A Deadly Influence, BlackBirch 3, Canva, Deep Mind, Discord, Dreams, Eckankar, MS Excel, The Matrix

Deep Mind is turning out to be really good. The story this time around involves an AI called Konstantin. I won’t spoil the story in case you want to read it, but boy, it is getting exciting. Blackbirch 3 involves the same characters from 1 and 2 and has our group searching for a box that will allow the characters to resolve a problem. A Deadly Influence still has our characters searching for an abducted little boy. Some clues have led to a local cult, but no one is talking there. ECKANKAR: Key to dreams is a book that explains how our dreams have many purposes, one of which is helping us learn to live a better life.

On the learning front, I am closing in on the end of the Canva and Discord courses, still plugging away at MS Excel, and starting to look at next courses. I’m thinking I am going to get another of the Officenewb’s courses on MS Word. His courses are terrific.

My sister and I watched The Matrix Resurrections. Wow! It was a great 4th movie. Many online have rated the movie poorly, but I really liked it because it closed the loop on so many things from the initial trilogy. The characters were great.

I hope you have a great Thursday, folks!

Until next time…

All of us experience stress from time-to-time. We experience stress on the job, in relationships, even with money. When we get sick we experience stress. When we watch the news we experience stress. When we commute to work we experience stress. Where do we go to get relief?

Some rely on pharmaceuticals. Others rely on mental health professionals. Still others rely on a friend or family member. There is also another avenue we can take. We can seek a spiritual solution to our stress. In this free e-booklet, provided by ECKANKAR, you can read about some of the techniques you can use today to relieve some of the stressors we all experience.

Daily Ramblings – Spiritual Sunday – Karma & Reincarnation

ECKANKAR: The Path of Spiritual Freedom released some free e-books for public consumption. I wanted to let you know, in case any of you would be interested in reading them. Each week I’ll post one of the links to these books here, so it will save you some time trying to find them on the website or a Google search.

Here’s a link to the main ECKANKAR website: https://www.eckankar.org/

Here’s the link for anyone interested: chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.eckankar.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Karma-Reincarnation.pdf

Many things happen in our lives that have no explanation. The question: “Why do bad things happen to good people?” comes to mind. Part of the problem is that we are only thinking one-dimensionally. Imagine living millions of lives, but failing to remember them in this life. How many times have you been hurt? How many times have you hurt others?

ECKANKAR proposes that this reality we live in was designed by God as Soul’s classroom. Soul (You) is here to learn, mature spiritually, so it can one day return home. Karma and Reincarnation answers a lot of these questions and also provides you with a way to find out for yourself about your Karma, your past lives, and why your life today is the way it is.

Well, that’s it for today.

Have a great Sunday, folks!

Until next time…

Daily Ramblings – Spiritual Saturday – The Law of HU

Tags

Contemplation, creation, Divine Spirit, Eckankar, God, Light and Sound, Meditation, reality, The ECK

HU is an ancient name of God. In ECKANKAR, we use it during our contemplations, among other charged words. You can chant HU, regardless of your religion. It is an uplifting mantra that gives peace and calm, particularly when life is giving you a rough time. Below is a link for you to listen to if you wish.

HU—The Sound of Soul

The Law of HU declares that the ECK or divine spirit, or what we call the Light and Sound of God, are the formers of this and many other universes. It is this divine spirit that gives life to the matter in this reality.

I hope all of you have a terrific Saturday.

May the blessings be.

Dave
