The Second Great Wave of Angels

Angels are found all around the world in art. The second great wave of angels occurred in the Middle Ages and was reflected in the art and poetry of the times. An intense interest in the appearance and influence of the shining ones developed throughout the Jewish, Christian and Muslim worlds. In more recent times, angels make themselves known through modern communications especially the entertainment industry. Unquestionably, the best loved angel movie of all time is "Its a wonderful Life", the Jimmy Stewart classic that is shown every Christmas on television. George Baily, Stewart's character, is saved from suicide by his guardian angel. If you saw another old movie, "Grand Canyon", Kevin Kline is grabbed by an angel disguised as a young woman averting his being hit by a speeding bus.

Anyone whose life has been touched by the grace of an angel will agree wholeheartedly with the thought that angels are messengers from God: beings of beauty, purity and kindness as well as guardians and protectors. Some of you may remember the movie "Heaven Can Wait", a remake of the 1940 angel movie, "Here comes Mr. Jordan". Critics also loved "Wings of Desire" .For many years television had as one of its most popular shows, 'Highway to Heaven', in which the late Michael Landon played an angel named Jonathon Smith whose mission on earth was to persuade people to love and help one another. This season, 'Eli Stone', a lawyer guided by angels has turned out to be a very good show. The story line emphasizes listening to your 'inner voice' and visions and life's challenges can turn out very good.

Famous people have been touched by angels. George Washington during a terrible winter at Valley Forge claimed an angel appeared to him in his despair. The angel renewed his faith and ensured Washington of Victory. Abraham Lincoln often mentioned he felt the presence of angels as he labored at his desk late at night in the White House. During the middle ages, Joan of Arc, a sixteen year old farm girl lead an army that defeated the English and saved the French throne. She said she was inspired by the voices of two archangels, Michael and Gabriel, to take up arms against the invaders. More to come........

A Close Look at Angels

Down through the ages, millions of people famous and otherwise have felt the grace and uplifting power of angels. I have decided to tell you about angels because these beautiful and inspiring beings have been a large part of my life and perhaps yours. They are always with us whether we actually see them or not. We are living in a time when invisible helpers have become popular and actually visible. While angels have always been with us, it is almost as if we just discovered them. There are thousands of people from all walks of life who have been helped, guided, literally saved, inspired or comforted by embodiments of goodness, generosity and hope. People are eager to reveal their close encounters.

Stories of visions and firsthand experiences with angels have been around since the earliest days of written history. All the major religions of the world...Hinduism, Judaism, Taoism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam , Zoroastrianism and the visions of Shamans accept angels as an intervening force between a Supreme Power and the human race. Religious scholars, in general, simply say the number of angels is too great to count. Most modern versions of the Bible carry approximately 300 references to angels and their duties here on earth. The earliest appearance of the shining ones is found in Genesis. They are messengers of God.

I will add a few tidbits such as the records of the ancient Jewish writings and laws stating that every Jew has 11,000 angels. The Roman Catholic Church teaches that each human is assigned a guardian angel at birth who remains close by during the entire life experience. In the Islamic religion, everyone is said to have two angels...one to record good deeds and the other to keep track of bad deeds. Angels are also important figures throughout the New Testament. The first wave of awareness sharing revelations regarding invisible celestial helpers first came to human attention through religion. Since this is a popular subject, I will continue with this delightful topic for the next couple of weeks.

You Can Be Who You Wish to Be

Believe me. You are not restricted or limited. You only think you are. You can be what you wish to be. Choose what you wish to experience regardless of age or gender. You always have a choice. If you have not been in charge, it is time that you begin. The 'you' I am referring to is the very highest part of you, the Self. Allow your higher Self to shout....this is who I am!

The Self you are honoring is Light. It is Divine, an immortal intelligence whose true energy or essence is unconditional love. You already have the gifts and treasures of spirit within. In most souls, the gifts are dormant waiting patiently for recognition and use. You can be the freedom, love, joy, balance and the wisdom of the ages in a physical form. It is your choice.

Life is a gift. If you change your attitude and understand what I am saying, you will realize that every moment is holy. Your thoughts and words are power. You created your life. No one really does anything to us. We allow and accept the acts directed at us. Through honoring Self and the Self in others, you awaken a reverence for life. Only you can get your life to take off. Love who you really are. Embrace it regardless of what you are doing. The Still Small Voice is closer than you realize.

