How Do You Know Who is Speaking?

How can you be certain if the words in your mind are from the higher part of you when asking for counsel? To quiet the human mind and body and center yourself would be an obvious answer. There can be times that you do that very thing but are misled because your emotions are in control and you are not centered although you think you are. Often the human personality gives the answers that we wish were truth. The process of receiving correct and helpful counsel is increased when we pay close attention and trust. Even then, mistakes may be made because you have not learned to be still.

The first test to receive true counselling is the acceptance of the Real You, the higher Self. The majority of people think of themselves as the intellect and body. The intellect and physical body are not the awakened consciousness. The key to success and contact is to feel and know the Divine Self within. In times of great stress, the message that always comes to me is 'Be still! 'Be Centered! Know, I Am the Real You...God in form'. It may take you stating and thinking these thoughts a thousand times a day before you realize their potency and actually believe them. People tend to intellectualize thoughts regarding spirit identity and fail to allow the truth to penetrate deep into the soul.

When you are relaxed and centered state the words, "Be Still" to everyone of your cells. If you do this with love and persistence, you will taste the power and presence of the Real You. True help and companionship will naturally be with you. An amazing activity will take place whereby the higher Self will take control and do whatever needs to be done. I will never forget the time when I was sitting at my computer sad and troubled. I was actually looking at a blank 'write' page before sending a message to a friend. As I sat staring at the page, words suddenly appeared on their own from an invisible hand. The message said, "I am Peace".

Undermining the Personality

I have the gift of seeing, hearing and feeling the personality of another soul after it has crossed over into the subtle worlds of Light. I always find it amazing how similar the personality is after death to the temperament it expressed while in the body. From my understanding, the personality from the life the soul recently dropped remains with it until it is ready to move on to higher vibrations or descend again into physical form. Once the pull to the old life wanes, the soul begins to express more of its true personality, which is a culmination of the strengths of all its past personalities.

There is also a very different authority at the same time. It is a Divine Personality that the evolving soul gradually through life experiences recognizes and accepts as its own. Before the union occurs, the human personality will rebel because it generally is proud of its individuality and doesn't yet recognize its true higher Nature, the Divine Personality. The human personality is needed to develop a strong mind and body, strong enough so it can eventually reach a point in conscious awareness where it is prepared to know the higher Self. Once we recognize the authority of the higher Self, the undermining of the temporary human personality begins.

People often assume that it is the human personality who desires to spiritually evolve. It is not. It is the hidden mystery, the real Divine Personality within who makes the decision to come out of hiding. It is actually this higher Self that is leading us through all the nonsense and illusions of the human personality. This is the ancient method used to awaken the soul to the unreality so it will turn to the one and only Reality.

The True Bread of Life

The Bread of Life is You. It is the part that knows all things...your higher Self. It is the part of you that responds to truth, beauty, joy and Light. It is this part that is your real Teacher. The Divine Self will bring you clear messages regarding all the things you need for your physical, mental and spiritual growth and happiness. Whenever you resonate to words of another, it is but a confirmation of your inner knowing.

Your higher Self is not your human mind, neither is it your intellect. They are only outward phases of your human personality. The higher Self, the spirit of you, is an expression and extension of your Divine Impersonal Spirit. The goal is to understand this truth thoroughly and live it completely. When we step away from the domination of the human personality, we free ourselves from further entrapment.

So much of what we define as us are the thoughts, belief systems, and personal opinions of others who are also threatened and struggling. The biggest problem is the personality who fights the truth of who you really are. The Divine Self has always been with you. If you have not yet achieved understanding of the significance of your true Self, you will not know the Presence with confidence and an ever deepening love. Would you like to consciously know your real Identity? Are you ready to embrace the mystery and cross the bridge of separation, limitation, doubt and fear?

Exploring the Depths of Your Inner Abyss

The two principles of good and evil coexist in each human being. The heavenly enlightened ones know that before the last degrees of Initiation, we have to explore the depths of our inner abyss. There are wild beasts, so to speak hidden in the subconsciousness part of the mind. The tendencies are usually from a remote past. It is best to go down to that level siphon up just a few elements at a time. You go about this clearing through prayer, Harmony, bringing more radiant Light into your life and love.

