Thinking Spiritually for Peace, Happiness, and Harmony – Background
In earlier posts, I introduced and discussed that there is only one reality and Truth; this truth is that there is one supreme power that drives life from birth to death, and this power is called by several names: God, Brahman, infinite mind, and divine mind. For simplicity, we will call this power God, responsible for every cause and effect in this universe, is present as a whole in every living being, and constantly guides us 24/7. Spirituality tries to synchronize our human mind, driven by our ego, with the infinite mind; we start thinking spiritually and experience peace, happiness, and harmony. All the other topics I discuss are to enable and achieve this synchronization with our thoughts and actions so that all our needs and desires are met.
Spiritual versus Material Thinking:
How Spiritual thinking differs from materialistic thinking: Spiritual thinking starts from God as being all-in-all. He is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. Spiritual is all-powerful, present everywhere, and all-knowing. He is the cause and effect of everything in this universe. Material thinking, on the other hand, is derived from the human mind and ego and is prone to selfishness, envy, greed, and hatred. Consequently, material-based thinking will have undesirable consequences. Let me illustrate with a few examples.
Suppose we are out of a job, run out of resources, are tired of looking for a job, and get hungry, but we have no money to buy food. So we ask strangers for help and beg, but most turn us down. Even if someone helped, we could buy just one meal, and the process would repeat. On the other hand, we go back to the Truth that the divine mind created us, the infinite mind has unlimited resources to help, and He will not let us starve. It gives confidence in your face. You suddenly help some older man cross the street. He is very thankful and finds out what you are doing. In return, he says not to worry; he makes a few calls, and you get a good job, and all your worries have vanished. I agree that this is just an imagination, but it is not too far from how God, the divine mind, comes to your help in time. That is one of the laws of God’s adjustment. Adam Dickey, one of the assistants of Mary Baker Eddy, founder and discoverer of Christian Science, wrote an article back in 1916 in the Christian Science Journal (

The two paths, worldly thinking, and spiritual thinking, are not parallel or converge, and the farther along you are in your materialistic thinking, the greater is the distance from spiritual reflection. This is because worldly thinking is based on the human ego, and the ego will be much more significant as you keep moving in that path. On the other hand, the spiritual review is not based on the human ego but the opposite, that the God within you is all-powerful and surrendering all selfishness and ego to God. It is possible to shift to spiritual thinking at any stage but requires even greater practice and humility. Once it becomes intuitive, you will be able to avoid a lot of conflicts. One of the areas you might find the greatest battles is making some critical decisions with several choices. The way you can decide is to see which option produces the most harmony. Since God, the divine mind, wants you to be harmonious, that is probably the right choice. Even if it is not the right choice, the divine mind will force you to change in the right direction. This is the principle of spiritual thinking. It will allow refining your review when needed; all it needs is complete trust in God. In conclusion, spiritual reflection leads to peace, happiness, and harmony.
