"The failure to understand what ego and egoism means to one's own stability in life, maturity in life, is sad to watch, to listen to, and to live with. Ego, egoism is a weakness developed through, by, and because of the fear of insecurity. Sometimes people, who in reality suffer because of this major problem in their personality, their nature and their principles, drive people away from them, even though they have many other good qualities and virtues. To be egotistical cramps one's ability to be socially acceptable. Also, it makes relationships difficult because when someone is so full of…

Adolescence is a striving to conquer one's immaturity, rise above it, and depend upon the experiences of life to develop a rightful place in the family, among friends and socially. They are not always secure in this, but they never stop groping and hoping for that steady existence that growing up appears to have. Each year is lived one day at a time. Some are full, some are dull, some are filled with changes. The…

A Relaxed mind allows new ideas to enter into a mode for a more positive approach in concentrating on sound methods for Spiritual success. Reforming one's old habits can stimulate a new motivation to conquer weaknesses, and learning to face life in a realistic,…

View Entire Revelation"Dear God, So many times since I was a small boy I would wonder why little things might tempt me in the wrong way and things I considered big did not seem to matter to me. I grew up hearing the word 'temptation'. I associated it with areas of life I felt were impure. Now I realize that temptation has many paths to it and comes in ways that I do not always see as impurities. By impurities I mean, God, impure actions of my mind and my body. Temptations, as I see them now, are oftentimes my desire for…

The concise Wording may be easy to learn, but it leaves much chance to misinterpretation and little depth to Their full meaning. It is time Roman Catholics, as well as other Christians, demand more information regarding God's Ten Commandments."
View Entire Teaching"We have human atrocities in many places throughout the world, many based on an individual's sense of justice or an organization's uncivilized practice of justice. We have Spiritual atrocities through satanic cults and other fanatical-oriented groups that justify abnormal uncivilized behavior. We are inundated with physical cruelties in today's society. Cruelty is practiced through dominance, brainwashing, and in many ways, many times, through the power and control of monetary holdings. There are many weapons; in fact, too many to mention here, that are used to mutilate the bodies of other human beings, some of which are to control the wills…
