Ten Steps to Self-Fulfillment Step #4

Step 4: Know Your Relation to the Infinite

What is true greatness of spirit? True greatness of Spirit is in fulfillment of the Self. Fulfillment of the Self is never complete until the conscious mind understands its nature (Step 1), its potentials (Step 2), its mission (Step 3)...and the powerful, mystical ingredient known by various names but commonly referred to in many languages as God. The Self must know its Source.

Where will you find God

God is in everyone and everything, filling the comprehension of mankind and going far beyond the limits of comprehension.

The best way to learn what God is, is to learn what you really are.

The Three Basic Principles of Mystical Revelation

The Five Discoveries of Jesus

1. God is imminent.

Without being able to measure it, you can still comprehend the fact of a Superior Intelligence. You can comprehend a Superior Force and a Superior Love. In whatever images or symbols these three absolute principles become understandable and comprehensible to you, you can have a relationship with God.

Establish Your own Attitude

There are three personal attitudes which individuals adopt in conducting their lives.

1. I'm going to do it all myself, without help from anyone,

especially any kind of Infinite Being.

2. I'm going to let God do it all. I'm completely resigned to

making no decisions in my life and will accept whatever

happens to me as God's will.

3. I'm going to accept responsibility for my own decisions,

but will attempt to make them in a spirit of cooperation with

the God Presence in me.

Act with a sense of unity with God.

Act with a sense of togetherness. Harmonize your Self with the Infinite Self.

Part of the mission of incarnation is to develop our own powers of creativity.

We do discover something that replaces our feeling of separateness. It is our sense of unity or oneness with other persons and with the Infinite.

I must live with both God-consciousness and Self-consciousness until they are one and the same. In this way, I satisfy the Supreme Hunger which leads me to my personal relationship with the Infinite.
