Going beyond the Ego

Until a soul is balanced and has achieved a measure of enlightenment, it is typically ruled by possessiveness and ambition. Most people are empty shells acting out a poor imitation of living. This is what scripture refers to as the living dead. The reality of confusion, spiritual identity loss and ignorance and the feelings of loneliness caused by a sense of separation pushes the ego to reach out through attainment to fill the emptiness. Emptiness is filled with possessions, power, wealth, the love of others, knowledge, talents and prestige.

This process is actually a vain one and very sad because it is the result of the absence of love and sense of separation from one's own true spirit within that is the real cause of unhappiness. When we finally honor, love and accept the reality of our higher selves, with our full being, love blooms and we begin to experience what it is meant to be free.

We are are own worse enemies. This fact can be witnessed anytime and anywhere. Most people are looking for the wrong things in the wrong places. When I mention love, I am referring to spiritual Light, truth, beauty, reality and an intimate oneness with the essence of the hidden spirit. No possession, no power, no amount of money, no social status or prestige can fill the void created by the absence of divine love. It is the enormous emptiness that is the driving force to achieve attainment in one area or another. Although attainments are recommended and make us feel good about ourselves, eventually we learn that they do not fill the void waiting for the Divine.

Unlocking the Mystery

The third chapter of Pantanjali Sutras is called the Siddhis section. It consists of 54 out of the 195 sutras that reveal what we need to unlock the mystery of who we are. And the process that is offered is a very simple one called self-observation. My intent is to help willing souls reach self-understanding. Self-understanding helps us break the bonds of conditioning. It leads to a state of oneness with life, a union with God and finally our destination, a state of perfection while living in the flesh.

We must use the tools that have been given to us and extract the understanding necessary to reach a state of self-understanding. For an example , working with mantras will accelerate the evolution of the soul. Yes, there are spiritual powers gained as we become more enlightened. Although very convenient, Powers are not the goal. Why? They can become detriments if we become attached to them. It is the ego who desires power in order to expand itself. If we can use powers without losing our state of balance, they will work for the good of all who experience them.

The ideal is to remove all the obstacles to our spiritual growth and joy. Even when we have psychic and spiritual powers, we are not necessarily enlightened. It is simply a fact that we have added another aspect or attachment to our self-image. In other words, the attainment becomes part of our ego. Many people place their focus on becoming this or becoming that. Becoming is part of the human measuring time routine. We may feel insufficient. Insufficiency's will spur us on to become better than what we judge we are. Actually, fear of lack and limitation is the barrier to self-awareness. Most people are fearful of both life and death and do not yet comprehend what real love actually is. They desire it as a form of self-centeredness under the guise of pleasure, security and a need fulfilled.

A Cramp in Consciousness

Mastery of the outer without mastery of the inner world keeps people barbaric despite all outward forms offered to society. The solution to peace, joy, wisdom and love cannot be found in the outer world. We eventually learn that spirit and science must lean on each other. We will continue to live in a nursery world if we do not wake up to our spirit identity. This is not an intellectual awakening. Hopefully, what I understand as reality will help give you a grander vision of who you really are.

A little more than 5,000 years ago a race of people moved down from central Asia and settled in the Indus Valley of the Indian subcontinent. They brought with them a new science, previously unknown to the world. It was the science of mind. They were the Aryans, and their language was Sanskrit. They brought an astounding divergence from the language and science known at that time. Before that time, mankind occupied itself with the science of tools and the understanding of the external world...how to build, hunt, sow, reap and attain physical security. The arrival of the Aryans shifted the emphasis to the identity of the builder; they sought to understand the workings of individuals. The Aryans were the first known people to use a systematic science of enquiry to study their own natures. The result was the science of yoga. The science transcended time and culture.

2500 years later a verbal description of the ancient science from the mists of time was offered in the Sutras of Patanjali. It is a science of self-enquiry. Sutra means thread, a line of thought. Patanjali wrote 195 sutras. The notions of divination, astral projection, clairvoyance, channeling were first written about in the sutras. Also, the concepts of the aura, spirit guides, inner planes and non-physical planes originated in the sutras.

Divine Mother and World Changes

The United States and the world is passing through a transformative and transmutative shift on many different levels. The shift includes a period of orientation including discovery, acknowledgment, recognition and acceptance of a different reality. What is happening in case you haven't noticed is that consciousness is finally evolving into a more meaningful vibration.
Within us lives a spirit. Within earth is spirit. The shift is from a very dense level upward toward interaction with Spirit. This means that everything is breaking up in matter because we are moving from a material perspective to a spiritual grandeur.

When we incarnate, we spiral downward into matter. Now, it is time for us to consciously while in a physical body to move upward toward Spirit. You will notice in the months and years ahead that humanity is shifting from the reactive and emotional energy of the solar plexus region to the concern and love for all life of the heart energy. For this to become a solid reality, destruction in the world of matter will take place.

We are at the threshold of the Aquarian Age. New ideas, laws and approaches will surface. Humanity will begin to rediscover its lost dream of heaven being able to be lived on earth. Suffering usually is a companion to drastic changes. The less resistance expressed by people, the easier the transition. Eventually, we will grow into a unified spirituality, a teaching focused on Radiant Light.

