Maybe I am being a little unfair and whoever heeds these words and has already understood what I am saying, then I congratulate you for your wisdom.
All that I have said is far from the truth of the reality because most of this has to do with you. You cannot expect to enter into the higher realms of consciousness as an individual identity.
The Spiritual Man, which over-shadows you, knows this and waits for you to extend yourself to others, it waits for you to do something worthwhile.
Instantly that statement will stimulate in your mind: you have to be famous and influence many people.
Not so. One small gesture of kindness is all it takes, so every time this occurs, something happens to you, you are becoming a part of the One Life,

Ponder upon that because the causes lie within the subjective and the effects are seen playing out in the world, whether within your life or humanity as a whole. The unrest you see now is the result of what has occurred subjectively, you see, thought forms are built around conscious unrest which then feeds the astral aura and results in action and reaction. So, be aware of your own unrest and dissatisfaction, you become dissatisfied with what you have or have not, but you are the one who is responsible for your condition, and so are the many that create a thought form upon the mental plane, and so with any entity of thought substance that is fed and is contained with desire, so will it precipitate upon the physical plane.
It is well to look for causes, dissatisfaction is a cause.
Humanity always wants more. Are you in this position of wanting more? Not enough money, too much stress? Are you not loved? And it’s the last statement you need to think seriously about, where there is a lack of love, there is dissatisfaction and mainly your life brothers, lacks love because you are all too busy to love.
What does this mean? It means you take more notice of

Another inspiring women abolitionist in the 18th century, Jarena Lee, produced The Life and Religious Experiences of Jarena Lee, which is a women’s spiritual autobiography. Lee believed God called her to preach, despite the impropriety of women preachers due to the time period. Lee experienced hostility and prejudice as she traveled and spread the word of the Gospel, but continued to fight for her devotion to faith with the intention of fulfilling her calling from God. In The Life and Religious Experiences of Jarena Lee, Lee formats her text as a sermon and associated her qualifications with her production of a religious service in order to convince her audience of her abilities. Also, Lee associates herself with male ministers because of shared characteristics and experiences.
A synthesis essay should be organized so that others can understand the sources and evaluate your comprehension of them and their presentation of specific data, themes, etc.
In a world where billionaires and celebrities can have more influence over the public than government, the word power has become interchangeable with success. Although many of us have fantasized of our lives if we were famous, the majority of the population have given up on the notion of becoming famous, and have become more realistic towards future dreams and desires. However, what qualities drive people of fame to do things that keep their name out in the eye of the public? People desire power. Genuine power is the ability to influence.
In Democracy and Education, John Dewey, described as the father of experience-derived education, gave his opinion of how democracy and education should interact in order to create a sound democratic society. He wrote of how a democracy cannot flourish if education is tuned for the masses or if only a select few can get higher education. He also discussed how the “three R’s” (reading, writing, and arithmetic) are faulty, and how the curriculum must help students develop the ability to tackle social issues in the “real world.” However, high schools today are not preparing citizens to achieve Dewey’s vision; rather, they are moving farther away from it.
College, a gateway for expanding the horizons within our youth has many conflicting ideas due to it's cost, suggesting that it may not even be worth it. Yet thinking about having this privilege of exposing our minds to anything and everything we desire while providing ourselves with far more opportunity in the future makes every late night double shift, staying up until 3 am, living off ramen noodles well worth it.
Despite the world being full of diverse people with varying accomplishments and skill sets, people oftentimes assume the qualities and traits of an individual based purely on the stereotypes set forth by society. Although these stereotypes are unavoidable, an individual can be liberated, empowered and ultimately overcome these stereotypes by obtaining an advanced education.
When the desire for more sets in, I am usually able to cope with what I have. I find that when greed begins to affect people, they lose themselves in the joy and power that comes with it and allow themselves to commit horrendous acts to achieve this power. This usually then leads to consequences that do not seem to be worth the trouble. I believe that greed is something that poisons our minds and leads us to believe that spoils are worth the trouble that follows, but this is hardly ever the case.
All fame begins when you do something noticeable. For example, actors and actresses build upon their careers and reputations by achieving excellence in their personal goals, as well as perfecting their public performance.
Television has affected every aspect of life in society, radically changing the way individuals live and interact with the world. However, change is not always for the better, especially the influence of television on political campaigns towards presidency. Since the 1960s, presidential elections in the United States were greatly impacted by television, yet the impact has not been positive. Television allowed the public to have more access to information and gained reassurance to which candidate they chose to vote for. However, the media failed to recognize the importance of elections. Candidates became image based rather than issue based using a “celebrity system” to concern the public with subjects regarding debates (Hart and Trice). Due to “hyperfamiliarity” television turned numerous people away from being interested in debates between candidates (Hart and Trice). Although television had the ability to reach a greater number of people than it did before the Nixon/Kennedy debate, it shortened the attention span of the public, which made the overall process of elections unfair, due to the emphasis on image rather than issue.
One person cannot tackle the vast amount of issues of today and change the world. With so many injustices that occur in today’s society we can’t help but feel overwhelmed as to what people, as citizens of the world, can do to make the world an exceptional environment. Many believe the task is either too large and intimidating to face head on, or they don’t want to face the possibility of failure and criticism. We have the idea of taking on enormous tasks and expect change almost immediately, however, it’s not the anticipated outcome. Real change starts when one contributes to their community; the smallest of impacts generate the biggest changes in the long run.
Spiritual formation is a process that morphs as we grow and change. There is no one singular correct path this type of journey takes because each journey is as individual as the person who is experiencing it. Most obvious, the journey will be different from those who identify as religious and those who do not and will diversify with in each category. For example, the spiritual journey a Buddhist takes will be different from that of a believer in Judaism or Christianity. In fact, the journey will continue to diversify between Christians, male and female, age groups, even by demographic location. Consequently, the spiritual formation process is as diverse as it is intricate and we may never be able to discover all the journey options. Although individuals may not actively recognize they are experiencing spiritual formation it is a process that affects all. Because it is in human nature to question, learn, grow, and act, everyone to a certain extent is exposed to a unique spiritual formation journey.
Throughout the course of history there will is always something that the human body needs and desires, and that is more. In any person, whether it be apparent to other people around them or hidden deep within them, there will always be a feeling of desire and restless to have more, it could be more resources or more land or more happiness. Well this is not always a bad natural instinct, because it leads for people to have motivation and that leads to great feats and achievements being done. In the 15th century in Europe this turned out to be very beneficial, when the Italian explorer, Christopher Columbus had a dream of exploring new lands and discovering new trade routes. What he discovered was never before seen by the European world and
I am sure all of us know that much of our spiritual vitality comes from our personal
