“‘God’ in the Western World has become for many an insignificant object, surplus to requirements.
“The concept of ‘God’ and what it stands for plays little part in our day to day lives.
““We all get on well thank you without its guidance and power.”
“The church and its teachings do very little to stir or even move us into operating in a meaningful way – often out of touch with the realities of today.
““So we all would rather do our own thing and just be left alone.”
“‘God’, or the concept of ‘God’, is put away on the shelf and forgotten about, but sometimes brought out conveniently where weddings, baptisms and funerals require the dogma to ease our conscience that we are in fact doing the right thing, often with tongue in cheek.
“It seems the right thing to do for the occasion and so we do it. It is traditional. Where does our interest in ‘God’ lie?
“What purpose does ‘God’ serve in our day to day lives and yet again for most of us, none at all or so it appears?
“We as a race are more interested in the latest football results or our next holiday. That proves a much more interesting pastime than the actual finding out about ‘God’.
“So increasingly because the interest has been largely dismissed by past generations and because to many it is a boring subject and we can’t really be bothered, so it doesn’t get a mention.
“So with the subject increasingly being put on the back burner, it becomes an almost forgotten idea. Therefore the belief in “Does ‘God’ actually exist?” is neither here nor there and as you can’t actually see anything, the image becomes often vague and hazy.
“No one is actually interested anymore.
“All that we ever want and need is virtually supplied for us, so we don’t need any other help from anything we can’t see or even imagine, so the myth becomes the reality.
“The fact is that globally we are all so integrated now with so many different faiths and religions. This further dilutes for us what ‘God’ is all about and do we really need it anyway?
“We are lost in a sea of uncertainty and confusion. We live in a very material world, which bombards us in everyway through the television and the media advertising.
“All we ever need is already out there. We just need to grab it and say, “Thank you very much!”
“It is only when our circumstances change, usually in a dramatic way, often where we have lost control and the situation is often dire and useless, that we then find ourselves calling on ‘God’ to help us or even save us.
“Up until then, we have not needed ‘Him’ and so we don’t ever bother. It is only in times of trouble, if we have a belief system at all, do we bother?
“‘God’ has become an embarrassing word. It is a subject we do not talk about. We really are not interested anymore so the concept is forgotten, discarded. We really don’t want to know.
“Even those few people who manage to go to church often fall asleep or are bored when the priest delivers his or her sermon.
“They see it as an opportunity to be seen to be doing the right thing, never thinking they might be hypocritical, but weren’t they marvellous for going!
“How much does that church service change their lives or their thinking? Does it Matter?
“Are they ever moved to do great acts of kindness or charity, preferring that to be left to another to deal with?
“Everything seems to have lost that magic ingredient.
“We live at such a fast pace, where it is only instant gratification that we are after and in which we can only be satisfied.
“The virtue of doing what is right no longer applies so long as we are always okay.
“To enlighten those who only think of ‘God’ as myth and not fact, do not see the World around them as ‘God’ had intended.
“For a start ‘God’ is not a man on a throne with a white beard somewhere floating around in the sky, as has been previously portrayed in biblical paintings in the past.
“‘God’ is a Supreme Spirit Intelligence which is far reaching and all encompassing, able with vast powers of love to maintain the balance of nature and human fortunes – a Supreme Being and Creator and Ruler of the Universe.
“The Power and Intelligence to keep everything in perpetual motion, the Planets, the Sun and the Moon, all moving and held in the atmosphere all by this Intelligence, never failing, always constant.
“New stars being formed out of the atmosphere, created for a Divine Purpose as our Earth was all those billions of years ago and of which daily we always take for granted.
“‘God’, the Universal Intelligence, is there for our welfare, is the Creator of each and everyone of us and in great times of need where the impossible is upon us.
“Miracles do happen and it is only then are we confronted with the reality that out of sheer impossibility we are saved.
“Many people throughout the World have had Near Death Experiences. It so frequently happens and has been scientifically proven over many years.
“The people who have encountered these experiences all say the exact same thing.
““I saw the light and was completely overwhelmed by an Intelligence that knew all about me and spoke to me.
““There was a love I had never encountered before and I knew no matter what, I would be saved and that my fears and uncertainty left me and I was filled with the Divine Essence of Love.”
“Those people returning to their bodies, their lives through that profound experience are changed for all time.
“Never again do they go through life sleepwalking without care or consideration for others. They see nature with all its marvels in a different way.
“They start to have a purpose in their lives and are grateful for that second chance and come to really appreciate what life is all about.
“The Material World to them often appears shallow and of little consequence.
“Many people are shown that out of very difficult situations, a way out, a rescue package of some description, which sets their minds thinking, “This was impossible yet it still happened.”
“The Divine Intelligence is all around us daily and is that saving grace for us, if only we would start to recognise it and stop to think.
“None of us are in control of our lives. We might feel we are, but it only takes a split second and everything in that instant could change for us.
“We all live in a state of mass uncertainty, especially at present and so it is advisable to seek help and understanding for ourselves and to recognise that help when it comes. We need to be reminded that this Divine Intelligence you would call ‘God’ is behind our saving.
“‘God’ is good, is all loving, all embracing and has to abide by ‘His’ own Universal Laws.
“These Universal Laws are active in our lives daily and we come to recognise them as cause and effect.
“Because everything must remain in balance, in perfect harmony, throughout the Universe so that chaos does not ensue and we come to rely on the order and pattern of life in general, especially where nature and the seasons apply.
“So this balance must apply to our day to day lives. Universal Intelligence must make everything balance out so that harmony remains.
“If we as individuals or collectively go against these Universal Laws, so we set about a chain reaction and disruption starts to occur either in a small way or in a massive scale.
“So by our actions, whether good or bad, ‘God’ steps in to bring about balance to restore the order and, depending on the severity of the situation as to how long it will take for that balance to occur, finally harmony to be restored.
“‘God’ will never fight Man, but Man by his misdeeds continues to put ‘God’s’ Universal Laws to the test and will always come unstuck.
“Learn to recognise ‘God’s’ hand in everything and see by ‘His’ Laws, and they are foolproof, that ‘God’ is not myth but a necessary fact.”
