Surrender to God to Attain Enlightenment
How do you surrender your life to God? Did you calculate and assess your level of faith in God?
Japanese philosopher Tanabe Hajime advocated for philosophy to return to religion. He proposed that philosophy is not about discussing the role of logic in arguing or debating. He believed that philosophy was not an intellectual exercise at all. Instead, he said philosophy is a process of exploring, finding, and relating to your being in the deepest possible way. It is about asking more profound questions, seeking deeper meaning in life, and surrendering and confessing to a higher authority to rediscover your true identity and spiritual being.
Hajime found that enlightenment is one form of death and resurrection while in bodily form. He argued that in Biblical terms, this informal death and resurrection process refers to the rebirth of the mind through “other power.” This process helps people move beyond their limited view of the earthly self to surrender themselves to the grace of the other power – GOD! Thus, enlightenment happens when you arrive at your true self by letting go of the self and acknowledging and trusting in the Ultimate Power.
Tanabe believes that people find enlightenment when they reach a point in their lives when they can no longer rely on their power to control, fix, or change their situation dramatically. He says enlightenment is impossible when people rely on their power, ability, and strength. It is impossible until people confess they are powerless and surrender to a Higher Power that they encounter self-awakening, wisdom, and enlightenment. Tanabe calls this concept “Absolute Nothingness.” Tanabe contends that an innate preexisting condition exists within all people to attain spiritual enlightenment. For years, different religions and philosophies have been written about bringing about this innate condition of enlightenment. He felt that one path is surrendering to God, a “Demonstration of Christianity.”

Calculating The Essentials of Christian Life
How are you progressing toward Heaven and eternal life after death? Calculate and assess your faith in God and how well you are living a Christian life!
All people experience hardships and challenges in life where they begin to think about and fear death and dying. This fear is called mortality Salience, and for you, it could trigger a sense of self-reflection about your mortality and the inevitability of your death someday. How ready are you for your judgment day? How do you know you are going to Heaven to be with God? How do you know that you live a Christian life where you Love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength?
I recently experienced a clash with the future, which prompted me to think about dying. I decided to concentrate on calculating my chances of going to Heaven. Many people told me I couldn’t calculate faith, but I disagreed with them and set out to develop a process for calculating various forms of faith. In this first of many books on calculating faith, I set out to help you explore through checklist assessments how much you love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength. This book contains seven distinct assessments, journaling activities based on the evaluations, and scripture verses that hopefully will “speak” to you. How ready are you for judgment day? John’s books help you calculate your levels of faith.

Stop Being Afraid of Death!
Are you afraid of death?
When I was younger, I had an unhealthy fear of death. My fear is based on a death-related incident that occurred when I was very young. I had a very unusual experience with the death of a good friend and neighbor named Cetka (I relate my story later on in this book). However, I have had the luxury of having a spirit guide by my side for my entire life to help me deal with life-and-death issues. My spirit guide, Cetka, comes to me through spirit poems. Since she started doing this, I have dedicated my life to researching and examining Victorian mediums and the spirit poems that the mediums wrote while channeling spirits. I will introduce you to these mediums and some of their most enlightening poems.
I have focused on Victorian spirit guides because they were universal and provided guidance, healing, and instruction through spirit poems. These universal spirit guides were vital because they provided poems for everyone interested in living a more enlightened life. Although channeled a long time ago, spirit poems can help you if you:
- Seek enlightenment in this life.
- Require emotional healing.
- Fear what happens after you die.
- Want your life to have more meaning.
- Want to feel more in control over your life.
- Feel like you have valuable spiritual lessons to learn.
- Wonder what happens in the afterlife.
- Yearn for a sense of purpose in life.
