Supernatural, miraculous, anomalous, etc. are words used to explain events of unknown cause. Everything, however, has a reason for being and a discernable cause. If we don’t understand an event, it doesn’t mean it is beyond us. In time, all things we marvel at will be revealed.
If you want to speed up your knowledge of life, learn to Love. Within the energy of Love is the answer to all things, all knowledge. Love is the answer.
“There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer; no disease that enough love will not heal; no door that enough love will not open; no gulf that enough love will not bridge; no wall that enough love will not throw down; no sin that enough love will not redeem…

Forgiveness is closure. It releases past hurts, and anger to make way for a new beginning free of stress. Do not hold anger at anyone or anything. Doing so will only hurt you, while doing no harm whatsoever to the object of your anger. Anger binds you to the cause of your anger, and holds you in the past, reliving the incident over and over. Anger is like battery acid, it eats away at the object holding it. Free yourself from the past now by forgiving. It is wise to forgive quickly, so you can move on to other experiences. There is nothing that can’t be forgiven. It doesn’t matter how unfair or terrible you have been treated, forgiveness is your release, it does not condone or pardon the harm done to you. No one gets away with anything in life. The rule “you will reap whatsoever you sow” is aways in effect. Let God handle it, forgive and get on with your life.
Self forgiveness is as important as forgiving others. You need to forgive yourself for all the mistakes you may have made. There is nothing that can’t be forgiven. Remember God’s love is greater than any mistake you have made or will make. Learn and move on.
A lady wrote me to say her life was ruined by her dentist who molested her while she was being treated. When I asked her to forgive the dentist she became angry at me adding to her pain. She had been suffering for three years trying to “get back” at the dentist who harmed her. Three years she didn’t have to waste, if she could have forgiven. Forgiveness would not have made the hurt any less real, nor would it have condoned the incident. But it would have released her from the hurt, and given her three years of life back.
A most profound forgiveness was shown in Georgetown, PA. by the Amish community. A gunman had killed five of their children while they were attending school before killing himself. The Amish community not only forgave the killings, but dozens of Amish neighbors came out to mourn the gunman at his funeral. Such expression of God’s love is seldom seen. It brought tears to my old eyes in reading about it.

Signs.
To make a sign or leave a signal.
The signs are everywhere: war, famine, the apocalypse, armageddon, the end of the world. The signs are everywhere: peace proposals, food distribution to the poor, Habitat for Humanity, Good Neighbors, Good Will, good people doing good things. Which signs will you notice, the positive or the negative. I agree there are negative things in this world, but I choose to focus on the positive ones, and try to expand them. Talk about them, share them with others, and get involve with them. The more positive things you bring into your life the better off you will be.

here are many elements one can use in order to achieve spiritual growth. I am going to discuss the various elements, and their importance. Spiritual and/or emotional growth is beneficial to everyone. Makes no difference whether you are a spiritual person or not. It is a process of gaining emotional maturity in order to live a better and more fulfilled life in the physical world.
The names of these elements are love, forgiveness, non-judging, integrity, and service. They may be divided into more, or condensed to fewer, but I will discuss them as they are shown.
Love is the most important of all. Learning to love yourself and others is the purpose of life. It makes everything else meaningful. The best way to do this is though affirmations. It makes no difference what your past was, or how much trouble you have experienced. The only place you can live is in the present now. Start with the understanding that you will make mistakes and accept yourself as you are right now. Listen to yourself, what you say, and how it affects others. Was what you said loving, and kind. Think about how you can improve your thoughts, words, and feelings about others. Learn to accept others, mistakes and all. No person living in this world will make the right decision everytime. As you become less critical of others you will become less critical of yourself.
Do affirmations on a regular basis daily. while it may seem boring, it is the best tool anyone has to change old habits and form new ones. It is the process of replacing old thoughts with new positive ones, and it does work over time. There is a section on affirmations on this site, but don’t feel limited by them. You can search the internet for more.
Here below is a good definition of what love really is, it will teach you what real unconditional love is about.
“Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, never haughty or selfish or rude. Love doesn’t demand its own way. It’s not irritable or touchy. It doesn’t hold grudges and will not notice when others do it wrong. It’s never glad about injustice, but rejoices in truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends”. — Saint Paul.
In further writings on spiritual growth I will discuss the other elements one at a time.
