No 54 of Living Life Series 1
"Heaven opens the ways for us but we need to choose and walk the one way of our choice."
Often, we forget that our mortal capabilities are finite and are watered down versions of our potiential due to duress during crisis and lack of spiritual cultivation of inner peace.
On our own, we may not be able to significantly modulate fate and overcome crisis. True, we need to help ourselves before Heaven can help us or before Heaven's help or blessings can be effective.
Divinity will help but issue is whether we are so engrossed with and burried under our life and issues that we become blind or not receptive to the divine helping hand.
We must nurture the Divinity in us and let it grow. We must seek divine providence to open more ways for us to move on when beset with life obstacles that seem daunting.
Heaven will provide us with saints to open ways out for us. But we do need to be aware of this divine grace but often we fail to do so.
We need to gather the pieces of our shattered life to be one whole and move on. We need to live our own life and make the choice of which way to tread on.
The worst is to ignore all the life events which show to us the possible ways open up and set out for us by Divinity.
We need to make the choice and tread the way we choose. We cannot resign our inner core to indecision and wallow in misery and let all hell break loose.
We need to pick our self up when we fall and move on to live our own life. Only by doing so can our big issues become small issues with the blessings of Heaven.
Heaven can usually open more ways for us. We must thank Heaven that we are given choices. Otherwise, we will be more like puppets and not have free will.

The Living Life Series is dedicated to Lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨). The doctrine is in His image. The image is the doctrine. He who sees, understands and effects the doctrine sees and knows Him. He who does not see, know and effect the doctrine sees not and knows not the saint even if the saint or His image is beside him. The far may be near and the near may be far. Let the doctrine and the saint be part of our life. The lord saint in your life can be any heavenly saint of any religion, sect or school. The doctrine of truth is behind all and this is the Inner Truth that leads all (regardless of their religious affiliation or even if none) to inner peace and heaven on earth here and now and not just in the after life. The ideal worship and devotion is to know and effect the doctrine of God and the saints. The best gospel is the gospel of life. We learn from our life and the lives of others. The true temple is the world we live in. The sky is the roof of the temple and religions and sects are the pillars of the temple. All under Heaven are in the temple. Needless to say that all the saints we know are in this temple. Ji Gong Posat too is no exception. The whole wide world and web is the temple and must be regarded as a sacred place --- a temple for living and learning. It is more important that everyone that counts plays a role in this universal temple if due focus is to be given to the Mission of Heaven. Men must not be distracted by the agenda of men and end up serving the mission of man. That would be a far cry from the Mission of Heaven. We worship God and saints, not man however good that man may be. There should be no hero worshiping or idolizing of man whether he is a charismatic pastor, priest, monk, medium or lay leader. We don't even idol worship the image of any saint but reflect on what the image stands for. - the doctrine in the image. Omitofo 阿弥陀佛!.
