Spiritual Teaching is
keenly interested in combining science
with a spiritual focus. Many churches and
spiritual centers are not very interested
in trying to combine science and
religion. |
Dr. Royal is not against
any of them, but he is for the expressiveness of
life that includes science, religion, philosophy,
and psychology. He especially sees that
science can be used to deepen the spiritual life.
For those of you who read
this and wonder why many people question that
science and religion can both be accepted and
used to grow our selves spiritually, a wonderful
experience of life lies in front of you. It
simply means that the interest to expend your
selves through living by the principles of
spirituality will work very similarly to the
principles of the physical sciences.
The procedures are much like
the physical scientists use. A hypothesis
is first formed of something you desire that is
of a spiritual nature. For instance, anyone
can heal a relationship if that is a strong
interest. The ability to do this requires
one to believe that the same creator that caused
the universe to be manifested physically has
provided every human being with a Spirit like It
has. Being made in the image of God,
means that even as the creator thought of suns,
planets, minerals, water, air, atmospheres, It
(She, He or It) thought of plants, creatures, and
people; the people, you and I, can live lives
that are in harmony even as unspoiled natural
forests and seas maintain a symbiotic
association.
The creator is best conceived
as being Intelligence without being a
personality. The Supreme Intelligence loves
the idea of providing all of us with a capacity
to think like It does. The image then is
that we are mini-copies of the Great
Thinker. The scientific medium for our high
spirituality is to use thought with the belief
that our thinking is an agent for expressing
greater good in our lives.
But how does this explanation
account for the possibility that we can think so
as to be creative like It? It is because
every time we think we use Its Mind. Before
I explain that, let us go back to the procedures
of scientists who discover or cause inventions
and other significant benefits to occur.
We have all marveled at how
it was that a great man like Jesus was able to
heal people and give them the awareness that life
is abundantly beautiful. Jesus could do
this because he was a great scientist. That
is, when people came to him with their problems,
he hypothesized the idea that they could be freed
from them. He believed that God was within
his thoughts or beliefs. He was careful to
disallow any contrary ideas to intrude upon this
confidence. He also believed that the
Supreme Intelligence desired that people step out
of their troubles. But he did not think
that God would do this for them, but rather
through them as both the people and himself
conceived and believed in that support.
This was and is because we have been made to be
free, and we have mistakenly used our creative
thoughts to make ourselves have
difficulties. He knew better and he shared
his wisdom with others who came to him.
Consider now that One Mind
not only exists but that It is everywhere and It
is God. Focus upon some good use of what
that Mind will do through you and as you.
If it is the healing of a relationship, then
start experimenting with love, kindness, care,
and the firm willingness to neither control
another nor to be controlled. As you
experiment with this, draw some conclusions about
how life is meant to be. Choose to believe
that we were crafted to live together
amicably. Practice the idea of it, but know
that you cannot do this without allowing the
Greater Intelligence and Unconditional Love to
move through you and act as you. Know that
a pattern is being formed from your thoughts,
which is set upon a new direction for your
good. Disallow any lesser thoughts to
interfere with the empowerment.
As you work with this, your
life will change for the better in ways far
beyond whatever you have previously imagined for
your happiness. If you need further
assistance to practice this like a scientist,
along with emptying out all conditions that could
spoil the brew, let Dr. Royal know.
This is the basis of his teaching.
The bottom line is that a
scientist is interested in knowing something
which can be experienced in some beneficial
way. Through a hypothesis of an idea for
good, working with principles already proven
reliable and valid, through experimenting with
procedures that could produce it, and expecting
to demonstrate positive results, the desired
solution is discovered, which means that he or
she works toward knowing some previous unknown
that is of interest. A really able
scientist will not include anything in the
experiment that could make either the composition
or activity impure. You can accomplish all
of this too, for your own well-being or for that
of a friend who is open to alternative
solutions. The gain can be something of
significance.
It is Dr. Royals
interest to teach people how nearly anything you
can believe can be demonstrated in your
life. Saying that nearly anything can be
accomplished may seem to leave some questions as
to whether your particular desires can be
manifested. The only exceptions to what is
possible for you have to do with the laws of the
universe. You can never cause them to
change, but you can use them to demonstrate
anything that is consistent with their nature.
Dr. Royal teaches effective
formulae which prove that there are spiritual
principles which can resolve any concerns.
Using these principles, and drawing upon the
unlimited Mind which is Supremely Intelligent,
any great cause can produce the desired
effect. Once you know how to use these
principles your life will be freed of all
limitations prohibiting good.
