There is but one cause of human failure.
And that is man's lack of faith in his true Self.
- William James: Was a psychologist and author We are not failures as we so often label ourselves, we fail at things and that is OK, that is part of the learning process.
However, we fail also because we lack faith in our true Self.
William James wrote true Self with a capital "S".
The way I see that is he is referring to our higher Self, our Divine Self, our connection to the Ultimate Source, or God, whatever you want to call your Inspiration (= In Spirit).
So how does that work? What I have learned since studying this material for quite some time now on a daily basis is that we are part of a Deathless Soul as xxx writes.
We are connected to the Universe, to God, we are the flesh expression of God, we experience the desires God chooses to have through us.
Does that make us an object of submission? Nope, but here is my take on this.
We are co-creators with God - we create, constantly, we create and have created anything and everything in our life, good AND bad.
We continue to do so, we cannot but do so, it is our nature, it is being part of the Universe.
However, we are nothing without God, and frankly, God is nothing without us.
God cannot express Him/Herself without us as the physical or flesh extension to execute those desires.
The word desire - de-sire - means "of the Father".
Here is the kicker however, as long as we have not learned to listen very carefully to the instructions God gives us, as long as we do not have full faith in those instructions, we are off track, our life is not working 100%; we are not 100% fulfilled, happy, wealthy, healthy, you name it, we just are limping.
So what does it take? You've got to have full faith in God, in those hunches, those flashes, those urges - all of those you cannot explain why.
Do not even ask why, not for a single second, learn to listen and obey like a child, and your life will start to work much better.
Have full faith - what is full faith? Full faith is faith with gratitude, gratitude for all the good that is coming to you.
Have and express gratitude every single second of the day for the good you choose to have come to you.
By expression gratitude you are expecting it, and expecting it is like reeling in your fishing line after you've thrown it out.
BTW - FAITH is an acronym - Finding Answers In The Heart - whereby the heart is actually your mind, your subconscious mind to be precise, and your subconscious mind is your connection to the Universe, to God.
Think about that for a while! If you lack faith that means you live in fear, they are opposites.
If you lack faith that means you do not trust God's word, God's intentions for you.
Remember, God is your Father, and doesn't a parent want only the very best for you, always? Ponder on that one as well.
