Over the past year I’ve been making a serious effort to live by my 4 primary spiritual beliefs. They’re very simple…

1) There’s nothing that is not God. Regardless of our individual choices as humans, we are all cut from the same cloth.

2) We do not think separately. On the human level it appears that we do. But as I look back at all the coincidences and synchronicities that have occurred in my life, I know that there’s a bigger, far more intricate network connecting us and guiding our individual actions.

The walks in the park when we bump into friends we haven’t seen in years… the incredible encounters with strangers on the grocery store line… the books that appear to have the perfect message at the perfect time… they only look random. They’re designed to look random, kind of like your spouse taking you out to dinner so the rest of your friends can decorate for your surprise party.

But in reality, they’re far from random. The reason why we have synchronicities is because there’s nothing that is not God. So how could you not know what to do?

3) Creation is our natural ability. The more you acknowledge and flex that ability, the stronger it becomes.

4) Perception is EVERYTHING. This is the truly glue that melds everything together. Whatever you perceive to be true, will play out as truth in your life.

I meditated on the whole concept of perception last Friday. As I was meditating, I felt an inner push to pull a card from the Wisdom of the Hidden Realms oracle deck by Colette Baron-Reid. When I pull random cards, I normally spread the cards across the table and use my left hand to feel the energy of the cards.

The card I pulled was The Eyes of Beauty. Here’s what the book says, “When the Eyes of Beauty show up as your Ally, they require you to examine your perceptions. Do you see the world as perfect and beautiful? Can you retrace your steps from your past to now and see the perfection in the way reality has been created?

Truly, perception is everything. A glass half-empty is the same as a glass half-full, yet so different according to how it’s perceived.”

I admit that even I was a little stunned by the accuracy of the message. Accuracy never gets boring though!

What Spiritual Beliefs Do You Live By?

This blog is called Spiritual Bonfire because the things that you believe should fuel a burning excitement and happiness within you. Your beliefs generate the bonfire.

If your beliefs generate fear and sadness, then you don’t have a bonfire. You have a flame coming from a match. How far do you think you’re going to get with that?

Beliefs should empower you to be greater, think better, and move closer to your powerful spiritual nature. Spiritual beliefs should bring you comfort, like woolly mittens or a bowl of soup on a cold day.

If you agree with my spiritual beliefs, you’re more than welcome to incorporate them in to your life. They certainly keep me moving and grooving. But if you have different beliefs, do you know exactly what those beliefs are? I mean are they vague concepts, or are you confident with what they’re saying? Do you actively incorporate them into your life?

As the old saying goes, if you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.
