Dare, Try and Be

Be patient with yourself as you dare, try and be. Link your mind and feeling nature to the Divine World. As the link strengthens, your connection to the All-pervading Light will offer you Higher Knowledge. Understanding and using the Higher Knowledge, you will be more likely to create positive causes and effects. This is a profound subject. It is understood by living it. Isn't it time to stop punishing your self? Understanding removes the veils and love sublime takes its place.

If you are already aware of past negative causes, they can be healed by sending a true force of love back to them and neutralizing the energy. Burn negativity through love and knowledge. You can do this even if you do not have a conscious recall of harmful deeds. Neutralize all feelings of hate, resentment, fear and greed. Ties are dissolved through recognition and forgiveness.

Transformation begins in the mind. Become a conscious shape-shifter. Anyone who exercises discipline and has a plan for spiritual growth can, with practice, consciously control and reshape life according to imagination, will and a good belief system. It is in the learning to be the true Self that future effects are controlled. It takes a certain amount of courage to do what is right. You can transform weaknesses. Be honest with your self and others. Change comes through effort. It is possible to heal negative effects lurking in the background waiting to manifest. Use the power of mind. What mind are you going to mimic? The mind of the unenlightened or Divine Mind?

Purifying the Unnecessary

I know through years of experience that at a certain key point of inner understanding negative karma can be purified. Karma is a mental creation. If you plant poison, poison will grow. You can experience the effects of your negative karma or purify it. The Bible says, "God is not willing for any to perish, but that all should come to a knowledge of repentance". Repentence is the science of changing the mind. Dig deep and you will reveal what needs to be changed. Meditation, contemplation and prayer will help you. The way to be free of past impressions is to learn non-attachment or higher knowledge. Knowledge is like a purifying fire.

Help does come by changing our attitude. Learn to live life consciously and deliberately and not become emotionally unbalanced when you act. I am not talking about being indifferent or non-loving. Non-attachment from matter and personalities creates freedom; attachment creates bondage. Learn to love all the things of the world, but don't become attached. Matter is temporary. Inner Self is permanent. Everything else is subject to change. Why not deliberately change your attitude?

When you truly know your own connection to Divine Mind you automatically understand the principles and laws that are useful for spiritual growth. You always have a choice. Havoc occurs when you forget you have a choice. You must actually die to the manipulations of the lower nature and be reborn consciously to your inner spirit nature. You will still be you but a much more radiant you than before. A serene mind is the master, creator and doer. Regardless of the choices you make, you will continue onwards toward your goal, which is conscious perfection and self-mastery.

A Quantum Physics Thought

If we understand quantum physics, we learn that there is no ultimate cause and effect. Undoing the past means forgiveness and re-creating the present. We are the ones creating the illusion.
Everything that is not harmonious can be changed, dissolved, enhanced and enlivened when we
are aware and act upon the higher knowledge. We are responsible for our use of creative power, whether it is expressed consciously or unconsciously. Suffering may or may not be experienced if an individual is spiritually mature and practicing universal law. When our focus is on spiritual endeavors, we gradually move into a liberated spiritual energy, which ultimately leads to freedom from negative karma and worldly attachment. Since it is rare to live a life in isolation, we do need to constantly monitor our thoughts and feelings so we do not become mesmerized and entrapped in another's drama of disorder and despair.

The more we are consciously aware of our own spirit identity and live it, the closer we become to resembling our higher divine Self who does understand the illusion. Right identification will keep us from wavering and falling into a state of imbalance. We can also do whatever we can to alter a negative effect by removing our energy from any activity that violates peace of mind and happiness. This cannot always be accomplished through physical removal but a higher state of mind can be reached through a combination of compassion and detachment. If we find ourselves in situations of disorder, it is necessary to know how to manage the thinking part of our mind. We have the power to put an end to the cycle of self-perpetuating suffering. Why not prepare your mind so you can discern as well as receive truth and peace? Not to honor our inner Self is to violate and disempower its purpose and presence.

Sacrifice of Spirit

It is my opinion that we can handle anything that comes up in life if we have true knowledge regarding our spirit identity and apply the knowledge gained. The higher identity is spirit-light-intelligence-beauty-truth projected temporarily into matter. Matter, emotions and mind are usually assumed to be the only self. The latter is the everyday baggage that we carry around in our normal human state. Until we awaken and rediscover Spirit, it is trapped in space-time. It is our responsibility to set it free. Entrapped spirit is the great sacrifice talked about in the ancient teachings.

