Learning, Exerting and Making Sacrifices

People who do not understand why we are on earth also cannot understand the concept or goal of Initiation. They feel they can do without all the effort. Isn't there enough pain without always trying for some nebulous something that is not fully understood? What is not realized is that there is a subtle or etheric earth. Some call it heaven or a higher invisible dimension. The soul wants to return to that other place of light and harmony. The problem is that the light of many souls is dimmed and the return to a higher vibration requires true knowledge, exertion and making sacrifices. All religions, even the most primitive, have this tradition of the fall of man followed by his redemption and return to the Creator Mother and Father God.

There is no physical distance between heaven and earth. the distance is in our consciousness. Once the majority of souls return to stability, everything will be different. It is true that our inner life is constantly tried and tested. There is so much disorder on the planet right now that can easily undermine our spiritual goals if we do not become a spiritual warrior. What humans must understand is that there are inferior earthbound souls that tempt human beings. These souls have not yet developed love for God and life. How can this happen? Quite easily. When a soul enters matter, it enters limitation and bondage because the soul forgets its spiritual identity. A great many very advanced spirits forget all about their origins until they meet someone who has or is experiencing a direct connection with the Divine, reads or hears something that triggers a forgotten memory.

Matter is our cross of forgetfulness until we make a consistent contact with the higher Self and the energy of radiant Light. So, we could say that we are the cross because the cross is made up of the four elements. If what I am sharing sounds true to your heart, the following is a suggestion that may assist in your spirit work on matter. Each day stand and face the four cardinal points of the universe in turn. Each of the cardinal points is ruled by an Archangel. Yes, they do exist. In the East is Mikael, in the West Gabriel, in the North Uriel and in the South Raphael. This rite of turning and facing the four cardinal points before a prayer or meditation invites and assists you in communicating with the four dimensions of space. The movement and call will help you transform limitation, a sense of separation and memory loss of who you really are. For those who read this idea for the first time, know it is far from a new thought. The Christian religion devotees make the Sign of the Cross. The Rosicrucian symbol consists of a red rose in the center of a cross. There is also a parallel between these symbols and that of the Grail, the emerald cup. The cross and the cup are always figures of man. It is on the cross that the rose will bloom if we love life and the Divine.

Have a good weekend, a stable one. I invite your comments and suggestions.

Exploring the Depths of Your Inner Abyss

The two principles of good and evil coexist in each human being. The heavenly enlightened ones know that before the last degrees of Initiation, we have to explore the depths of our inner abyss. There are wild beasts, so to speak hidden in the subconsciousness part of the mind. The tendencies are usually from a remote past. It is best to go down to that level siphon up just a few elements at a time. You go about this clearing through prayer, Harmony, bringing more radiant Light into your life and love.

When you become aware of negative influences that are attached to your mind and body, study them closely. You must be strong and anchored sufficiently or firmly in the Light to conquer forces that have controlled you in different degrees. Much of what is harmful to a human both within and without are influences from the astral world. Many people feel like they have been invaded. When you are unbalanced, the nervous system receives severe shocks. Help is available from the Angels and Archangels, the Initiates and Masters, and all the Patriarchs and Prophets and also from friends and relatives who vibrate in the subtle worlds of Light.

Archangel Michael is a perfect collective symbol who fights for the good. There are many Hindu gods such as Lord Murugan and Goddess Durga who work with us when we recognize and accept their presence and power. When we ally with our own higher Selves and bright celestial friends, we do much better than struggling alone. These glorious and heavenly beings work with the Light just as you need to do for enlightenment, harmony and liberation. Invite the forces on High which are light, love, purity and kindness to assist you in a thorough divine vacuum cleaning.
