A new book from Ron Actis that shows the spiritual characteristics of a person’s world view in relation to God’s word will be introduced to the public; whether Christians or Non-Christians.

Aptly titled “Spiritual DNA: What Jesus Said,” is about the unforgettable experience of Helen Schucman, an atheist, and a professor of medical psychology at Columbia University when she started receiving daily messages in 1965 from an inner voice which she later concluded as Jesus’. She wrote everything she heard and was able to fill almost 30 notebooks.

Helen turned over her writings to a foundation which handled and managed its use until April 27, 2004 when judge Robert Sweet has decided to release the text to the public.

“I condensed the 1200 pages of printed words of Schucman’s A Course in Miracles to 360 pages, (TBD) extracting the core concepts and identifying the DNA, to make it easier to read and understand. However, the words, sentences and passages in the text are those of Jesus. I also composed a prayer which captures the essence of the narrative to serve as a daily reminder of what Jesus professed, ” Actis said. He added that the concepts are so profound that he is convinced that no person on earth could have made them up.

Actis said this is the first time that men received what Jesus wants us to be.

“…their authenticity has never been disputed. It boggles my mind when I think of the significance of His message. His words deepen the understanding of the teachings of the parables in the Bible and extend their concepts…” Actis testified.

The author concluded that maybe this is Jesus’ way of getting the people’s attention; to be vigilant to join Him in the second coming.

According to Actis, he identified the key steps to peace of mind and happiness:

• Live in the present – the moment – and the future will take care of itself. Keep negative memories of the past and negative thoughts out of your mind.

• See others as perfect and overlook their faults. See Jesus and yourself in all of them, and be kind and helpful to them.

• When you sense a negative emotion or thought coming on, immediately think, “What would Jesus think?” Overlook what caused it, let it go and proceed to live in the moment.

• Seek guidance from the Holy Spirit in you, in how to think and behave as God created you.

Life is a giftDuring my quiet time, I always come to think of a very grateful chance in my life – living and experiencing life on earth and not to treat the world as my permanent habitat.

I’m quite sure that majority of people are not yet contented in their own self. This is evident on the daily news in radio and T.V. which includes stories of suicide, celebrities’ annulment, etc. It only proves that many are still imprisoned in the suffocating world of melancholy.

“What is life’s worth on earth?” This question always surfaces whenever I try to look for happiness. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find the answer.

If I were to talk to God personaly, I will ask him that question. Befere, when I am alone, I always whisper that question to myself and hopes that He [God] will respond. In relation to this this, I remembered the story of Teri Flanagan of Fort Worth:

It was in 1995 when she went through a devastating period of solitude in her life: she had a divorce and her children left her and moved to a far place to study.

Teri did nothing everyday except to wait for the sun to set. During each day, she mopped around and felt sorry for herself; letting the days slip by in a haze of unhappiness.

It was until one afternoon, she went outside from the back door and walked straight into the yard when she suddenly heard a man’s shouting “Life is a gift!”

The words sounded so mysterious to her because no one was there except herself. She tried to think that it was just a crazy thought and will eventually pass away in the morning. But it is different. On her work the following day, a colleague showed her a calendar with the “thought for the day.” The calendar reads: “The secret of contentment is the realization that life is a gift, not a right.”

It was so weird, encountering the same thing she heard yesterday. Is it a coincidence? Maybe, yes. But it surely changed her life completely. She treated life as a gift and accepted her fate that way; that she is alone and shall live with herself.

Currently, she’s living her life to the fullest. She is now contented and happy with her life.

I believe that she experienced divine intervention from God. Sometimes – and most likely unexpected – God reaches out and interferes us through some person, material or even a weird situation. Undergoing difficulties and uncertainty is common – for it is life. Thrills in life creates challenges for us that makes us a lilttle less complete. Let His powerful hands manifest in you and rule your whole life.

Now, my question is answered.