When you become aware of negative influences that are attached to your mind and body, study them closely. You must be strong and anchored sufficiently or firmly in the Light to conquer forces that have controlled you in different degrees. Much of what is harmful to a human both within and without are influences from the astral world. Many people feel like they have been invaded. When you are unbalanced, the nervous system receives severe shocks. Help is available from the Angels and Archangels, the Initiates and Masters, and all the Patriarchs and Prophets and also from friends and relatives who vibrate in the subtle worlds of Light.

Archangel Michael is a perfect collective symbol who fights for the good. There are many Hindu gods such as Lord Murugan and Goddess Durga who work with us when we recognize and accept their presence and power. When we ally with our own higher Selves and bright celestial friends, we do much better than struggling alone. These glorious and heavenly beings work with the Light just as you need to do for enlightenment, harmony and liberation. Invite the forces on High which are light, love, purity and kindness to assist you in a thorough divine vacuum cleaning.

The Philosophy of Unity

The early Initiates always spoke of unity. Dualism appeared on the scene much later, in the Persian religion of Manicheism, for instance, or in the Christian concept of Satan as the adversary of God. God has no adversaries. This is impossible. Humans can have adversaries if we remain spiritually ignorant, blocked and continually break Universal laws.

Today being Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on gratitude. You who desire to return to a state of mind and soul in unity can do so through love: love for the Absolute One, a love so strong and pure that the door of Grace opens wide and life flows in you. For this state of consciousness to be a constant, work on transforming yourselves.

The majority of humans have distanced themselves from the Godhead. They feel powerless and blocked from the Light similar to the curtains being closed. It is up to us in trust, joy and gratitude to open our curtains and allow the Light of truth, wisdom, beauty and love to fill us. No one else will draw back the curtains. It is up to us to do that. God does the impossible. Humans must draw back the curtains of ignorance, superstition, fear, limitation and doubt.

Do everything you can not to dwell on divisions. Understand that opposing forces exist in order to work together. Poisons or natural forces are only harmful for those who are too weak or too spiritually ignorant to know how to handle them. The important thing is to reach a state of mind where you sustain a reality that does not divide things up. Live each day asking for Grace and you will know firsthand the gratitude of the Christ Consciousness.

Only One Exists

God is the Father, the Mother, the Son, the Origin, the First Cause. People mistakenly believe that the extensions from the First Cause are separate. The devil has no separate existence apart from God although negative energy definitely has a separate intent and field of influence. That which we call evil, Satan or the devil is simply one aspect of unity. There is only One. Everything that appears good or not good are divisions or facets of the One, which contains them all.

This is the teaching that has always been given in the Temples and in the Mysteries. The number One contains all numbers (aspects-influences). The farther away a soul is from its Source,the Godhead, the more likely negative thoughts and actions will appear. The whole purpose of devolution is to return to the Center, the point of the Creatrix. It is the fallen consciousness of humans that have elevated the status of the negative energy referred to as evil, devil and Satan.

Too many souls link the devil with power. This occurs because they have broken away from their true spirit identity and the Cause behind creation. If people would work only with the One, division will be removed. When man's consciousness is divided, he is mutilated, destroyed and will disintegrate. Bottom-line is that he is constantly at war between the two....good and evil. It is time for souls to go beyond good and evil and rise above them both.

Contradictory Forces

Contradictory forces can work together for the same goal. True initiates never see things as this is good and that is evil. This is matter and that is the spirit. They believe in unity and that duality is simply a manifestation of unity. People even mistake God for the devil. Peace will never come as long as we cling to dualism. Thousands of years ago Hermes Trismegistus wrote in his Emerald Tablet: 'That which is below is like to that which is above, and that which is above is like to that which is below, to accomplish the miracles of one thing.'

Hermes Trismegistus concludes the Emerald Tablet with the words: 'For this reason I am called Hermes Trismegistus (Trismegistus means "thrice greatest"), because I hold the Science of the three worlds.' He knew the secret of unity; he knew how to use that single, many-faceted force, and it was thanks to this force that he possessed all powers. This is the same force of which it is said that he who possesses it shall possess the glory of the whole world. If he could possess it, why not us?

Duality is nothing more than an expression of unity. The first and only number is One. One is the only significant number and Two, Three, Four and so on, are simply divisions of One. Two is simply the polarization of One. The magnet is an example. A magnet is polarized but it is not divided. It is one and it remains one. Only One exits.
