Desire and Becoming

Some teachings state that we should not desire anything. Desire draws us back to earth and the snares of living in materiality. I personally feel that there are good desires such as learning self-mastery. If we achieve self-mastery, then if we desire to return to earth we bring with us the strengths we have accumulated through love for the good, discipline and right choices. Desire originating in the inner Self is quite different from the desire of the ego/personality.

It is actually funny when you think about it. Desire is used to rid ourselves of desire; we desire the state of desirelessness. Our mental constructs are such an absurdity. Instead of removing a personality anger trait by becoming angry at our weakness, why not remove anger and misplaced desire by seeing the reality of our current condition? We are a spirit trapped in a soul/mind/emotional and physical body. We must be aware. Awareness of who we really are frees us from desires that entrap.

Why not change right now? Why wait? The process of becoming is a form of deception because we are always seeing ourselves as less than we actually are. It is easy to deceive ourselves into believing that through time we will gradually change hatred into compassion, greed into nonattachment and fear into joy. When we always see ourselves as becoming, good changes are postponed. When we groan about our weaknesses, the past and even talk about the future, it is the ego talking. Maybe we need to simply accept the spirit living as us and live accordingly.

Time Travel

We can only know ourselves in relationship to the present moment. How we act, feel and think in the reality of the moment reveals a part of us, which is primarily the ego. Our gestures, words, and expressions in our moment to moment relationship with life are the mirror in which we can see ourselves. If we are endlessly becoming something regardless of what it is, we are never fully present are we? The present is either filled with thoughts about the past or hopes and dreams for the future.

We are masters of time travel. We either are looking back or thinking about future realities. This is the way most people think and feel. People are seldom in the present. Sometime, take a few minutes of quiet time and watch where your mind goes. What lives in the present is your spirit, the higher Self. This is one of the many reasons so many of us meditate. Absolute quiet is one method of feeling the present. Breath work, chanting mantras and looking at a candle are other methods used in rediscovering and living from the perspective of the higher eternal Self.

Because we divide life into past, present and future, reality is not fully understood. There are some people who teach that neither the past, present or future are reality. They claim it is all one big illusion. I disagree with them. The illusion is in believing that only what we see, feel, hear and know with our senses is the one and only reality. What we experience in a physical body in a material world is very real while we are in it. Try and tell someone who doesn't have food to eat or is in extreme pain or fear that they are living an illusion. An illusion is the ongoing process of becoming something we judge we are not and not understanding our spiritual identity. Time traveling back and forth in the mind is primarily a focus on the personality and not the real Self.

Going beyond the Ego

Until a soul is balanced and has achieved a measure of enlightenment, it is typically ruled by possessiveness and ambition. Most people are empty shells acting out a poor imitation of living. This is what scripture refers to as the living dead. The reality of confusion, spiritual identity loss and ignorance and the feelings of loneliness caused by a sense of separation pushes the ego to reach out through attainment to fill the emptiness. Emptiness is filled with possessions, power, wealth, the love of others, knowledge, talents and prestige.

This process is actually a vain one and very sad because it is the result of the absence of love and sense of separation from one's own true spirit within that is the real cause of unhappiness. When we finally honor, love and accept the reality of our higher selves, with our full being, love blooms and we begin to experience what it is meant to be free.

We are are own worse enemies. This fact can be witnessed anytime and anywhere. Most people are looking for the wrong things in the wrong places. When I mention love, I am referring to spiritual Light, truth, beauty, reality and an intimate oneness with the essence of the hidden spirit. No possession, no power, no amount of money, no social status or prestige can fill the void created by the absence of divine love. It is the enormous emptiness that is the driving force to achieve attainment in one area or another. Although attainments are recommended and make us feel good about ourselves, eventually we learn that they do not fill the void waiting for the Divine.

