prevail, but rather, it will be the light of the Holy Spirit which will reign everywhere, and in every spirit.
