This Universal Cosmic Power is the guiding force for unlimited thinking and unlimited realization. The moral structure of UCPFUL include the following requirements: 1. One must show love to all, especially to self 2. One must always forgive, especially self 3. One must always show respect, especially to self 4. One must always be honset, especially to self As the body is your Holy Temple to the Universal Cosmic Power, it is vital you come clean with all of these requirements and make amends, especially with yourself as the Holy Temple. When one lives by these principles, one can easily access the Supreme Force for Cosmic Power. Only through an honest, quiet reflection of one's self can a person see if they are living correctly. It is not for anyone else to judge. However, the person not living correctly or being dishonest with themselves will have a constant struggle and setbacks as well as being a negative influence to others. UCPFUL is not a religion, but a spiritual path to help you live life to your utmost abilities with not only unlimited thinking, but embracing unlimited realization of such thought. One can dream big, but it is useless unless it is manifested into reality. By learning how to connect, one can realize their life's dreams. UCPFUL - A Guide For Correct Living Unlike many self help manuals, to follow the path of UCPFUL in order to lead a more productive life you need a set of guidelines of morality. But unlike many religious paths, these guidelines are limited and trusts your own perfect inner nature to guide you the rest of the way. As you have seen in the introduction, there are only four basic guidelines that must be adhered to in order to seek the UCPFUL path. This section is to clarify what is meant by these guidelines. The morality code is an inner calling everyone has and all major religions and forms of law have embraced these principles. The morality code is broken down as follows: 1. Love 2. Forgiveness 3. Respect 4. Honesty 5. Crimes Against Your Nature Love As the Supreme Force of Cosmic Power is the ultimate vibration of love and light, one must be filled with love and light in order to purposefully connect. Love, spoken of here, has nothing to do with the carnal nature of love in the form of lust, sex or romance. This love is also not of the erroneous notion that love involves self sacrifice or that death and/or murder as the ultimate proof of love and loyalty which is sick in nature. Love is not about control of any other being, but allowing others to be. Love starts from within before it can go without. Love is the most powerful force we humans have to change the course of our lives and our power of creation. Love is not selfish, but open for all who wish to receive. Love cannot be forced upon another unless they are willing to receive it. Love is the ability to not pass judgement on others in order for your soul to move forward. Love is allowing other people to make their own mistakes and trusting their own decisions whether you agree with it or not. Love is a very powerful source in one's life when used correctly. We all have that connection, but few access it. Some may know of the connection, but they are dark souls who are either afraid of the connection or don't know about it. Most people are not of the group of dark souls, but still do not access that connection out of fear or don't know it exists. Those who do not have that connection function on the carnal level of love. For those who simply don't know it exists, they have an easier time accessing the connection once shown the way. All it takes is faith and the sincere wanting to connect. Those who are afraid of it must overcome the fear in order to conncet to it. Some religions have instilled this fear in members in order to control them. Certain religions thrive on such control to maintain power over their people to forward their agendas. They convince members the only path to God is by following their external rules and regulations instead of going within for the answers and the power. They convince members that anyone who says otherwise is under demonic control and must be avoided and to fear such people. The reason they instill this fear into members is they know if they question their authority, they lose power over the members. If their God was so powerful, the so-called threat of free-thinkers should not cause such fear and alarm. These religions thrive only because they give members the notion that God is an external force and it is only through their dictates, rules, and regulations can one be saved from the wrath of God. They may cleverly sneak in the line that all one needs is a belief in God to be saved, however, if you do not adhere to their principles you are not one of them and you need to seek their church out for salvation. It is still works based. It is also a dangerous set up and backwards. One finds the true source of love from within and not from without. When one sets themselves up in the mindset of religious fanatics, love, happiness and all range of emotions and feelings positive or negative are blamed or based upon someone other than themselves. This puts the person out of control of their own lives and one loses their own essence and connection to the Source. This dependence on others, especially for an authority figure, keeps a person second guessing their natural self. By relinquishing control of self to another, one looks to others for authority to live. What one may be convinced is for their own good turns out to one allowing themselves to become another person's pawn. By setting up this authority from an external source and agreeing to live by them, one is saying their inner nature is somehow not to be trusted, evil and less than perfect. It also tells you not to really trust and open up to love others as their inner nature is likewise not to be trusted. This creates a mentality of always looking outside one's self for an answer, for approval, for control, for security and for love. Then it creates a barrier to your illusions of security when others look to someone else who has different answers and it seems like a threat. This sets up divisions among people who do not share the same beliefs and waters down the natural Source of love within. Love becomes conditional which is the opposite of the true nature of love. Everyone has equal access to the Source of love which is within all people. This Source of love is also the Source of all knowledge for living and is created from a Source of perfection. This makes everyone equal. Even those who refuse to connect to it or are afraid to use it are equal to those who do connect. One the surface, to