You are a sacred light on a sacred journey. The goal of life is to know the highest truth of Self and to stay centered on this truth. The first relationship and best is with the Self. We are holy regardless of the appearance. Make friends with your essence within. I trust that I have opened new possibilities for you. Do yourself a great favor....always keep in mind that there is more than one possibility.

The Power to Change

There are many possibilities to choose from. You have the power to change how you behold experiences and people. Allow yourself to really think, listen and feel. Pay attention to intuitive insights and honor your soul by consciously connecting to your feelings. Learn to prioritize asking if this decision is for the best interest of not only your self but all involved.
Open your mind and heart to new ideas. Be willing to change your mind, habits, environment and friends. You are in training and what you are training is your restless mind and actions that do not serve inner happiness or health. It is never to late to begin fresh and enjoy the living process from a higher perspective...a perspective that brings joy and fulfillment.

There are three levels of creation: thought, word and deed. What you repeat manifests as your reality. Healing experiences are proof of another power at work. The first healing we must experience is to correct the identity crisis, the main problem of humanity. You are a three fold being: body, mind and soul. What consciousness are you working from? How you feel influences your world. Most people feel from the level of the body. About 7% from the mind and only a few from the spirit. To live as we are meant to live, we must balance all three aspects of who and what we are.

You have a right to joy. Joy...what is that? God does not advocate suffering. God is a God of love. When you are true to self, honor it and the joy, real joy and love will come and it will come from within you. The within is the Kingdom of Heaven, the wisdom, love and bliss of the ancients. Mind, body and soul are equally important and are meant to work in harmony. Because the masses do not believe and live this truth, 4/5th of the world people think of life as a trial. Your body is the temple for your higher Nature. You are not separated from the Divine. You just think you are.

Look closely at your choices. The only real job any of us has on this planet is to reconnect to the Divine and stop feeling separated from It. This is living fully and successfully as love in form.
Decide who you are, what you desire to experience and then do everything in your power to be that individual. You have everything in your power to be your ideal. There are no accidents or coincidences. Bless experiences and other people as part of your awakening process. Embrace the process and move through it with confidence and peace. Strange but true, by simply changing our attitude we can actually transform our lives.

Making a Choice

Throughout the years, I have participated in hundreds of dramatic healings. Healing experiences began within my own mind and physical body. Personally, healing transformations became a living reality because I fully surrendered my life to a higher Power. When I help other people who are not ready to live the Will of God, I suggest proven techniques such as contemplation, meditation, prayer and service. I, also, use the techniques daily but it was the inner willingness to surrender that lifted me over the bridge from the mundane to the Sublime.

Transformation is about taking control of the lower sense nature and aligning your mind and heart with your Higher Spirit Nature. A simple tool is to create an Honesty Sheet on your weaknesses and strengths and decide to take action. The goal is to awaken spiritually and discover your true identity. What can you do right now? Everything. It doesn't cost you anything. You just have to decide to do it. We are creators both consciously and unconsciously. Learn to work consciously with energy by taking charge of your life. Who or what is in control? Is it subconscious feelings, someone else, your uneducated ego or the higher Self, the eternal essence of who you really are?

How do you create? Very simply through desire, imagination, thought, feelings, words and actions both positive and negative. You are constantly working with and sending out energy. This energy is Light and a form of power. It is alive . So, it behooves you to pay attention to what you are expressing. As you learn to monitor your thoughts, you will make better choices. You always have a choice as to whether to act from a place of fear or a place of love. Do your choices make you happy? When you are unsure of how to react to a person or situation, ask yourself, 'What would love do in this situation'? It is a fresh way of looking at appearances. Does this challenge offer a positive opportunity or is it simply an inconvenient problem?

Benefits of breathwork and meditation

I am so pleased that some doctors, hospitals and wellness clinics have been gradually introducing meditation as part of the rehabilitation process. Hopefully, the patients will continue to use this provable and preventative method to help themselves recover health and visible wholeness. Meditation has been documented as a very effective tool for cancer patients. The benefits mentally, emotionally and physically are astounding. Visualization techniques are commonly used as well.

