Helpful Suggestions

Sometimes, we must not be so nice. When something or someone disturbs our sense of stability even if it involves someone we love, adjust or remove it. Real loving is protecting your self, environment and not allowing intruders into your aura. Intruders are other people's energy, words, thoughts and actions. If you feel sorry for someone and you allow your feelings to mar your vibration, how is that being true to your self? Never allow anyone to invade your stability and good sense of self because you feel sorry for them and their weaknesses. We can actually manifest a greater love for the world and each other when we are detached from a sickly type of emotionalism. Real power is to be detached yet, compassionate.

This is all about shifting your understanding. If you don't want something or someone in your environment, remove the energy, learn to say no, regardless of what another is saying or desiring. Stop saying yes to manipulation even though the other person makes the suggestion sound reasonable. You can have such a strong feeling for someone that the other person's condition will throw you off center and unpleasant things occur that need nor happen. What I am saying, is that love can have a negative result if it is not a balanced love. A certain amount of detachment is required.

What if you died and were asked, "Did you use your energy correctly throughout your life?" What is being asked is whether the lower aspects of the personality used love properly. This ties in with self-judgement. The way we answer that question determines any limitations imposed on us in future lives. No God out there does the punishment or restrictions, we do. It will save us a lot of misery if we understand and express love correctly.

Pushing Toward a New Reality

We are no longer isolated. Have you noticed how more people are independently choosing to process or correct and help the well being of others? During this cycle, we are pushing toward a new reality but humans do not know what that reality is. Studying and living according to the law of Nature will help us. We have to change ourselves and get in touch with the Upper Worlds of Light, Love and Wisdom to be free. It is becoming increasingly necessary that we must transform human nature to avert catastrophe. We are a new culture trying to live in a responsible way. With this choice, we are experiencing growing pains. We don't know as yet how many people are required to create a critical mass where the masses begin to think differently. Rising of awareness needs to be based on pertinent information. Education takes years.

For the right change to happen we need a critical mass. Modern scientists are agreeing with what meta physicians/mystics/deep thinkers knew years ago. We are using our imagination and creating new patterns. We are building hope. Questions such as Where are you? Why are you here? What is keeping us in the dark? are being asked frequently. What are needed are complete perception, unlimited view and infinite possibilities. We have to stop living the box. Get outside of it because most people haven't the vaguest idea as to what is out there.

We need to do our inner work first to fully understand what is actually happening on the planet during this cycle. Purpose and nature cannot be perceived through the five senses and ego. It is critical we awaken the higher forces, which are quite different because they are beyond space and time. It is our responsibility to tap into a power that is greater than mind. It is an all-pervasive energy. When we develop the right state of awareness we can tune into and blend consciously with it. Then, what we radiate outwards, the carrier wave, is used correctly. We use the power of Light with love and understanding. Love is an active and living thing. In its highest form, it is impersonal. The goal is to love equally, then all things are yours and you are a part of all things.

Giving, Receiving and Service

I offered a Circle of Light class yesterday and felt a few highlights would be appropriate to share for those who could not attend. We were talking about freedom and how we are programmed at birth: society, values of those around us, influences compelling us to do things a certain way. So many souls temporarily get off the path and purpose due to family and environmental influences. Reading this, you already know that a higher purpose and nature cannot be perceived through the five senses and ego. So to rise above conditioning and awaken the forces of divine love and wisdom, we must reach the varying forces beyond space and time. I mentioned how vital it is that we do not allow the feelings and problems of other people to throw us off center and at the same time grasp the idea that other people's issues can actually assist us in breaking away from the five basic senses.

Never allow anyone to invade your stability, your good sense of self, because feeling sorry for them and their weaknesses doesn't benefit either one of you. Love can turn into a negative force if we enable a person out of sympathy. We have to learn our own lessons. Scripture states that 'It is God's good pleasure to give to His creation'. Humans are like children who refuse to receive advice and goodness from parents, authority figures and friends. Be an example and do your best to understand another but do not cripple the other person by always giving them what they think they need to be happy. Things and happiness are temporary at the materialistic level. Stop saying yes to any form of manipulation even though the other person's suggestion sounds reasonable.