Unlocking the Mystery

The third chapter of Pantanjali Sutras is called the Siddhis section. It consists of 54 out of the 195 sutras that reveal what we need to unlock the mystery of who we are. And the process that is offered is a very simple one called self-observation. My intent is to help willing souls reach self-understanding. Self-understanding helps us break the bonds of conditioning. It leads to a state of oneness with life, a union with God and finally our destination, a state of perfection while living in the flesh.

We must use the tools that have been given to us and extract the understanding necessary to reach a state of self-understanding. For an example , working with mantras will accelerate the evolution of the soul. Yes, there are spiritual powers gained as we become more enlightened. Although very convenient, Powers are not the goal. Why? They can become detriments if we become attached to them. It is the ego who desires power in order to expand itself. If we can use powers without losing our state of balance, they will work for the good of all who experience them.

The ideal is to remove all the obstacles to our spiritual growth and joy. Even when we have psychic and spiritual powers, we are not necessarily enlightened. It is simply a fact that we have added another aspect or attachment to our self-image. In other words, the attainment becomes part of our ego. Many people place their focus on becoming this or becoming that. Becoming is part of the human measuring time routine. We may feel insufficient. Insufficiency's will spur us on to become better than what we judge we are. Actually, fear of lack and limitation is the barrier to self-awareness. Most people are fearful of both life and death and do not yet comprehend what real love actually is. They desire it as a form of self-centeredness under the guise of pleasure, security and a need fulfilled.

A Cramp in Consciousness

Mastery of the outer without mastery of the inner world keeps people barbaric despite all outward forms offered to society. The solution to peace, joy, wisdom and love cannot be found in the outer world. We eventually learn that spirit and science must lean on each other. We will continue to live in a nursery world if we do not wake up to our spirit identity. This is not an intellectual awakening. Hopefully, what I understand as reality will help give you a grander vision of who you really are.

A little more than 5,000 years ago a race of people moved down from central Asia and settled in the Indus Valley of the Indian subcontinent. They brought with them a new science, previously unknown to the world. It was the science of mind. They were the Aryans, and their language was Sanskrit. They brought an astounding divergence from the language and science known at that time. Before that time, mankind occupied itself with the science of tools and the understanding of the external world...how to build, hunt, sow, reap and attain physical security. The arrival of the Aryans shifted the emphasis to the identity of the builder; they sought to understand the workings of individuals. The Aryans were the first known people to use a systematic science of enquiry to study their own natures. The result was the science of yoga. The science transcended time and culture.

2500 years later a verbal description of the ancient science from the mists of time was offered in the Sutras of Patanjali. It is a science of self-enquiry. Sutra means thread, a line of thought. Patanjali wrote 195 sutras. The notions of divination, astral projection, clairvoyance, channeling were first written about in the sutras. Also, the concepts of the aura, spirit guides, inner planes and non-physical planes originated in the sutras.

Divine Mother and World Changes

The United States and the world is passing through a transformative and transmutative shift on many different levels. The shift includes a period of orientation including discovery, acknowledgment, recognition and acceptance of a different reality. What is happening in case you haven't noticed is that consciousness is finally evolving into a more meaningful vibration.
Within us lives a spirit. Within earth is spirit. The shift is from a very dense level upward toward interaction with Spirit. This means that everything is breaking up in matter because we are moving from a material perspective to a spiritual grandeur.

When we incarnate, we spiral downward into matter. Now, it is time for us to consciously while in a physical body to move upward toward Spirit. You will notice in the months and years ahead that humanity is shifting from the reactive and emotional energy of the solar plexus region to the concern and love for all life of the heart energy. For this to become a solid reality, destruction in the world of matter will take place.

We are at the threshold of the Aquarian Age. New ideas, laws and approaches will surface. Humanity will begin to rediscover its lost dream of heaven being able to be lived on earth. Suffering usually is a companion to drastic changes. The less resistance expressed by people, the easier the transition. Eventually, we will grow into a unified spirituality, a teaching focused on Radiant Light.