The physical world manifests through desire. A higher energy, Spirit, became a living part of the creation. In the meantime, the individual projections of the One Mind forgot its origin. When sublime truth and the real identity are forgotten, harming others or ourselves is often the result. Due to forgetfulness and spiritual ignorance, negative energy is created that will eventually boomerange. Humankind has been warned. Consciousness and desire create the causes that appear in life. It will benefit us if we look at this issue and think deeply regarding personal energy and how to use it. Our current energy is creating the future. In truth, the past, present and future are happening right now. In other words, energy becomes what it thinks about. The energy that most people have forgotten is the hidden and ignored energy of the eternal Spirit, God within...the natural divinity.

If we understand quantum physics, we learn that there is no ultimatre cause and effect. Undoing the past means forgiveness and re-creating the present. We are the ones creating the illusion.

Entrapped Spirit

It is a good habit to remind yourself periodically that your spirit is entrapped in matter. The more you lovingly care for the body and mind, the greater your awareness, light, beauty and health. The care you give to the outer opens the way for the inner to express freely as you.
Hate, fear, greed, doubt and all the intense emotions that are opposite of love, light, wisdom and beauty create future imbalanced experiences. These experiences can be altered, neautralized when the mind and soul awakens to the truth of its Real Identity as light and spirit. The ego-personality is not the authentic you. Knowledge of our spirit identity, understanding and being pure in our intent, compassionate and a genuine love for life can wipe clean all the confusion and nonsense that is keeping the soul separated from its Source. Separation only happens in consciousness. The personality moves away from the Source, not the opposite.

The only true life is one that is lived consciously as spirit. If the individual spirit feels limited in its embodiment and unable to express its full potentiality, it will find a way to discard the form. Light in every electron desires to expand. If the personality and the way it has lived the physical life has been disabled, it will find a way to discard the form. When you really look at this thought closely, you will understand what is meant by the expression 'the living dead'. The inner light of the individual is in bondage. A soul has a choice and if it is happy with its choice in discarding the body, it has made the right choice. Regardless of the choices made, the soul continues onward towards its goal, which is conscious perfection. Eventually, the cumulative experiences will satisfy and the soul's journey ends in conscious oneness with its own spirit/light and the expansive Light of its Creator.

Thoughts about Death

Physical death is an effect and a choice although it may appear otherwise. When the soul is ready to leave the body it attracts or finds a way to exit the temporary form. Whether death appears natural or deliberate matters not. The body is a garment and when the soul no longer has a desire to use it, the soul will find a way to leave. Physical forms are garments created for an experience, an experience that the soul creatively has chosen. The experience may be wise and bring further evolution or it may be unwise and create temporary pain and stagnation.

A physical death is always natural. Humans do not usually understand the underlying death wish of the soul who has not completed the return journey to conscious Oneness using a physical form. The Hebrew Bible tells us about men who did not have a death wish: Elijah, Moses, Melchizadek and Enoch. Everyone lived 500-1000 years. Today, India has its immortal yogis. Physical immortality is defined as a body and mind that remains healthy and active for over 300 years. The three basic causes of death are ignorance of the true identity as spirit, emotional energy pollution and poor diet. People die because they kill themselves.

The death urge definitely programs humans. The death urge is defined as a psychic energy composed of all of our anti-life thoughts. These thoughts form a structure and belief system. The energy has a life urge and intelligence. The urge can be changed or destroyed. Death is inevitable and beyond our control is a key thought in victim consciousness. I just read where in 1958 the average life span was 74. Today, it is 85. I mention the death urge because insurance companies are based upon the principle that each person dies at approximately the same age and of approximately the same symptoms as their parent of the same sex. There are exceptions to this family rule when we look at the cause of the abuses we allow to infiltrate our subconscious and control our minds and bodies.

Guarding your Peace

Change is necessary to create peace within. Peace is independently felt within oneself. It is not dependent upon outer sensation. It is something that belongs to us, something that is our own Self. This is our wealth. Those who do not have it are poor. When we are peaceful, we have the power to observe keenly. We can conceive and contemplate properly. Spiritual progress depends on peace within. Have you thought about the lack of peace? Love of sensation, movement and activity in all its different forms, wanting more and more objects and a dependency upon the outside life, the soul loses peace. Train your self to keep the mind focused on the center, the inner peace and your state of mind will be undisturbed. When we are undisturbed, we are less likely to create negative causes. It helps to choose a particular word or mantra that is helpful and mentally or silently use it in moments of disorder.

To remain undisturbed, be constantly aware of the sneaky influences of the subconscious part of the mind. It behooves you to be at constant attention. Do not allow manipulation to touch your energy. A serene mind must be the master, creator and doer. The soul chooses what it would like to experience. The original plan is not set in stone because of the free will and outside influences. Your spirit is patiently waiting for the conscious part of the mind to make the right connection and the feeling nature to develop the passion. To know all is to experience all. This does not mean it must be an actuality. It means that the mind entertains, tastes and assimulates the possibility of an experience in deep contemplation and feelings. It means that the use of unlimited imagination is as much as a reality as the actual physical or material experience.
