Something About Nothing

To get attention, do what you came here to do. Why get attention in the first place? The type of attention I am referring to is drawing others to you because you are actually doing something visibly and tangibly in the area of consciousness and not wasting time wallowing in nothing. To be happy do what you came into form to do. To gain a lasting happiness do what your soul desires. This doing is the real something and most of human activity can be described as doing nothing. You will find that I can be very blunt at times and if you are sensitive and feel the words are too harsh then these sharing are not for you. You will have to struggle a little bit more, continue to be confused and feel weary with the human trip and then one day you will say to yourself, "Stop!". What needs to be stopped is an activity coupled with vacant thoughts that have to do with nothing. Okay, what is something? Something is finally catching on to who you really are, embracing the inner Self and living life as it was intended to be.

Life was not intended to be a clumsy experiment or a series of mishaps and sorrow. Human life was visualized as an ideal of unity, creativity, beauty, respect, genuine love and laughter. How often do you laugh? Do you respect all forms of life, which also include the various religions, color of skin, level of education and question the many judgments and conditioning held on every subject imaginable? Laughter is needed. When you look at your role as an actor trying out one role after another in the hope that finally one day a role will really fit the inner you, you know exactly what I am talking about.

We can intellectually state that the spirit and soul are in harmony with the ego-personality and the body. That is the intellect talking. The only way that you will have proof of integration, blending of the subtle energies of Light with matter is when the subtle energies of body, mind, soul are spiritualized by spirit. How do you do that? You go into training. Training requires a belief, a commitment, a discipline that persevere. Training requires trust and determination. Keep moving to this rhythm and you will have one proof after another that you are definitely in step and that you are uniting matter and spirit according to the Divine Plan.

What Actually is Spiritual Ignorance?

This week we will examine the sickness of the heart and mind and how the sickness is recognizable through very common inclinations. For instance, when we lack discrimination, we become enslaved. Why? The inner Nature has not been recognized. Spiritual ignorance takes many forms. The personality becomes enamoured with impermanence. Impermanence generates illusions, attachments and the two lead to suffering. Ignorance is a sickness of the heart and mind and falsely assumes that the impermanent world is where riches can be found. Not so. The inner light is infinitely richer than that of any possession.

The most powerful way to protect your self from negative energy is to remove the remaining ignorance's that exist in your own thinking and feeling nature. Until we see the harm that we are doing to ourselves by refusing to acknowledge the darkness, which I also call spiritual ignorance, we will not be free of negative influences. Some of the ignorance's are the following: lack of discrimination, not allowing or seeing the Light, lack of a higher understanding, cravings for things or people that are not permanent, ignorance of your own spiritual identity, jealousy, enslavement to the physical body, intellectual knowledge and impure intention. When we are freed from the ignorance's that are commonly accepted as our identifications, we will not make future mistakes or attract negative entities or energies toward us.

We can deliberately erase the false design that we have in most cases ignorantly created with a higher design, a design that has as its foundation true understanding. Understanding what needs to be removed, moves us toward harmony, oneness and equanimity. We are on earth in a physical body to learn to grow. We can be restored by being reminded of our purpose and then taking the right actions. As we discard the old and bring in the new design, it is easier to create an indescribable singular intimacy with our Source. What I would like you to ask yourself today is, "Do I live in that intimacy?" Go over the above list of possible ignorance's that block a soul from recovery and each day deliberately take another step toward true freedom.
