I was brought up Catholic in a generation that taught going to hell was easy and getting to heaven was very difficult. Consequently I spent more time thinking about hell than heaven and my early life reflected that bias.

Skeptics and people genuinely seeking spiritual growth and enlightenment sometimes ask me, "If there is only oneness, a single divine Spirit that we are connected with, who exists in an eternal state of now, how can there be past lives or soul ages? How can there be karma and lessons and agreements etc?" Well, the answer to that in all truth is, there cannot be.

At first glance the title to this article might sound a little odd. “Raging against God? But I’m not furious with God. Well, sometimes maybe, but no, I don’t need healing from this strange malady.” And this is exactly the point. Most of us are entirely unaware of the deep mistrust, the deep feelings of betrayal, the intense anger we harbor against God, the almighty Creator, the Great Provider, the Great Spirit, Atman, despite our protests to the contrary. In fact this is so even though many people deny the existence of Spirit. Why? How can this be? And if it is so, how did it ever come about?

The human experience comes with a secret toolbox preloaded with three exceptional tools for healing and accelerating growth. These tools are user friendly and quite ordinary but are often overlooked as being simplistic and not respectable, especially in the world of science and particularly in the field of Western Psychology. Even those who know about the tools tend to misinterpret them or fail to understand their true significance. So here in this article we are going to focus on these three tools and explore the territory covered by each.

As we live and gain experience in this life we make countless
observations about the nature of reality so that we may know what to
expect and learn how to navigate the rapids of life. Just as we nail
down some perennial wisdom we are confronted with what appears to be
the truth of its exact opposite or a countering belief that makes equal
sense. Here after much thought and consideration I have distilled four
paradoxes that, while confounding, expose much light on how to live.
There is nothing unique or new about these insights having been
explored countless times by all the great masters and self realized
ones who have gone before. Yet, no matter how many have navigated these
waters before us, each human being is required to confront and
understand them afresh if they are to make any progress in their own
liberation.

The greatest challenges for human beings revolve around the split created by the drives and motivations of the false personality (sometimes called ego) and an essence directed life. Now more than ever it is vitally important to be on the path of essence but there are thousands of years of false personality contaminating human history to deal with.
