Information on spirituality from mystics and meta physicians from the 1600s through 1950.
We are all on our on our own spiritual path. Spreading Peace and Love Ministry is dedicated to giving you new thoughts on your current spiritual journey. It is important to understand the nature of the soul and how the actions we do on the earth plane support the growth of our spiritual existence. The spiritual path is difficult at best to navigate but when we truly understand how God, the universal presence wants us to prosper, to be well, to do well, to live well on a soul level, the path becomes much clearer and the road becomes less traveled in fear, regret, remorse, jealousy, hate and anger. The mystics and meta physicians new this.
This ministry offers you several views on spirituality. The information may be new to some and simply a review for others. The goal is to bring you closer to understanding your identity with God. The overarching goal is bring you to an inner awareness of your divinity and to assist you in spreading universal peace and love to everyone. One the biggest obstacles are our thoughts, our perceptions on life and our perceptions on each other. These perceptions can cloud our view, they can impact our spiritual growth in such a challenging way that we become and remain (for many) baffled and confused about our life and our spiritual purpose.
The information and text here is predominately based on the teachings of Jesus, the biblical prophets, metaphysical readings, studies, essays, and inspired works by mystics, renowned scientists, gurus, saints and Eastern philosophers. My interest as a pulpit minister, chaplain, teacher and meta-physician is broad based; however, you will find prose from writers and teachers who I call the forefathers of this Christian New Thought movement. I have also included several of my sermons, lectures and my thoughts on spiritual teachers and their teachings and how it relates to healing, prosperity, forgiveness and how to just be a better material person (man) with the goal of being a higher energetic spiritual being.
Supporting all paths to the one God and realizing belief in that one God has led me to realize that the creator has given or scattered information to all divinities that believe and honor him. We believe that humanity is on a journey, a beautiful quest to find and uncover a spiritual identify. In studying all faiths that honor the one living God, we believe that each individual will find what he/she seeks; a greater understanding of their divinity and oneness with God.
Jesus, the Christ wanted his followers to live in peace and love and the Bible is filled with references about “love.” The parables, the dreams of the prophets, and so many of the negative life lessons we are given in the Bible to learn from stem from the players not demonstrating peace or not demonstrating love.
Why isn’t the Bible enough for us to learn from? Why can we not follow the teachings of Jesus? We quote Jesus so many times, yet, how many of us really follow his teachings?
Why aren’t the tenets of the Torah enough for us to learn from? Why isn’t the Koran enough for us to learn from? What are we missing? What am I missing? Why is it so difficult to love? Why is it so difficult to think peaceful thoughts?
This ministry cannot answer these questions for you – but I promise you that as you read and support us we will trigger that inner spiritual “you” and start you on the journey we are on to answer these questions.
My research, my studies, my information leads me to the forefathers of the New Thought movement. Mary Baker Eddy, Ernest Holmes, Emile Cady, Judge Troward, Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, Henry Drummond, Henry David Thoreau, Charles Fillmore, Emmet Fox, and more recent mystics – O.C. Smith, and Eric Butterworth.
I am not here to promote books or readings from the various sources. The information you will see on this website will be condensed by subject and written with you in mind to give you new insights in truth. When information is directly cited from a mystic or the Bible, a footnote will be added.
Thank you for joining peace and love ministries. May your journey be sweet, may you always feel the embrace of God’s healing love. May you practice “LOVE” as Jesus taught. May you create heavenly thoughts and live in harmony. I know you can live these statements each and every moment. May you recognize the love of God in all your affairs.
Namaste –
Rev. Dr. Oscar P. Grant