The voice of the people will be heard as we move from the ignorance of darkness to the illuminating Light of Spirit. Awakened souls will live by a higher will, power and creativity. Love and wisdom will be the result of Divine Intelligence in action. Learning in a group setting with a similar intention will accelerate your transformation. There are Celestial Beings waiting to help those who are ready to focus on soul evolution. A new balance will be created by those who choose the Radiant Light.

More souls will discover and know themselves as the intelligent expression of Universal Mind. If you desire guidance and assistance from master beings, do what you must do to clear out emotional hindrances and blockages that you have accumulated throughout your long journey. Divine Mother specializes in removing the impediments that work against wholeness and love. This is why I have been prompted to offer healing sessions where Divine Mother is in charge.

Practice discernment, cooperation, keep a close watch on your intentions and be courageous and the vision to bring in a new humanity will energize and inspire you. Entering the Age of Aquarius offers higher knowledge and opportunities to express the inner spirit. Humanity has a choice to move from an obsession with materiality to a higher spiral of truth and beauty. Take steps now to remove all that hinders your transformation and experience with me the joy of standing free.

Healing of our Spiritual Distress

In the insightful book, The Secret of the Golden Flower, it says that a poor man is not helped by having more or less generous alms pressed upon him, although this may be his wish. He is much better helped if we show him how, by work, he can free himself permanently of his need. These words of wisdom are to be applied to earning our spiritual maturity in order to possess it. What is the use of reading or hearing about wisdom and how to heal our distress if we do not apply the teachings?

Many people long for simple truths today but if you are lazy and impatient you will likely settle for cheap simplifications and platitudes. Our world is on the brink of a great change. Are you ready to do your part? A spiritual crisis of such dimensions is happening right now. Are you open to the truth that redemption depends on the 'work' you do upon yourself? It is time to make real our own deepest meaning...God-realization. Meister Eckhart stated that 'God must be brought to birth in the soul again and again'. It not a consciousness that we can take for granted.

If you desire to be healed, spirit must live as you. If not you are dead. Without a living spirit directing and nourishing your life, the mind is as dead as matter. To be free and live in the flesh as godliness demands the most thoroughgoing and persevering preparation and love for truth.
We must let go of our attachments. If not, we are still possessed. When we are possessed, it means the existence of something stronger than who we are. It is time to look very closely at our own consciousness and rid ourselves of the energy of the heavy and replace it with the light of truth. When we open our heart and mind to the Light, sadness and sorrow, distress and separation will vanish from memory.

Celestial Beings

Celestial beings appear in classical myths and philosophy, in the vision of the Shamans, in Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Zorastrianism and Islam as well as in Judaism and early Christianity. In all traditions, angels serve as messengers of God and are said to hover between heaven and earth. Religious scholars, in general, simply say the number of angels is too great to count. Most modern versions of the Bible carry approximately three hundred references to angels and their duties here on Earth. The Reformation did believers a great disservice because the entire hierarchy of angelic life, the invisible life between earth forms and God, was dismissed.

If you are committed in seeking truth and loving the journey, you will be able at some point on the road toward completeness to establish an intimate relationship with our invisible friends. They are willing companions whose love, light and wisdom enrich our lives immeasurably. Angels desire to share and assist in the area of spiritual growth, helping us move quickly toward the unique spiritual destiny that is designated for the children of God. Their guidance and support is not to be taken lightly; it is something to rejoice in and to give thanks for.

Angels are present although you may not feel or see them. They are authentic beings of intelligent light whose role is to help when you believe and trust. I urge you to cultivate a taste for the Unseen and be open to God's unexpected ways if you are not already. An awakening awareness of multi-dimensional life is only the beginning of an extraordinary journey of love and fulfillment. With the growing awareness among people all over the world of a finer vibrating life right here in our midst, I felt it appropriate to honor your soul by recognizing and respecting the celestial friends who are here for you. The angels relate to the higher part of you. When you consciously connect to their energy, it makes the journey towards freedom and true identity a much more exciting and fulfilling adventure.

