Seven Gifts From Our Creator To Help Us On Our Path
God's universe was not patterned randomly, nor were you
. Your path is predetermined to a certain extent as to what should happen, but you have free will that eventually determines the path you do take. If your free will is to work with God and the gifts He provided you with to make your way on the path, then so be it. If your free-will (in the form of human ego) is stubbornly insisting on its own way, then so be it. Your progress will be much slower, but you'll eventually get there because this ego must and will be brought under control until it is in balance with the predetermined goals.
The spiritual life should be ingrained in one from birth onward. When this occurs, there is no need to explain the spiritual path to them as they will just know what it must be. But for those on the earth plane now, it has not been ingrained, therefore it must be explained in the simplest terms possible for all to understand.
The following is just one way that the spiritual life could be presented to those on the path of progress who are trying to understand their spiritual life. Seven Gifts were bestowed on humanity at the beginning of its creation. These are:
1. Reincarnation
2. Free Will
3. Precocious Intent
4. The Prophets
5. Divine Intervention
6. Karma
7. Universal Laws.
1. Reincarnation
The first of these seven great gifts is Reincarnation. Of all the seven gifts, Reincarnation is really the greatest gift our Creator ever gave to man. We have inherited out-dated concepts and teachings through the ages from those who came before us who, because of reincarnation, were really us after all. We were, of course, not as enlightened then as we are now. Because of this non-enlightenment, most true teachings were misinterpreted and teachings were instigated that furthered the power of the leaders of the people. The true teachings are:
1) The understanding of the concept of reincarnation as the basis or foundation for all.
2) The understanding of the concept of the God Within, not an external God sitting on a throne up in the sky somewhere, "The Kingdom of God is Within."
3) The concept of a double evolution, that of our divine self and that of our animal or lower nature, our physical forms. Because of this double evolutionary track, there is a double journey.
2. Free Will
The second greatest gift our Creator gave to humanity is Free Will. The experiment of Free Will for planet earth is considered a failure. Not having been tried before on any other planet, the results could not have been foretold. The time of Lemuria was when man discovered that he did have Free Will and for a long time he exercised it with no restraint. This was, of course, before he gained a conscience, but Free Will continued to be a major factor in his life ever since. It still is and it is still being abused. The counteraction of this gift will be accomplished by the use of self-esteem. Self-esteem is not self-aggrandizement; it is the state of having the utmost respect for one's self and at the same time, respect for all others' opinions. If you have no self-esteem, there is resentment of others instead of respect. Self-esteem is the goal for all humanity. It will be found that all dictators and arrogant, bossy, rude, and immature people lack self-esteem. All education needs to foster it in the individual.
3. Precocious Intent
The third greatest gift our Creator gave to everyone was Precocious Intent. This is the ability to go into one's self and find out what one's goal or task is for each incarnation. If you do not find your goal, the incarnation can be compared to one who enters college and spends most of his time not knowing why he's there. He never majors in anything and when he graduates, finds that he has wasted the time spent. Realizing that we have goals, and searching for these goals, is the meaning of Precocious Intent. Our Creator bestowed this gift upon us to give direction to our lives. We have knowledge of our intentions programmed into our seedcore when we enter. Each incarnation should be an opportunity to further what progress was made in the previous lifetime. This great gift of Precocious Intent has never been used by most of humanity. They are totally unaware that they possess it.
4. Prophets (Channels)
The fourth of the seven great gifts was the Prophets (channels) or psychics, communicators, transmitters, etc. who, down through the ages, have had the ability to see through the veils of the different dimensions. This gift has been maligned, tortured, murdered, spat upon, whatever could be done to them to discredit them. It is still being done to them today. Down through the ages there have been prophets (channels) for interplane communication. Transmitting is a delicate art. The thoughts are sent out into the atmosphere on the exact wave length that a channel's vibration is on. It is like a radio wave or TV. As a matter of fact, it is just a higher level of the exact same process. The goal would be to not only send the words, but also pictures.
5. Divine Intervention
The fifth gift is Divine Intervention. Of this gift, humanity is not even aware or they would do what they could to destroy it also. Divine Intervention really is misunderstood by all groups, religious, metaphysical and all others. Divine Intervention is brought on by you. This is a startling statement, is it not? It is a shocking idea, but the true meaning of Divine Intervention is when the God Within is exercising his prerogatives in a situation, even though the entity is not aware of the God Within. People usually cannot explain why they perform a heroic deed after it's over. All they can say is, "I don't know why I did it," or, "I just had to," or, "It was the only thing to do." This is an action of bravery that is not pre-meditated. It is an instantaneous reaction, and the true expression of Divine Intervention. What is truly alarming is when a group of people stand around watching an atrocious crime being committed without making a move to stop it. Those who do this have truly killed the God Within or they would react without thinking, to try to stop the crime. This is truly more frightening than the crime itself. Most people will have difficulty with this concept, but this is one of the great gifts we were given and we are not even aware of it and yet we deny its use by being apathetic
6. Karma
The sixth gift is Karma. The ramifications of past lives could help many understand themselves. When there is something so painful that one does not wish to look at it, it could very well be from a former incarnation. Consider one troubled relationship you have, one that always leaves an odd feeling of unfinished business when you think of it. This does not have to be someone that you fight with, necessarily, but more that of a relationship that puzzles you. Surely you can think of one, even if from your past. When you have decided which relationship you want to concentrate on, write down all the thoughts you have about this person, whether they be good or bad, and then list the reactions these traits trigger in you. You are almost sure to narrow it down this way to one overriding area of concern that causes the puzzlement that this relationship brings about in you.
7. Universal Laws
The seventh gift is Universal Laws. Basically, the Universal Laws are one's conscience and one must at all times abide by them. They are unwritten laws. They are the right and wrong feelings one gets through his conscience. The one overall universal law is DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU. This one law really does say it all, and that is the basic building block for all worlds. This brings the responsibility home to the individual, where it belongs. The other laws are breakdowns and definitions of all stages of this one law. The individual is not only the victim; he is also the perpetrator, the judge, and the jury. This is the way it must be, and if it could but be enforced there would be no problems, because all problems would be self-administered and self-resolved. As it is, it will have to be taught and shown by example. This can be done because of the gift of reincarnation. We can take advantage of this recycling to learn this law, that what we sow, we will reap.