The question you will be asked by your higher Self after physical death is, "Did you use your energy correctly?. This is a powerful question to ask your self every night before you go to sleep. One of the main reasons we are on the planet is to correct our mistakes. When the intelligence leaves the physical body, it leaves with all the characteristics, yearnings and hopes that it possessed while on earth. If you are interested in soul evolution, the desire passes with you from the earth plane to another subtler plane. When we physically die, we still inhabit a physical body although it is made of a different and finer substance. We still live in full awareness, in full memory of the recent life in the new vibration. There may remain lessons to be learned in the new environment. How we have behaved in this present materialistic life determines the level of consciousness we attain in the next vibratory realm, particularly while waiting rebirth again on this earth. As the soul evolves, it remembers old life experiences from other times and places.

The Hall of Judgement is actually a state of mind called self-judgement where the super consciousness will judge the lower-consciousness. Judgement determines the next incarnation if there is to be one. Judgement determines the place, parents, environment and plan. Now, if we have lived this life knowingly and consciously in service to the Divine within and to all life, there is no need for the super-consciousness to impose gross limitations upon the reincarnating consciousness. This is not always the case if the incarnating soul has a desire to help the new set of parents evolve. It may appear to have chosen an unbalanced body or mind but it is a deliberate choice primarily to draw out virtues in the parents and circle of influence. We are the judge, jury and give the sentence according to what is needed to advance toward the goal of full enlightenment.

Humankind's Achievements parallel Its Desires

Using the Kabbalah as a reference on this subject, it is said that the humans' desire to rule and conquer was the driving force behind the invention of the canon in the Middle Ages. As collective desires grow, civilizations advance. It is interesting to look at this closely because of the great desire right now in so many minds and heart for a good change that will benefit the rights of humanity. Kabbalah divides the entire complex of human desires into five levels: 1, Meeting basic natural desires, such as food, shelter and sex. 2, Striving for wealth. 3, Craving power and fame. 4, Thirsting for knowledge. 5, Desiring spirituality. Have you noticed that when the first four desires are fulfilled, a feeling of "emptiness" appears. Once we give up on reaching fulfillment to our desires on one level, it is off to the next level. When humans have satisfied the first four, they begin to ask questions concerns their origin, purpose and seriously desire to put all the pieces of the puzzle together. I am not insinuating that the first four desires are completely satisfied because having lack in any area of the first four usually causes a person to start thinking in its self. At least, this is my opinion.

Many people who are on the path of soul evolution deny the existence of evil. They refuse to recognize darkness. Some people automatically blame God for everything that is negative, sad, crippling, limiting, etc. Evil described plain and simple is human nature totally out of balance. There is no stability, heart or selflessness. The souls who lived under the influences of the lowest nature in the body continue to vibrate in a similar ignorance after physical death in the lower astral world and cause great mischief. Kabbalists say humans don't have to suffer; study instead. This means grow up and start correcting your mistakes and further suffering will not materialize. To do the correct thing, we must have that fifth desire, which is an intimacy with spirituality.

Once we reach the fifth level, we understand that there is good in evil if it drives the soul to deliberately move towards the Creator. Evil can pressure us to take control of our own lower nature and start evolving spiritually. This is only fully understood at a higher level of mind. The Creator wants us to partake in our own creation. Understanding this desire indicates that every negative or evil energy in us becomes a means to an end that is good. This is one way to make contact with the Creator. Recognize that evil is the beginning of the revelation of good. Behind all our desires is the search for satisfaction. We want to feel good. When we begin to feel good spiritually, it changes our scale of desire. We look at everything with new eyes. We assess our environment. We finally understand that we are a part of the One Power and Presence, the Source, and are able to look at the big picture. Don't get me wrong. We may still desire comfort, knowledge and all the other things, which is fine. Some of these areas diminish in importance because they no longer have the same meaning to us. Our focus now is in the growing desire for genuine spirituality. All the corrections leads to a direct contact with the Creator. How? Why? Because we desire to be like our Creator.