What happened to the ideal of your soul?

The soul's ideal before it enters a womb is to be a balanced and free being while it is here in the flesh. To be a wide awake being, an individual must remember who it is, use its God given talents and not fall prey to falsity and delusion. A balanced being does not have an identity problem. This is a huge package to open and use. The good part is that through life we are given reminders by people who do remember and our making a concerted effort to express their higher Self in matter. If a soul would choose a good environment and parents for its beginning years in a body, life would not be so complicated. Unfortunately, it usually doesn't work that way. As a result, it doesn't take that long to forget the ideals one had prior to physical birth.

So here we are in a confined form that has been fed a great deal of falsity since a child and we are struggling to be rid of the emotional baggage of the past. We want to be free to be our selves, the better part of us that continues to live after the physical body is dropped. If you are fortunate to have decent health right now, take advantage of this blessing and seriously get to work on transforming your mind.

The time to expand consciousness and unlearn the heavy load you have accumulated from mistakes, corrupted thought and old conditioning is when you still feel good physically. All weakness, all ignorance keeps you from the truth of who you really are. Begin to ask the higher part of you, the spirit, to take charge and direct your thoughts and feelings so you will make the right choices and necessary changes for a much needed healing of the soul, mind and body. It can be done.

Mental and Emotional Control

There is a mental tool that will create a powerful healing. It is the tool of detachment. Learn detachment and you will be able to heal yourself and help others to be healed. The type of detachment I am talking about is the kind where you separate yourself from the influence of emotional energies that work against your freedom. Emotions can work in a negative or positive way. They hinder our goals when we become so embroiled in their influence that we can no longer remain objective.

What happens is that a negative emotion can stagnate the soul. They can block any movement forward. For instance, if you live with someone who is constantly creating dramas that work against harmony and balance, the results can make you a wreck as well as them. It sounds strange, but we do choose a family and partners that will force us to take charge of our own emotional response and mental gyrations. If you do not wake up to what is actually happening in your personal environment, you may possibly falter, be miserable and temporarily leave the path of Light.

Damage control is what is required. To heal and free yourself, you must step out of your own drama. If your goal is to assist in the healing of others, you must not include any negative feeling nature in their drama. The dramas of life are created to force us to look at who we really are and take positive action. All souls make the choice to live in a garment of flesh and experience itself as divinity in matter. There is a definite pattern within this choice. The typical soul forgets its spiritual identity once it enters matter. Eventually, and that eventually may take a long time, it awakens to its true sense of Self. In the meantime, much damage may have taken place prior to its awakening. The damage is conditioning, false judgments and belief systems that work against the hidden soul's idea.

What Can I Do to Liberate Myself?

First, no one is going to do it for you. If you want to continue to live a limited life boxed in by conditioning, judgments, fears and falsity, do nothing. It takes disciplined effort on your part to circulate the light, divinity, within your energy patterns. Also, transformation does not occur over night although some people like to believe so. Remember, we carry around with us the past and its memories which are still front and center in most people in the present. So, in many ways few people are actually living in the present. Yes, there are definite steps you can take to be liberated. You must stay with the intention by giving it your full attention.

Thirty-eight years of healing opportunities has provided the knowledge and experience to share the words that I do. Next week, I will give you suggestions and examples on the subject of healing. Understand that healing must begin in your mind first. A passionate desire to be free of any form of bondage and live as wholeness and truth was the spark that grew into an ongoing flame in my own experience. My desire was to fully remember who I spiritually am and consciously reflect the Light. When we live from that perspective, we do not know fear. I knew that there is really only one power and presence, God, and allowed no thought, person or experience to deter me from my inner knowing.

