Question to Ask Yourself-Do I Live That Intimacy?

We can live in an indescribable singular intimacy with the Divine when we restore ourselves to the lost parentage...the God within. What stops our progress is when we are caught in the weaknesses of persecution, slander, enemies and all sorts of abusiveness. As we learn to use challenges as an opportunity for growing in consciousness and love, a feeling of genuine intimacy evolves. When we consciously connect and live with the One, who is our inmost being, all goodness will guide us into the vibrant flow of intimacy with the Source. Humans for the most part feel a lack of Being. The fault lies in identifying with matter. If we leave, meaning the personality, God can enter. What we eventually learn to do is stand back and disconnect emotionally to the illusion and the ignorance of wrong identification.

When we are attached to the impermanent, the consequences of ignorance and attachment result in sickness and death. What we judge as evil and sin actually arise from the blamer in ourselves. The blamer is the slave, the victim, the darkness within; it is not being fed with light. The savior is also found within; it provides the source of knowledge. Negative fixations are a form of punishment intended to drive us back to awareness. Think about that one. Also, sadness is the most harmful of energies...it really does a number on the soul. Anger alienates and can bring a form of possession. Jealousy can be lethal; it is a form of murder. As humans, we remain trapped in dualism when experiencing these emotions.

Many people go through the motions connected with religion and they more than likely do not experience an intimacy with God. If the individual does not deeply love God, he or she is blocked from access to the higher wisdom. Intellectual knowledge is not where freedom is. There is and always has been a grotesque parroting of wisdom. Intimacy with the Divine is not possible. The soul is crippled. Madness can masquerade as wisdom. You will recognize true words inwardly. As more light is experienced and intimacy felt, an intuitive certainty and understanding of what the message truly is and what actually happened will be realized as an authentic transmission of love.

Have a sun filled weekend~
Much love...

Unhappiness is the Consequence of Our Actions

We were taught that to be a good person we must give to others. This is true but not at the expense of making our self a cripple. I am referring to the common practice of being busy, busy and busier all the time. How can we keep negativity away from our door if we are spreading personal energy all over the place? As an example, the body is the temple of the soul. What are you doing to protect the temple so intruders do not invade your consciousness? Forgetting to honor the body alone can put the inner Self in exile. Are you the type of person who must be busy all the time and feel guilty if you are not? If so, it is time to stop and reevaluate your life. Busyness will eventually create a deep unhappiness within. It reminds me of a dream that I once had. I collected all my most precious jewels and gave them away to someone who was extremely busy. What a waste! A person who is overly occupied is quickly edging toward exile from his or her own true identity.

To give is a natural gesture of an open heart. Not to take disciplined time out to receive from the font of the inner Wisdom leads to grief. To give and not allow your self to receive is not honoring who you are or permitting the inner spirit to feed you the divine nectar. When I refer to receiving, it is not necessarily receiving help or guidance from another human. There is a higher form of receiving that pulls us out of the short sightedness of busyness and returns us to the Center where we can identify with the inner image, the original image of God. If we are caught up in the busyness of complicated activities, it is very easy to fall into the habit of a poor use of the spiritual senses, intelligence and emotions. How can we hear or see with the spiritual senses or experience the intimacy of the Divine if we are constantly caught up in activities of the world? I am suggesting that you give priority to developing an intimacy with the Source and Principle of your being, the One. If you allow negligence through busyness, you will eventually be sad. Sadness is one of the worse experiences of the soul.