Have a thoughtful weekend...

What Does It Mean Going Beyond the Barrier?

The barrier as I see it are the five senses and the personality. To go beyond the barrier, we begin to learn from our own higher Self, through observation and the developing awareness and connection with the Source. Instead of solely using the physical senses, our spiritual senses become activated. As an example, it is through the spiritual eardrum that we hear and are able to discern truth. Part of the awakening process is the growing strength of our intention. A change occurs when the intention to receive is turned around into an intention to give. I have mentioned this before as well as suggesting that some good souls go overboard and primarily give and in the process do not take time for receiving. This is the not the norm. It does happen and that is why I am repeating this possibility. The state of selfless giving happens when we are close to the point of the heart. It is like a slug asking a rose bush how it can give so much. The rose replies by mentioning the joy of the sun and the rain and the simple act of giving beauty for the sheer pleasure of it.

People have always wondered how to reconcile the concept of free will with the existence of a greater power...the Source, our Creator. Many scriptures mention that it is the Creator's singular desire for you and me to be fulfilled and made joyful.
This actually cannot happen in its fullness until we reach a similar state of mind. In other words, our desire to enjoy is equal to the Creator's desire to give enjoyment. It is a circular movement. We have to choose this state of mind because it feels good. We choose it of our own free will. No one or no organization is forcing us. It is not something we must do. The soul evolves and independently feels and acts from this inner understanding.

Most people act compulsively. Either we are guided by pleasure or pain. The attraction to enjoy pleasure and avoid pain is what controls humans, animals and even plant life. To be like the Creator, it is necessary to be completely neutral. To be like the Creator, we are required to go beyond the barriers of the senses, attain detachment (with compassion) and take control over the inner environment as well as the environment we live in.

Look All Around You. What Do You See and Hear?

To those of us who have developed our spiritual senses, the world as it is commonly known by spiritually unaware humans is definitely one of darkness. The people who read material like mine are definitely interested in a greater reality. The idea behind soul evolution is to find a way to illuminate the whole of reality so it is plain to see not only for us but to be able to easily share it with others who are receptive. We can no longer act like we did when we were mesmerized by the ignorance of darkness. Now we desire to do what we can for the mutual benefit of ourselves and of others. Except, for a small nagging feeling that something vital could be missing, most people do not recognize that there is an absence of a very important piece in the puzzle we call life.

According to the Kabbalah and I do agree, humans only perceive that part of anything seen or unseen that resonates to qualities they already have. For a complete perception of anything, we need to first be complete within. This means we have to be aware of all the forms of reality that exist in us, and then our picture of reality will make sense. How many people do you know who really understand the subtle bodies that also make up the package that they call their Self? How many understand the Law of Karma, Rebirth or know the significance of the energy wheels of the chakra system? How many people are knowledgeable regarding the hierarchy in consciousness here on earth and the hierarchy that exists in the subtle worlds of Light? Intellectually some know but that is not true knowing or being. The intention in everything that I write is to help awaken the dormant sense, the intuitive, the light of the spirit, into an active awareness.

Through persistence and study, each one of us gains perception of the world of the Creator - the world of giving. The world of giving is actually another way of expressing or describing the Upper Worlds, the vibratory realms of Light. We perceive the radiant worlds according to our current spiritual state. Once we begin to feel and live altruism, the sense of spiritual sight, hearing, feeling and knowing opens. Kabbalists call it "crossing the barrier." As you travel the enchanted path of discovery, you no longer walk blindly. The teacher and the student walk hand in hand~