You can liberate yourself and help others as well. Do not be intimidated by someone else who appears to have a greater spirituality or power flowing through him/her than you. The secret is to fall in love with the Absolute Spirit and Its presence living in you. Once you have attained the right understanding of who you really are, you can take the various attachments, hindrances, falsity and conditioning out of your mind and replace them with the certainty, love, compassion, wisdom and beauty of a balanced soul. Light will circulate through you and for the first time you will understand what it means to be free.

Why Bother?

If we do not recognize our spirit identity or deny its existence, we deviate from the way. To have and sustain true thoughts, it is necessary to understand the importance of Divine Light and its circulation. Universal Law emphasizes how we must diligently fill oneself with Light. The average person doesn't even think of his spirit identity and behaves as a person who has lost his footing on a high mountain.

Our inner spirit, the Light, is beyond the polar differences. We can overcome the polar opposites of light and darkness when we are conscious of the spirit that dwells in the heart. If we solidify light into our spirit-body, its life energy will gradually penetrate the instincts and movements of not only our consciousness but our physical body as well. Through focused breath, mantras and meditation we return to the purely creative. The outer image demonstrates the inner secret and beauty. When our breath is balanced and we practice the circulation of the Light, the true human nature transcends fate and becomes a conscious spirit.

We bother because to awaken is to apply the magic of who we really are. We inwardly know that to be truly alive the radiance of light purifies our energy and we are whole again. It is said that there are ten thousand ensnarement's. When we are damaged by low self esteem or any of the other ensnarement's, we fall victim to deception and confusion, separation and fear. The only way that we can be free again is to deliberately break through the falsity and darkness of the ego. The ideal is to enter a space of pure energy instead of the cave of fantasy and imbalance. When we find that right space within, a bond of love and certainty is established where we feel a warm release belonging to the true Light.

Recovery Process

To transform low self-esteem we must go through a recovery process that requires honesty and facing our own responses. It is a serious disorder that affects millions of people. Frequently, a person becomes paralyzed with fear. Intense stress can damage a life in such a way that the victim will never reach his full potential. He will always respond from a place of imbalance, need and dissatisfaction. Usually a victim is overly critical of self. Frequently, a victim will hide true feelings and appear to be maintaining an appearance of control even though he deeply feels ugly or a failure within. Some victims become overachievers. There is a long list of disorders that manifest due to a lack of support and affirmation of one's value as a human being.

If you haven't studied my latest book, Be-Embracing the Mystery, please do. I have been active in the healing field for thirty-eight years. I discuss why some people are healed and others are not. The reasons are amazing! Low self esteem is only one reason but a powerful one. Life can be changed for the better when a victim or patient admits to a history of emotional abuse and deliberately takes recovery steps. It is possible through self analysis and realization to learn self-mastery and actually attain balance and wholeness.

I have also noticed that it is very difficult for emotionally wounded beings to turn the other cheek or to forgive. Suggestions of positive behavior are difficult to instill if you retain feelings of rejection, isolation, being ignored or corrupted, exploited and terrorized. Intense emotional imbalances create an energy that has a greater difficulty accepting a Divine Presence living within. Invest serious time in examining your childhood, relationships and reactions to life. If you feel like you are in a box and going nowhere regardless of your efforts, a low self esteem may be blocking your progress. You are worth the effort. It does not have to been years of therapy. Look closely at how you have reacted to people, circumstances and life. Daily meditate, pray, contemplate and chant mantras that are proven to heal emotional disorders. There is an old Zen saying, Words cannot cook rice. A readiness to take action signifies the radiant light within to gradually remove the negative effects that are blocking your happiness and freedom.

Brainwashing

If you were emotionally abused as a child and the effects become long term emotionally and verbally as an adult, a low sense of self-esteem, depression, identity problems and illness will attach as unwanted energy to your personality and body. In many victims, increased alcohol and drug use will eventually destroy you with the mounting tension and feelings of inadequacy. The most serious crime is that the feeling of inadequacy prevents you from accepting your own spiritual identity, your own soul worth.