those not familiar with this love, it may seem one should pass judgement on those who choose not to connect or to at least have pity on them. Love has no judgement or pity. You realize everyone has free will and free choice and you love them enough to make their choices and live their lives whether you agree with it or not. Dark souls make this love more of a challenge. UCPFUL is not saying there should be no laws to punish people who break the laws of mankind. As we live in this world, rules must be accompanied by the freedom to live and those who break those rules must be punished accordingly. Those who are in the dark have a harder time to connect. Imagine you have lived in a dark room all your life and someone turns on a very intense, powerful light which penetrates every corner of the room and through your eyelids. That would be quite painful to face. A dark soul has a similar fear of this kind of pain. They are so deeply rooted in fear that they cannot feel love and are afraid of love. They are also afraid of being alone and tend to want to bring others down to their level. However, this is a very empty experience for them. No matter how many people they control, they never really feel powerful or loved or in control and seek more people to control. They will never have enough. These dark souls include tyrants, serial killers, abusers, rapists, terrorists, manipulators, "psychic vampires," and others who seem harmless on the surface such as a family member, friend or a neighbor who seek dark ways to control others into following them or doing what they say in order for them to feel power, control, love or approval. The pattern is habitual as when they do such disrespectful things to others, it never really brings a permanent solution to what they want and they continue to do it for the temporary thrill. For such dark souls, the fear they have in facing something such as the Light of Love is too much to comprehend. It means having to face up for what they have done. It means making amends with those they have wronged. It means being able to finally forgive themselves and to love themselves as well as those they blame that brought them to that dark place in life. Those who are filled with the Light of Love make these dark souls feel very uncomfortable and they will do their best to avoid you, but you will cross paths from time to time. Once you realize that Light of Love, you also realize these dark souls will do as they will and you have to step aside because you cannot save a person who does not want to be saved. If you want to connect to this Source of love, you must be sincere and approach it with faith. You must adhere to the basic principles of morality and want to live by them. Then you must meditate and go within and find that small inner voice until it grows within you. Ask it to open the flood gates of love upon you and allow it to flow without fear or hesitation. Absorb it, soak it up, then let it flow through you and out into the world as if you have been bathed in a big ball of light that is beaming from inside of you and shining all over the world. Once you have that connection, keep that connection. Just as it is easy to find this connection and open it, it is just as easy to close it when you choose to go back to the carnal level. Forgiveness Holding a grudge is like having a noose around your neck. When someone does you wrong you want retribution immediately. You think that in order for you to move on with your life, that person which wronged you must pay for what they did to you. However, the world is filled with dark souls and others with a carnal level of existence. Many people, especially dark souls, do not want to admit to doing wrong to others as they do not want the responsibility for what they did. Moreover, they are not responsible for your feelings as that is something YOU control. What's worse, the pain that comes when the one who hurt you most is yourself. You can be the hardest person to forgive. To admit that you wronged yourself implies you are less than perfect and it is painful to look at. If you can't look at it, you can't forgive it. These feelings of being wronged are painful and real. However, these feelings are under your control. It is quite understandable that one would have harsh feelings when someone does something terrible to them. It puts you into a mode of emotional shock which is quite natural in that moment when the adreniline is pumping through your body, especially when it is a fight or flight type of terror associated with it. Sometimes victims of crimes have been known to completely supress these feelings and it comes back to haunt them in the form of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Othertimes victims will be consumed with anger and hatred that it contanimates every part of their life. In order to remove such feelings, one must learn to forgive. To forgive is not to say you are letting that person who did you wrong off the hook in paying for their mistakes. All it is saying is you no longer consent to give that person such power to make you feel bad. The person who wronged you may never ask for your forgiveness or see the need to ask for it. You are not doing this for them. You are doing this for you. The more one wrongs other people, the deeper they bury their souls in darkness and are really miserable people. You do not want to join them in their own created hells. You are merely forgiving them to release their power over you, thus making you a more powerful person than the one who wronged you. When forgiving a person or yourself, really look at the incident. First look at it from the other person's point of view. Perhaps you did something to another person and they did something to you out of revenge. Just make sure this is not the cause. If it is, be the bigger person and ask that person to forgive you for what you did. If you were honestly the victim of a person who is simply vicious for the sake of being vicious, you must come to terms with how you got into that situation in the first place and be able to forgive yourself for being there, even if it boils down to being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Such people will rarely ever ask for forgiveness, so don't expect it. By forgiving yourself, it frees that part of you that subconsciously believes it was all your fault - because it really wasn't. Next, you must honestly want to be freed from your connection to that feeling. It feels bad to harbor such feelings and prevents you from living your life to the full. Why should you let that person take it away from you? What right do you have to give them such power? They