			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Someone might ever ask you like these, &#8220;We always say want to know the will of God but really for what? So we are not misled and loss. Actually, just to our fears, that&#8217;s our motivation.&#8221; If Christians want to seek God&#8217;s will generally belong to two things: looking for a mate and looking for work. So, if you expect there are rules of thumb in finding a soul mate or a job then my advice go seek it outside. </p>
<p>Instead you will be very blessed if inside you deeply, you want to find out what was in the heart of God, you want to find what God&#8217;s will, whether it be &#8220;beneficial&#8221; yourself or not. In the cosmic drama, a conflict interest (desire) is continuous between the human beings who have the ability to fight against God with God and His will.<br />
<span id="more-98"></span><br />
The will of God from various aspects: the universe, how to be a real man (vertical and horizontal position), in general revelation, human culture, redemption of Christ, and the choice. Then, how to have joy and sorrow according to God&#8217;s will, and the last before practical steps to seek the will of God, how to implement and fulfill the will of God.</p>
<p>God&#8217;s will seem hard at all happened when Romans 11:36 plainly say, so should not one that can obstruct the will of God.<br />
Augustine found how do I know all this. Everything created by God execute the will of God, but it is people who often do not execute the will of God, therefore people need to repent. God did not call heaven to repent. Therefore, man is the only creature that given the potential to run the will of God, even against the will of God.</p>
<p>In one part of the Our ​​Father prayer, the Lord Jesus taught, &#8216;Thy will be done on earth as in heaven. &#8220;This sentence is very important. The will of God in the entire universe and in heaven there is no obstacle. But the will of God on earth as if the trouble can be completed and therefore the task of calling God&#8217;s children are running the will of God, as servants of God in heaven that does not obstruct the will of God. Humans are too ordinary against the will of God. Humans are so small, trivial and contemptible that it is the only creature who dared to fight against God.</p>
<p>Its always interesting to understand the will of the Lords, some even made a book or paper based on it. If you like to start a paper on your own or customize paper consider to <a href="http://mywritingexpert.com/content/buy-custom-term-paper.html" target="_blank">buy custom paper</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ten Ways to Connect With the Divine and to Find the Higher Self </p>
<p>Each religion approaches the divine in a unique way. Here are ten universal paths practiced by devotees to find God and connect with the higher self. </p>
<p>Every path to God is a personal experience, a private journey. No one path is inherently superior, as all paths to God are valid and useful.<br />
Jesus said, &#8220;I and the Father are One.&#8221; (John 10:30) Humans and God are one. As devotees draw nearer and nearer to God, the ultimate goal is to merge with the Divine in an intimately spiritual union. Sri Ramana Maharishi, the famous Indian guru who achieved enlightenment at the age of 16, asserts, &#8220;God, Guru, and the Self are the same.&#8221; (p. 10, Erase the Ego)<span id="more-34"></span><br />
Meditation as a Means to Draw Near to God<br />
When a devotee quiets the mind, the inner voice can be more easily heard and heeded. Meditation allows for the cultivation of the state of mind needed to achieve enlightenment.<br />
Buddhists, Christians, Hindus and other religions use meditation as a means to quiet the inner chatter and hear the voice of God, or the wisdom of the Higher Self.<br />
Prayer as a Communication and Primary Path to God<br />
Prayer can take many forms, including recitation of a mantra or repetitions with a rosary. Prayer can be a silent plea to the universe or a specific, intimate dialog with a personal, living God.<br />
Prayer can involve specific requests of God or the Universe; expressions of appreciation for blessings; and communications of thanks, or cries for help.<br />
Temporary Vow of Silence to Find the Higher Self and God<br />
Silence does not just involve resting the vocal cords. Many religions advocate silent retreats, such as Christians, Hindus, and Buddhists.<br />
Ritual silence can be used as a religious tool to quiet the mind to a deeper level than a meditative session. Silence is a disciplined, unique way to connect with the Higher Self and with God.<br />
Yoga as a Discipline to Reconnect the Mind, Body, and Spirit With God<br />
This ancient discipline is a subtle yet powerful path to God. The root word &#8220;yuj&#8221; means &#8220;to join, to yoke, to concentrate one&#8217;s attention.&#8221;<br />
According to the Sanskrit Glossary of Yogic Terms, yoga is &#8220;a method of practice leading to conscious union of the human being (atman) with the universal existence of Brahman.&#8221; Brahman is the Hindu Trinity Godhead, similar to Christianity&#8217;s concept of the Holy Trinity. (Yoga Publications Trust, 2007)<br />
Tithing and Offerings to God<br />
Flowers, money, and personal sacrifice (as Catholics practice during Lent) are all examples of devotees&#8217; external expressions of offering a part of themselves. Devotion is expressed through offerings, gift giving, giving of oneself. Tithing and offerings are expressions of love.<br />
Acts of Kindness and Compassion as an Expression of the Divine<br />
Jesus preached the importance of loving others, including it as one of the Ten Commandments given to Moses. The Dalai Lama teaches that compassion can be learned, and calls all who wish to achieve enlightenment to practice compassion.<br />
Forgiveness is a supreme act of compassion, and also shows emotional and spiritual maturity. To forgive is divine, and is one way to draw closer to God.<br />
Study of the Holy Texts Illuminate the Path to God<br />
The Jewish religion emphasizes study as a means to understand and draw nearer to God. Christians study the Bible, revering the sacred text as a manifestation of God Himself: &#8220;And the Word became flesh&#8230;&#8221; (John 1:14)<br />
Healthy Love of Self and Emotional Maturity as a Path to God<br />
If God and the Self are the same, then a healthy love of self is absolutely necessary in spiritual growth, devotion to and love of God. Healthy love of oneself is a step in reconnecting to the Higher Self and emotional maturity allows for synthesis of mind, body and spirit.<br />
Ethical Decisions Draw the Righteousness Near to God<br />
Ethics does not involve right vs. wrong or good vs. evil, but rather entails a consistency of moral code. While some religions may differ on ideas and philosophies of morality, ethics and righteousness prove a powerful path to God, as a disciplined approach to what one believes is right.<br />
Rituals as an Outward Expression of Devotion and Commitment to God<br />
Pagans, Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and others all practice religious rituals. Culturally, humans crave ritual to give order and increase meaning to outward acts of devotion. Rituals can provide structure and discipline to devotion. Some use rituals as a tangible lifeline that leads directly to God.<br />
Devotees can use one, several, or all of these paths to God and to the Higher Self. For example, japa mala combines ritual with prayer and meditation.<br />
Just as seekers approach the study of the Kabbalah, Jewish mysticism, from different angles, so the seeker can approach and ultimately unite with the Divine, the One God, the Higher Self, or the Universe using any of these valid and powerful paths.</p>]]></content:encoded>