When you are abused on any level, your partner actually trains you to behave in ways that he or she wants you to behave. Gradually, you begin to feel differently about yourself. Lack of confidence erodes your feeling nature. The brainwasher puts forth a closed system of logic and allows no real input or criticism. In other words, what he or she says goes.

Low self-esteem is actually a thinking disorder. You begin to view yourself as inadequate, unworthy, unlovable and incompetent in many instances. Once these notions are formed, the negative view of self permeates every thought producing faulty assumptions and ongoing self-defeating behavior. Humans develop their initial view of worthy or unworthy attributes in childhood. One who is abused becomes like a bird with only one wing. There is no way a soul can fly when it is constantly in a state of doubt and imbalance. The sick part of this scenario is that many people are not consciously aware of how serious the insidious abuse actually is.

Emotional Junk

I am returning to this subject because it is a major cause for suffering. Even though you seek truth, seek mastery and desire to remeember and live as your higher Self consciously, are you having trouble crossing that bridge of conviction? If you are, perhaps the abuse is known or even unknown to your conscious mind. If you exprienced abuse as a child you may still be expriencing a sense of low self esteem today. The problem with childhood is that the child may assume abuse is a normal behavior. How can you feel that a god or goddess, a holy spirit, a higher Self is actually your true identity if you are still wounded and not healed from the past?

I used to offer rebirthing workshops which emphasized a divine breath exercise that acted like a vacuum cleaner stripping away emotional junk hidden in the subconscious. Today, I prefer a gentle and inexpensive method, mantras, that beautifully handle the emotional liposuction process if you stay with it long enough. Sound mantras are a form of chi-energy that will heal emotional energy stored in your body. I suggest that you first begin with 9 sets of alternative nostral breathing or some other breath technique. Emotional and psychic baggage are locked into points in the body. Things like rage, anger, abandonment, fear, bitterness and guilt are often the root cause of physical ailments ranging from sciatica to substance abuse.

Most abuse begins when we are children. It may likely continue as an adult from our partner. An emotional relationship that drains us will erode self esteem and happiness. You have to fight back recognizing that you can empower yourself regardless of the appearances. Emotional abuse is a form of brainwashing, mind control and the victim may be unaware of what is going on and what changes are taking place.

The Temporary Personality

I call who you think you are the temporary personality for a good reason. When you accept that you were alive before you entered this physical body and will continue to live after you absent the current body, you realize that the personality is temporary. The personality is also affected by what month and day you were born. Each day has its strengths and its weaknesses. Depending on the point of soul evolution you are at will determine whether you act and react from a point of strength or weakness.

You may have already evolved, fine tuned your understanding of what constitutes self-mastery and enlightenment, and be thrown off the path of balance because of early childhood emotional abuse. If you were rejected, isolated, ignored, corrupted, exploited or terrorized, your feeling nature is likely to be damaged. Terrorizing would involve the witnessing of family violence. If you had experienced the most insidious type of emotional abuse which comes under rejection, how can you believe that a divine and loving Self is alive in you?

Regardless of past conditions or current ones of imbalance and shame, you can regain wholeness by establishing grace in your life. Instead of solely leaning on the arm of family members or friends who may be as confused as you are, deliberately learn to lean on the arm of truth and the Light. It is our responsibility to remember the Source and restore ourselves through aligning our energy with the Source. We can reestablish inward mindfulness that creates healing, equanimity and the confidence that arises out of knowing the truth that gives us life...our inner spirit. By remembering the inner spirit Self, which always remains in a state of equanimity and lies behind all experiences pleasant and unpleasant, we awaken to infinite possibilities, become genuinely happy and whole again.

What God or Goddess?

The whole purpose of life is to make God a reality. We do that through a true trust in the higher Self, our very own god or goddess. I know through my own life experiences how difficult it is to accept and live from the point of view of the goddess. If we have experienced emotional or physical abuse as a child, the path is usually cumbersome. Once we realize that old conditioning has damaged our conscious sense of our true worth, healing will begin. Manifestation of good in our lives becomes easier as we grasp the great truth that the Divine, our true Creator and Light is within us right now. It is that essence that empowers us in all ways.

