story where you felt god' help in life
Answers
Explanation:
During my over 25 year spiritual journey I have read a large number of channelled books on life and spirituality.
God – an autobiography is the latest among them and it has given me the widest and deepest knowledge about God and what God is up to with humans on planet earth.
Among many things, it importantly tells us about the role of humans vis-a-vis God and also how God is evolving as humans evolve.
Though the book is an autobiography of God earnestly channelled by Jerry Martin a former professor of philosophy at the University of Colorado at Boulder in USA, through whom God chooses to narrate the amazing experience during the Big Bang and also the revelation of the relationship with God beyond God – the soul of God, to me, this illuminating book has also served as a self-help guide!
From the book I learnt what God would have us do to take forward the goal of the universe referred to as “telos”. I also learnt and applied to my life a cardinal rule that we must be OBEDIENT to God. I inferred that this can be done in various ways –
1. Thinking before every action what God would prefer and the book has made clear that what God prefers is whatever would make you your best self.
2. Not getting attached to material pleasures because this may turn you away from being obedient to God.
3. Allowing yourself to be guided by God by letting go of your mind as often as you can and following the divine light of God like sunflowers following the path of the sun.
4. Taking guidance and acting upon it like two singers in harmony. That is how God would like us to relate.
5. Not going over the deep-end of spirituality thereby serving the purpose of life and action on earth.
My understandings of the book certainly led to greater harmony within and outside of me.
Another great part of the book is that you get a synopsis of many different philosophies of the world at one place from none other than the author of these philosophies – God! The Chinese philosophies of Confucius, Tao and I-Ching, Zoroastrianism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism and Christianity to name a few are all condensed here brilliantly. This has been done for us to realise that all these philosophies are chapters in one big continuing story of mankind.
If you have even the slightest interest in spirituality, this is a book that you may end up reading more than once and there will be newness to it every time you read it.