Before meditating, you might try a series of conscious breathing exercises to center your intention on your goal. It is an organic way of healing the self. The benefits actually release stress and tension, builds energy and endurance, contributes to emotional mastery, prevents and heals in many cases physical problems. It is similar to building a personal energy generator that will work for you if you keep it maintained. Seventy per cent of our body toxins are discharged through breathing. Meditation contributes to graceful aging. It also manages pain both emotional and physical. Another plus is that meditation enchances mental concentration, physical performance and definitely facilitates psycho-spiritual transformation.

Both consciously focusing on your breath and daily meditation are very ancient methods of healing. These ancient and priceless methods work wonders with persistence. Being personally blessed as a healing channel, I always suggest to others that they, too, with effort and love can honor the complete package they call Self, experience visions of Light, celestial beings, increase the power of intuition and be able to heal. Developing passion is necessary to assist your desire to take charge and transform. I normally advise conscious breathing, meditation, contemplation and periods of solitude. By taking charge of our lower animal nature, we can contribute and sustain our own healing through changing our thoughts, patterns, being willing to try new and proven modalities. None of the suggestions are new. People of all walks of life have been practicing them for thousands of years. It is up to you to make a decision and then exercise discipline and love towards your personality as it struggles to achieve self-mastery and freedom.

How to Feel Remarkable!

One of the tools given to us is the ancient science of meditation. When we pray, we talk to God. When we take time for Silence through meditation, we listen. There are many ways to accomplish the feeling of unity and peace. Walking in nature is meditation for many. The period of time you take does not have to be long although I do suggest a minimum of at least ten minutes. If you choose to meditate in your home, select a room or corner where an atmosphere of privacy can be generated and sustained. Turn off your phones. Create a holy place void of distractions. You build a power spot through repeated sessions.

Set the mood: Light a candle if you like props. Undisciplined minds wander. It is helpful to have a picture, sacred symbol, a flower or something you consider holy as your focus.
I suggest you begin with a prayer followed by a statement of your intentions. When your silent moments come to a close, offer thanks with a grateful heart. It is a huge challenge for some people to be silent. Try not and judge your progress. A series of focused breath exercises will assist you in creating ambiance and comfort in your space. Your breath is the life of God sustaining you in form. A mantra, repeated words that are meaningful to you, can be very calming. Example: 'Be Still and Know that I Am God'. The God is the projection of Light, the individualized essence of Supreme Spirit that is within you. Be gentle with your progress. If unrelated thoughts arise, return to your focus. The idea is to relax, remember and feel loved and offer love.

The threefold benefits from daily meditation are physical, mental and spiritual. The physical aspect changes metabolism, heart rate, respiration, blood pressure and brain chemistry. A sense of balance is the result. Your thinking mind and power of concentration is strengthened. Eventually, you reach the point where outside noises do not disturb you. Spiritually, you connect consciously with the sublime Light, the higher Self. You may experience waves of energy, tingling, expansion and the oneness of a glorious Presence. Time and space cease to exist. Eventually, you reach a state of mind of peace and freedom. The joy experienced in contemplation and meditation far surpass any experiences of the lower human nature.

Who is the Self?

The Self I am referring to is the Self behind the physical appearance, emotions and mind. This Self in part can be seen clairvoyantly. It is intelligent Light. There are many references in the Bible on the subject of Light. Some examples are the giving of Light through Moses, the Eternal Laws bring Light, God's Word is Light, revelation as Light and Jesus brought Light into the world. He said He came as Light. Scripture mentions a Light in the sky shone around him and that for all things condemned are exposed by the Light. The apostles told their followers that they are all children of the Light. Divine Light is a projection from the Creator, our Source. We can call on the Light for help. Everything is Light. Being 'saved' is another way of saying that an individual soul is finally enlightened. He or she is consciously aware of the spirit identity and is consciously living as Light in form.

What I know as my truth is that anything inanimate or animate has a blueprint of Light behind it. Besides seeing angels and celestial beings, sacred geometry and awe inspiring visions all my life, I daily experience the all -pervading Holy Light and am constantly learning more truths about who we are and our purpose here on the planet. Everything created is born out of the Light. The Light is created first and dense matter comes later. I witness the Light with my eyes either open or closed. This is possible because spiritual Light is seen with different senses, the spirit senses.

