Leo Tolstoy on God

LEO TOLSTOY ON GOD: "When you look inside yourself, you see what is called 'your own self' or your soul. You cannot touch it or see it or understand it, but you know it is there. And this part of yourself--that which you cannot understand--is what is called God. God is both around us and inside of us--in our souls.

The more you understand that you are at one with God, the more you will understand that you are at one with all His worldly manifestations."

Are you Ready for December 21, 2012?


It's not as if we don't have enough on our plate just trying to get through each of these days. Now, as some astronomers, psychics and others would have us believe, we have to worry now about December 21, 2012!

Are you ready?

That's the day you're either going to die, with the rest of us.

Or

That's the day you're going to have a renewed awakening to the Spirit within you.


The way I see it ...there's not much I can do about either one, so I'll just have to wait and see what happens on that day. I'll either be here, so fully awakened to the Spirit within me, or I'll be "there."

I really hope I'm alive and conscious on that day! I want to experience what that type of worldly dying would be like...or what type of resurrection of Spirit, we will all have...I pray I'm still alive.

But if it's like the year 2000, when for many years prior, the doomsayers were predicting another end world time, you'll wake up on December 22, 2012 and feel disappointed.

As bad as things in your life may seem today, don't get your hopes up about dying on that day!


And...especially...don't stop doing your spiritual work in the hope that on December 22, 2012, everyone else will be awake to the Spirit within them and we'll all be living in a wonderful world!

Like the year 2000 fiasco, this projection about 12/21/12 is based on another calendar "glitch."

This time, it's based on the Mayan calendar, "which after 5000 years is about to start over," according to several sources in my research. Then, if this were not bad enough, "it is also the day of a galactic alignment in which the sun will align with the center of the Milky Way galaxy, an event that occurs once every 26,000 years. This could have potentially catastrophic consequences because the galactic alignment has the potential to create a shift in the Earth's poles, causing disastrous environmental events."


"The forecast is based primarily on what is claimed to be the end-date of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, which is presented as lasting 5,125 years and as terminating on December 21 or 23, 2012, along with interpretations of assorted legends, scriptures, numerological constructions and prophecies," according to Wikipedia. Here, you get a VERY THOUGHTFUL analysis of the situation when you google "2012."




There are many books written on the subject, suggesting that all the hype is based on materialistic accumulations rather than sounding any alarm bells.



I say, "So What?" if either prediction comes through:

With the first, we wouldn't know what "hit us!"

With the second would serve the world well.

The thing that has me is that many of the people going around talking about doomsday are also some of the same spiritual leaders and so-called "visionaries," who talk about living in the Moment!


If we trust God in the "moment" we live each day, are we going to trust him less on December 21, 2012?

And even if we don't trust him, what can we DO, to fix the day?


It's not enough that we have to be scared about a threat that Sarah Palin will resurface big time in 2012...now, we've got to worry about saving ourselves from the event that will cause us to DIE?

My Advice:

Live in the MOMENT!

When the Apocalypse hits...you won't even KNOW IT...

You'll be so in the MOMENT!

Namaste',

Che'

It is always interesting how the majority of folks are always ready to jump on the bandwagon of negativity rather than the bandwagon of greatness, love and success. (Don't we want the latter?) As if the negativity that is filling the universe now is not enough: the recession despite God's inexhaustible supply! Someone needs to start the theme "Are you ready for 2010's Infinite Blessings?" Theme -- to be followed by the 2012 Love and Enlightenment Theme. Just the mere fact that we can write our own stories is so important to know.
