The following are some ways that we can align ourselves with God’s Spiritual Energy.

1. BELIEVE & KNOW THAT GOD IS ONE!

There is only one Creator to this Universe; and everything came into being through Him. There is no religion that disputes this fact:

• “The Lord our God, the Lord is One.” (Deuteronomy 6:4)
• He is the One God, hidden in all beings, all-pervading, the Self within all beings, watching over all…” (Svetasvatara Upanishad 6:11)
• “He is God, the One!” Qur’an 112
• “…there are varieties of working, but it is the same God who inspires them all…” (1Corinthians 12:4-7)
• “I am the Source of everything. From Me all creation emerges. (Bhagavad-Gita 10:8)

Where ever we were born, whatever the color of our skin, whichever path we choose to follow God  gave the same gift of life to each of us. This priceless gift was actually a part of Himself that He placed within us; and it allows us to share in the joys of “being” or “consciousness”. Therefore, because of this gift we should honor Him & love Him. And if we see division between any people, we cannot come to know the One True God in which ALL IS ONE!

2. ACT & LIVE AS A CHILD OF GOD

Upon waking repeat to yourself: “I am a Child of God”. Then, do the same before you go to bed at night. When you are feeling down or weak repeat the same affirmation as a way to raise your energy & self-confidence. It’s amazing how much power affirmations hold over how we feel and what we believe.

The point is to really feel deep in the core of your being that God is your Father; and that you have come from Him. When we were created we were given this royal birthright. Like Esau we gave it up by our own choice (Genesis 25:30-34). Why not reclaim it now and live the life we were destined to be living!

3. BE AS INNOCENT & FORGIVING AS CHILDREN

If you have small children you will understand what this means very easily. For, you can get mad and yell at a little child, which may make them upset for a moment, but that moment passes very quickly. They soon get over what they are feeling and are quick to forgive and start playing with you again as if nothing happened.

Let us become like children and quickly forgive and/or let go of any grudges. When we harbor animosity in our heart we construct a wall between ourselves and God. Let us start to tear down any walls which we have built. And let us do always what is good; and give to those in need.

4. GUARD YOUR HOLINESS & LET NO WICKEDNESS DWELL WITHIN YOU

Whenever an evil or negative thought arises, immediately replace it with a positive one. The more closely we guard our thoughts the more control we have over what type of energy we are attuning to. Remember, that in our world “like attracts like”; and our minds are like radio transmitters always sending signals out and receiving signals from the Universe. Therefore, the more attention we give to negativity and evil thoughts the more of it we will notice and attract into our world.

Also, when we allow any negativity or evil to enter or dwell in us, we suffocate or suppress the Holy Spirit of God within us! Therefore, “be holy; for the Lord our God is holy.” (Leviticus 11:44)

5. LOVE THE TRUTH & LET IT FLOW FROM YOUR LIPS

Let only truth come from your mouth so that the spirit of God may be recognized within you. In this way we glorify God & connect with His spirit; for the Lord is true in every word. In fact, because God is Truth those that can recognize truth knows that it comes from Him. Therefore, when you speak it to people it’s as if they are hearing the voice of God coming from you.

• “These are the things that you shall do: Speak the truth to one another…” (Zechariah 8:16)
• “He who speaks truth declares righteousness”( Proverbs 12:17)
• “Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, But those who deal truthfully are His delight” (Proverbs 12:22)
• “Always speak the truth. Shun words that are deceitful and ostentatious” (Quran 22:30)

The Buddhists & Hindus also hold “truthfulness (satyam)” as one of the highest principles of their philosophies.

6. BE PATIENT AND UNDERSTANDING WITH YOURSELF

The spiritual road is not traveled in a day; and God is not attained overnight (although sometime He may come very unexpectedly). Therefore, self-mastery takes time. It may take weeks or possibly months to train ourselves to break free from the chains of hindering habits which we have acquired over our lifetime. Just be aware that even baby steps will get you to your final destination. Therefore, do not be hard on yourself if you feel that you aren’t progressing as fast as you hope for.

God knows what’s in your heart & just having the intention of wanting a relationship with Him will begin to set the wheels in motion for bringing Him into your life.

May God bless you on your journey!

And may you remember to always – Heed the Spirit,