How do you attract more Light into your life? One proven way is to connect to your own sublime Light. Your individual Light is more than the physical body, emotions, mind-soul. It is consciousness, spirit, the true life sustaining your body of matter. When you consciously make an effort to firmly connect to the energy of your Light body, you honor your Spirit. When you remember, accept and honor the inner essence, awareness is expanded and you are given further tools to expand and lift your consciousness to greater heights of understanding and creativity.

Honor Thy Self

There are obviously big changes happening all over the world. These changes will impact lives in ways unforeseen. What can you do? Begin by deciding there is something that you can do. I suggest that if you do not already love and honor your own being, start now. A movement has already begun towards simplicity, genuis, downsizing and reinventing ourselves. There is also a genuine growing interest in spirituality. Some people are actually leaving their jobs by choice and moving to rural areas.

To understand what honoring the Self means requires deliberate changes. Nine years ago, I left my day job, social life, gave up television and monitored telephone calls. After 18 years of offering motivational talks and healing opportunities to others, I decided to give back to my Self. I did this through choosing solitude, prayer, meditation, contemplation, research and listening more closely to the Intuitive Voice. In consciousness, I moved away from the appearance world of suffering, pain, lack, fear, separation and ignoring the rights of the inner Self. In other words, I chose to leave duality as it was and is and emerge myself in non duality and unity. As I understand purpose, our assignment is to firmly connect to the infinite eternal Self. Part of this process is to be a conscious spirit intelligence who is attentive, open and exercises critical thinking. In other words, not parrot or mimic others. Instead, use the higher part of the mind, discern and see clearly.

Self awareness demands that we are grateful and appreciative of all the good that we have. It is the genuine sense of a thankful humility that assists in our self awareness and healing. I spent hours each day walking along the riverfront communicating with the wild life , water and trees. When we allow ourselves to observe, communicate and feel the rhythm of the natural life, we are at peace. In choosing to step off the world for a specific time period, I found solitude and oneness with all life. Like most women and parents, I had a long history of giving to others. It was time to give back to who I really am.

Summary

Karma, both positive and negative, eventually exhausts its self. I suggest you stop focusing on negative effects. Instead, send the effects love and release them. If you are not aware of past harmful thoughts, words and actions, ask in prayer and meditation that the past be healed and negative influences removed.

It is a good discipline to pay attention to everything you project out into the world. What you project reflects the past and creates the future. To exercise self-mastery, we must make an effort to stop old patterns that have proven to hold us back from being fully God-realized. If a thought or activity obviously works against enlightenment, remove it. Keep asking for purification. To be cleansed of harmful energy clears the way towards joy and the freedom we desire. Love your Higher Self more as well as forgiving the lower self and others. How can you really love other people and nature if you do not genuinely love your own divinity?

Make a conscious decision to live from the highest part of your mind and heart. Accept and realize that the 'front door' method is to claim your spiritual identity, embrace and live it. You will be surprised how acceptance and love of Self removes tension, negative effects and frees you from bondage. Understand the hidden truth that society is programmed by a death wish. God does not bring separation, unease, sickness and death to us, we do.

There is a quote in the Bible that states, "God is not willing for any to perish, but that all should come to a knowledge of repentance". Repentance means to change our mind. To claim our divinity is the first step. The fact that souls are being healed on every level is our proof.

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.

Looking at Suffering

Although Jesus suffered, he did not have to. He chose his path. The path happened to be during a time of great spiritual ignorance and turmoil. His choice came from an inner well of deep understanding. He understood that the spiritually ignorant live in fear, despise change and resist responsibility for their own actions. He knew that the common energy was barbaric and that barbarians kill. That was his sacrifice. To place his sublime consciousness in a field of muck and mud.

Suffering is not required by law to evolve although that is the typical program most souls choose. Understanding truth and being the light is the answer. Through deep understanding, compassion, discernment, unlimited possibilities and a love for the creative act of simply being who we are molds the thinking mind so it may receive truth and digest it correctly. The thinking part of the mind becomes a receptable for unconditional love and infinite wisdom.

