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!