did not earn that power. You are giving them such power by allowing yourself to harbor such resentment. Forgive them and let it go. This is also not a false notion of forgive and forget. Do not forget the actions of those who harm you. Never forget lest you be seduced back under their control. For instance, if you are a victim of an abusive husband, you must forgive them for what they did to you so you can move on with your life. However, you must never forget or you will be tempted to go back to the person who did not ask for nor earned the right to forgiveness who will continue to abuse you again. Those who break the laws of the land must pay for their crimes. It should never be at your expense to harbor feelings of hatred. Let the legal system punish them. You have better things to do with your life. When it comes to your own mistakes, you may find it harder to forgive. Your mistakes may have hurt you and those you love. Honestly look at those mistakes and the ways they hurt others and yourself. Ask yourself if there is something you can do to make amends. If there is, then do it. If not, you must accept it and move on. You can not force a person to forgive you or accept you, especially when you wronged them. Once you have made amends and moved on, you must then forgive yourself. Realize that you have made mistakes and learn from them. Vow to yourself not to go there again and apply what you learned in your life. Tell others of your mistakes that they may learn from them. Then let it go. Respect This one is responsible for most of the problems in the world. Respect comes from within and not from without. What one sees as disrespect from others is often reflective of the disrespect one has for themselves or for others. Respect simply is the principle of do unto others as you would have them do unto you. If you truly respected yourself, you would not allow yourself to be put in harm's way or do things to hurt yourself. You also would not do so to other people or allow them to do it to you. While bad people will do what they may, you still have a greater Source of power which they are not accessing. They will still have to pay for what they did to you and you should respect yourself enough to make sure they are brought to justice. However, criminals are the minor percentage of incidents of lack of respect. This disrespect hits closer to home. Do you respect yourself? If you do, you would cheerish your health and well being. You would eat a well balanced diet, exercise, get proper sleep, maintain a social connection with like minded people, engage in hobbies and activities that give you pleasure. You would make sure you are living a happy and well adjusted life if you really respected yourself. If you were responsible for other people you loved, wouldn't you want to give them the best you had to offer? Why not start by giving it to yourself? It doesn't take a lot of money to take care of yourself and show you the respect you deserve. Unless you truly respect yourself, you will have a hard time respecting others. Respecting others has more to do than not doing harm to them or hurting their property. If you truly respect other people, you will allow them to be who they are, think what they believe, and live the way they choose to live. It also implies you respect them and yourself enough to not allow them to do you harm. If you truly respect another person, you will not let them sink down to lower levels by using you. Refuse to go down to that level. Show them by example that there are better ways to live. If they refuse to accept your refusal, you must respect yourself enough to leave that situation. For example, if you are at a party and a friend of yours talked you into doing harmful drugs, you should respect yourself enough to pass. Your friend may want to drag you down to that level of disrespect and egg you on, taunt you, or dare you into trying it. You may still refuse if you truly respect yourself and your friend. If you stand firm, your friend may start to examine their own path and want to change or may dump you as a friend. If you waver and allow this form of disrespect to yourself, you set yourself up for further trouble, lose self respect and respect of your friend. In short, don't do anything to harm yourself or anyone else. Show them the same respect you deserve yourself. Don't allow others to disrespect you or you invite further disrespect. Honesty It is hard to always tell the truth. However, this is not about condemning yourself for all the lies you told to others in the past. This has more to do with being honest with yourself for your own good. Not everyone is entitled to your secrets. This is a belief pushed on to people who want a society based upon looking to others for your salvation. Your personal goals, feelings and secrets are your own and to be shared only at your descretion. It is not wrong to keep such things to yourself when someone asks and it is not a lie, simply none of their business. This honesty does apply to others in a sense you are not going to tell lies to them in order to manipulate them into doing things for your benefit. For instance, if you are selling a car that you know is a lemon, you should be honest and tell them what is wrong with it before they fork over money for something they think is great. Another example, you wouldn't tell your best friend that the person they are interested in hates them just so you can go out with the person they like. If you are in knowledge of something that is their business and they ask you, it behooves you to either tell them what they know or tell them where to look for the answers you found. For instance, if a friend asks you if their spouse is cheating on them and you know the truth, you may not want to tell them directly, but it would behoove you to point them in the right direction to find out themselves. Give people the information to which they are entitled. That is being honest with other people. Being honest with yourself is a higher and more rigorous standard. You know what you have done. You may not want to face all the things you have done, mistakes you made, or the dark side of your personality, but it is there. Unless you honestly look at them for what they are, you cannot take positive steps to eliminate them. If you have done wrong or made mistakes, don't beat yourself up. Look at the mistake and learn from it. Make amends where you can and help others who are making the same mistakes who want your help. Then forgive yourself for the mistakes so you can move on. You cannot move on unless you honestly look at yourself for who you are. Once you get really honest and look