SPIRITUAL GARDEN
“… and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.”
Jer. 31:12
The analogy of a spiritual garden has long been used to explain our role in the creative process of Life. Jesus used it extensively in his parables, and New Thought teachers have also used the analogy of a concept as a seed of thought. Ernest Holmes carries the allusion further, comparing a gardeners care of the soil with caring for one 's soul. Just as the soil is a field wherein the creative intelligence of Life works, so also is your soul a field of creativity and intelligence. It is here that the Life of God flows through you, becoming for you that which It can become through you, according to what you believe about yourself. Just as a garden plot exists within the whole of Nature, what we call our soul is our use of the universal Soul of Life, for there is no separation within an infinite Life. Our life is the Life we call God. Your soul is a spiritual garden within the perfect nature of God. Your garden is creative because it is the nature of Life to create. Your thought is creative in the same way a seed is creative: it provides the limits through which the limitless Life is expressed.

“The universal creative Law of Mind, of which you are a part, creates for you according to your choice. Too often that choice is determined by emotional attitudes, without due regard to thoughtful decision. Too often it is a negative emotional
Most teachings explain that one who comes to know the true nature of awareness is the one who also comes to know the God. If you think that God created all life, then God is the creator of every human life and nature. This is why the search to discover the nature of one's own innermost essence is the search for
“No one is born fully-formed: it is through self-experience in the world that we become what we are.”
“Let them be as flowers, always watered, fed, guarded, admired, but harnessed to a pot of dirt.”
The resources of the soul are immense and go far beyond our highest imagination. We do not know our soul’s potential, however, we do know that it is almost immeasurable.Finally, both men believe that the imagination can uplift and change our lives.
These quotes only echo the beliefs held by our society in the supremacy of reason and the mind over emotion and the body. Our schools' primary function is to train the brain, while ignoring the training of our bodies and our emotions. Each student may take one physical education class for the body and maybe one creative class for the emotions, but this does not compare to the other four or five classes he takes a day to further his brain. The trends of our society clearly show that our society strives for dominance of the mind over the body.
Numerous women in the world today deal with challenges understanding the importance of self-awareness and love. Janie, the protagonist, defies happiness by searching for love. Behind her defiance are a curiosity and confidence that drive her to experience the world and become conscious of her relation to it. In the novel “Their Eyes Were Watching God”, Zora Neal Hurston applies symbolism to express the possibility of coexistence between love and a sense of independence. As an illustration, Zora Neale Hurston uses a simile to vividly describe the intensity of love.
Our parents raise us hoping for us to develop certain character traits, but there comes to a point when we start to become our own person based on the experiences we go through, any situation, good or bad, can influence our personality mentally and emotionally. Emotion is what makes us human, it's how we cope and how we manage our crazy lives’. When our feelings get damaged or even nourished, it will change how we react
Individuals fail in life due to their inability to be true to their emotions. According
Our emotions in many cases affect our perception of events as well as the actions that we take ourselves by permeating our way of thinking, and therefore affecting each thing that we do in that moment. In particular, emotions about the perception of ourselves have been shown to have both the ability to positively and negatively affect our actions and performances in life. This is what can be
Someone’s psychological state isn’t always what some observers in a person. The mindset of someone can differ from people’s actions that they do, which can show one's true nature. People’s actions can be based by one’s beliefs, intelligence, talents, personality, and how they were raised. These are the main causes that can affect people’s
and become a better Christian, as it is seen in the poem’s last supplication to Jesus,
The ideas of the human being are based upon their thought process and the feelings that are caused due to such actions or behaviors. Thus not depending on feelings and behaviors, not things that are external, including people, situation and events. There is a certain benefit of this act that can change the way we feel, think and act better even if a certain situation does not improve.
In this book, Sam Harris believed that the reality about human mind does not diminish morality and the significance of social and political freedom, however it can and should modify the way individuals believe about some of the most essential questions in life. The idea of free will affects almost everything that us, human beings, give importance to. It is hard to comprehend about morality, as well as the sentiment of guilt or even personal accomplishments without first thinking that every human being is the true foundation of his or her thoughts and actions. Thus far, the facts tell us that free will is just a mere
I feel like this is what Sartre is trying to get out with his writing. That it is better to take a step back and really feel what we are trying to decide on, rather than jumping to conclusion because the brain just said it was the right thing to do. I believe that Sartre describes also in my own words that humans have a natural instinct that when decisions are to be made will naturally help set you in the right direction. Just as long as one reacts because of both thought and feeling, and not just from one or the other. It is harder to accomplish this say as in Sartre’s pupil’s eyes because both decisions are for a great means with two very good, very different outcomes. An example is when Sartre writes “In the end, it is feeling that counts; the direction in which it is really pushing me is the one I ought to choose. If I feel that I love my mother enough to sacrifice everything else for her-my will to be avenged, all my longings for action and adventure then I stay with
Life is full of mysteries, there is so much that is unknown even within ourselves. Throughout human existence there has been a lot of things left uncertain and unanswered. One of the biggest discoveries uncovered has something to do with our thoughts/mind and it goes by “the law of attraction”. The law of attraction states that our thoughts, whether it's consciously or unconsciously, determine the reality of our lives based on what we put our focus on “you get what you think about; your thoughts determine your destiny”.
