HOW SHOULD WE LIVE IN THESE CHALLENGING TIMES? (CONCLUDING PART X)


In this concluding part, we will discuss what we are to do and how we should live in these challenging times.

Please remember that these extremely perplexing times also brings spiritual enlightenment to all mankind. Our first task therefore in these hard times is to find this essential knowledge that leads out of the present day confusion.

Secondly, this is the time to stop the one sided use of our intellect and begin to use our spiritual faculties as well. For example, when we sow oranges we harvest of oranges in multiples. We are able to understand this intellectually with our earthly brain for we can see this physically. We are now to go beyond this and use our intuition, a spiritual faculty to reckon that the same Law of Sowing and Reaping applies to our thoughts, words and deeds. This way, we will be using both our intellect and the insight of our intuition to gain wisdom and understanding. We thereby increase in spiritual maturity thus fulfilling the purpose of life!

Thirdly, let us decide firmly to live in accordance with the Will of God as evidenced by the Laws of Creation. We have no time to waste in making this change. The choice is free, but the consequences of the decision are definite and irrevocable!

In summary, this essay started by highlighting current unusual world happenings which now happen in quick successions. They are an alert for us to awaken from spiritual slumber and a signal that the time of the Judgment of God has come!

We thereafter stepped back to find out how we got to where we are now. We discovered that our present state is linked to the fall of man which brought so much evil. We saw that man actually started well but at a point, man chose to listen to the tempter thus losing his erstwhile peaceful environment and forgetting his way back home. After the fall, mankind found it difficult to proceed on its path to spiritual maturity.

Since mankind has fallen to such a depth that no admonition from prophets made any meaning again, the Son of God was sent to help. However, this Hand of Love was also rejected by man who in his arrogance thought he knew better.

Now is the time of harvest for all the past misdeeds. This is the period of great severity and the way out for us is to accept the Truth at last. We must look out for the Word of Truth that is proclaimed in the midst of the present chaos. We should seek it out, examine it and then live by the Truth only. This Word of Truth tells us of the Laws of Creation, the living code for man.


Now the Good News! The Grail Message says to us in a lecture: The Great Comet, that after the Great Purification which we are now experiencing, the earth will stand purified and refreshed in every respect for the blessing and joy of its inhabitants. It will be more beautiful than it has ever been. Therefore every believer shall look forward to the future with tranquil confidence, and not be alarmed at anything that may happen in the coming years. If he can look up with confidence to God no harm will come to him.

Please note that this Promise is meant only for those who believe and live by the Will of God. The Will of God is the same as the Laws aforementioned which the Almighty has placed in Creation. We therefore need to strive to know the Laws, understand them aright and only then shall we be able to obey them, and abstain from doing what is harmful and dangerous. We can then be mercifully counted among the partakers of this great Promise!