The voice of the people will be heard as we move from the ignorance of darkness to the illuminating Light of Spirit. Awakened souls will live by a higher will, power and creativity. Love and wisdom will be the result of Divine Intelligence in action. Learning in a group setting with a similar intention will accelerate your transformation. There are Celestial Beings waiting to help those who are ready to focus on soul evolution. A new balance will be created by those who choose the Radiant Light.

More souls will discover and know themselves as the intelligent expression of Universal Mind. If you desire guidance and assistance from master beings, do what you must do to clear out emotional hindrances and blockages that you have accumulated throughout your long journey. Divine Mother specializes in removing the impediments that work against wholeness and love. This is why I have been prompted to offer healing sessions where Divine Mother is in charge.

Practice discernment, cooperation, keep a close watch on your intentions and be courageous and the vision to bring in a new humanity will energize and inspire you. Entering the Age of Aquarius offers higher knowledge and opportunities to express the inner spirit. Humanity has a choice to move from an obsession with materiality to a higher spiral of truth and beauty. Take steps now to remove all that hinders your transformation and experience with me the joy of standing free.

Healing of our Spiritual Distress

In the insightful book, The Secret of the Golden Flower, it says that a poor man is not helped by having more or less generous alms pressed upon him, although this may be his wish. He is much better helped if we show him how, by work, he can free himself permanently of his need. These words of wisdom are to be applied to earning our spiritual maturity in order to possess it. What is the use of reading or hearing about wisdom and how to heal our distress if we do not apply the teachings?

Many people long for simple truths today but if you are lazy and impatient you will likely settle for cheap simplifications and platitudes. Our world is on the brink of a great change. Are you ready to do your part? A spiritual crisis of such dimensions is happening right now. Are you open to the truth that redemption depends on the 'work' you do upon yourself? It is time to make real our own deepest meaning...God-realization. Meister Eckhart stated that 'God must be brought to birth in the soul again and again'. It not a consciousness that we can take for granted.

If you desire to be healed, spirit must live as you. If not you are dead. Without a living spirit directing and nourishing your life, the mind is as dead as matter. To be free and live in the flesh as godliness demands the most thoroughgoing and persevering preparation and love for truth.
We must let go of our attachments. If not, we are still possessed. When we are possessed, it means the existence of something stronger than who we are. It is time to look very closely at our own consciousness and rid ourselves of the energy of the heavy and replace it with the light of truth. When we open our heart and mind to the Light, sadness and sorrow, distress and separation will vanish from memory.

Celestial Beings

Celestial beings appear in classical myths and philosophy, in the vision of the Shamans, in Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Zorastrianism and Islam as well as in Judaism and early Christianity. In all traditions, angels serve as messengers of God and are said to hover between heaven and earth. Religious scholars, in general, simply say the number of angels is too great to count. Most modern versions of the Bible carry approximately three hundred references to angels and their duties here on Earth. The Reformation did believers a great disservice because the entire hierarchy of angelic life, the invisible life between earth forms and God, was dismissed.

If you are committed in seeking truth and loving the journey, you will be able at some point on the road toward completeness to establish an intimate relationship with our invisible friends. They are willing companions whose love, light and wisdom enrich our lives immeasurably. Angels desire to share and assist in the area of spiritual growth, helping us move quickly toward the unique spiritual destiny that is designated for the children of God. Their guidance and support is not to be taken lightly; it is something to rejoice in and to give thanks for.

Angels are present although you may not feel or see them. They are authentic beings of intelligent light whose role is to help when you believe and trust. I urge you to cultivate a taste for the Unseen and be open to God's unexpected ways if you are not already. An awakening awareness of multi-dimensional life is only the beginning of an extraordinary journey of love and fulfillment. With the growing awareness among people all over the world of a finer vibrating life right here in our midst, I felt it appropriate to honor your soul by recognizing and respecting the celestial friends who are here for you. The angels relate to the higher part of you. When you consciously connect to their energy, it makes the journey towards freedom and true identity a much more exciting and fulfilling adventure.

What happened to the ideal of your soul?

The soul's ideal before it enters a womb is to be a balanced and free being while it is here in the flesh. To be a wide awake being, an individual must remember who it is, use its God given talents and not fall prey to falsity and delusion. A balanced being does not have an identity problem. This is a huge package to open and use. The good part is that through life we are given reminders by people who do remember and our making a concerted effort to express their higher Self in matter. If a soul would choose a good environment and parents for its beginning years in a body, life would not be so complicated. Unfortunately, it usually doesn't work that way. As a result, it doesn't take that long to forget the ideals one had prior to physical birth.

So here we are in a confined form that has been fed a great deal of falsity since a child and we are struggling to be rid of the emotional baggage of the past. We want to be free to be our selves, the better part of us that continues to live after the physical body is dropped. If you are fortunate to have decent health right now, take advantage of this blessing and seriously get to work on transforming your mind.

The time to expand consciousness and unlearn the heavy load you have accumulated from mistakes, corrupted thought and old conditioning is when you still feel good physically. All weakness, all ignorance keeps you from the truth of who you really are. Begin to ask the higher part of you, the spirit, to take charge and direct your thoughts and feelings so you will make the right choices and necessary changes for a much needed healing of the soul, mind and body. It can be done.
