God / creator creates with true passion - Attributes of God

Strongest essence of God's nature and attributes are mentioned in the Moolmantra by Guru Nanak.

Ek Omkar - God is one. God here stands for the Source, the essence of all creation.

Satnam -  God is truth. Does this mean that the existence of God/ one source of all creation is an absolute truth?

Karta-Purakh - God is the being that does all actions, the creator.

Nirbhao - God is not afraid of anyone.

Nirvair - God has no animosity.

I believe that passion is the source that motivates all new creation and without passion (out of love or hate) nothing can be created.

God is the source of all creation. A creator creates when he/ she is truly passionate about something. That's when inspiration and intuition come in. What are you truly passionate about? What are you creating in this world each day at home, at work and in your mind? War or peace?

 Meeting God gives immense peace and joy.

If God is passion / the source of all creation, then the only condition to find true happiness or bliss is to have a passion that is not derived from fear or hatred.

Akal - Purakh - God is timeless.

Ajuni - God does not come in life form and therefore does not take birth or dies.

Saibhang - God is continuous.

Gurprasad - God is experienced with the guidance of a spiritual master.

Jap - recite /  chant

Aad Sach - God was true in the beginning.

Jugaad sach - God will be true in the time to come.

Hai bhi Sach - God is true now

Nanak hosi bhi Sach - Nanak says that God will be true forever.

If 'I am God' then I must have all these qualities. since there is only one God and nothing else, then I am God and I am the creator who has no fear and no animosity towards anyone. Within my body resides the real me that is timeless, that was there in the beginning, is now and will always be in the future. Therefore, the real me does not die ever.

Paranormal beliefs

It's nearly six months since we started meeting fortnightly under the banner of 'Paranormal Book Club'. Off course, the name attracts attention but it needs clarification as 'normal' people might believe its a lunatics club but I wasn't going to name it esoteric or spiritual club for the fear of attracting people who are too engrained in their own religion and might use it as a platform to promote their religion and it's beliefs.

The purpose of such a group was to have a support system that would help me stay motivated and on the spiritual path, learn something from others, give out info and feel comfortable for believing in phenominas not widely practiced by 'normal' people.

The  benefits of meeting include the fact that when I verbalise any belief in discussion, I also get to question myself why I believe in it. At the same time, I look forward to any issues raised in relation to my belief, not that group members question each other's beliefs for the sake of doing so; but may do so for  understanding and personal growth.

Richard Grant pushes everyone to the limits when he states his belief  that there is nothing out there. It's all inside us. Whatever we believe gets manifested. He beliefs it to the extent that he says that he killed his son with his belief. His son would not have died, if he didn't believe in it. In fact, there was nothing out there in the first place.

I am starting to understand the logic behind his belief and have seriously reconsidered my own beliefs about my husbands lifespan. My husband use to say since I married him that he would die at around 50+. Although, I had always asked him to not verbalise it as verbalising something gives it more power; I somehow feared it and tried to visualise how I would live my life without a husband.

I didn't understand the full power of my beliefs and visualisations until after I fell pregnant the last time. I wasn't asking for a child but I had prayed to never have less than three children alive while I live; for I fear that my child with Down syndrome might have a shorter life span. In answer to my prayer, I fell pregnant. Obviously, I didn't seriously think through all the scenarios and consequences of my prayer. I need to be more careful about what I say in prayer and how to mean exactly what I say. My prayer has been answered but the real purpose that was to extend the lifespan of this child past my normal age has not been fulfilled.

Now I have learnt this lesson and instead of praying that my husband organises my funeral, I pray that I grow older alongside my husband into my 80s. I know I will live till the age 84 and might die in May. These days I get this intuition that my husband will die at age 90. This is so spooky as he is 6 years older than me. Off course there is no guarantee and as life goes on, circumstances change and so do feelings and beliefs, but I am presently happy with the lesson I have learnt and with my ability to pray carefully and precisely.
