There are a lot of publications and articles about personal power and how each of us, as an individual, is part of the universe. As part of the universe, one may attain "Universal Truth" and the attainment of the highest individual human potential. This say this can come from a combination of cosmology, astrology, esotericism, alternative medicine, music, collectivism, sustainability, and nature. This spirituality is characterized by an individual approach to spiritual practices and philosophies, while rejecting religious doctrine and dogma. (Wikipedia)
I’ve never seen a guidebook or blueprint of how you combine these universal attainments to pursue happiness or fulfillment. It is true that, as individuals, we can attain a self-actualization of our talents, as described in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. But is this the Universal Truth? We can combine all of the ‘ologies’ above, but is this the Universal Truth? Isn’t there a broad interpretation of Universal Truth and different ways for different folks to embrace it? Or define? Or live it? Who created the universe?
God has made it very simple for us in terms of Universal Truth. In His wisdom and guidance, He has provided a guidebook and blueprint for us to find and embrace the Way, the Truth and the Light — God’s Universal Truth. Through inspired men, and the Holy Spirit, God, in His mercy and wisdom, has made it possible for us to learn about Him. God has passed onto us, his instructions for life and happiness, His laws and His commandments. The universe, which God Himself created, stands silent. What is beyond the universe? God is. Our Father blessed us with the Bible, His communication with us. Many people try to undermine it or interpret it differently, or add things to it, or condemn it. If these same people studied the Bible, they would see that it is a masterpiece that fits together unquestionably. All they have to do: is read it. The universe is barren, cold, and limited. God is all encompassing, warm in Love for us, and unlimited. The universe cannot promise what God promises us.
