Thought is the door that links you and the invisible. The spiritual world influences us more than we imagine.
There are about 3 to 4 disincarnate spirits for every incarnate. This was said some time ago when Earth's population (the number of incarnates) was about 6 billion. Therefore, the number of spirits, in total, would be between 24 and 30 billion individuals.
This gives us an idea of how important Jesus's proposal is when he advises us to "watch and pray". Thankfully, God is so merciful that he created universal laws to benefit all of us and to guarantee order and progress.
It is up to each one of us to be disciplined and to follow his laws and practise his teachings in order to progress, and if we want to succeed, we must do everything with goodwill.
It takes a lot of goodwill to follow his laws and to put his teachings into practice because, in order to evolve, you will have to dedicate time to studying and practising over and over and over again.
Remember that success is trainable.
If there is one thing that we can claim we have control over, it is our thoughts. You can think about good things or bad things. When you think, you create waves and vibrations that are either good or bad depending on your thoughts, right? You will always connect with other beings who are experiencing similar thoughts. If your thoughts are the communication channel with the invisible, you should be aware and mindful. To Whom are you opening the communication channel? Remember that you are the one responsible for tuning in "radio".
It is critical to emphasise that we, both incarnate and disincarnate, contribute to the vibrations and energy of the Earth and the universe (“In my father’s house are many mansions”). The Earth is a live organism and, like ourselves, it needs to evolve. How are you contributing to Earth’s progress?
We can’t deny that the atmosphere on Earth is quite heavy lately. There is a lot going on at the moment, but we don’t need to worry about it. "Jesus is at the helm". Nothing happens for no reason. Supreme intelligence never fails.
However, you are a divine creature and entirely responsible for your evolution and, consequently, Earth’s progress. So you can decide how you will contribute to a better you, a better atmosphere, and a better world by simply "watching and praying". You should give it a try. Even if only for today and possibly tomorrow, you tell yourself, "I'll try it today and then repeat."
If you want to understand the complex and magnificent spiritual world, I highly recommend you study the books of André Luiz. There are 13 volumes, but for now, just watch and pray.
