Thought Bubble - Have You Prepared for Your Future Lives?

If you have learned and understand that past lives exist, then it is only logical that you will live again in new lives in the future. The question is, have you done anything to prepare for any of them?

Most people spend this one brief life that they currently have trying to fulfill all of their desires in a vain attempt for perfection. It will never happen because they are trying to get everything outside of themselves perfect in order to finally be satisfied. It is impossible to get everything in life perfect. No one has a perfect life, so just about everyone is wasting their time and efforts to get rich, or famous or whatever it is they think they need to finally be happy. They are blind to reality and are ignorant of the truth.

This is only one life out of countless numbers of lives we have had and we will experience. Throughout most of our lives, we have spent our time trying for this outer perfection that cannot be achieved. We only focus on the life we are currently living, not giving much thought to any lives we will have in the future. This leaves us blowing in the wind of chance. If we do nothing to prepare for those future lives, we will be at the mercy of the karma we created for ourselves having no idea what will be in store for us.

We would be wise to spend this one brief life, preparing for all our future lives as much as possible, so they can be better than what we have experienced in this lifetime. We need to do all we can to provide for those countless lives waiting before us. We need to engage in positive actions in this life to create good karma to ripen for us in the future. We need to minimize the negative things we do, to prevent having bad karma fall upon us. We need to meditate properly on virtue to implant these ways of being on our mind, so they will become our natural way of being in those lifetimes to come. We need to dedicate our virtuous actions. We need to purify all the negative actions we have done in this life and all of our past lives that we aren't even aware of so we can lessen our suffering.

Doing these things prepares a better future for us. We will still be blowing in the wind of chance, but it will be a much more gentle wind for us. The ultimate achievement we can work towards in this life and every life, is to gain as much spiritual progress as you possibly can towards gaining control over your future rebirths. Why risk leaving it up to your storage of karma? Why not remove yourself from the cycle of uncontrolled rebirth?

Live the Good Way © What Exactly is Karma?

If you have been listening to my podcasts, you will have heard me talk about karma and that I plan to do a series of podcasts on the topic. Well, this is the beginning of that series. The topic of karma is a large one. Many people know of a simplified version of it, but it is much vaster and deeper than you may know. In this podcast, we'll look at the basics. The definition of karma is action. Karma means action. Any action you perform is karma. Any and every action you perform is karma. When you perform a positive action that is positive karma and when doing negative things that is negative karma. We have all done both positive and negative actions. All of us. In my last podcast, I talked about past lives which are vital to this topic of karma. We all have what I like to refer to as a storage locker of karma that we have always had. Every action you have ever performed in all the lifetimes you have ever lived has been put into that storage unit. Since most of us do not r...

Live the Good Way © Episode 3 The Human Divide

 More than one prophecy has been made about the division of human beings. A split seems inevitable. Some humans will seek the truth and want to invest in their spirituality, by becoming the best version of themselves that they can be. Others however, do not have this capacity and will stay in the backwards society they have developed and their lives will become far worse over time. Right now you have to choose which direction you want to go. Most people will stay behind living backwards lives, some of them not ever realizing there is a different way available to them. If you don't know what I mean by living backwards, please listen to my previous podcast “Society is Backwards” to find out what I am talking about. This divide or split is mentioned in the Bible, it is also in the Buddhist teaching of Shambala and in some Native American prophecies. There may be others that I am not aware of. In the Christian and Buddhist teachings, it tells how a small number of people will ...

Live The Good Way © Love

  You most likely won't find the spiritual definition of love in the dictionary. Love is the wish for other to be happy. Anytime you wish for someone to be happy you are loving them. It would be a beautiful world to live in if everyone could develop this wish for everyone else. It would be incredible if we could hold onto this wish in our hearts all the time for everyone. We would all be a lot happier. Sadly, most people only have that wish for themselves. They want to be happy all the time and don't care if anyone else is happy, especially someone they hate or anyone that is a stranger. They could care less about those people or animals or insects. They get into a relationship thinking this other person will make them happy, will give them the love they want. Once again, many people have got this all completely backwards. They want to be loved, to be given love to make themselves happy. It is by giving love to others that we find happiness and contentment within. There a...
