Spiritual Justice

Everything you really need you have. It is working through you, it is talking through you, thinking through you, feeling in a higher way through you. And you begin to see for yourself that the chip on the shoulder can come off. You don’t have to battle anything, I don’t care how unjust it is out in the world and it’s all unjustice, injustice. You don’t have to be concerned about that, because it is getting increasingly clear to you that there really, truly, thank Heaven, there really is justice in this world.
     There is justice in your world. I didn’t say in the social world, physical world out there. Justice can come down from its originating point high up there and enter into you and be your justice.
     Now do you understand what that means by justice? Look, there are two levels of it. There is social justice: a man commits a crime, you must have justice to slap him down and slap him down hard. That’s the only way he’s going to understand anything and he’s not going to understand justice anyway; he can only understand that he’d better not do that again or he’s going to get it again and he will get swift and sure justice. I'm talking about sending that monster to jail and you must have that, and you must have it immediate, and you must have it tough. If you don’t, pretty soon the animals are going to take over and I will tell you, look around, the animals are taking over.
     I want you to have spiritual justice inside of you, so that you understand what it really is. Now, I just said two things. Let’s bring them together to understand them. I said this is a hostile, hateful, crazy, violent, beastly world. One of its tricks, which unfortunately you’ve fallen for and we are correcting authentically this morning, one of its tricks is to make you afraid of it — bluff, intimidation, screaming at the top of their voices. I want you to never, I order you, to never again be upset by the animals out there. That’s all they are, and they’re wearing suits and they look smooth and they sound intelligent and they show you their degrees and their high positions. And with that false phony front, they can fool you any time. And this morning it’s going to stop.
    How does it stop? Not by getting mad that there’s no justice. The average person doesn’t want justice, he wants to grab something. That’s his idea of justice — give me what I demand; if you don’t give it to me, I’ll hit you. That’s not the kind of justice we’re talking about. We’re talking about an inner state, a beautiful healthy nature, in which you can be a living Daniel of your own and you can walk right into the lion’s cage, and the lions take one look at you and they fall down and turn their eyes away. They are afraid of you.
     That is, of the higher nature that they have to sense and they will always sense it. Oh, they’ll hate it; they’ll despise it because they love evil more than they love light. But they won’t be able to do a single thing about it. But, listen to me, you have to be the cosmic policeman in order to have complete control over the mad mob. Your part is not to try to save the world. Your part is to try to save yourself, which can be done, so that the world can never, ever in any way be a problem to you.

Secret of Spiritual Abandonment (Stop Complaining)

When I hear people complain anywhere, any time, I know one thing. I know that they have not learned the secret of spiritual self-abandonment. I know that they haven’t listened to higher wisdom.

The Law of Attraction

     A tourist who was not noted for deep thinking was traveling through a mountainous region. Wishing to take some photographs of bears, he asked a citizen of a small village where he might find the animals. “Just put out some food,” he was advised, “and the bears will come.”
    An hour later the tourist raced frantically back to the village, frightened and minus his camera. Between gulps of air he gasped, “I put out food for the bears. The bears came.”
    Whether conscious of it or not, our actions attract the kind of people and conditions in our lives.

How to End Suffering on Forgetfulness

The commentary series below is focused on a particular negative emotion, painful feeling, negative trait or state of human beings that causes us tremendous pain and suffering. Perhaps you will recognize that you yourself have had personal experience with this condition. You’ll find the explanation of how it causes suffering and how it produces detrimental effects in your daily life. You will also be shown how Truth can help you to lessen these effects and how you can eventually eliminate them from your life altogether. A new negative characteristic of human nature will be gone into each month. It will be great fun to explore these things in order to help us see through them and to be rid of them.

by Bill Brown
In Vernon Howard’s spiritual teachings, we get — and forget — what should be unforgettable, such as his statement, “The Kingdom of Heaven is located in the space between two thoughts.” We forget these unforgettable spiritual teachings because there’s an active, malicious and sinister force working directly on our minds and emotions to make us forget these truths. The intention of this force is to keep us distracted from the genuine purpose of our lives, which is to live from our God-given essence, from the Spirit of Truth itself.
Our main aim in this life is to always remember that this is a temporary existence and that our real home exists in a Higher World. To reach this Higher World, we must constantly work to let go of all of the negativity and pain caused by the false nature. The essence is already within us, but it must be uncovered and awakened.
Ordinary computer programs have a fixed set of steps that they can follow, while artificial intelligence (AI) systems change as they take in more information, and have more interactions with human beings.
AI systems have an incredible ability to organize information, images, etc., plus the ability to detect useful patterns that would not otherwise be obvious. In fact, New Life Foundation has used AI systems to compare models for an expensive equipment purchase and to solve a problem related to launching the revised New Life website. In both cases, AI did in seconds what would have taken a lot of time and effort. AI is very useful when used in this way, but it has no ability to replicate the spirit.
About 40 years ago, Vernon Howard amazingly explained all of this in one of his lectures. On September 21, 1986, Vernon Howard gave a spiritual talk that featured this excerpt, a supremely useful illustrative story:
“Once upon a time there was a brilliant scientist — that always means intellectually agile, having nothing to do with anything
above mechanical thinking, brilliant as far as this world is concerned. He invented a supercomputer… fed it endless knowledge…
taught it how to behave in the social world and in the business world… gave it extraordinary power above all other mere
computers…. (It) was made so much like a human being that (it) began to acquire and express human characteristics… and oh yes,
I hope you’re going to make the parallels here with human life….”
This sounds familiar of course with what is happening in the world today. To learn more, I recommend getting this lecture which is on MP3 CD, Volume 6.

What stands out is that your redesign is less cluttered and busy than the original. Very nice. Thank you.”
