The Spiritual Path: The Way

Who and What is God?

THE SPIRITUAL PATH: "THE (MY) WAY"

Who and what is God?

I’ve thought a lot about God, the Ultimate Source over the years

The idea for this e-book came from (and was inspired by) my research and study into the fascinating book 'OVERDRIVE: FORMULA ONE IN THE ZONE' by Clyde Brolin, as well as my own contemplations of the spiritual journey over the years.

The fascinating book and fresh perspective on Grand Prix racers 'OVERDRIVE: FORMULA ONE IN THE ZONE'

by Clyde Brolin

This unique book looking into the minds of Grand Prix drivers is published by Vatersay Books (first published Feb 2010)

I'll keep adding to my thoughts.

Just had the idea today (7am 14th December 2011), so here it is.

This is my favourite and sums up very simply my message, my “little” life...in trying in some small way to break down barriers between people.

"I had a good chance to meet a yogi who was so spiritual and happy all the time. I wondered how he managed his thinking and I learned a lot from him. I saw him and I thought, 'This is the way.' You believe in a God, but not in a religious way. We human beings like to give him names, whether that is Jesus or whatever else. But my view is that God is ONE, whether it is Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, almost anything, and that he is everywhere. He (or she) has (no gender), colour, no religion, no race, nothing. It's incredible how close he is to you and to everybody. You just call him (her/It) and he's there. That's it, simple.

This is the reality we so often forget."

- Balbir Singh, former physio-therapist and confidant to Michael Schumacher (and student of psychology).

(With my little additional few words in brackets)

"In the future I hope to write a small book to help someone to find this way. That's my dream."

- Balbir Singh,

That’s my dream too, Balbir...so here it is!

Together, one mind, one life at a time, let's see how many people we can impact, empower, uplift, encourage ... and perhaps even inspire to reach their fullest potentials."

"When you come to the edge of all the light you know,
and are able to step off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen:
There will be something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly."
- Barbara J Winter

Here are a few of my own thoughts along the spiritual journey...

"The task ahead of you can always be overcome by the power within you...and the seemingly difficult path ahead of you is never as steep with the great spirit that lies within you."

"When I let go of what (and who) I think I am, I become all that I can be... and am capable of being."
- craig (as adapted and inspired from Lao Tzu)

"God creates us with different gifts. Each one of us comes into the world with a different collection of life circumstances that often severely challenge us, things that give us joy and in expressing our talents allow us to bless the people, the world around us."

"Aim at the ceiling and you'll hit the ground or nothing.

Aim at the moon and you hit the sky

Aim at the stars and you may hit the moon...

but perhaps even heaven (on earth)."

“When (or is it perhaps if??) you arrive in a place (or rather state ) known as heaven, let faith and love be the wings of the chariot that carried you there.”

- Craig (as adapted from the words of Jonathan Edwards, a former minister in Massachusetts (New England)

“Having pursued the goals, the dreams set before us and run the race with persistence and endurance, after giving it all. Then one day standing on the summit of life, breathing in the pure sweet oxygen of achievement, totally satisfied in running the greatest race, the race of life one that ANYONE can run and win.” craig 11/11/11

May the light of God shine brightly on your path up ahead