past the mistakes, you will see that perfect connection of the Source within. Crimes Against Your Nature There are laws man makes so we can live in an ordered society. This is why we set up governments who make the laws for us to live under. When a government becomes oppressive, it is the right of the people to stand up to it and overthrow it. A government should consider the needs of its citizens and show them respect. This is why we must allow laws and punishment for breaking such laws. However, there are greater areas of law, crimes against your nature. This boils down to: 1. One must show love to all, especially to self 2. One must always forgive, especially self 3. One must always show respect, especially to self 4. One must always be honset, especially to self When living your life, you must always reflect if you are doing all of the above. If not, you are committing a crime against your nature and putting a dark spot on your soul. These are your rights and responsibilities. You should expect to receive love, forgiveness, respect and honesty and in exchange your are expected to show love, forgiveness, respect and honesty. Becoming Your True Self You are one with the Source. This is what Jesus meant by saying, "The Father and I are one." He didn't just mean only himself. Everyone is open to being at one with the Source of all Creation, but not everyone is open to the Source. When you open yourself to the Source, you become your True Self, a being of unlimited thinking and realization. You are able to imagine your life and create it into reality. You no longer live in fear. You are full of love and confidence. You do not look over your shoulder. You make up your own rules without fear of disturbing the rights of others. You are truly free. When you finally decide you have had enough of the limited life and want to skyrocket into a world beyond your wildest dreams, you are on your way to an exciting life. Follow the path and start to make that connection with the Source. Soon, you will feel more powerful than you ever imagined was possible. Simply things are often what blocks us from being our True Self. The words "should," "must," and "supposed to" need to be eliminated from your vocabulary when in reference to you following the agenda of someone else. These words only apply when you are following your own agenda. You do not need to do things you do not want to do or feel like doing because someone says you should, especially if there is no benefit in it for you. That is not to say you should never do anything nice for anyone as a favor if doing such things give you a feeling of joy. It is when doing things for others when it feels like a burden on you that must be stopped. Look into yourself to find your true purpose in life. Forget about the material issue of whether it will bring you money or fame. Following your heart and throwing yourself into your life's purpose will do that automatically. It is only when you look at it from a pure materialistic point of view that you block your road to success in that field. Guidelines to life are there to help you make personal decisions on how you live your life. The only person who will judge you in the end is yourself and it will be based on those guidelines. No one else is going to care if you were a homosexual, a person who loved punk rock music, who danced every night and so forth - but you will care the most if you did such things against the guidelines. In all things you do with your life, it doesn't matter as long as it is with love, respect and honesty. Only your True Nature knows your heart. You must be true to yourself to be connected to the Source. Getting The Power If you have mastered the rules of life, you are probably wondering how to get in touch with that Source. It takes faith, devotion, practice and a large amount of will. It must be done on a regular basis, at first to make the connection and then to make the connection grow stronger. Set aside time on a regular basis to get in touch. Once in the morning, once in the evening and once during your day at the very least is enough to get you on the fast track. Make your schedule free for 15-60 minutes depending on your own schedule and tolerence. If you can sit still for longer periods of time, it will be better to try for an hour, but if you get antsy it will ony frustrate you if you push it past 15 minutes. Wear lose clothing so nothing binding on your body will distract you. Be sure you are comfortable, have relieved yourself, are not thirsty, hungry, too full, sick, or itchy - all of which can be a distraction. You may even want to do a walk around the block and some streching exercises before you go into meditation to get your blood flowing throughout your body. Go into a room without distraction of music, television, people, or too many things to look at. Sit in an upright position with your feet flat on the floor and your hands on your lap with palms up. Clear your mind of everything except the task at hand to connect with the Source. Relax each part of your body one by one from your toe to your head, let each part of your body feel numb. Then imagine a ball of white light over your head. This light is the most brilliant form of white light you have ever seen. It is warm, buzzes and vibrates gently. That white light is the Source. Ask the light to come into your body and watch as it comes down through your head and rests within your chest. Feel that light occupy every part of your physical body and ask the light to enter your soul. Feel the light melting into your soul body. Feel how warm and loving it is and embrace it. On your first encounter, just experience the love for as long as you can stand it. Get to know it and accept its love. Feel its power and respect it. On a later visit, you can ask to partake of the power. Be sure to stay in touch with the Source often just to feel it without asking anything of it. When you are clear feel free to ask the Source to create what you want in life. Don't water down your request with doubt. Once you have felt the Force, you do not need to doubt that it can create what you want and come to full realization. Nothing Else Is Required The UCPFUL path assumes the best in everyone and trusts you to your own judgements. It is your life and you are the one who must live it and account for what you have done. If your life is working correctly, then you have nothing to fear. If your life isn't working correctly, you need to examine your life honestly and come into your own corrections. No one else can think for you, make judgements for you, or use your brain. Never give that over to anyone else. Live in peace!
