I even heard of people having romantic relationships with AI. That reminded me of an episode of The Big Bang Theory where Raj got almost romantically attached to Siri lol.

Over the weekend, I felt upset that nobody on a particular social media chat (not here of course) had asked me if I was OK after being in the hospital, despite them knowing is was in, out and home. After posting a long rant, someone suggested I try some AI app/generic platitude bot/imaginary friend thing. I posted that I needed more IRL friends then left. From there I started my new vlog series, which will include commentary on this very subject.

Welcome to Magic! / Re: Faith

I have to really think on this one. In a recent discussion titled, "Instant Healing" the word Faith was brought up.

Yesterday, someone defined Faith for me quoting the bible.

This morning, a channeled message on another forum was randomly selected defining Faith.

I have Faith that there is a guiding Spirit bringing this energy and contemplation to my awareness.

Now I find myself questioning whether I agree with the definitions brought to me, how I understand it, what I think it means.

I'm curious how others experience and define Faith???

Sometimes when the Universe talks to us, we don't always know the context. For example, maybe Faith is the name of a person. See if someone by that name needs your attention.

Well it might be helpful to think of every person walking through the door of the hotel as having been sent by the Universe, God, as an opportunity for you to progress Spiritually, in accordance with  your own perception, thoughts, feelings and actions.

Thank you for the reminder of thinking of challenges as opportunities to learn/grow. Reading that on here awhile back has helped me immensely coping with intense stress.

Adrian, thanks for quoting what Jesus said. I am actually back to reading paper 196 "The Faith of Jesus" and I really enjoy the first few paragraphs:

JESUS enjoyed a sublime and wholehearted faith in God. He experienced the ordinary ups and downs of mortal existence, but he never religiously doubted the certainty of God's watchcare and guidance. His faith was the outgrowth of the insight born of the activity of the divine presence, his indwelling Adjuster. His faith was neither traditional nor merely intellectual; it was wholly personal and purely spiritual.

196:0.2 (2087.2)The human Jesus saw God as being holy, just, and great, as well as being true, beautiful, and good. All these attributes of divinity he focused in his mind as the "will of the Father in heaven." Jesus' God was at one and the same time "The Holy One of Israel" and "The living and loving Father in heaven." The concept of God as a Father was not original with Jesus, but he exalted and elevated the idea into a sublime experience by achieving a new revelation of God and by proclaiming that every mortal creature is a child of this Father of love, a son of God.

196:0.3 (2087.3)Jesus did not cling to faith in God as would a struggling soul at war with the universe and at death grips with a hostile and sinful world; he did not resort to faith merely as a consolation in the midst of difficulties or as a comfort in threatened despair; faith was not just an illusory compensation for the unpleasant realities and the sorrows of living. In the very face of all the natural difficulties and the temporal contradictions of mortal existence, he experienced the tranquillity of supreme and unquestioned trust in God and felt the tremendous thrill of living, by faith, in the very presence of the heavenly Father. And this triumphant faith was a living experience of actual spirit attainment. Jesus' great contribution to the values of human experience was not that he revealed so many new ideas about the Father in heaven, but rather that he so magnificently and humanly demonstrated a new and higher type of living faith in God. Never on all the worlds of this universe, in the life of any one mortal, did God ever become such a living reality as in the human experience of Jesus of Nazareth.

Here, it isn't as much of what Jesus spoke but how he lived. Here I understand Faith is not just a belief in great miracles, or drawn upon in times of despair. It is constant. It is living. That God is all-ways present. And more so, that Love is one of the greatest forces in this world. And it is Love that is guiding us. I especially love how the text exemplifies the idea that "living in the presence of god" is a sublime reality, full of thrills, joy and wonder. My own experiences affirm this notion.

I think the great truth is we are always in communion with God/Love. We wish to cultivate mindfulness, to be 'more' present. It tells me we do not always realize the constant communion with our Beloved. But, as we seek to harmonize our own Being- we may place greater Faith in this relationship with God.

Faith for me is God as Love, living and guiding all souls. Here and now.

