God gives the wise their wisdom
and scholars their knowledge.
To them He reveals
deep and mysterious things.
Daniel 2:21-23

DISCOVER THE HOLY SPIRIT GUIDING YOUR LIFE
The Holy Spirit inspires, guides, protects and provides for good things we are intended to do in life.
You can discover the Holy Spirit guiding your life by looking for sequences of unexpected and unexplained coincidences that together have given you the opportunity to do something good, or protected you from harm.
TO BEGIN:
Consider something good in your life.
Now think back.
Were there coincidences over time that prepared for it?
Were people brought together so it could happen?
Were you helped and encouraged in unexpected ways?
Coincidences can happen over time, or all at once.
Coincidences may only be recognized when looking back later.
.
When you put related coincidences together, do they seem to bring about some preordained destiny in your life?
Are you being prepared and guided now to something preordained for your future?
Are coincidences bringing things together in your life?
Do you suddenly understand things as if in an inspiration?
Do you get lost to time when doing something creative?
Do you feel drawn to something that coincidences may be preparing for?
Have you ever been saved from the danger of death by something that could not have been expected?
Our lives are filled with choices that may be leading to preordained destinies.
Looking back over coincidences may help you discern among the choices you havc now.
BUT TO BE CONSIDERED
We must remember that our lives are interwoven in the fabric of all life, in which there is free will, with conflicting ideas and interests, even among good people. So we cannot know the outcomes of the destinies we embark upon.
Not all good things can be successful. Our lives have joy, love, friendships, happiness and success, but also sorrow, illness, disappointments, and failures.
It is for us to live our lives to the full, with courage, faith and fortitude.
THE HOLY SPIRIT
VS
THE INSTINCTS OF EVOLUTION
CALLED THE EVIL IN HUMAN NATURE
We can be on the side of the Holy Spirit in God's Great Game of Life, and contend against those enslaved to evolution's instincts for insatiable greed, mindless exploitation, and merciless violence.
The slaves to evolution's instincts have no inner peace or happiness. They have only the momentary satisfaction of taking something from someone else.
The Holy Spirit's people have inner peace and happiness. They are content with enough. They enjoy cooperating and sharing with others. The Holy Spirit guides us towards our missions in life.
The Holy Spirit gives us the loving nature and inner serenity to enjoy the beauty and wonders of this world.
In times of Blessed Solitude we can commune with the Holy Spirit for guidance to make the right choices, and to be loving, helpful and patient with one another.
Divine Providence in Life
in Revelations of Divine Love
Lady Julian of Norwich (1343-1416)
Visionary, Anchoress, Author & Spiritual Advisor
And I saw that truly nothing happens by accident or luck, but everything by God's wise providence. If it seems to be accident or luck from our point of view, our blindness and lack of foreknowledge is the cause; for matters that have been in God's foreseeing wisdom since before time began befall us suddenly, all unawares; and so in our blindness and ignorance we say that this is accident or luck, but our Lord God knows that is not so.
In Blessed Solitude,
from your studies and experiences
with the help of the Holy Spirit,
can come serenity and wisdom.
These essays bring together Scripture,
modern science, ,and the wisdom of the ages. .
May the Holy Spirit inspire, guide, protect and provide on your journey in life.
May you have time for Blessed Solitude in which to commune with the Holy Spirit for wisdom and serenity.
NOTE BY AUTHOR:
I am a pilgrim on a journey to an unknown land, seeking for something I cannot define.
Now in my 8th decade, I am beginning to find in the wisdom and scholarship of the ages, in modern science, and in my own experiences in life, some of the understanding I am seeking.
The choices I was given and the choices I made seem to have been with the help and guidance of the Holy Spirit