God is not limited. God does not have to wait until the future to manifest good. Once we grasp the magnificence and power of this truth, we can manifest a balanced and happy life now. If you are doubtful or afraid, you won't. One of the requirements for transformation is a true trust in the Self within.

Keep asking yourself, "Why am I not manifesting good in my life right now?" Keep asking this question throughout the day. Keep a record of your spiritual journey. Review it at the end of the week. There are so many good suggestions out there on how to be enlightened or how to be successful or how to be a master of self. Nothing will work fully if you do not wholeheartedly believe in the spirit within, feel it, talk to it, listen and express it. God, Light, Spirit, the Jewel has not been a priority during the Dark Age. As a result of this gloomy cycle and the resulting spiritual ignorance, suffering, a sense of separation, limitation and lack, the energy has pulled us away from the Center. You can stop it.

A Weak Drama

Even though Wall Street is weakened and so many familiar aspects of life appear to be weakening, we do not have to be. There are simple devices that will restructure your reality. These devices make use of sound. The sound Ah has the ability to attract good towards you. Combine Ah with Ra, which represents fire, and you create a vibration for prosperity, perfect health, and enlightenment. Ah is desire, Ra is the fire energy and Ka is a symbol for materiality. Put the sounds together as Ah Ra Ka Ra and you will create a resonance chord that will change and regulate your mind so you are capable of manifesting good in your life. You can chant this mind mantra mentally or out loud for 10-15 minutes anywhere. It is a technique that will change your life for the better.

When we enlarge our consciousness, we can accomplish anything. It is false thinking to blame Wall Street, the government or any one else for our problems. As strange as it sounds, we are the creator of the effects in our lives. It is what we accept as our truth, the choices we make and our associations that determine cause and effect. When we look at the possibility that we may be the cause of disruption, loss, separation, lack or limitation, a new direction can be taken. We will manifest a better drama. This is your life. It is very important to understand how powerful you are and use the understanding to create your own heaven on earth.

Using a simple sound mantra as Ah Ra Ka Ra will train your mind to believe and act so you can have a better life right now. Instead of waiting for tomorrow, which never seems to come, you experience good right now. The simple mantra removes the idea of something being impossible.
Learn to take mental action as well as physical action. Be patient and watch your life unfold in a greater and more satisfying way.

Deliberately Creating

Manifestations of desires are not as likely to appear if they are only from the point of intellect. The more your heart feels your dream passionately and with purpose the greater the possibility of a good outcome. Learn to not limit your imagination and instead live from the consciousness of mind where you believe and live in the realm of infinite possibilities. Deliberately break any sense of limitation and in confidence change your life to reflect how you really feel.

When we are pessimistic and stay in the box, so to speak, we freeze reality. Tomorrow never really comes so why not manifest what your soul desires now? Do you ever ask your self why you are waiting for something to change for the better? Since time is a human concept, we measure our lives constantly. Why not go beyond restrictions? Make a new commitment to a different kind of thinking. Being an awakened spiritual being means to be active, positive, unlimited, loving, trusting, determined, passionate, understanding and yes, joyful. Remember to wish good things for your self and others.

There are some philosophies and religious beliefs that discourage desire. I don't discourage desire. What is good is to develop the right desire which is to become divinely conscious. If you have a good desire, do everything possible to manifest it. Why not use spiritual principles which include good desire to enhance your practical life here on earth? Why not be the best that we can be?

Taking Action

The best action you can take right now is to heal yourself so you will think and act from a place of balance. Circulate the Divine Light within you and the power and presence generated will not only keep you centered but will reach out to others in your circle of loved ones and friends. Do your best to stay away from people who create division and express themselves from a point of fear and falsity. It is time that you be in charge and not allow negativity to influence your feelings and actions.

