The aura is an energy field
that surrounds and permeates the physical body. All that we say, think and
do, is reflected in our individual aura. When a person passes over into
spirit, all that is reflected in one's aura is retained in one's spirit.
Many people have encountered near-death experiences and they report seeing
their entire life flash before their eyes in an instant. When we transform
into spirit we are able to view the far-reaching effects that we have had
on the world during our entire physical incarnation. All of the joy,
happiness, pain, sorrow and suffering that we have brought into the lives
of others is seen and experienced simultaneously. We never truly know the
extent of our effect on the world until this transformation is made. That
which we perceive to be minor may, in actuality, have far-reaching and
long-lasting effects or consequences. A few words of encouragement may be
all that is needed to help transform someone's life into something
wonderful. In turn, these people may touch many other lives in a positive
way. One harsh word, action or reaction, however, may send a person into
the depths of despair. This despair will be reflected in all that this
person thinks, says and does. It will, in turn, have an effect on all the
lives that this individual touches. Unknowingly, we may be the proverbial
straw that breaks the camel's back.
You may not
feel significant to the world, but you may be the world to another
person. All of us are linked together and we affect one another in a
chain reaction. All the people in the world, together, form a kind of
gigantic nuclear reactor. A nuclear reactor is a powerful source that
can be used to sustain or destroy life. All of humanity can work
together to establish a world of peace. On the flip side of the coin, we
can all work against one another, bringing forth world-wide destruction.
We are like tiny little molecules, continuously acting and reacting.
Choosing to do nothing is still a form of action. This may be considered
to be a dormant state. Dormancy may be a hindrance or a saving grace
when all factors are taken into consideration. God has given us free
will, and we can follow the divine plan that God has in mind for us or
we can get off course and create complications and disruptions that may
lead to destruction. One split second decision may have life-long
consequences. In a blink of an eye, life can be given or taken away. All
that we have worked for on the material plan can be diminished in an
instant. In this high-tech society, all the knowledge we have obtained
over the years can become obsolete as quickly as we can turn our heads.
Through our Faith, the only thing that cannot be diminished is our soul.
Through the grace of God we can be granted eternal life. To have eternal
happiness is to live in the presence of God forever. To have eternal
pain and suffering is to live in the absence of God forever.
God's love is
unconditional. He knows what is in our hearts and understands our needs
long before we do. Once we turn our lives over to God and allow his
divinity to work through us, we become inseparable from the source that
created us. We start to become one with the Universe .
As individuals we are
constantly working to evolve. To err is human. No one is one hundred
percent perfect or pure. Purification of the soul is a continual process.
We must work continually to purge all that is within us that is not
constructive, changing negative thought patterns into positive ones,
eliminating poor habits and establishing new and constructive routines.
Remember,
sometimes its the little things in life that count the most!