From the human point of view, I am well aware of the challenges that exist for souls who have attained a measure of inner peace and have already awakened love, goodness and balance within. We watch suffering. Those whom we love may be neglectful of personal consciousness or have ongoing disorder in their lives. It is then that we must train our own mind to be compassionate but yet detached. Everyone is not on the same time table to develop and control his or her senses and experiences. If you live in this type of situation, focus on your own center remembering that you too had to learn through effort how to achieve and sustain a state of equanimity as your initiation into Buddha or Christhood.

Everything is Choice

Everything is choice from the lowest and simplest form of life to the highest and most complicated. The only judgment given is the judgment from the unforgiving and dissatisfied part of the mind, soul and personality. There is no great Being dictating what you should do or not do. Remember, free will is your tool to use.

There have been commandments given, principles explained, laws created for moral reasons and the development of character defined. Guidelines have been offered throughout the ages to bring Divine Mind's Order into man's disorder. When we finally know and accept the spirit Self, we write the commandment, the principle, the law and it is our choice as to whether it is useful for growth or to be discarded. In other words, every unit of intelligent Light is free to express through the choices it makes. Learning comes through contemplation, meditation, prayer and action. It is not so much the effect that should be feared but the importance to understand the cause. When the thinking part of the mind understands the cause, effects can be neutralized and healed and discontinued if one chooses.

What works towards our inner joy is an understanding of the higher part of who we really are. Units of Light consciously and unconsciously are continuously seeking means to create and expand the power within. The incarnating soul needs to redefine itself in each incarnation experience. If the soul is not satisfied and feels limited, it is time to recreate the personality and physical body using the model of the higher Self as a guide to outwardly reflect beauty, truth, love and completeness.

Past Lives

Have you ever wondered why someone else appears to have everything going perfectly in his life and you are going through loss and perhaps relentless suffering on many levels? There are many possible explanations. It could be that your friend or loved one focused on purification and higher knowledge on matters that eternally count somewhere else in time. It could also indicate that he has chosen to take a brief 'vacation' from inner thinking, drama and spiritual evolution. Another possibility, the easiness of his life could also indicate that he has reached a level of inner peace and the effects of his developed consciousness are now evident. I personally feel that many advanced souls have ongoing challenges during this cycle of collective soul history because they have chosen to move fast forward and realize a higher state of enlightenment. Challenges definitely make or break us. There are countless reasons behind appearances. This in itself is a good reason not to judge another or even ourselves.

The average amount of past lives each of us have experienced is beyond conscious comprehension. Sometimes, a soul is fortunate to simply understand, accept and take action on one virtue or gift gained in a past embodiment. One of the many gifts that I appreciate is the ability to periodically review the strengths of previous life achievements. A Voice whispers the name, geographical area, time of history and more. When the information is offered, I usually research the data looking for a message that will help me now. I do not share the information because it is personally meant for the expansion of personal awareness. We do have strengths that we have won from the past. Knowing what they are will help us in the present. The past, present and future are in this moment. Our strengths are blessings. Use them now. Look honestly at the weaknesses that remain and transform them into future blessings. You are the weaver of your own personal tapestry.

Causes projected from Mind

All cause stems from mind, not from the product of the mind. If you attain mind power and learn to command matter a growing power that enables you to heal and to avoid the necessity of having to heal will be yours. The cause of problems on any level happens because we defy the law of balance in some respect. For instance, you cannot heal anything, command anything unless you have first learned to obey, an action many people do not like. You must have the Higher Knowledge in order to obey. Trust is linked with the Higher Knowledge. Nor can anyone heal beyond his power to obey the higher principles. The growth of spiritual awareness transforms humanity only a little at a time during each successive lifetime.

Humans typically ignore the invisible universe. Misery is caused by ignorance of spiritual law and man's defiance of it. What we give out comes back to us. It is a law of balance. Humanity is still in its early dawn and the majority do not know how to live, or how to love, or who they are and why they are here. Too few have yet awakened to their divinity. Therefore, while humans are still so new in their spiritual evolution, they must be forgiven. As Jesus said, 'They know not what they do". Because the majority pay scant attention to the power of the mind, they do not understand that there is no god taking a child away in death and no god causing ill health, lack or limitation. When consciousness is elevated, we do go through a process of purification and a gradual understanding and balance begins to manifest as a constant energy.