There are Celestial beings, angels and good friends who will protect and assist you if you keep your focus. Although appearances at times appear bleak, life is evolving the way it must. Trust is a blessing during hard times. We chose to be born during this period of change. This is why I am offering tools and techniques in my classes to help keep us balanced and in control of our own body and mind energy. Be alert to influences. Use discernment and trust the Light. Participate in the changes by becoming who you really are...a soul who is evolving through love and the choices you make.

Stay with a daily meditation schedule. Do this for you. Try nine sets of alternate nostril breathing every day to sustain your focus. Chanting Om Nama Shivaya is very centering and healing. Remember to take good care of you. There is nothing selfish about creating good for you, others and the planet. If you have a dream not yet realized, stay with it and keep dreaming. Use visualization to remind yourself that the dream will manifest because you are persistent and dedicated to your own expansion of consciousness. Think positive and forceful thoughts over and over again for long periods of time.

A New Age?

Changes are happening on every level. We just don't all of a sudden wake up and find ourselves living in a Golden Age. We are in the transition period and will be for some time. Our job right now is to stay awake, clean up our act, empower ourselves and take positive action. Carefully watch the media, other people or events that try to sway or manipulate inner feelings that you know are intuitively correct. It is our job to listen to our inner guidance and not be tempted along a path that is not in the best interest of soul evolution.

Ideally, you will desire to take positive action and do everything to enlighten your own mind as you are likely to be tested and tried over and over again. There are people, organizations, powerful energies in our world that are in opposition to the Light and the dream to move forward. The great need is for unity and not division. It is time to return to oneness, dignity and fairness. The more Light that you bring in through your love for truth, the more others may try to fool or catch you off guard thus dampening any enthusiasm and real joy you hold in your heart for soul progression and true freedom.

As we collectively return to a state of mind and heart of unity, the world around us will appear as crumbling. This is how it must be to open the way for the new consciousness. It is important that you strengthen your mind, emotions and actions achieving balance as well as clearly understanding what is actually behind the changes. Like Jesus said, "We cannot put new wine into old bottles".

The Jewel

The Jewel is within but the east and west approach the Jewel differently. The West emphasizes the human incarnation, and even the personality and historicity of Christ, while the East says: "without beginning, without end, without past, without future." In accordance with this conception, the Christian typically subordinates himself to the superior, divine person in expectation of His grace.

The eastern seeker knows that redemption depends on the 'work' the individual does upon himself. The Tao, the Golden Flower, the Divine Spirit grows out of the individual. The imitation of the Christ has a disadvantage. In the long run man worships as a divine example a man who embodied the deepest meaning of life, and then, out of sheer imitation, we forget to make real our own deepest meaning-God realization.

It is my opinion that it is necessary to combine the purely masculine mind with an intellect imbued with a greater mind which bears the stamp of the feminine. When we choose to live in this way, we will become participants in the Eastern Spirit. I believe that the Eastern Spirit is a remedy to the infection that has spread in the western world of limitation, separation, forgetfulness and inaction.

Building a Bridge

What I am attempting to do for you is the building a bridge between the knowable and unknowable, psychic states and symbolism of East and West. I am combining the purely masculine mind, an intellect with a greater mind, which bears the stamp of the feminine. So, in many of the classes that I offer we become participants in the Eastern spirit. I believe that the ancient Eastern spirit is a remedy to the infection that has spread in the western world of forgetfulness, limitation and inaction. The western consciousness has glaring problems regarding the subject of personal spiritual identity. In our injecting the ancient energy of the East into our studies and practices with an opened heart and mind, we are able to soften the glaring problems in our lives. We become more universal. Western rationalism and its one-sided differentiation is ready to yield to Eastern breadth and simplicity. With gratitude and respect, hope and love I will continue to help others to empower themselves for the good of all life.

The goal is to live mingling with the world and yet in harmony with the Light of the Divine.
