Metaphysics — Your Higher Calling — Part 1

Do you know God delights in you?

Metaphysicians hold the view that we exist for the delight of God. One of life’s great joys is tuning in with and recognizing Spirit. We can then allow It to create and manifest through us. Explore some of the main ways to experience God’s delight in you. Discover how you can allow Spirit to move through you to make your home and world a better, happier place.

Yoga Perspectives

For the Delight of God

Ernest Holmes:  The whole vast universe is a meditation of God. The entire manifestation of life exists for the delight of the Creator.

The central metaphysical idea is you and I exist for the delight of God. Try it out:  I exist for the delight of God. It is certainly a mood changer. Have you ever loved someone so much you became aware of God loving that person through you? You can cultivate awareness of God’s delight as you live your life.

  • Ernest Holmes (The Ernest Holmes Papers):  The entire manifestation of life exists for the delight of the Creator.
  • Jesus Christ:  Behold the kingdom of God is within you. If with all your heart you truly seek Me, you shall surely find Me.
  • Spirit lives within us and wants to create through us
  • When you feel compassion, you can begin to feel God’s care moving through you
  • When you love deeply, you can sense the love of the Infinite flowing through you
  • When you are serving others, you can sense God loving people through you

How to Succeed

As you may know, we do not charge for our courses. All Yoga World content is free and available to you with our blessings. However, we do have a simple, but important request that’s key to the transformations necessary to succeed on the path.

We ask you to commit two hours a week to selfless service. This service can be anything you choose ranging from helping a family member or neighbor to volunteering at a nonprofit organization.

I Commit to Serve

This commitment is solely between you and your inner self.

Why the Commitment?
