Spiritual Thinking is the ultimate way to discern Life’s purpose.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know my plans for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 32:19
Nineteen great are your purposes, and mighty are your deeds. Your eyes are open to the ways of all humanity; you reward each person according to their conduct and as their deeds deserve.
Job 42:2
2 “I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted.
Proverbs 16:4
4 The LORD works out everything to its proper end— even the wicked for a day of disaster.
Proverbs 19:21
21 Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but the LORD’s purpose prevails.
Matthew 6:10
“Thy kingdom comes, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”
God, Divine Mind created man in His image and likeness; however, He did not want each one to be the same, like cars coming out of an assembly line. He instilled specific individuality in each one. No two people have the same fingerprint or DNA. Why is that? He wanted everyone to be different, with different characteristics, talents, looks, aspirations, goals, etc. He is not a racist, either. That is why He created white, black, brown, and yellow people, just like He made flowers of different colors and fragrances. But when He made all these individuals, He also had a purpose for each life He created. Knowing our purpose in life is a difficult thing to perceive. A lot of us spend our whole life trying to find our goal. This happens because of an eternal conflict between the human ego and the Divine Mind:
The human ego and our thoughts are derived from the material human brain. Selfishness, a superiority complex, ignorance, lack of compassion or empathy, integrity or character, compassion for other God-created human beings, etc., drive them. This list can continue until we understand that God created each of us the way we are and that a purpose for how we are made resides 24/7 in each of us to guide us when we seek His help. It is for us to reach out to Him rather than vice versa. We can be as obnoxious as we want like some of the political scoundrels amongst us, whose job they think is to lie and confuse us to get an unfair advantage over us. If we practice Spiritual Thinking by synchronizing our thoughts with the Divine Mind inside us all the time, we will be able to listen to what God has to say, and our purpose in life will also become apparent. On the other hand, if we are bullheaded and will do only what we like, we may also have to face the consequences of those actions, that is, accept responsibility. Let me take the story of Jonah from the Bible. Jonah was a prophet, and God had commissioned him to go to Nineveh, a very disobedient and sinful town, and preach there. Jonah was afraid that he would get killed, a should go in the opposite direction and escape. A storm ensued with huge waves, that the ship was about to sink. Jonah confessed to the captain that he disobeyed God and headed in the opposite direction, which is why the ship had to endure the big storm. The captain immediately threw Jonah overboard, and the storm subsided. A big fish swallowed Jonah, and the fish miraculously vomited Jonah on nearby land. Jonah realized his mistake and returned to Nineveh and preached there. The moral of this story is that God’s will is always done. We have two choices. Either we accept God’s purpose or be forced to suffer and take.
In my own life, I had an excellent reputation in my career until I got an obnoxious boss who was so challenging to deal with because he was so paranoid that anyone who showed any genuine goodwill would think that they were scheming to destroy him. The more I tried to assure him, the more he would run away, constantly conspiring against me. I got so tired of dealing with this guy that I left the big corporation I worked for. The upper management locked me from going anywhere else and finally handed me over to the political hierarchy, who made my whole career miserable and meaningless with much racism thrown in. I faced all that because, from age ten, I had practiced Spiritual Thinking and was willing to do whatever I could to sustain my wife and daughters and let scoundrels fight against the Divine Mind inside me. Since they always lost, without knowing that they were pitched against God, they thought I was a great manipulator, and somehow they will outsmart me. The sad part is they could not spend a minute to think why I would try to manipulate or play any games when I am the one who is suffering. That happens when you are blinded by ego, pride, or racism. These people never learned from Gandhi or Martin Luther King, Jr. I took retirement in India since the Social Security checks went much farther than in the US. Only when the Pandemic Struckcould I’d see my purpose; I recognized that it was a manifestation of falsity or unreality caused by excessive ungodly thinking spreading like wildfire in social media. All the lies and gossip were propagated as truths bound to cause the Maya effects. Whereas vaccines could mitigate it materially, the variations could outsmart any materialistic solutions and had to be dealt with at a spiritual level. I initially started a WhatsApp group to share spiritual thinking experiences. Still, I soon realized that most people thought spiritual thinking was about sharing pictures of various Gods( idols) or chanting some mantras without contemplating truths. So I started a Blogging website named SpiritualSupplementsforlife.com but soon changed it to another site called https://www.thinkspiritually.net/, the current website on which I am writing this post. Shortlyon after the pandemic became insignificant. Although I built the traffic up reasonably fast, right from the day the Ukraine-Russia war started, either the Pundits blocked my website, for pundits to make money from it or, by coincidence, the views per month dropped from several thousand to a few per day. Since Divine Mind is in charge, let it take its time to propagate the truth. But living on Social Security, I cannot please all the SEO vultures and the other website pundits who care only about milking money from any sucker they can. Fortunately, Kdp.amazon.com allowed me to publish my book “Think Spiritually- Spiritual Thinking for Life” at minimal cost, and I will spread the word at whatever pace God wants me to. The whole point is that God, Divine Mind, has a purpose for each of His creations that will ultimately become obvious through Spiritual Thinking.