And if it needs to be said, it is a personal relationship. Unique between you and God. For me, this life really is marrying the spiritual with the material. Heaven and Ego. This has been a desire of mine, even since a child. That declaration is here now- and heaven on earth can be attained. And we don't do it alone. (My humble opinion)

Last night I was watching a couple videos by Yogiraj Gurunath. As I explore the astral realms, the subconscious field and consciousness in general- I discover particular "forces" as "governing" realities- seen and unseen. Known and unknown. And I see through out the ages- intelligent life(no matter where, not just humans), in their exploration of consciousness, have come to elaborate on their own experiences and understanding of these governing forces. Initially I thought there was no hierarchy but I no longer believe that to be the case.

For simplicities sake- we can reference our own physical body. Are there not functions that perform their own duties within our physical body? Are there not commands that must be obeyed by a greater force in our own body? Individual components that allow a greater synthesis of Being? And now, what about the immaterial realities beyond our physical vehicle?

Anyways... Here is the one video by Gurunath-
https://youtu.be/xCXt5IeiFjM?si=h2PCnKRtrX8-H_QA
Description: Yogiraj Siddhanath expounds upon the secret mysteries of the spiritual hierarchy of the Inner Government of the World. This gives a glimpse into the roles of these Mighty Beings as they guide the evolution of Humanity. Yogiraj writes about this topic in more detail in his book Babaji The Lightning Standing Still.

Yogiraj also shows the comparison of the three dragon slayers on the terrestrial, celestial, and divine levels and the correlations across various religions and traditions. The dragon slayers are the destroyers of the ego at the various levels. Refer to the previous YouTube Video "The Guiding Hand of the Master, Slaying the Dragon of The Ego" to learn more.


-----

As I was watching, I suddenly saw parallels to the Urantia Book(something I have only dabbled in briefly). If I ever expound on the Urantia Book or historical philosophy I do so as a student, just a curious mind exploring the depths of knowledge presented. At times, I may inaccurately portray the Ubook or other historical references when justifying my own biases and beliefs. And so, learning is a process where perspectives might change. To be certain I was feeling there to be some correlation- I asked AI to quickly compile the parallels between the two... The Hindu understanding of Spiritual Hierarchy and the Urantia Book cosmology.

Pretty cool!!

Here's what was presented:

The spiritual government described by Yogiraj closely parallels the cosmic administration of The Urantia Book. Both depict a universe governed by a hierarchy of spiritual beings, each with defined responsibilities, working for the upliftment of humanity and the cosmos. The motif of the "dragon slayer"—the conqueror of ego and chaos—appears in both, symbolizing the victory of higher consciousness over lower nature at every level of existence.

In summary, both traditions present a multi-tiered spiritual administration, where advanced beings oversee, guide, and protect the evolutionary journey of souls, with the ultimate aim of union with the Divine or realization of cosmic citizenship.

Check out the table for a side by side comparison if you're interested enough!

As Adrian says, customer service is a lottery, you never know who's going to walk in! It's part of the job. I'm not dissatisfied with my work, but it has its challenges, four receptionists quit in one month LOL. And I was wondering why. But my bosses have defended me, given me coffee and chocolates, and every day people compliment me on my kindness and treatment, my mind is at peace, and I feel good.

Well it might be helpful to think of every person walking through the door of the hotel as having been sent by the Universe, God, as an opportunity for you to progress Spiritually, in accordance with  your own perception, thoughts, feelings and actions. Therefore, I would suggest welcoming each each stranger equally, which I am sure you do already, with Love and Gratitude to God for sending them to you, no matter how they outwardly behave - they are still expressions of God. And yes, observe as a movie without engaging, but always with Love.

It seems to me that you are exactly where you need to be in this moment. The fact you are still working there and appreciated, while others simply leave, really says it all. Embrace the entirety of the experience

One for All, and All for One. Existence is simple. The One is the All, and the All is the One.
The theory of everything E=E

Yes - a profound truth about which little more can or needs to be said, except to remind that We ARE that All, and the All is Us.
