Elsabe Smit's Articles in Religion & Spirituality

  • What is reincarnation?
    Explanation of reincarnation and our one-ness with God. Why do we have to return for more than one life?
  • This is just not happening to me
    When we experience a sudden shock, our minds and bodies deal with as much as they can and file the rest of the experience away until we are ready for it. This results in irrational behaviour at the time of the shock and a degree of depression later on. All experiencs contribute to our spiritual growth.
  • Shedding a new skin and dealing with changes
    Our bodies show physical responses that indicates the state of our spirit. We can fight these physical responses or we can accept them as guidelines for spiritual growth and enrich our lives.
  • Premonitions and confirmations
    We have premonitions because we are all linked together by means of invisible waves of energy. That is how we become aware of incidents "before" they happen - in fact the incident happens first, and then it enters our consciousness.
  • Once when I was big
    As children we are encouraged to access our imagination, but as adults we are encouraged to deal with reality. Does that mean that as adults we turn our backs on reality and in fact deal with an illusion? Should we dream so that we can create our own reality?
  • Muslims may own dogs
    When you are confronted with a belief from any religion, you can choose to apply your God-given mind and search for the truth, or you can swallow what is fed to you and increase your fear. This includes any misconceptions about a ban on Muslims owning dogs.
  • Love and Marriage
    Many people mistake marriage for love, or insist on a wedding ceremony as the only means of expressing their love. Love is not about ceremonies. Love is about what is in our hearts.
  • It is time to experience the end of the world
    Time is a man-made concept that we manipulate without even being aware of it. We will become more aware of is as the crucial date of 21 December 2012 on the Mayan calendar approaches.
  • Is Suicide a Sin or an Act of Bravery?
    It is not for us to judge people that contemplate or commit suicide. it is for us to understand how desperately alone they are, and to love them unconditionally, no matter what they do.
  • I believe in angels ' and fairies and mermaids
    We find it easy to believe in material things for which we have not seen any evidence. However, we easily reject spiritual issues for which there is much evidence, on the basis that we have not experienced it ourselves. We need to understand that the dimension we live in is not the only one. We have access to other dimensions and we like to discard this as fantasy rather than acknowledge it as another reality.
  • How would you like your potatoes?
    Faith comes in different shapes and flavours, but the one thing that all faiths have in common is a belief in a Higher Being and Love. We can live that Love by being tolerant of the faith of others.
  • He looks just like his father
    When a child is born, we acknowledge that the child is a combination of the parents - the best and the worst of both parents. We choose to forget this when our children grow older and display behaviour that reminds us of our dark side. We then often blame the child rather than deal with our own traits or fears.
  • Are children ever illegitimate?
    We like to brand children as being illegitimate. Why do we not rather brand the people who have such views as cruel and insensitive? The children are all legitimate creatures of God, regardless of what their parents or the people around them think.