Start simplifying your life. Learn to delegate responsibilities to others. You are not other people's savior. How can you be liberated if you do not give full attention or have access to sacred knowledge? If you do not make daily time for deep contemplation, prayer and meditation, you will experience a great loss. The mind will be unprepared and the ability to activate true vision compromised. As you learn to erase the old design that kept enabled a sense of separation from the inner wisdom, others will naturally gravitate toward your energy. They will recognize that you have something special to give them. This is true. What they do not realize is that the treasure they seek is already within them. They do not know about their treasure and usually do not believe you when you remind them. In this writing, I am simply urging you to remember your own treasure and not neglect it. Do not fall into the habit of busyness and neglect your own precious jewels. It is a greater gift for you to help others through example to realize that the Divine gift they are missing is already within them. Keep reminding yourself and those who come to you of this great truth. When friends and strangers finally listen and take action, they will understand that they do not require an intermediary. The Super Consciousness, the higher part of the Mind, is the intermediary between the feeling nature and the spirit nature. As they learn to identify with the Super Consciousness, the Christ Presence, they will transfigure the body, expand and calm the soul and identify with the inner Spirit.

Why Focus on Love?

Divine Consciousness is attained through a pure and right spirit. We regain our sense of holiness when we are in harmony with the unconditional love that secretly and silently lives within. When we are aware of the Source and have an ongoing direct communication, we are able to transcend matter and its discord. The deeper our understanding and the more awakened we are to our true identity as an individualized spirit, the greater the love energy within interacts with the love energy without. Love is what motivates a true teacher and healer of souls. Love for the One, That which is Indescribable, yet felt deeply, is where true freedom and joy begins.

The greater our effort to perfect the thinking part of the mind, respect the body temple and overcome the ego-personality, the greater the influx of the light of God flowing through us. For us to be truly effective, it requires a constant vigilance so we are not pulled in by collective mesmerism and suffering. A healer can only give according to the degree of his or her own level of purity and illumination. There are many different forms of healing and healers. The consciousness of both the giver and the receiver determine manifestation.

To experience the intimacy of divine love is indeed the sweetest power imaginable. To feel the inexpressible, the awesome, personal and embracing touch of holiness transforms consciousness and makes us feel whole again. To be a true healer, it is necessary to heal our self. When the heart is open to forgiveness, the grace of the Holy Spirit touches us. This holiness is all Power and Presence: It is love. People today refer to the Divine as energy in order to reach the uninitiated. The Divine is energy but it is beyond left brain thinking. It is unlimited, supreme and a sublime form of love that takes one's breath away. Yes, it lives as us. The greater our love for It, the greater our effectiveness in healing ourselves and those who are open to receiving it.

Well Known People and Angels

I love it when people in the public eye acknowledge and give credit to an angel presence or intervention. Sometime back, Sir Ernest Shackleton, a south pole explorer, reported he and his party were always aware of one or more angels who traveled with them across the treacherous ice until they reached safety. Another explorer, Francis Sydney Smythe, had a very intimate exchange with an angel while tackling Mt. Everest in the 1930's. A friendly presence climbed by his side throughout his journey making him feel safe in the midst of great danger. At one point, the friendly presence seemed so real that Smythe divided his meager ration of chocolate and shared it with the angel. Smythe said that he never felt lonely and knew he would not come to harm. In the old and famous stories, Charles Lindberg talked about the presence that flew with him across the Atlantic watching over him when he accidentally dozed off. Wonderful stories!

More recently, such celebrities as the Rev. Billy Graham and country music legend Johnny Cash talked openly about their visitations from angels. Dr. Billy Graham in his book, "Angels: God's Secret Agents", said he was convinced angels exist to provide unseen aid on our behalf. Since then, Dr. Graham has experienced a profound and personal experience with his Guardian Angel. Graham in his seventies was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease and was afflicted with a variety of other ailments. Graham begged for God to take him Home but that is when he experienced an incredible encounter with his guardian angel. The angel revealed to him that his work on earth was not yet finished. The angel convinced him that he must continue his work on earth.

Graham had a spectacular celestial experience where he journeyed to Heaven during a series of angelic visits during a several month period. His guardian appeared to him as a winged warrior dressed in radiant white garments. He said the angel told him he has been looking after him all his life. The angel revealed a glimpse of the heaven realm that awaited Billy. He received three messages and three visits. Graham accepted God's Will that he still has work to do on earth and he felt like a new man. Isn't this an inspiring message?
